Summary: This book saved me!!!
Review: This book saved me from crossing the line AGAIN! I always start out good in relationships (6 months) and then I become clingy and wonder why the guys run. I now have an understanding of how they think, I have to continue to be hunted less I become boring and predictable. I highly recommend this book, I read it in 2 days and thankfully my boyfriend was away while I devoured it. It has been working like a charm!!!! THANK YOU!
I am waiting on the next book....

Summary: The empowerment part is good
Review: I'm a guy, and I read this book 5 times. I wholeheartedly agree with the parts where the author encourages women to be strong, be proud, have a job, not be a nag, respect herself and not let herself be stepped on. The parts I don't agree with are where Sherry seems to think that men don't read her book, men are totally clueless, stupid, emotional, sports playing, car loving beer guzzlers. The "Dumb like a Fox" chapter where Sherry suggests that a woman play dumb and suck up to a guy's ego to manipulate a guy is an insult to any intelligent woman. The more highly evolved man does read her book, and more than once too!So, if you ladies want to try to manipulate us, know that we too read these books and can counter your schemes. So, if you still want to try to manipulate us, come on down, AND BRING IT ON!!!!!

Summary: Good inspiration but don't follow it to the letter
Review: This book has great advice but it is to be taken with a grain of salt. I'm an attractive and intelligent woman who has no trouble meeting men or getting dates. The problem was, when I liked a man I would turn my world upside down to accomodate him and his schedule because I missed him and I wanted to see him. This made me seem needy and then I would get dumped. I'm in the process of trying to fix this but it is just that, a process. The best part of this book is that it explains that your time and affection is just as valuable as his and you should be equals in the relationship. Some of the tricks the author suggests are unrealistic and over the top, but watered down provide useful insight. It's human nature to devalue something that comes to easily to us. As much as I hate to admit it, and as hard as it is to do when you really like someone, playing a little hard to get is useful. People are attracted to confidence and this book will provide just that.

Summary: I'm a man and I found it to have good advice about women!
Review: I bought this book because I was skimming through it at a bookstore to see how much truth there was in it. I found that a lot of the information in there is every bit as helpful to men as it is women. With the exception of the chapter about having a pink slip, amongst a few other things, the advice in here is good for men on how to be attractive to women. For women, the book is also great. The advice in there is, as hard as it may be for me to admit, a good way for a woman to find a quality man. The only reason why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it tells the woman to be TOO MUCH of a challenge. There is a difference between not wanting a man and not needing one, and Sherry should have made known the differnce between the two. If a woman shows no interest in a man (or vice versa), he will eventually find someone who shows interest. So while it's good to encourage not being clingy to someone, the point needs to be made that the person you're with has to know that they are desired by you. Other than that it's a great book and I encourage everyone (male or female) to read it if they want a good relationship.

Summary: This book rocks!!!
Review: This book rocks!! It completely changed the way I look at dating and men in general. It is not disrepectful to men in any way and it totally honest about what men want and what they are looking for. The author spoke to men about love and dating and relationships and got the information in her book right from the "horses mouth". This is book is great for single as well as married women. If you only read one more book about dating make it this one. I am a mental health counselor and I have recommended this book to all of my female clients, married or single. It is a book you will read more than once, I promise you.

Summary: Would YOU want to be treated this way?
Review: I was amused and both disgusted by this book. It did NOT work with my boyfriend of 2 yrs...in fact, he picked up immediately that things had subtly changed, and said, "I can see through these games you're playing, so please stop it, because I don't appreciate it." And no, he's never had another girlfriend in his life, so no one else would have treated him like this. My mother had initially let me borrow it after she read it, and she's been happily married over 20 yrs...and she was not thrilled with the overall message of the book. She said, "If you have to play these games with anyone of the opposite gender, you shouldn't be with them." It's true. With the exception of gently reminding people what you've done for them when they pick what you've done apart, most of these techniques just seemed too abusive to me for everyday use. Life isn't a corny teen flick where this stuff works -- if it was, I'd be living in a house worth $800,000, have a hot next door neighbor exactly my age, and my biggest problem would be the next time my nails were going to be done. However, this is not the case -- cut the drama and find some real problems in life to fix.

Summary: When all else fails, try this book....
Review: I recommend reading this book just because in my experience of dating, it is a not fun dating after 30. I have found that men do play these games and they know that women in the 30-40 age group are looking for not just fun in a relationship, but also some stability and family life. It seems that if you are nice to them that you are "needy" and therefore look for the woman that is not so "nice". I don't want to be this way completely, but I am after getting my heartbroken and being told the "you are beautiful and such a nice person, you will have no problem finding someone." I have everything I thought a man would want in a woman (minus the family trust fund)and I enjoy being very giving, however the book makes a very good point of having men earn this wonderful character in women. You don't have to be this way for the rest of your life (you are really protecting your heart and feelings, also learning there is life without men involved), but it is a good way to know if the man you are involved with is really serious with you. If he is not, it doesn't sting so bad because of learning to not be dependant on his company. I do also agree with the reader who said that "he got tired of chasing". This book does give good insight and helpful advice. I'm understanding about being a friend to a man and not his servant, groupie or mother. Good luck to you!

Summary: Great book, you got to read it twice
Review: I have never finished reading a book before in my life. I get bored half way but not with this book. It got my attention all the way to the end. It is a great book and it did change my life and the way I think of men. Also it changed the way I deal with my friends, for some reasons my friends have more respect for me now and they want to be around me more often.
I was in a horrible relationship for the longest time and I did not know what is going on but once I read this book it all made sense to me.
Sherry argove is a brilliant writer, I enjoyed her writing very much and I can't wait to read her future books.
Trust me, if I read a book twice then it must be worth it! Thanks Sherry!

Summary: What a complete joke
Review: Being a man, I can tell you from personal experience that this is exactly NOT the way you should behave if you are looking for a sensitive and caring man. Do onto others as you would have them do unto you. I've dated several women who were like this and dropped them very quickly. This book is absolutely ludicrous.

Summary: Great advice for women of any age
Review: Sherry Argov offers invaluable advice about how to maintain your dignity and self esteem in relationships with men. I wish I had read her book 10 years ago! Simple phrases and ideas like, "Maintain your financial independence," "Men don't respond to words, they respond to no contact" "It is your attitude about yourself that a man will adopt" are fleshed out in a no-nonsense, logical format. It confirmed some of my notions about men. But more important, I learned a lot of information I wish I had known all my life. The "Rules" is enough to get started on, but this book explains exactly why being "too nice" does not work. The book will challenge some of your notions about men, and change the rest of them. I highly recommend it.
