About this ebook

Love and marriage, romance and intimacy...everybody wants it, but it seems only the select few get it. Never shy and always laugh-out-loud funny, Sherry Argov’s Why Men Marry Bitches is a sharp-witted manifesto that shows women how to transform a casual relationship into a committed one.

Dating can feel like a contact sport and modern mating rituals can be impossible to decode, with little consensus on the rules of engagement and both sides tired of the game. What’s an intelligent woman looking for a devoted relationship to do? Glad you asked…

With the grittiest of girlfriend-to-girlfriend confidence, Argov removes the kid gloves (knocking off your rose-colored glasses in the process) and explains why being extra nice won’t necessarily get you that wedding you’ve always dreamed of, and is more likely a sure path to disappointment. Going directly to the source in candid interviews, she shares an enlightening look into the psychology of the male mind.

Insightful, empowering and hysterical, this indispensable guide will reveal in honest detail:

*How do men manipulate a relationship to keep it casual?
*Do men deliberately push women’s emotional buttons?
*How can she convince him commitment was his idea?
*How can she invite a proposal without saying a word?

More than a self-help manual, this is a life skills handbook that both men and women can relate to, whether single, newly courting, recently separated or ready to embark on the next level of commitment in a current relationship. Why Men Marry Bitches will reveal how to set healthy boundaries, embrace your independence and take charge of your own happiness, so that you exude the kind of sexy confidence that will win his heart and get the love, respect, and loving relationship you deserve.

Ratings and reviews

This is merely a, "You go girl!" book designed to make women feel empowered and emotionally validated. The actual relationship advice is of poor quality. This book is designed for women by a woman, but selling books is a business not a charity. She's not telling you the truth about what men want; that would probably just hurt your feelings.This book is designed to make you think, "Yay! I'm all the ambiguous things she says men want! Go me!" And thus you've fallen into the trap and paid for her bad advice.

I was insecure, too nice, and did not see myself and the world through the lens Sherry Argov describes in the last chapter of the book. Sequel to "why men love bitches" this book reiterates a lot of the same principles. I highly recommend reading both, I am starting to change into a woman with a backbone, it may difficult to do but worth it in the end, for you both.

Funny but most importantly very insightful. It did make me rethink how some of my "good girl" behaviors are being perceived. There are definitely a few things I intend to experiment with. I wonder how many 2015 edits she would make give the fantastic new tech component of dating and relationships. Overall, I would def recommend it to my fellow "good girls."
