Book Description
Do you feel like you are too nice?
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 "yes woman" who routinely sacrifices herself. The author provides compelling answers to the tough questions women often ask:
-Why are men so romantic in the beginning and why do they change?
-Why do men take nice girls for granted?
-Why does a man respect a woman when she stands up for herself?
Full of much-needed advice, hilarious real-life relationship scenarios, "she says/he thinks" tables, and the author's unique "Attraction Principles," 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.

So there you have it! .......2007-10-15
During a conversation, a friend of mine told me about how her long time best-friend was having "dating" disasters! We both came to the conclusion that perhaps a dating book may help out! So we purchased this book and I decided to read it first to ensure we would not "insult or hurt" her feelings... and... This book made me laugh (to the point of tears at times), kept my attention (I could not put it down) and offered sound advice (confirmed by male friends)! It was obvious the research was well documented because I selected numerous males (both friends and co-workers) and suggested a topic of: how they would respond OR what they expected, to a scenario this book gave advice about and received a 100% correct response. One guy even made the comment that HE likes to be the LION and go after the woman he is interested in...IF she is too nice, too available and esp too needy OR if she chases him, HUGE turn-off! Basically he is looking for a B*@&#!!! So there you have it! We are keeping our fingers crossed that she enjoys this book as much as we did and honestly, I would read it again just for the humor!!
VERY GOOD!!!!.......2007-10-03
This book was funny and very true. Bottom line-when you treat men like crap, they treat you better. I don't think its for everyone though, some people are just too nice and probally wont be able to handle some of the advice that the author gives. This isn't a bible, just a guide and a very good guide at that.
Men vs. Women?.......2007-10-03
I bought this book a short while after getting out of an abusive relationship, thinking it would help me hold my own in any future relationships so the pattern of abuse wouldn't continue. This idea, however, backfired. What I found myself doing while reading this book was getting more and more angry at men.
I understand that women do need to stand up for themselves in all areas of life. If anyone understands this, it's me. I don't, however, believe that it's a good idea to get embroiled in the battle of the sexes. I'd like to believe that not all men are bad, and that I can be happy in a future relationship without having to resort to any tricks or manipulation.
While this book has some good advice (i.e., go out instead of waiting by the phone for him to call) I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone who has any resentment towards the opposite sex. There are some great books out there which are more healing, and less damaging. Try anything by Kathryn Alice or Kathy Freston, for example. I also recommend "Make Every Man Want You" by Marie Forleo.
Good luck!
A very thought-provoking and helpful book.......2007-09-18
I just finished reading this book, and am in the process of reading her other book, "Why Men Marry Bitches".
I have to say that initially, like some other reviewers here, I was reluctant to read the book due to the title and the simple fact that I don't have much respect for so-called "girl guides". I agree that the title does a disservice to the book, although after having read it, I understand what the author means when she uses the word "bitch". I was afraid that this would be a book about being aggressive and demanding, but that is not the case at all. I am also an independent woman who is emotionally mature, but I must confess I have behaved too nicely many a time. If you read this book, please understand that it is meant to be humorous. Don't follow everything blindly (especially some of the jokey and outrageous advice). Use your own thinking. Like some people here, I don't think you should serve your date popcorn on the first date. But this doesn't 'mean that her advice isn't sound; she exaggerates of course, but what she means is, please don't bend over backwards for someone you barely know. I read some reviews here who claim that this book is about playing games, or that it says things that are too obvious, or that it teaches women to be abrasive. If you actually read the book you will see that she insists that a "bitch" is a woman who is nice, polite and gracious. She never, ever advises bitching and complaining; in fact she devotes a whole chapter to precisely why these tactics never work for women. Some negative reviewers insist that the book tells you to be someone else, and that you should be honest and open about what you want in a relationship. I completely agree with the latter; however, the book tells you to do the same thing. It shows you how to communicate with men on their level, without being too emotional; how to make them listen to you and how to get your point accross, and I repeat, NOT through bitching and complaining, but by presenting strong, logical arguments in a calm and rational manner. Surely this can only promote good communication?
I can understand some viewers' hesitation about the "tactics" that she describes, like boosting a man's ego from time to time. I used to think, why should I boost anyone's ego? If he puts up a shelf and the damn shelf is crooked, why should I praise him? Or better yet, I'll do everything myself. The truth is, you need to praise and acknowledge his effort. Women fail to do this and then we wonder why "there are no real men left in the world". The truth is, for a man to show his generosity, you need to let him do it. Men have sensitive egos (they may deny it but we all know it's true). You put him down once or twice, he'll give up trying and you'll be putting those shelves up yourself for the rest of your life. If that's what you want, fine. But normally it's not, so you start complaining that he never does anything for you. This is how the vicious circle starts. After having read the book, I understand this better. So what if a shelf isn't perfect. You can still thank him for the effort and be tactful about it. Just don't criticize him when he's feeling all proud and manly. Don't criticize him in front of other people. It's basic consideration and common sense, of course. We women like being given presents and flowers, and being paid compliments. Men also like being appreciated. This is only logical. If you are having one of those "ugly" days, the man who truly loves you will say something encouraging, like "you look beautful, and you are always beautiful to me". He will sense your vulnerability and show his support. You do the same for him. Both are white lies; you don't always look beatiful, and he doesn't always succeed in home improvement. But you want him to keep trying, and you encourage and support him. I don't see how this is could be detrimental to any relationship.
Finally, upon having read this book (and her second book which I most highly recommend), I feel a newfound appreciation for men. We women always puzzle over the things men do and often feel like men just don't get it. Well, the truth is, they do get it. They observe you and draw their own conclusions. They will test you to see your reactions to different situations, just as you will test them. You may call it playing games, or dislike it, but no matter what you think, this is normal behavior. We all test each other to a certain extent, consciously or unconsciously, depending on our individual insecurities and preferences. If you fail to acknowledge this simple fact, you fail to acknowledge reality.
I think that this book is not your typical "relationship" book. It doesn't teach you how to "catch" a man, or win him. It teaches you how being a self-sufficient, independent, gracious and considerate person will help you attract the right man and more importantly, will keep him interested and focused on your relationship. Please read this book and you will see that the author doesn't condone games; what she does is help women understand men better and learn to communicate with them better. If becoming a woman worthy of respect (your own and other people's) means you must change yourself, then of course you must, otherwise you will never grow as a person. If you don't respect yourself firstly and foremostly, how can you expect other people to respect you? You would think that this is self-evident, but obviously, looking at the world today, it's not. Sherry Argov's book was written to change that.
MUST HAVE!.......2007-09-12
Its every womans must have bible! Hide it under your mattress...not necessarily a coffee table friendly book unless its girls night. This book has saved all of my future relationships! Best kept secret since He's just not that into you. Loved every detail of the book and her sense of humor keeps you reading all throughout the night!

Otro libro de autoayuda.......2007-07-30
Por qué los hombres aman a las ca... se inscribe en la nueva honda de libros de autoayuda con títulos que usan palabrotas para ser irreverentes, llamar la atención y vender más... cosa que al parecer ¡funciona! El texto sostiene las mismas máximas provenientes de antes de Cristo sobre la autoestima, la automotivación, el autocontrol, y la independencia, que recordarlas nunca está de más. Para algunos esto es patológicamente difícil, para otros es intuitivamente fácil y para los del medio es un proceso de aprendizaje y reprogramación. La premisa de la autora es el convertirse en una "Ca... renovada". Ca... según Sherry Argov, proviene de la palabra en inglés B*T*H, que ella traduce de las siglas en inglés al simpático "Belleza en absoluto control de sí misma" - Me gusta, ¡se lo compro!- eso sí ojo, insiste mucho en la amabilidad, educación, femineidad y dulzura como un atributos de la perra repotenciada. En sus páginas hay 100 "Principios de Atracción" que fungen de receta para que una mujer se relacione con un hombre "satisfactoriamente". Sin embargo es contradictorio que el libro se revela contra las recetas de revistas femeninas (prepárale una cena, vístete sexy, ect) y a su vez provee de otras con el mismo objetivo: tener a un macho al lado - aunque de verdad le cedo justamente, que esa no es la finalidad que postula el libro como objeto de felicidad de una mujer-. Se encuentra cierto tono conciliador entre los preceptos de la revolución femenina y algunos principios básicos de sumisión fingida para lograr justo "lo que una quiere". Si uno se pone dicotómico se encontrará perdido y desorientado entre los principios ya que algunos tienden a la pura autosatisfación y otros a la satisfacción del hombre - hace énfasis en lo distintos que son los hombres de las mujeres al estilo "Los hombres son de..."-, por eso este tipo de libros tan "precisos" deben ser leídos desde cierta madurez personal que le permita a uno distinguir la guasa, la exageración y el relleno de los verdaderos puntos a considerar poner en práctica. Los ejemplos que se exponen, pudieran ser graciosos - yo carezco de ciertos elementos de sentido del humor -no los encuentro útiles en absoluto porque no pasan de anécdotas. Podría aplicarse esta receta en distintos hombres y cada cual reaccionará distinto incluso de las experiencias citadas. Es curioso que el libro puede interpretado también en la vía opuesta "Por qué las mujeres aman a los cabrones", porque cuál sea el género, una persona segura de sí misma atrae y es el agente activo en una relación, y las personas inseguras son atraídas y son el agente pasivo... la cosa se pone interesante cuando la persona insegura cambia su actitud a segura de sí misma. En resumen... yo no compraría un libro con un título así, pero me alegro que me lo hayan regalado y haberlo leído en contra de mis prejuicios porque lo encontré ligero y en algunos puntos interesante.Por que los hombres aman a las cabronas / Why Men Love Bitches: De tapete a chica de ensueno / From Doormat to Dreamgirl - A Woman's Guide to Holding her Own in a Relationship
Book Description
Act I: Avoid conflict at all costs. Even when someone signs you up for something you really don't want to do. Act II: Try to hold things together, even when your life is spinning out of control. Act III: (You'll have to read the book to learn how it all plays out.)
Playwright Leah Townsend doesn't think of herself as a doormat. In fact, her life is pretty good. There's the gorgeous and dependable Edward (even if he is a little dull), and her challenging career (even if the last two plays were flops). The trouble is, Leah's feeling restless these days. The new play isn't going well. Her agent is handing out ultimatums. And her boyfriend Edward, who insists Leah "doesn't handle conflict well," has the nerve to enroll her in a conflict-management class full of people she's sure are her polar opposites, including a conservative talk-radio host named Cinco Dublin who thrives on the very thing Leah wants to avoid--making waves. Can a conflict-challenged playwright ever learn to stand her ground...even if life doesn't come in three predictable acts?

Please wipe your feet first.......2007-07-02
Leah Townsend is a struggling playwright who's trying to regain the momentum from the one hit play she had. She's in a relationship with Dr. Edward Crowse, a physics professor who makes all her decisions for her. Her family always assumes she is the perfect child because she does everything they tell her too. Her best friend thinks that Leah will support her no matter what the situation or what time. Leah has been ok with this until one day she decides to change. This leads to Edward enrolling her into an anger management class. Humiliated and reluctant, Leah goes expecting to blend in. However she soon discovers that being a doormat is not what she really wants to be in life.
This book was really difficult to read at first. I really didn't like the way that Leah was being treated by everyone. I couldn't stand that she wouldn't stand up to anybody in her family and friends and how she would just let them walk all over her. I really hated her boyfriend Edward. That guy was such a jerk especially after enrolling her in the anger management class. I mean what type of person does that just because someone tries out something new or disagrees with you? But then as I kept reading, I liked how Leah was changing. She learned to finally deal and resolve conflict instead of just always giving in. I liked how she knew that this could radically change her life and the relationships she was in. She changed her life completely and finally became happy instead of just settling for mediocrity. The anger management classes were fun to read, some of the characters I would have had problems keeping my temper with! I applauded to her decision with Edward. It was funny though to see how he tried to change for her or at least his thinking of what "change" really was. I enjoyed her relationship with Cinco, it was just what she needed. The title of this book really catches your eye as does the cover. It's a great chick lit book and it's one I think a lot of people should read. Don't be afraid to change.
The Prodigal daughter's sister.......2007-03-30
Leah Townsend has trapped herself into a corner of her own predictability and passiveness. It's no wonder that one of the characters she is writing about says what she only wishes she had the courage to say. Add a predictable/boring boyfriend, a conflict resolution class, a best friend who is making bad choices, a prodigal sister who has finally come home, a play to write and you have one messed up slice of life.
Gutteridge has written a very realistic character, full of flaws. She avoids conflict, lies, falls back on commitments, etc. But in the end finds the peace that she has been looking for. An enjoyable story, one that takes off from the start. I particularly enjoyed the humor of the writing process and talking to her characters. It's exactly what happens!
Beyond the chic lit surface, there is depth to this story as well. It is based somewhat on the parable of the prodigal son, where Leah is the son that stayed at home as the "good child." Characters develop as the story moves on and you come to like them better, or maybe most of the characters. There is also a bit irony in who is the worst off at avoidance issues - Leah or Edward. And look who signed up who for the conflict resolution class, and how! Talk about not wanting to face conflict. The author also throws in character foils and parallel plots. It's just full of things to discover, if you're looking. If not, it's still a great story.
So Real.......2007-02-03
Most books I read, even if I like them, are pretty predictable. By page 10 you already know basically what the ending is going to bring about. Well, this is one book that isn't predictable. I had no idea what was going to happen, and I couldn't have guessed the ending until almost the end. And if a good book is supposed to stir your emotions and make you feel something, then this was a great book. I thought a LOT about this book after I finished it.
The heroine is playwright Leah Townsend. And I absolutely hated her boyfriend. He wasn't SO bad, but then, he was! And when he signed her up for a conflict management support group, I felt her humiliation. But he lived to regret his mistake, as you will see if you read the book. This is a book that makes you examine your own choices and attitudes, and I like that in a book. I highly recommend it.
Hilarious & poignant story of self-discovery..........2006-11-12
Leah Townsend is a struggling playwright who skyrocketed to instant fame with the surprise success of her first play, The Twilight T-Zone. Since then, her writing -- and her relationship with her ever-dependable boyfriend, Edward -- has gone downhill. She can't seem to recapture the "magic" that made her first play a success, and as far the relationship goes, well -- suddenly Leah finds herself wanting more out of life (she's just not sure exactly what "more" means -- and if "more" involves conflict, well forget about it). When Edward interprets her desire for change as an inability to cope with conflict, Leah finds herself enrolled in a conflict management class with Cinco Dublin, a man who's everything she's not...and to whom she finds herself increasingly attracted.
Much like Tamara Leigh's Stealing Adda, Gutteridge provides her readers with a fascinating (and often humorous) glimpse into the life and career of a writer -- dealing with agents, writer's block, and self doubt -- and of course there's the inevitable romantic entanglement. There's even hilarious input from Jodie Bellarusa, the main character in Leah's work-in-progress. Leah's voice is fresh, funny, and oh-so-honest. In Leah, Gutteridge has crafted an incredibly hilarious, relatable, very real heroine. Leah's transformation from a pushover and a doormat to outspoken self-assurance is both incredibly entertaining and inspiring. This is the perfect summer read -- light and engrossing, with characters so real they'll stay with you long after you close the novel. Highly recommended.
Hillarious and So True!.......2006-10-24
Laugh out loud funny, Rene Gutteridge's new book, My Life as a Doormat (In Three Acts), will keep you amused and cheering for playwright Leah Townsend and the crazy participants in her conflict management class. When Leah's boyfriend, Edward, enrolls her in the class without her consent, Leah has no choice but to attend--she wouldn't want to create a conflict. An obstacle course of hilarious challenges, an agent handing out ultimatums, a boyfriend who likes things status quo, and an intriguing talk-radio host who wants to upend the stodgy stability of her doormat life make this a fast read. This inventive comedy is filled with page-turning quirks and twists. For example, a fictional main character from the current play Leah is writing interjects her "thoughts" about the author's daily decisions--a delight for anyone wanting to "read" a writer's mind. The entertaining conflicts stack like a row of dominos ready to topple, and it's all Leah can do to keep from engaging in the very thing the guy she's most interested in loves the best--cheering on the waves that could sweep her heart overboard if she doesn't learn to stand her ground.

This book gives an insightful perspective on how we judge ourselves and how we can change from the inside out. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to take charge and redefine how they see themselves and to get inspired!
A Great Book - Fun and Inspiring.......2004-08-01
This book is very informative and entertaining. You are reading and laughing and all of a sudden you realize "hey I can do this, I don't have to be a doormat" I really enjoyed it and it has made me look at things in a different light, I will now take care of myself more and not feel guilty about it!
For Women who are too busy.......2004-07-29
This is an easy to read book with many very helpful tips that can contribute to helping you to change your self perception and raise your self esteem.The author is also blessed with a wonderful sense of humor that makes the book entertaining, while you are learning at the same time. It's a great book for yourself and to give to your girlfriends as gifts. What most of us busy, multi-tasking women need is something easy to read, but beneficial, thought provoking and inspriational at the same time, because we don't have enough time to sit still and read often. This small and helpful book is in that category.
Divahood Here I come!.......2004-07-28
I loved the readability of this book. It was just the right length and its as if the author was talking just to me. I felt she knew exactly how I was feeling.
I have read other self-help and spiritual type books which included exercises. They always seem to be overwhelming. The exercises included in this book were judiciously chosen and this enhances the book's value to those of us who want to improve.
I have recommended the book to one person who wanted to start her own business and another who wanted to move on in her job.
This book is also a great reinforcer to those of us who have taken Merci Miglino's seminar. It kept up my energy when I left the Doormat to Diva workshop to make the changes I wanted in my life.
I've been Diva-tized!.......2004-07-26

Good Start.......2005-02-23
I congratulate this new author and her first novel. Although the book was short, its writing was unique and enjoyable. Being a high schooler myself, I could relate to the narrator, and I liked the fact that it was written by someone around the same age as both me and the narrator. It made the book seem more realistic. I look forward to more writings in the future.
Predictable.......2005-01-20
This book contributes to the reason I usually stay clear of "young adult" novels. The book is too predictable and the story has been written one hundred times before, and much better. Although, the author is a teenager and still needs time to grow and develop her writing skills. In the future, she just might come out with something original and worthwhile but right now, if I were you, I'd skip.
Doormat it is.......2004-12-16
I was very disappointed in this book. As a librarian I look for realistic reads for the teens. It has some realistic elements, but wraps up way to quickly to be real. I found it very choppy and hard to follow in some areas. Time spent better elsewhere.
Fast-paced, realistic, and satisfying.......2004-09-18
"Can you help me?" These are the four little words that Jaime's best friend Melissa uses to her sum up Jaime's role in their relationship. Jaime lives in "nowhere, California," where she and Melissa have been best friends forever --- which means that Jaime has been doing Melissa's bidding forever. Now is no different, except that Melissa's predicament is a total disaster: she believes she's pregnant.
Guess who hails a taxi and heads for Walgreen's to brave the (male, middle-aged) clerk while purchasing a pregnancy test? Certainly not Melissa. Jaime offers her friend advice when Melissa insists upon it. Yet, the next thing you know, Melissa is angry with Jaime and giving her the silent treatment. Jaime simply does not know what to do.
Even when Jaime's crush asks her to pair up with him for a drama class callback audition, Jaime can't work up any joy; she feels lonely and miserable. She offers to help Melissa, but how? Melissa continues to either ignore all of Jaime's advice or be infuriated by it. In the meantime, Jaime is so distracted by Melissa's plight that she forgets to be self-conscious at the audition and scores a starring role.
Complications ensue when a male classmate discovers Melissa's condition and insists on lending a hand. Will the third person of the team be a help or a hindrance? And will Jaime ever find out who the father of Melissa's baby is? Time goes by without Melissa being able to make any decision. Jaime feels more and more panicked. Why did she say that she'd save her best friend? Will she always be a doormat? And, speaking of indecision, why can't Jaime figure out what she wants to do with her life?
DOORMAT is a quick read, partly due to the short, fast-moving chapters, but mostly because it's one of those "don't disturb me NOW, I've got to find out what happens" books. The conclusion of DOORMAT is realistic yet satisfying. The author's note says that fifteen-year-old Kelly McWilliams is working on her next novel. I can hardly wait!
