Rating: Summary: Be Feisty Review: Wow! If this author had more copies in the Barnes and Noble, she could have sold many copies, because when I asked for a copy of this book, from the front counter - my request started a ripple of dialogue, excitement, and desire to buy this book.Both men and women were intrigued. And while this book title is meant as a tongue-in-cheek message, the real message is in these 9 suggestions for how to stay an adult human being, while interacting with men: 1. Give it back to him 2. Stay fully in this moment 3. Put him in his place 4. Show him that you won't put up with his childish ways 5. Show him that your confidence means you know something that if he also knew what you know, his life would be better 6. Being spicy is sexy 7. Congruently show him what you will and will not tolerate 8. Your temper, that is, your strong conviction, shows him how to connect with you - be consistent 9. Being feisty means you are sexually stimulating Use these rules, not only in relationships, but also when confronting men, to communicate that you matter.
Rating: Summary: Gee, I read this 6 mos. ago in "Stop Getting Dumped!" Review: When I read this book I kept getting this deja-vu feeling like I'd read the book before - turns out I had. The whole dreamgirl idea was done much better (and seven or eight months earlier) by Lisa Daily in "Stop Getting Dumped!" which in my opinion is a much better read. The empowerment aspect of this book is good, and there are some humorous parts, but it just seemed to me like a less funny, far less interesting version of "Stop Getting Dumped!" which I totally loved. "Why men love", I'm not so crazy about. If you're a relationship book junkie, this is a reasonable pick to fill out your collection. If you're only buying one dating book this year, I wouldn't make it this one.
Rating: Summary: Best of the Best Review: It's rare that I write a review, but I was so impressed with this book I just had to. This one is a great companion to the The Rules, which I love, except for one aspect: it's really geared towards women in the 20s and 30s. MWLB is for a more mature woman (read 30s, 40s, 50s) who want the same effect as the Rules with a little less strategy.
Rating: Summary: This book is my new "Man Bible!!" Review: I am guilty of being the "Nice Girl." Too clingy, too nice, too giving to my own detriment. 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" and are fed up with the constant mud on your face, this is the book for you. It's funny and empowering. An all around great read!
Rating: Summary: at first i thought.... Review: at first i thought i don't even want to buy a book with this title. what if someone sees me reading it...but i quickly got over that after flipping through some of the pages and seeing some of the common mistakes i've made. as a black woman a lot of the advice she gives is some of the stuff i've heard from my mother (who's been married to my daddy for 30 yrs) but with so many sources (magazines, talks shows, friends, self help books, church, etc) telling you what to do to get a guy to act right it's just confusing. don't let the title fool you...this is a funny book that is dead on about how to get a guy to treat you the way you want to be treated through your own smart choices.
Rating: Summary: keeping the spark Review: As a man, I have always loved lively, fiesty women. It is important in any relationship to know how to stand your ground, how to maintain your boundaries and not be taken for granted. In my friends, I have seen many good relationships fall apart because one of the partners started taking the other for granted. Sometimes, to keep the spark alive, and keep the other person from falling asleep, you have to use a little Machiavellian strategy, which is where this book comes in. What I most enjoy about the book is how good-natured Sherry is, the tongue-in-cheek humor about the male-female relationship.
Rating: Summary: Power for Women Review: Comic relief for the War Between the Sexes. Sherry's book is a good-natured look at how to avoid some of the common pitfalls in love. She shows women how to deal with the "take her for granted once you have her" attitude men fall into, that kills so many otherwise great relationships.
Rating: Summary: Why weren't we told this before? Review: I thought this book was informative, insightful and yet humourous. In hindsight there's a lot of things that I would have done differently in my relationships if I had had access to this 'inside' information earlier. I think every female should keep one handy.
Rating: Summary: A Witty Wake-up Call Review: This is a must read book for all those women who find themselves being treated like yesterdays meatloaf. You know, you'll take it only if you can't have anything better, or you may just say forget it and chuck into the garbage. The author really hits home when she talks about the male appetite for a Bitchy Woman. It's true they do get more respect. I shared this book some friends of mine both male and female and I can't get it back. They keep asking me, "do you mind if I let my friend check it out?" So I fiqured out what everyone is getting for Christmas this year. It truely is an instruction manual to transform a doormat to dreamgirl. It's not always about looks. Attitude is why you see some women getting what they want while little Miss Nicey is home alone thinking "maybe if I bake these cookies just right..." As a man I say GO FOR IT LADIES! Check out the book and use the information to change your way of thinking. Heck, I'm even going to apply some of the techniques to my relationship. I hope they post this review, because I really, really enjoyed this book.
Rating: Summary: Every woman should read this book at least once Review: I got this book and read it in one day! It was that good! It is FULL of practical advise that works!If you are tired of being taken for granted by your boyfriend (as I was) and want to get that "upper hand " back- this is the way to do it! I am so glad I found this book- I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone! - this is the first time I have ever written a review- but I felt this strongly about this book- tell everyone you know about it!
