After reading Man Magnet: How to Be the Best Woman You Can Be in Order to Get the Best Man, I went on the search for more good reads for women about men, love, sex and dating. I ran across this one and had to have it! So glad I took the plunge! It offers REAL advice, like the other book, and ways to be seen by men. Can't recommend this one enough. It's a keeper, along with "Man Magnet".

Doesn't quite hit it

After being told over and over I was wrong for wanting a committed relationship, and hearing about how I was supposed to trick or manipulate a guy into falling "in love" with me, I picked up this book.

I agree in large part with one of the basic premises of this book... That pressuring a man who is not ready for a commitment often ends up having the opposite effect. I disagree that women should hide her desire for a committed relationship or do anything manipulative whatsoever. Both quality men and women want a commitment and have a history of being able to make and keep long term relationships of all kinds. Find out up front what his personal and family opinions are about marriage. If there is any hesitation or reluctance about the value of marriage, keep moving. It's that simple.

Did not like the title

The advice was excellent, but it is not about being a bitch. I don't like the word or the concept. A bitch is mean and immoral and hurts people for the fun of it. Standing up for yourself and not being a pushover is not bitchy. The book is about self confidence and being realistic about men.

excellent book

The is an excellent book for every woman who wonders why her relationships with men are not working out. It's easy to understand and put to use. I'd also recommend to help your marriage I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

A MUST HAVE

Good book - I've passed it along to my friends. 2008-07-28
I really enjoyed this book. After reading it, I've passed it through my other single girlfriends. It's insightful and the humor style makes it digestible instead of offensive. It makes sense.

Amazingly insightful!!!!! 2008-07-24
I just finished reading this book and the last two pages gave me goose bumps!! I get it now. I realize that truly loving someone is not being the nice girl and giving them what you think they need, but giving them what they actually need and getting what you need in the process. I found this book to be funny, insightful, empowering and honest. I can't wait to read her next book!!!

What you need comes from YOU everything else is just a bonus.

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has ever had a broken heart or feels like they have been taken for granted.

This gem is worth its weight in gold 2008-07-17
I was first introduced to this book over a year ago, but was reluctant to follow its advice. Sure enough, my guy situation soon tanked, and then I started reading this book in earnest. Wow! What a valuable, valuable book. It almost feels a little unfair to me- like cheating- it works so well. I'd say I'm decent-looking and relatively put-together and intelligent, but by no means a superstar, and I have had more guys go crazy about me in the meantime than in the past five years.

I think the people who review this book negatively are in denial about how men really feel. But you know what? Fine, let them be in denial. That just means the women who recognize this book for its insight (and their lucky partners) will have even more power. To the "Cro-Magnon" commentator... maybe it's not pretty, but you know what? Men (and women) ARE still driven by certain primitive instincts and certain urges. We have not evolved past many very old-fashioned, traditional mating desires. Perhaps we've developed certain societal rules to deal with it, but that doesn't change our first gut reaction. As Sherry mentioned, it ISN'T fair that men are supposed to do the chasing, or that they often think the opposite when you perform a nice gesture too soon, or that they tell you one thing and mean another. But it isn't a fair world, and I'd rather learn to work it, and win, rather than complain about it endlessly but lose.

A must read for all Nice Girls. 2008-07-08
The book definitely changed my life for better. It not only IMPROVED my relationship with my partner but also it made me feel so confident and independent, or rather, it made me brave to feel that way. I was always afraid to say my opinion or protect my point of view. This vulnerability made me look weak and helpless. It was a turn off for my boyfriend and I didn't understand why. Someone said in their review that this book is for cave women, call me that, the book itself actually calls me one of those "nice girls" who are satisfied by satisfying someone else, it's true, that's who I always was, a nice girl. I had to buy a book to learn how to be a bitch. Please don't let the word "Bitch" scare you away or be judgmental. This word is too strong and at the same time it teaches you to be strong. I needed that. I was taken for granted and couldn't stand up for myself, not because I'm dumb or naive, but because I didn't know it's the right thing to do when it comes to men. I thought I need to be very agreeable. Now I changed so much. It's been a month since I read the book and every single day I made sure to follow the book's advices. It was hard at first and I had to reread page by page again and again. I felt like I was changing day by day and the change was for better. My relationship with my boyfriend became perfect, I swear! He shows his respect towards me now and I only appreciate it not more, I don't let him offend me. I found out one thing, that the same person can be very nice to one and very disrespectful to another and it all is up to you how you let people treat you. I recommend this book to all girls (guys, please, don't read this book ever, it's none of your business, save your time and read "how to be a perfect gentlemen" or "how to treat woman right"). Best book, better than "The rules" (sorry "The Rules", I used to like you best before I read this book).
