  <default_description>Do you feel like you are too nice?  &lt;P&gt;Sherry Argov's Why Men Love Bitches delivers a unique perspective as to why men are attracted to a strong woman who stands up for herself. With saucy detail on every page, this no-nonsense guide reveals why a strong woman is much more desirable than a &quot;yes woman&quot; who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:  &lt;P&gt;-Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?   &lt;P&gt;-Why do men take nice girls for granted?  &lt;P&gt;-Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?  &lt;P&gt;Full of much-needed advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, &quot;she says/he thinks&quot; tables, and the author's unique &quot;Attraction Principles,&quot; Why Men Love Bitches gives you bottom-line answers. It helps you know who you are, stand your ground, and relate to men on a whole new level. Once you've discovered the feisty attitude men find so magnetic, you'll not only increase the romantic chemistry in the relationship-you'll gain your man's love and respect with far less effort.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The fact is, you're not supposed to read a book like this, let alone like it. When this book came recommended to me from a few members of a woman's group I belonged to at the time, skeptical wouldn't begin to describe what I thought.  I mean, the title alone kind of wants to make you gag. Most men h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39960827">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I think about 15% percent of the advice given in this book is idiotic. In one of the examples, a wife put a red sock in with her husband's laundry to teach him a lesson about not handling his portion of the household duties. The husband was so upset about his pink underwear that he took over ALL the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51042866">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A friend gave me her copy of this book a few years ago, figuring it would soothe me after a breakup.  In truth, it just clarified something in my head; the fact that I'm not about to change who I am just to get a guy to like me.  Now, that wasn't the theme of the book by any means, but whatever.

When I started to read this book I came into work proclaiming I had found her bible she had never written. I loved this book back in my single days.

There were highlighted parts in my used copy. The fact that someone would highlight parts of a book such as this makes me wonder a little, but t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51784031">more...</a>]]></body>
