How to catch and keep a man (seriously)
Sherry Argov freely admits that she uses the word "bitch" as a tongue-in-cheek way to grab your attention. She describes a bitch as a woman who is confident, independent and self-reliant, traits that men find sexy, attractive and intriguing. Argov portrays "good girls" as available, overly nice, accommodating and needy - characteristics men find off-putting and boring. Had this book been written 20 years ago, it would have been cutting edge, but you've probably heard the core of Argov's advice before (much of it is reminiscent of asking why a man would want a cow if he could get milk for free), from your mother and grandmother. She's just wrapped it in new rhetoric with a cute flair. Although her basic premise - men like independent, confident women with an "edge" - rings true enough, it's barely enough to fill an entire book. Argov disguises this sleight of hand with clever writing, witty one-liners, scattered "attraction principles," humorous stories, relatable examples, large type and a lot of repetition. If you don't find the whole idea a little passé, you'll have a good time. getAbstract recommends that you read this book in snippets whenever you need a chuckle or a shot of self-confidence as you play the catch-and-keep-a-man game. Of course, real women don't play games - as Argov would be the first to tell you.

What an eye opener!!
This is the best book I have bought in a long time. I have just come out of a relationship where I completely lost my identity and self respect through being treated like a doormat. This book is all about not losing yourself when you meet a man, it's all so simple. Definitely a must buy for any women. if you don't want to be hurt again and want advice on how to hold your own then this is the book for you!! There are so many aspects of the book that I identified with and realised the hallmarks of a failing relationship. Don't wait two and a half years to realise when a man just simply is not worth it! Had I read this book two and a half years ago, i would've made some smarter dream girl choices!!

You've GOT TO BUY THIS
What can I say except this and Why Men Marry Bitches are the PERFECT books whether you are single, dating or further down the line. Argov writes with wit and total insight and from the first couple of pages you can see where you (the nice girl) goes awry and from the onset you can see by having this new insight and dealing with a blokey in this new way, how much of a difference it makes to a relationship.
If you read these Sherry, please do one for married/co-habitating couples!
