From Publishers Weekly
As in her previous book, Why Men Love Bitches, Argov does not use the word "bitch" in a pejorative way, but rather "to describe a strong woman who has her own identity and is secure with who she is." And while encouraging women to be strong, independent and inscrutable is sound advice, the motivation behind this advice-to keep his interest-makes for a headache-inspiring contradiction. Fortunately, Argov takes readers step-by-step through her process, including numerous "Relationship Principles" that keeps her concepts clear ("Relationship Principle 35: Men are intrigued by anything they do not completely control."). Though the generalizations Argov uses to describe her pre-bitch audience can at times be condescending, and her goals are more about acting-rather than believing-that you don't need a man to feel complete, the behavior she encourages is healthy and useful, even outside the realm of husband-hunting. Taken more as a Bitch's Guide to Life-the word "relationship," after all, doesn't necessarily imply romance-this is a solid self-help.

Customer Reviews

Worst book I ever bought!
This is a terrible book! It is boring and redundant! The author could say what she wanted in two pages and we could skip the book. Geez. Read book in 1/2 a day because it was so WEAK! Torturous! The book goes on and on about how to remain independent and not act like a doormat, great. How many way can one person say the same thing? Apparently 225 pages worth. Would rather take bath in ICE cubes than read anything else by this author. Save your money! SKIP this book!

Entertaining, But Don't Try This At Home, Kids!
A few girlfriends recommended this book to me. A lot of what the author writes does make sense; however, a woman shouldn't have to play a game just to "snag" a good man. It's OK to be a babe in total control of herself, but if you're not REALLY a babe in total control of yourself, what do you think is going to happen when the guy finds out you're a hoax? That you're an insecure mess?

Great book with good advice
Loved the book, really gives you some insight as to how men operate in relationships.
