Summary: Hilarious and Insightful!!
Review: I really liked this--and couldn't help cracking up. It was the kind of stuff you talk about with all your female friends late night on the phone. I even talk to my male friends about this stuff too. Not a dull page--and it really answers a lot of questions, too. Definitely worth it to buy this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing Book!
Review: If you've ever had trouble finding OR keeping a man, read this book! If you heed the author's advice, he'll be massaging your feet and moping about the attention you are getting from other men within a week. No joke. Five solid stars!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT READ!!!
Review: This book is excellent and has changed my outlook on relationships. It is easy to read, humorous and includes real life examples. I found out about this book through a friend and finished it in two days. I haven't been in many relationships and I often wondered why mine ended diasterously when I thought I was being a good woman to my man and doing all the right things. This book was an eye opener for me. We've all heard of "the rules", but Sherry Argrove is right on point in her book when she says it's not playing games, it's about taking control of your life and not allowing a man to have a 100 percent hold on you. THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR ANY NICE GIRL THAT IS TIRED OF BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best out there
Review: This book is great for helping women see their own value. I think the lesson here is less about what men want and more about what you want for yourself. I highly recommend this one for all women.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ATTENTION TOO TOO NICE WOMEN..THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU! -cont'd
Review: Please don't be insulted by the title! Ladies, it is not a book of playing games, it is a book to help all sistas maintain their dignity. You know the deal, lots of women have chased men for years and got now where. It it's time now to be a Babe In Total Control of Herself. You can be nice yet be a steel magnolia; you can Choose for yourself and not lose yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An easy to follow guide for women
Review: This book is easy to read, humorous, and straightforward. The advice is common sense, but often presents facts women may never have thought of. The advice is easy to follow and easy to remember as the author reviews the material and reviews the major precepts more than once. Read Sherry Argov's book for easy to follow advice that works.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: As A Man I Agree, And I Highly Recommend for Women
Review: I started by reading the amazon reviews and it seems as if all the men agree. The last female reviewer didn't agree--she really just doesn't get it.

The author really nailed it. Every man knows that the biggest power women have over men is sex and appealing to a man's ego is the way to get him to do anything you want. I thought the author's sexual advice was DEAD ON. I found myself, as a man, wondering how this author found out so many secrets about men.

It has nothing to do with a game. For men, it's about how to keep him curious. We're bored when a woman puts all the cards on the table.

I found the book to be honest, it's different from other books that sound like some kind of fairy tale. This book is for any woman who wants to deal with men in the real world--not men in their "wishful thinking world."

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Bluff your way to independence
Review: First of all, the book is, as all previous reviewers remarked, written with great wit and a sense of humor which is as charming as the author's pose in her photo on the back cover. The book is full of perceptive remarks which will ring true and valid for many a woman...BUT...the author seems to try to create a coctail between two things that don't mix, a message like that of "The Rules" along with some "woman's lib" consciousness of "dancing to your very own tune". As a result, the book is loaded with outrageous contradictions:

The first two chapters are uplifting and "empowering" telling women why they should play by their own rules...but then, by Chapters 3 and 4, the message deteriorates; in chapter 3, Argov talks about what she defines as "women's sexual powers" with words like " the candy store", and women "exercising that power" by giving "one jujube at a time" and following some "jujube installment plan"...(?!) Women are not seen as creatures with their very own desires, but just as "owners of that which men want" with the whole point being in instructing them in how to "trade it" better...how could that possibly be called "empowering"?..Isn't that the oldest trick in the book?


Then, in chapter 4, there is a further deterioration, where the "empowered woman" of the first two chapters, proud owner of THE candy store in the third, is asked to act like a "dumb fox", and the entire chapter is about how she must PRETEND to be something she is not, and to play a DIFFERENT set of tricks in order to caress man's "poor fragile ego" and make him feel on top, while she tries to get her way with sneaky tactics.....that stuff "empowering"?!.....

Then, the book moves on to the upbeat "dance to your tune" and "be your own woman" bit again...

Then, throughout the book, men are constantly portrayed in an unflattering light that you can't help but wonder "why the trouble?" The unmistakable impression is either of jerks who think they are smart and whom Argov is teaching us how to "dupe"...alternately that of "wolves in disguise" and this is some "101 de-wolfing course" for the little red riding hoods of the world... and, while "instructing" women how-to tricks for the "taming" of men, repeating that the taming process does not stop, there seems to be no belief whatsoever in any inherent goodness that could possibly exist in men, but that such goodness could only come as a result of women's skill at "moulding" them, with a bit of manipulation here, calculation there, sneaky games here, sexual blackmail there...etc..etc..

And while women are told to calculate and manipulate, they are simultaneously told to "define themselves from within" , and to "follow their inner calling" while at the self same time "making the right impression"..That is where the book falters...the two just don't go together, at least not in any sane, balanced individual, and any attempts to convince otherwise is a bluff! Maybe a witty and funny bluff like this book, but a BLUFF nontheless!

For women who need a recipee to ensnare a man at all costs, as long as these women feel "cool" with a relationship founded on never-ending manipulation, as long as these women have no problem pretending to be one person then a complete other at different stages of "the game", as long as they don't mind putting their wits and energy into such a feat on a ongoing basis, and living from the outside in, constantly looking at themselves, checking and calculating that they are making the right impression....if these women don't mind all that, well, this book may well be their manifesto.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: All Women should read this!
Review: I wish this book had been written while I was in High School; it would have saved me a lot of wasted years. I had just started a new relationship, and discoverd that I was making the same mistakes once again. Thanks to Sherry, I got on the right track, and things couldn't be better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A "Must Read" for anyone seeking an equitable relationship.
Review: Read this book for "self help" advice, read this book for a truly unique insight on dating, read it for fun, just read this book. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down.
