Books : Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl - A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship .

- PREPARE TO FIGHT THEM OFF WITH A STICK!!
I read this book on hol last summer and I cudn't put it down. I found its advice indispensible. I put what it said into action and found guys were chasing me and doing all the texting and ringing. Some people suggest the book is all about chasing and playing pointless games, but if you look from an evolutionary point of view, many men feel the need to chase a potential female partner; and it is all about the chase and without that they lose interest. Obviously all men are not like this but I have certainly had more success in meeting great guys following the advice of the book. I absolutley recommend this book to every woman out there, single or not, everyone can learn something from this!

- Games, Games, Games
This book does what every piece of bad chick lit does - it promises one thing, then completely contradicts itself by giving us another. It says 'Why men like women who stand up for themselves' but then doesn't really tell you to stand up for yourself. Instead, it tells you to run around in circles playing games; making the man chase you. This serves only to make us end up with guys willing to chase, which are usually not the ones we want chasing us to begin with. Even if something isn't bothering you or if things are going along well, you should play a game by making it seem like it is bothering you or things aren't going well, to keep the guy on his toes and make him still want you. Yuck! This isn't about becoming a strong woman; it's about becoming weak, manipulative pain. This book will make you become exactly what you don't want to be - the woman guys love to sleep with and dump the next day. For some fantastic insight into how to be in the kind of relationship you want to be in and lots of insight into exactly how a guy thinks and interprets our actions, read "God Is a Woman: Dating Disasters." It is excellent. Incidentally, it is also by a comedian and much funnier than this so-called 'hilarious' book, which this isn't.
Rating: - Read this book as if your life depended on it - it does!!!
This book is a must for all women and should be compulsory at the age of 18. This book has changed my life. I didn't think i was a doormat. I thought i was in total control, independant and handling my relationships well. I have always been the one that walked so thought i was fine, just not found the right person yet. After reading this book i realised as soon as i get involved i become "too nice" i will do anything to please a man and put my own life to one side to make them happy. I didn't like asking a man for help ie in my eye's admitting weakness...equality and all that. I was getting it all wrong.
This book will not only improve your relationships with men it will improve your relationships with family, friends and work colleagues. Even at work i was too nice. Everybody liked me but nobody respected me! I have changed so much. I've lent the book to my sister and my mum and its changed their lives too. I will never go back to being that little girl who wanted to be ever so nice and liked. I have never been so popular as i am now.
Read and enjoy. Its very amusing, witty and informative.
Rating: - Awesome, funny, and downright true!
This book delivers home truths in a funny and direct way. It will wake you up to the nice-girl things you've done in the past and makes sure you won't do them again in the future!
If you've read 'The Rules' this is even better as it's bang up to date and taking into account that the world and women have changed since 1950 even if the fact that men need to be treated with caution hasn't.
I've bought several copies for friends of mine as well as for myself and although written in a humorous, light-hearted style, the book is also very poignant and taking notice will have an ultimately, very positive effect on your life, friendships, and relationships. I have numerous male friends who I have discussed the book at length with and they all agree that women being too nice is not a turn on - and they agree avidly with a lot of the principles in this book.
People often say that in order to be successful in love you need to "be yourself". I say that's nonsense. You need to "PLEASE YOURSELF" exactly as this books tells you to!

- not so impressed
Reading this book made me feel quite guilty about behaviours I had exhibited in the past, I would not recommend it for someone who is really down after a failed relationship, it may make you feel worse. It seems to favour the man all the time, forgetting that the woman has a right to have her desires. I preferred "Love Tactics, how to win the one you want" which I found less accusatory with better advice. It does make some valid points however.
