Summary: A Man's Perspective on this Book
Review: As a man who read this book, I have a new understanding of how and why my last girlfriend acted the way she did. She must have read this book!

I have to say, I chased after her, just like the book says a man will do if you follow the rules it describes. But, (and this is a big BUT), eventually, I got tired of chasing her. Eventually I came to the huge realization that I didn't want to live the rest of my life this way, under her thumb, with her making all the rules for our relationship.

Women have put up with men that act this way, and it drives you crazy, doesn't it? Don't you hate it when a guy doesn't call and acts like other things are more important than you are? This book could just as well have been written for men, and been titled, "Why Women Love Jerks."

As I read this book, I thought that if everyone, men and women alike, followed the rules contained in it, this world would be full of a lot of single people. Mainly because it's all about one person in the relationship (in this case, women) acting aloof, not chasing men, and not showing men that they're afraid to lose them. If both sexes acted this way, no one would get in a relationship because both would never chase the other. (In the hopes that the other one will first. It's not going to happen!)

All in all, this book seems to be written for women who have been hurt badly in the past and don't want to be hurt (or at least show that they're hurt) again. Anyone who has ever had the good fortune to have been in a GOOD relationship would never think of treating their mate like Sherry Argov suggests.

I gave this book 2 stars, because what's in it WILL work. But if you have to use "trickery" like this to get a man to chase you, you'll get a relationship to match. It's better to be honest with one another. If it doesn't work out, then move on until you find that NICE person who will treat you right, "games" or not!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: amazing, practical principles
Review: Some would say that this book is about "playing games" and such. In actuality, it is simply a insight into the mind of the man. The explanations of how men perceive women's actions and words made sense and made everything so clear. I'm glad someone had the courtesy to write this amazing tool that ALL women should read before they get frustrated by one more man.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: HOW TO LAND THE CHALLENGING ONES!
Review: Here's an interesting nuts & bolts dating book that people are going to be talking about a lot. Overall, this is a very impressive piece of work and probably the best of its kind (getting a man to fall in love with more respect and passion). For the woman looking for a more tactical approach to dating, this is your cup of tea.

"Why Men Love B!tches" does a great job of advising women on how to maintain more respect and dignity in their romantic relationships and gain the love of a man as a result. Her 100 Attraction Principles are extremely well thought out and offer the reader a great deal to chew on.

Not only does she have great principles, her book is loaded with interesting features like sample scenarios (The Spontaneous Guy Who Is Treating You Like a Backup vs. The Spontaneous Guy Who Adores You), "She says/He says" tables, and "The Nice Girl vs. The B!tch" comparisons.

My favorite principle of Sherry's is: Before sex a man isn't thinking clearly and a woman is thinking clearly. After sex, it reverses. The man is thinking clearly and the woman isn't.

Another good one is: Anytime a woman competes with another woman, she demeans herself.

And for good measure: Act like a prize and you'll turn him into a believer.

There are 97 more of these and all of them have something insightful to say regarding earning respect, maintaining dignity, being independent, gaining self-confidence, using humor effectively, the allure of feistiness, getting satisfying sex, creating a challenge, stirring up his desire, ending female neediness, getting rid of nagging, the effectiveness of action instead of words, and much, much more.

For "nice women" who have been treated as a doormat and don't know why, here's a book with virtually "all the answers." It is also written in a very humorous tone with examples from popular movies and personal stories of the author and her friends.

I also highly recommend "Why Men Love B!tches" for anyone who wants to recapture the passion and respect of the male partner who's gone romantically dormant.

The Bottom Line: This book gives the reader the "tactical edge" on many key love situations and is a fun read that women around the country are going to enjoy talking about. (Maybe even New York City's Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Amanda!)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The ULTIMATE dating book
Review: Well Women, this is it: the last stop. Once you read this book you will need nothing else (I read all 240 pgs. in 24 hours!) I was married for 14 years and flopping at dating. I had been doing everything the book said not to do. Within 72 hours I had my boyfriend asking me repeatedly if I still liked him. Not only was he instantly treating me better but he has now said he thinks we could be soul mates and he can't wait to see me again very soon (we don't live together.) I could have never ever accomplished this without the solid (and humorous) advice of the author. This book is well worth the investment (pay for next day shipping) if you are dating or looking to jump start your marriage again. The side benefit: self-empowerment. I feeling stronger within myself then ever before!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A guy's guide at its best
Review: This book is good for men to read. I think every guy should buy it for the following reasons:
1. There won't be any copies left for women
2. The content works great on women too. As a man, simply apply the same principles towards females and get the same respect from them towards you. In other words, the book backfires, so be careful, Mrs Argov.

-The one your mother warned you about.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No one's door mat
Review: This was a very good book, it reinforced what my jamaican mother and american paternal grandmother taught me when I was younger. Men respect women who not only respect themselves, but put themselves first. Sometimes when women enter a relationship they tend to put the man's needs ahead of their own and forget about what they need. When we overcompensate for men they take us for granted, and we're left feeling empty, unappreciated and used when they can't or won't do the same for us.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If I'd only read this book at 18...
Review: Don't be put off by the title! This book is priceless and should be in every high school library. I, like most grown women, have experienced almost every situation in this book and can state, unequivocably, that the advice in this book is absolutely on target! How much heartache and divorce could be prevented if all young girls were made to memorize this book before they venture forth in the world!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best books I've read
Review: Okay, I'm not a big reader and I couldn't put this book down! I will keep this book as a reference. I can see why men that review this book are upset. I have to say I don't agree with this book to the extent that it asks us to go to, but it will help give women the confidence they need to stand up for themselves and stop being used. It's made a big change in my life, right off the bat. Great book for all single women and even a few that have significant others/husbands.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I Loved It!!! Highly Recommended
Review: i thought this book is insightful knowledge to every woman and what every woman ought to know about dealing with men. some people hate to acknowledge this, but so what!!! i think women should start dealing with men on a more even playing level. b/c many times women tend to put the man and his feeling, interest, wants and desires ahead of her own. everything that's important to him always comes before herself and the sacrifice is never appreciated are acknowledge when you do. i like this book, it opened my eyes to a lot of things i was doing wrong. it made me feel better about myself, so no matter how the guy i'm involved with would take me and my feelings for granted. i finally began to think about how to make me feel better. some men would consider this book, a book that teaches women how to play games, but it's really not about playing games, it's about being a strong woman. not allowing yourself to be walked over by men you happen to love. it doesn't take away from loving that person, but it helps you to put the love you should feel for yourself in it's proper prospective, instead of placing it on the back burner. I loved it, i thought i was wonderful and it taught me a lot about standing on my own two feet.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Games
Review: This book only tells you how to play games, if you wanna play games, go ahead. If you're looking for something real, then save your money.
