F*CK Him! - Nice Girls Always Finish Single

Rate this book
The MANipulator Manual:
Keep Your Man Interested and Begging for More Without Playing Games

Let me start off by explaining I am in no way talking about the sexual act. F*ck him in this case is not physical, it’s mental.

So many women get in trouble in their love lives, and 99.9 percent of that trouble could have been avoided if they’d said, “Well, f*ck him!” a bit more often. Too many women are way too nice and compliant to their men, especially when these men don’t deserve that kind of treatment.

And yet, every woman I’ve ever met tries to not be needy or wear her heart on her sleeve. She simply wants to protect her feelings. Nevertheless, most women I’ve coached have had men seem very interested only to disappear suddenly. These women are left standing in the dark. Once the guy vanishes, they often find out it’s easier to get the President of the United States on the phone than the man who seemingly really liked them...just not enough to stick around.

This should stop.

I, as a dating coach and author of books for women who want to get men, cannot take it anymore. You deserve better. This is not your fault. It’s his! He needs to learn to be much more transparent and upfront. That said, we both know most men won’t change. We can lead a horse to water, but we can’t make it drink. Or can we? What if there was a way to change a guy’s behavior? What if you could get into his head and take over the driver’s wheel? What if you could make him do more of the things that you appreciate and need and less of the bad behaviors you dislike? At first, this might seem impossible. Nevertheless, I’m sure you’ve already met women who are good at manipulating their men.

Enter the high-value woman. You know her. You’ve seen her. She’s the woman who always has great men drooling over her. It’s the woman you see getting all the attention. You often wonder, “How does she do it? What do they see in her? What does she know that I don’t?”

You might have even complained to your girlfriends that men just don’t seem to notice what a catch you are. Your girlfriends may have even said, “He doesn’t know what he’s missing.” What if you could make him see it?

When you look at these high-value women who get their way with men, it might have surprised you that their looks don’t seem to matter. The high-value woman can be great looking, average looking, or even bad looking. It doesn’t matter. She knows her way around men. She knows how to mentally f*ck them.

Are you ready to implement her strategies?

You’ll see behavior you’ve never seen from him. He’ll start to put in an effort that makes you feel like you’re a queen because to him, you are. At first, it will be strange. If you’ve never truly been in control of a man, it might feel like riding a horse for the first time. But soon, it will make you feel all tingly inside.

I’m not kidding.

There’s nothing more powerful than being in a relationship with a guy and having him do exactly what you want while he thinks it was his idea. (This is important, as you’ll see. He needs to think he is the one in the driver’s seat, even though you actually are.)

This book is not about becoming someone you’re not or turning your boyfriend into a spineless manslave. It’s about your empowerment, about taking back what’s yours. No man should ever be able to play games with you, to take you for granted, to treat you even a tiny bit less than you deserve.

Fuck Him: Nice Girls Always Finish Single
This book is a guide on what the author (who is a man) suggest we women should and should not be doing to be “high value” women to get the guy and keep the guy.

Where to start with this book? Some of it I agreed with. Some of it I didn’t. My best friend and I even had a discussion regarding one scenario and his overall thoughts. I’ll include these too. So, I’ll hop right into some of these points I highlighted. Overall what he wants us to keep in mind is to ignore bad behavior and sparingly reward good behavior. At first, I had my reservations about reading this book (and any) book like this because I knew I’d see things I’d done countless times that were gonna sting but I proceeded anyway guards up.

* So, it starts right off the bat with a touchy subject “The Vanishing Man”. You know the one that perpetrates like he’s soooo interested and then after a little, he just vanishes off the face of the earth. You're left there wondering what the hell did I do. He goes on to live his damn life. You're stuck with an ish load of damage that it might take years to shake and if you do you have trust issues. And this ladies and gentleman is where I’m at. Until it all just turns to INTENSE ANGER! And you just really don’t want to have anything to do with men and their bs! So apparently men don’t like women who look for the “one”, (even if he tells her she’s “the one” we should never tell him this back). Nor do they like being impressed (we should let them impress us). We shouldn’t seek his approval or try to please him. So basically, we should go into it with indifference. I AGREE WITH THIS! Because I know from personal experience the more indifference you show a person the more it draws them in like a magnet that won’t let loose. This isn’t just exclusive to men either.

*He says NEVER TRUST YOUR EMOTIONS! I AGREE WITH THIS! Emotions can fuck you up every single time. Or is that just me?

*Then it talks about how they believe they are “helping us” by not communicating with us what’s wrong with them. And how they don’t have the balls to tell us what’s really on their minds. I AGREE WITH THIS TOO! Going back to my own personal situation this guy told me communication when I asked him what could keep a marriage. He’d been married. Yet, I just scratch my head as to why it’s so hard for them to just be open. And apparently, this is a male thing because I’ve asked one of the most trustworthy men I know and he told me that it’s hard for men to be honest with their emotions because they're taught from an early age that it’s feminine to be emotional so they shut down. And it’s so biological and so ingrained that’s just how it is. But how is it easier to just leave? That’s the COWARDS way out! This is where it goes sour for me and I DON’T AGREE.

*He gives this example of a woman named Jamie (who we might as well call Tiffany). She meets a great guy They bond. After 3 months he takes her to a nice restaurant and proposes. He says she never nagged. She never pushed. She “let him call the shots”. After four weeks in he calls her, tells her things are going to fast, calls off the wedding, and breaks up with her. He gives some BS about how we should be the ones steering the relationship at all times, and not handing over our hearts too easily. While yes this is true, nowhere does he fault THE MAN! And this is where I get angry. Does he write a book dedicated to men to stop being so damn FLAKEY and being man enough to KEEP THEIR WORD? I do NOT see what this lady did wrong. Yes, it went quick and maybe she did let her heart get away from her a little bit. That happens. But don’t place the blame on the woman who ONLY wanted to make this man a good wife and make it easy. Any man with any damn SENSE would be happy to marry this woman who didn’t nag and bitch. But she’s the one at fault because she didn’t call the shots? So, in other words, THEY shouldn’t (or aren’t gonna change) but we should. MMM!

*My best friend said. “Instead of being good men and treating women with respect etc. We have yet another guide that women have to live by. Women already have it hard enough in this world, and this country already has enough archaic rules regarding gender roles. Now we have men writing books telling women “hey since men will always be trash, follow these additional rules if you want to get one” I COULD NOT HAVE WORDED THAT BETTER MY SELF! TY BESTIE!

*But unfortunately, if men acted like my best friend we wouldn’t need a book like this. We could all just be who the hell we are and not have to worry about these “tactics” (coughs games). Aren’t we ALL (ok well not all) “high valued” enough to be not cheated on, or lied to, or ghosted by sorry ass men?

*I DO AGREE! You should have a life. It talks about not making yourself too available all the time. You should NEVER drop your interest completely because of him. This is just PATHETIC! I’ve read some teen books lately where the girl has done just that. And it just makes me shake my head. THE INTEREST will probably be there when he ISNT. LONG after he’s gone. Why would you ever stop doing what you love because of a man?

*It talks about OXYTOXINS, which I wasn’t aware of. Apparently, not just touches can set them off. If you find the right guy sexual words and conversations can also set them off as well. So beware of that. He doesn’t even *have* to be in your presence for these to activate. They can activate off promises if he’s a good enough liar.

*Then there’s the point that if you give a man what he thinks he wants (in a woman), he’ll eventually get *bored* with it. Because he didn’t work for it. UMM! I DO NOT agree. Ok, so he gives the example of comparing a job where you’re making a lot of money where you hardly do anything to a job where you make money and are challenged. I guess it depends on the person. I would NOT get bored with an easy job that I hardly did anything and made lots of money! I HAD an easy job that I hardly did anything and made a lot of money. Then they put me in a more challenging one and guess what? So this is a HALF TRUTH. Was the other one boring? YES! It was repetitious but not everyone wants a challenge. Just like relationships. After sooooo many challenging relationships I want an easy one. That’s why me and my best friend work so well. We might be “boring” but who the hell wants drama (aka challenges). If you give me what I want I PROMISE YOU (everything I want) I WILL NEVER EVER GET BORED with the man or the money. Then I'll tell you what I learned from the men I know. This is what he didn't say. If you give a man what he wants "PHYSICALLY" in a woman it won't be enough (cause let's be honest what they think they want they find out down the line isn't necessarily what they need). They don't get "bored" but they stray because they were given just exactly what they wanted.

*One of the tactics I felt like sharing with my girlfriend who’s married. Its if you want a man to do something don’t nag or bitch. Do the complete opposite. She’s always saying her husband goes out to this bar and leaves her and the daughter at home. The book says actually encourage him to do this and he’ll think it’s his idea to stay home more. Actually, there are some good strategies like this one. ALWAYS DO THE OPPOSITE! If you like him act like you don’t. If he gets disinterest don’t pursue. Lose interest. Stuff I should have done OVER and OVER and OVER again, but I didn’t.

*Some of it contradicts itself. One of the things he teaches us is to hold off on sex, which I think we’ve all heard. Yet it’s ok to tease? Umm, I’m not hanging my underwear on the bathroom door for him to get a “hint” of... First of all, how is that not an encouragement to try to get in your underwear and make him hornier? That’s like an invitation. I think that’s just the author’s “hormones” talking. And that I think about it, this is also DANGEROUS! You could get yourself raped or killed or beaten up "teasing" the wrong man. So NO!

* Neither do I agree with how he dictates what we should wear. Where something that shows the size of your breasts and the shape but doesn’t show too much cleavage (sighing). LISTEN! Wear what makes YOU feel good! I’m not saying where shorts that have half your behind on display but if you wanna wear a shirt that shows your cleavage (and you have cleavage) that is NOT an INVITATION to whatever freaky things men have going on in their heads. It’s not saying come get it! He’s not telling men don’t wear pants that are too sexy and tight we might get the wrong idea.

*He talked about how men will “test you”. And they don’t even have to be your man to do this. I have a male friend that tries to test me all the time with inappropriate stuff. He asks and asks and asks and asks. So many women these days fall for this trap on social media. They’ll show these men any little damn thing they wanna see. Not ya girl tho. And I can tell you that my friend probably does respect the fact that unlike the weak-minded chicks on FB I’m not the one. (Even though he doesn’t say it) But be prepared for a battle. They might want you to resist, but they’ll try like hell till you cave. DON’T FALL FOR THIS!

*Then my male friend has also given me the you have to compete with other women BS for the attention of a guy. (Sighing). Maybe I'm just old school but here's how I feel about that. And this is also a sad truth. Men (even good ones) have soooo many options these days they can afford to leave one and be on to the next one without a thought. It's so easy for them and convenient it's not even funny all the options available. So we always have to be more (fill in the blank) attractive, interesting, sexual, than the next one. Then when we do (if we do) land one we have to "keep competing" so they won't get what we got. Does that sound tiring to anyone else or is it just me? If you do choose me, you choose me out the bunch for a reason. If I can't just relax and be secure in the knowledge your mine. That doesn't mean I get lazy and don't put in any effort with you once I do have you. I won't do that. But this whole idea of "you have to compete" I just don't have the time or energy for. Again why should I (we) have to? Shouldn't it be enough if he knows what he likes, goes after it, and stays his behind put? But I guess that's wishful thinking and too much ideal. With the right man, you shouldn't even have to compete period. END OF STORY!

*I will say that this book got in my head. I was considering something and then I thought oh HELLL NOO! I’m not doing that! I've made probably about over half the mistakes in this book, but over the years my skin got thick and I learned. I might have my weak moments, but I rather have those the rest of my life that be one of those women that go running back after the guy that was too damn stupid to realize he had one of the good ones and dipped. GOOD LUCK FINDING ANOTHER ME! So I guess that makes me "high value". Because there's a part in the book where he says the "high value" women rather be alone the rest of her life than chase after a man. And she might start feeling like she needs a man and a baby (been guilty of that a lonely night or two) but it's just the oxytocin talking. To them, I say "BE QUIET!"!! You don't know what the hell you're talking about. When they start nagging at me to do dumb stuff like contacting ex's that don't even need to be given the time of day from me.

Bottom line this book, I could go on and on about debating each point but as my best friend told me be who you are ladies. Take these points and use them but at the end of the day there’s nothing wrong with not being the kind of women *he* considers “low value”. And how dare he refer to us as “low value” because we expect these men to live up to a higher standard. Nice people (women and men) do get the man (and lady) sometimes. Although I know it seems far and in between. My best friend reminded me sometimes nice people don't always finish single. I have yet to see this in my own life but I trust his word. And it’s a shame we have to use these tactics period. The tactics are good ones, yet why aren’t we teaching our men how to be better?

I'm sure you read the title of this one and thought "What?!" Well, let me explain. This was a freebie off Kindle, and I thought it was going to be more satirical than the book actually was. As a chronic singleton, I thought this may be entertaining, and maybe there would be something slightly cerebral in there that I might be able to use, but alas...

So I start reading, and first and foremost, this book is urging mental mind f*ckery, not physical f*ckery. That's um, nice. Personally, I don't think mind games are very constructive, but hey, let's here this guy out.

Nox insists that men like having their mind messed around with, and that mental manipulation is something they unknowingly are drawn to. He also goes through many points about how when you are passive and not controlling, it's the reason why you are single. Literally the whole damn book is about how to play mental games, how to control a man with suggestives and not demands, and how to manipulate them so their ego doesn't get bruised and the women still gets what she wants.

Is anyone else rolling their eyes yet?

It was a short read (130 pages), so I did read the whole thing, but not even a quarter of the way through, I was sick of hearing how a woman can go from low-value to a high-value in a mans eyes by acting and speaking a certain way. And to be fair, the author even stated in the beginning, "You can expect me to step on your toes here and there throughout this book." I kept thinking, this HAS to be satire. This guy HAS to be joking. He thinks telling women how to act so that they can be in a relationship, or keep their man satisfied by mindf*cking them, is worthy of 130 pages?

Needless to say, I don't recommend the singletons give this a read. 100% disclosure, I did not take to the streets with this dating advice to test it out, so maybe it works for some, but for me, I have seen plenty of strong relationships built on respect and honesty, and I'd rather emulate that than what I've read per Nox. I understand that probably puts me in his "nice girl, low value" category, but guess what? To that I say, f<3ck him.

I really enjoyed this 📚! It had many valid points and makes a woman realize the empowerment/control of how a man treats her. Sometimes just telling him to f@ck off and walking away, is your only option. On the other hand, it makes him realize that you can drop in at a drop of a dime if he doesn't treat you with the respect you deserve.
Awesome book!

This book was entertaining enough, at least until I reached 50% of it. By then I just needed it to end I was so tired of the voice of the author. I understand trying to sell your book, but there is really nothing new here. It really felt like reading a compilation of common knowledge and advice of every youtuber specialized in dating. I would have been more at ease with the book if it had actually considered men normal human beings, not 3years old at best, and rabid dogs at worst. I would also have appreciated it if it hadn't started by blatantly insulting similar books in the market, or wasn't so openly agressive and demeaning against the so called " nice girls".

F*ck this book. I hated it. Amazing how he starts with saying how much he loves women and then compares them to toys 🤡
You won't be attracting "high-value" men with his advice, only kids, which is a comparison he literally constantly made. If childish and non-communicative behaviour is the way to keep ya man, Imma stay a happy single bruv.

Everyone loves to share their opinions about the dating scene and this is one of them. The author does provide good advice to consider but if I thought about it too much it made me a little sad and hopeless for the future state of relationships. What ever happened to 'boy meets girl at a country dance and they fall in love'. Why does dating need to be so strategic and an overall mind f*ck now. I would also be interested in how this advice will hold up in a post-pandemic world where mental health challenges may complicate and further challenge relationship building.

Don't waste your money.

I thought the book was OK as I as leafing through it but when I read page 13 I couldn't believe what I was reading. He was criticizing all women authors that have written self help books for women. He said they couldn't write about what men think just by interviewing them. Sherry Argov's books saved my marriage. If you really want a book every woman should own buy her books!

Read this on a whim and then had a lot of thoughts about it.
The initial takeaways I got from this book is that I far enjoy being alone more than working against my natural instincts to snag a man, and that I wish I was into women. Haha.

Ok, so the main lesson laid out here seems correct, and no doubt most of the strategies taught are effective in some way. Had I read it earlier, I’d be married by now to a great guy. Maybe. It's VERY bare-bones.
The gist is this. Men, especially the "high value" ones, are biologically wired to cheat on you (they can't help it, it's in their DNA to hunt and win, so you need all sorts of strategies to make him feel like you are valuable and a challenge). It's nothing we haven't heard before from these types of man-snagging manuals. A woman must be her own best friend, never put a man above her, and never make him feel like he “has” her. I don't disagree with that. My main problem is that this is a guide written by a clearly emotionally-avoidant man, doling out advice on how to hold onto other avoidantly-attached men in need of therapy.

If you're still single, the odds are stacked against you. According to psychologist Logan Ury of How to not Die Alone, about 50% of men AND women are avoidantly-attached, and some 10% are securely attached (and already taken). That leaves the majority of avoidants in the dating pool. This book isn’t about that though, or for people to go figure out how to fix themselves. It’s mostly about how you can get one of these avoidant men to stay with you. On top of that it's more of an Intro to the Male Mind and about an inch deep, which is exactly how complicated men are, at least according to the author. He frequently compares them to golden retrievers and 3 year old toddlers getting their toy taken away. He also admits to having trust issues, so his insights seem a bit sus, as are the vignettes of real-life client scenarios (he is a dating coach), which are extremely problematic. I wonder how qualified he really is to write this book, or to even be a coach, but one could argue that all we need is some insight into the average male mind from a man’s perspective.

So if you believe you’re not going to be part of the minority of women who meet their soulmate, the 1% of elusive unicorn men who are emotionally stable, healthily attached, no trauma, undamaged, smart/funny and are great husband/dad material... this book of tactics is for you. We can ask, “Why is it on the woman AGAIN to solve relationship problems?” but the real doozy is that the author says to do less rather than more to get what we want. So take it or leave it and be alone, "for this is how men are." I did not rate this book 1 star, because I must admit that a lot of its points aligned with my own dating experiences. It WAS upsetting to realize how accurate it was, regardless of attachment theory. Having dated both “high value” and “low value” men over the course of a decade, they are all biologically wired the same way. One ex of mine - high earner, good looking, but most importantly, very self aware and transparent - told me he was quite simple; the more he felt like a woman was out of his grasp and harder to get, the more interested he was. Looks only matter at first. It’s all about her attitude and “queen” mentality. He was on the extreme side of this. Another ex bf who had a secure attachment style, and who was loving and kind at first, treated me 10x better when I paid less attention to him (not on purpose, but when I was on the verge of breaking up with him). I had stopped cooking, stopped texting him back for full days at a time. Depressing? It’s reality! And some of it is common sense. You can take anyone for granted if they always make themselves available to you. If you don't, it can simply be a consequence of being together for so long. But to be in a healthy relationship, both people need to communicate properly and behave like adults. If you need to play mind games (stroke his ego) to lure your husband away from his mistress back to you, maybe that's not a man you want. Yeah, that's one of the examples the author uses. Icky.

This review got longer than necessary because I’m extremely interested in relationship dynamics and the psychological differences between men and women. It’s more interesting than the new Dune movie. I’ve started reading books on the subject, because this stuff takes studying and work, and we’re not taught in school or by our parents on how to do it.

Why Men Love B*tches is a different side of the same coin, written by a woman.

In the middle of reading How to Not Die Alone. This one is GREAT, and should be a must-read for everyone. It does not, however, tell you how the male mind is biologically wired + how-to's in specific scenarios like this book does.

The Course of Love is a look at a young couple’s life from first love to having kids and the ups and downs of “love” and the reality of what it means.

Texts he Can’t Ignore was another easy quick read that probably isn't serious enough to be on this list, but I found it useful, and no doubt many women will too.

Attached, and Sex at Dawn are next on my list. I'm throwing in a wide range of books so I can get a good scope of insight from relationship experts, gurus, and psychologists. I don’t believe that any one single book can fully teach you how to navigate relationships in this modern era, but it's been interesting to figure out what sort of info overlaps in all these books.

This is very true. Read, learn, implement, repeat. Read again when you're starting to lose your way with a man. I wish I'd known and understood these principles years ago.

I read this book 2 years ago. It has a lot of vulgar words that I didn’t care for. I skipped several parts but the biggest thing I got from this was the attitude F him! I was able to leave a 2 year relationship that was truly messing me up mentally and now I’m engaged to a great guy. Every time he acts in a manner I do not like I am quick to think F him. This has helped me have a relationship where my man steps up quickly because he knows I won’t nag, I won’t complain, I’ll just leave.

This attitude minimizes issues because the unserious people get cut off quick and the serious men step up fast. Of course also knowing your own worth, staying celibate and having your own life helps. A celibate woman is a clear minded woman that can detach from a bad relationship quickly. With men, ladies please say less and let your actions do the talking. Do not talk about what you want in a man, your bad relationships etc.. just pay attention to his behaviors. Let him figure you out, let him work for you. Men love it! I also don’t nag with small habits that I do not like. For example my fiancé is always late but instead of complaining I became even later than him. Now he’s quick to hurry us and get ready on time without me saying anything. This book works

I'm on the fence about this book. I swinged between "what the fuck is he saying" to "this is fucking genius". TBH I feel like all the advice should be taken with a grain of salt and some of the advice might seem obvious, but sometimes reading certain examples and passages I found myself thinking that some of my friends really could have used that advice.

I suggest reading it just for the sake of it (it's extremely fluent and easily readable) and to get some general common sense (and maybe something more) that many people lack.
I suggest this book particularly to those who think that "they only attract jerks" or to those that think they need to find "the one" and find him/her in any other person.

One thing I can really commend this book on is its highlighting how love shouldn't be a priority or a desperate need, more something that can improve your life, not something your life has to depend on

i recommend this book to the women who want to understand how a man’s brain works, which is quite different from how a woman’s brain does. they both see relationships in a different way and even though it is written by a man, it is obvious that he has put a lot of love and care for it. he never blamed women for the things that they’d do that made relationships worsen. on the contrary, it is written in a way that empowers women and encourages them to become the best version of themselves and therefore never allow a man that isn’t worthy of her, waste neither her energy nor her value.
in conclusion, it has amazing advice and it isn’t written in a complicated vocabulary. it is also worth mentioning that it is not boring at all and it is short paced so def recommend if you’re interested in how relationships work

WOW

This book is the real deal! I'm not one for reading books on relationship advice or anything like that but I came across this book a little while after I ended a relationship and started a journey of self love, worth and respect. This book pushed me even further into that journey. There were so many topics the author spoke about that made me look back into my relationship and see what I did wrong and what he did. It really was an eye opener. I also love the fact that the author is a man. I always love to hear about relationships advice from a stable man (lol) since they know what they want and to get a real good look into the male's perspective. Not bashing women who write books like this but I feel more comfortable hearing it out from a man. This book helped me embrace who I am and my value.

BTW I could've finished this book in a day but I wanted to take my time with it.

My initial thoughts while reading this were along the lines of "Here we go, yet another book teaching women to manipulate men...", "How depressing."and "Oh god, I can't believe women are really expected to treat men like 3-year-olds. If that's the case then I'd rather be single forever.". But... My dating experience has taught me that this is really the way it works. Actually, it works like pretty much like this even in friendships... with both genders! So why not apply the advice? In the end, it's all about dealing with human nature in a realistic way.

I wasn't able to finish this book because it wasn't a priority read. I'd just bought Kindle Unlimited subscription, and this seemed like the best available book to read then. Towards the end, it turned monotonous and I shelved it.

Nevertheless, I did go through 75% of it, and it was fun! The relationship tips the author suggested actually made sense. This is the interesting and crisp version of Atomic Attraction, another detailed book about relationships my best friend highly endorses.

In both the books, the bottom line seems to circle three major ideas:

1. Maintain the power balance in relationships.
2. Reciprocate the other person's behavior.
3. Retain your individuality.

This presents you as a "high value" person and makes you appealing to the other person. It also makes you radiate confidence and self-sufficiency. All these qualities automatically make you appear desirable and the lack of them, needy.

Don't worry. This is no mumbo-jumbo. It's just how the combination of science and human psychology works.

For anyone interested in the science and psychology of relationships explained in layman's language, F*CK Him! - Nice Girls Always Finish Single is your handbook. Those interested in details and technicalities can pick Christopher Canwell's Atomic Attraction.

Interesting read.

I’ll be the first to say I’m not exactly a fan of men telling women how to act in order to attract a man. However, I enjoyed reading this book. Even though I found it a little confusing because I felt like he would contradict himself at times. Overall though, the author made some valid points, and helped me understand a different perspective when it comes to dealing with men.

There are so many nice girls in world, but why are they single even if they’re dating?!

I wish I had read this book decades ago and I’m sure I wouldn’t have wasted my time on dating losers.
I’m 43, attractive enough, smart and really nice. So nice that I just go along with what the guys wanted, and all those relationships failed. There’s really nothing groundbreaking about the book, but it’s a very light read and a good reminder that you should take care of yourself first and not put men or romantic relationships as your first priority. Easy to say, so hard to do.

Anyone wanna play a drinking game where we take a shot every time the author writes “high value woman”?

This book basically tells you to play head games but not to think of them as head games. Alllllll of the advice in this book is alllllll things most women have already been told their entire lives when it comes to dating. To sum it up: be too busy, be more important than him, ignore him and make him chase. According to every dating book ever written, this is all it takes to land a man. What I would like is a good book that really goes into HOW you can get the upper hand on your emotions and control your urges to reach out to him first. How to have emotional control to keep the lovey-dovey feelings from taking over and remaining a detached and independent woman.
