More than a book review, treat this as a “summary” of the first few pages of the book.
“Bitch (noun): A woman who won’t bang her head against the wall obsessing over someone else’s opinion – be it a man or anyone else in her life. She understands that if someone does not approve of her, it’s just one person’s opinion; therefore, it’s of no real importance. She doesn’t try to live up to anyone else’s standards – only her own. Because of this, she relates to a man very differently.” (c) Sherry Argov
Here are few of the numerous characteristics of what men like in bitches:
- She maintains her independence.
- Men hate when women are too clingy; they suffocate.
- She is not needy; he starts to need her.
- She does NOT pursue him.
- Don’t make him the center of your world.
- Don’t change because of him; maintain who you are throughout the relationship.
- This shows that you have a character.
- She is mysterious.
- Be honest but you don’t reveal everything.
- Familiarity breeds contempt.
- Predictability breeds boredom.
- She leaves him wanting.

- Don’t make him think that he has 100% control over you.

- She maintains her appearance and health.
- Self-respect is reflected in how she maintains her physical appearance.
- Others opinions doesn’t matter as long as what she does makes her feel good.
Since I just started reading the book, this is all I have so far.
This book made me think about my past relationship(s) and made me realize how much I have compromised just to please someone else.
In just a short time, I have realized a lot and have learned a lot as well.
What do you think about the points mentioned above?
