Before I get down to this, I have to admit that the book recommendations from my brother @ebingo have turned out to be some of my best reads so far. I should listen to him more often I guess.
This book by Sherry is somewhat a sequel to her first book titled - Why Men Love Bitches. I have NOT read it, same reason why I was reluctant to read this one at first, but now, I am HOOKED!
I am a strong believer in the relevance of self-help books when they relate to business or personal development or business relationships. What I have never paid any attention to is self-help for romantic relationships. I found them to be kind of desperate and would much rather indulge myself in the hopeless romantic thrills from Nora Roberts.
Disclaimer - I am not ready for marriage (well, I don't think I am) and my reason for reading this book has nothing to do with a hidden need, don't, for a second, think I'm desperate. But if you still think I'm desperate after reading this, well...
My first reservation towards reading this book had to be the use of the word 'BITCH'. No, I'm not a goody-two-shoes, I just had a problem with the author referring to the "perfect woman" with a word used to refer to women I consider twats.
However, haven gotten to the second to the last chapter, I have to admit that the use of the word Bitch, is very much appropriate. And these ladies I consider Bitches, are NOT bitches with these standards.
By reading this book, I have been able to see the mistakes I made in my previous relationships and near relationships. I now understand why most guys I don't have feelings for are still interested in me and those I actually like keep making a run for it. Well, not literally.
I have, unfortunately, been giving the wrong attitude to the right guys and the right attitude to the wrong guys, making the wrong guys think they're right and the right guys think I'm stupid.
The summary of this book is pretty simple - LADIES NEED TO OWN THEIR SHIT!
I have never been the type of lady to put up the damsel in distress demeanour but I confess to sometimes giving a man more of my attention than is necessary, all in the name of being nice and in turn giving a man the impression that he has me "all figured out". That's usually where it ends.
This book came highly recommended for single ladies, but I'd like to recommend this to all guys as well, might be like reading into a mirror.
THANK ME LATER!!!
