Description
Contending that some women are "too nice," comedian and radio show host Sherry Argov has written Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl-A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship. "I'm not recommending that a woman have an abrasive disposition," Argov writes, "The woman I'm describing is kind yet strong. She doesn't give up her life, and she won't chase a man." Her sassy book is filled with scenarios and advice aimed at making women subtly stronger and self-empowered. Argov's principles, which range from the farfetched to the downright absurd, include "If you give him a feeling of power, he'll want to protect you and he'll want to give you the world" and "A little distance combined with the appearance of self-control makes him nervous that he may be losing you." The book, which has already been featured on The View and The O'Reilly Factor, should make waves with its controversial view of relationships.

Excellent, excellent read. Also very funny.
I bought this book for all my friends. Excellent, excellent read. I like how she focuses on self worth and confidence, and its a rare find to find book that help women have more self worth. Why its attractive to men is a bonus but the emphasis is on self love...first.
This book is "worth every penny". It's for anyone who has ever been in a relationship, anyone who's looking to get into a new relationship, or even for those sisters IN a relationship. It tells you how to be the nice interesting bitch that can keep life fresh and new, and can keep him and you interested in the relationship. It shows the difference between compromising and being a doormat. It is such a fun read, laugh out loud moments, and just plain and simple excellent advise that every girl should be given. I bought this for myself (and a friend who was going through a hard time). This is such a classic.
It shows you how to go from being a doormat to a dream girl.
"From Doormat to Dreamgirl-A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship"
This is the funniest and most helpful book I have ever read. It is an advice book on getting the right man to see your worth and treat you properly. Despite the title, it isn't about being a Bitch, rather being an assertive self assured woman who doesn't let anyone stomp all over her - without being a nag.
I bought it years ago in my single days and found every bit of advice totally useful and true. I have lent it to at least 10 girlfriends and they all agree this book rocks.
Author Sherry Argov's witty common sense advice will have you laughing out loud. There are so many useful tips in this book. It changed my worldview of relationships. Simple things like not cooking a full blown gourmet meal too early in the relationship as it teaches the man to see you as his mother rather than his lover. Argov suggests you hold back your famous apple pie until he's earned it.
Her latest book Why Men Marry Bitches promises to be a page turner too though I haven't read it yet.
I highly recommend this book to anyone regardless of whether you are in a relationship or not as the advice is always relevant.
My Mother in Law was recently over for the weekend and spotted this book in my library and decided to read it for the afternoon. Understand, I have dog-eared, highlighted and underlined many sections in this book. I was mortified at first about what she would think based on the title, "Um, why is my Daughter in Law trying to be a Bitch with my son?"
Thankfully she thought it was an awesome book and said that was the kind of advice she had growing up and that all women should read it. She loved it!
