 How to catch and keep a man (seriously) May 2, 2008

Sherry Argov freely admits that she uses the word "bitch" as a tongue-in-cheek way to grab your attention. She describes a bitch as a woman who is confident, independent and self-reliant, traits that men find sexy, attractive and intriguing. Argov portrays "good girls" as available, overly nice, accommodating and needy - characteristics men find off-putting and boring. Had this book been written 20 years ago, it would have been cutting edge, but you've probably heard the core of Argov's advice before (much of it is reminiscent of asking why a man would want a cow if he could get milk for free), from your mother and grandmother. She's just wrapped it in new rhetoric with a cute flair. Although her basic premise - men like independent, confident women with an "edge" - rings true enough, it's barely enough to fill an entire book. Argov disguises this sleight of hand with clever writing, witty one-liners, scattered "attraction principles," humorous stories, relatable examples, large type and a lot of repetition. If you don't find the whole idea a little passé, you'll have a good time. getAbstract recommends that you read this book in snippets whenever you need a chuckle or a shot of self-confidence as you play the catch-and-keep-a-man game. Of course, real women don't play games - as Argov would be the first to tell you.
 What an eye opener!! April 30, 2008

This is the best book I have bought in a long time. I have just come out of a relationship where I completely lost my identity and self respect through being treated like a doormat. This book is all about not losing yourself when you meet a man, it's all so simple. Definitely a must buy for any women. if you don't want to be hurt again and want advice on how to hold your own then this is the book for you!! There are so many aspects of the book that I identified with and realised the hallmarks of a failing relationship. Don't wait two and a half years to realise when a man just simply is not worth it! Had I read this book two and a half years ago, i would've made some smarter dream girl choices!!
You've GOT TO BUY THIS March 14, 2008

What can I say except this and Why Men Marry Bitches are the PERFECT books whether you are single, dating or further down the line. Argov writes with wit and total insight and from the first couple of pages you can see where you (the nice girl) goes awry and from the onset you can see by having this new insight and dealing with a blokey in this new way, how much of a difference it makes to a relationship.
If you read these Sherry, please do one for married/co-habitating couples!

I am in love with this book and strongly recommend it to every woman. You might single, dating, living with a partner or married. You might be happy or you could be going through some difficult times. This will lift your spirits, raise your self-esteem (and your eyebrows) and make you mighty powerful in the short space of time that it takes to read a few pages.
I am a successful manager of a good company who produces results and deals with VERY difficult and demanding people every day of her life very successfully. I drive a nice car, live in a beautiful home (which I own half of) and have letters after my name. I am not dumb. But for some reason I have been totally unsuccessful in my love life. My previous partner left and my relationship with my partner has taken a turn for the worst recently. It felt like we were nearing the end of our journey together. I really didn't want that. I care about him and our relationship, the home we have built together and the time and effort we have put in and didn't want to loose it over the petty squabbles we had been having of late.
When my mum said `maybe you are just one of those people that aren't meant to have a successful relationship' I realised this was time for some drastic action! I blame the media of today, films, etc. for giving us that `forever after' perspective that someone will love us for who we are and that when you have found `the one' everything will fall into place and they will love and cherish you forever. Ha ha! Let's face this head on... we are in the 21st century ladies and if you think what happens in the movies happens in real life (or maybe, like me, you hope that one day it might just turn out like that) we are all going to end up sorely disappointed. Over the years men and women and the roles that they live by have changed and it's time we jumped on board and moved with the times!
Don't get me wrong, I know that there will not be any revelations over night in my current relationship, but I feel more empowered than I have in a long time and feel more confident in how to take the relationship forward in a constructive way that will work for both of us in the long run. I have sat all afternoon reading the book (which I cannot put down) nodding in recognition of all the mistakes I have been making and realising how I have tried to put us back together by doing the exact opposite of what would be constructive and overcompensating for his laziness and lack of respect for me.
I have now thought long and hard about the things I need to change and the steps to take in doing so and when I get home tonight things are going to change and if they don't I now have the confidence and the foresight to show him the door!

I personally find the author`s English is quite dull, but that is not the reason why I do not like the book. It feels like she just wants to make it `100` principles despite they are all actually very similar. I forgot from where, but the best reationship advice I had ever read was to say that `You just can not MAKE a man loves you, he either does, or doesn`t`. I guess if you understand that, it is not really necessary to purchase this book.
