Where To Buy Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman's Guide to Winning Her Man's Heart


I am a single 30 year old female. I got this book out of curiosity since it was so highly rated and glad I did. It IS worth the read. Looking back at the relationships I have been in, good and bad, most (not all) of this book is dead on!!!

CONS:
I HOPE that the women who read this book don't believe everything they read and don't do everything she says or take it too literally. I know that if I did some of the things she suggested, any decent man would look at me like I'm crazy and tell me not to play games and just tell them what the heck is going on. They would think I was immature for not just talking to them. Through a lot of the book, whether it is comical or not, she too often refers to men as being lying manipulative jerks who test you and get away with as much as they can, for as long as they can. Instead she suggests you manipulate them? I'd be ticked as guy if my woman did some of the things she suggests. She seems to have just interviewed one type of man. Unfortunately some men DO like a woman who shuts up and does what she is told, and some DO like women who fight and create drama. She also takes things to the extreme. For example I don't believe men really need for you to act like virgin- just not a slut! And they aren't purposefully manipulating you or testing you- they are just inconsiderate and selfish.

PROS:
While you wouldn't guess it from the above, there are more pros than cons in this book. Argov uses great analogies and great quotes to drive her point home. She uses a simple format that easy to read and relate to. It is a solid reminder that women who are doormats do not achieve happiness. She doesn't really mean "bitch", she really means self-confident, fun, empowered, and independent woman. This is not a book that will be going to Goodwill. I am lending this to my female friends as soon as possible(single and married). There so many women who become doormats not realizing that they are reinforcing the behavior in some way. They just get sad or angry but nothing changes. This book is FAR better than He's Just Not That Into You, which had no solutions, just makes you feel bad. Argov gives real scenarios and examples and how to deal with them. She tells you what to say, and what not to say. Also, many of these principles can be applied outside romantic relationships as well. She uses a quote by Donald Trump, pointing out that we should speak up when appropriate anywhere and gain respect by doing so. I thought of my boss and co-workers.

I am actually excited and motivated after reading this book to not put up with crap but to walk out when I have to. This book really solidifies that I need to work on my self-esteem (as do a lot of women). I think I will get a good book on that in order to reinforce what I learned in this book.Get more detail about Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman's Guide to Winning Her Man's Heart.
