Book Description
Do you feel like you are too nice? Sherry Argov's Why Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask: -Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change? -Why do men take nice girls for granted? -Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself? Full of much-needed advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry in the relationship-you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort.

 Worldly advice, worldly results! July 25, 2008
I've actually not read the book but, I was reading some of the introductory information here on this site and I was intrigued. I understand where the author is coming from and for the most part, I think the principles she provides make sense to a point. Just remember that there are a lot of immature people out there who are "users" both men and women. Find someone who is as passionate about you as you are for them. Someone who is mature and looking for a relationship with some content. This will eliminate a lot of the game playing. Take time to get to know someone before getting into a relationship. Relationships are like investments. If you just throw your money around pretty soon it loses value. Long-term minded people are careful and take their time.
I agree with some of the other people who have commented about clinginess and that sort of thing. If you do that, you need to wake up. As much as you can examine the other person to see if you want to be with them just remember the coin has a flip side. Look at yourself and the person you are interested in or dating from an overall perspective and see what improvements can be made.
There is so much worldly advice on relationships, kind of like dieting, that it is confusing but, I believe that you attract others who are similar to you. If you're someone who sleeps around you'll attract the same. If you're nice you'll probably attract someone nice. Birds of a feather flock together!
I agree that men are more attracted to a strong independent woman who knows where she is going but, is still feminine and kind. Whatever type of woman you are, you shouldn't (as a single) rely on a man to come along and take care of you. Go out and get your career and success.
Anyway, maybe I'll read the book for kicks!
 I'm guilty July 12, 2008

I am guilty of being one of those women the "Nice Girl." Too clingy, too nice, always changing my plans to accomodate.This book has helped me to see where I've made mistakes and how to easily remedy them and gain my man's respect and attention! If you have felt like a "doormat" you have to read this book. Another great book that I recommend is How to Snag a Guy and Keep Him Hooked: 99 Ways to Make Him Ache for You Both books are worth buying!
Unfortunate title but a very good book July 12, 2008
Though this book has a crass title, the author has an incredible sense of the immutable, unalterable laws of human attraction. Her writing style is such that you can't help cringing as she describes the women who act so desperate, or thinking how cool they are when they act confident.
The truth is, this book isn't about "male vs female" psychology. It's about powerful, fundamental truths that are the same for both sexes. These truths can be summed up in a few principles:
- Everyone wants to feel lucky to be with whomever they're with
- No one wants a clinging vine
The way to get there is to:
- Be cool, but not angry
- Never try to force or control
If you know the true meaning of the word, then "Blessed are the meek" says the same thing.
The great thing about this book is it gives you a true feel for how unattractive, or attractive, any of us can be. If you're one who keeps making the same mistakes in relationships and ending up on the short end, read this, and you'll see yourself as your intendeds see you. You'll also see how you will be seen if you play by these rules. You may as well accept and play by these principles - you'll never beat them.
Or you can save yourself the money and just ask yourself, in times of weakness, "Does the person I yearn for act like he or she feels LUCKY to be with me?" If the answer's "Not so much", you better do something fast to turn it around, or they'll be gone. The good news is you really can do something about it. You CAN act cool even if you're caving inside.
A book I like even better than this one is called "Love Tactics: How to Win the One You Want". This book is also about these fundamental truths, with things you can do to turn a bad situation around in a hurry. It also covers more situations and is more helpful in letting you know what you can actually do in these situations where you're not getting respect. The authors' belief is that romantic desire is composed of three things:
- friendship - listening, having fun, being supportive
- chemistry - that physical attraction
- respect - the other person knows that you're willing to walk away rather than allow anyone to treat you with disrespect.
It's a great book .
For me these games are over as I finally found my soul mate, the love of my life, the woman of my dreams. But it took me 54 years and a LOT of heartache to get there. I hope you're a quicker study!
A MUST READ for confused women everywhere! July 7, 2008
I actually discovered this book while searching the bookstore for something else. I ABSOLUTELY reccomend it to any women who is sick of dealing with the games men play and who want to change the way they react. A friend bought it, and shared it with me. We were AMAZED by some of the things that we have read and have since moved onto "Why Men Marry Bitches" which is another work of art. Sherry Argov obviously knows what she is talking about here and gets much of the imformation right from the hourses mouth! It was a fun read too! No doubt you will find yourself calling your other single friends to share your incredible insites with them as well!
Why I didn't read it before? June 18, 2008

I wonder how many relationships (and self-esteem) I could have saved in my life if I had read this book before...
This book is full of so many good points that it should be a required reading to all women, of any age. We always forget that we should think about ourselves first... making our first and biggest mistake!
This book can REALLY help you to keep the man you love BY YOUR SIDE!
After reading it, I gave this book to my 18 year old daughter, she has passed it on to her friends... and we all have benefited from the advices... regardless of our 26 years age gap!.
I just started reading it again!
