'Why Men Love Bitches' Book Review

Interpersonal Communication
Patrick Humphrey “Why Men Love Bitches”
I picked up the book “Why Men Love Bitches”, by Sherry Argov, because I'm constantly told
I'm too nice to people and I'm sick and tired of being over looked by the opposite sex. I felt as if this
book could give me a wake up call and in a way it did. Argov is a very charismatic writer, that reels
you in to her text. There's certain areas in the book that seem to flash a light bulb above your head, and
then you seem to understand situations you've had in the past, similar to what's been described in the
book.
Sherry Argov tries to really stress that women need to respect themselves and their wants over
the wants and needs of the opposite gender. She points out that it's okay to be nice, but you have to be
nice to yourself first, before you go breaking your back for other people. The book is cut into different
sections, all focusing on different aspects of the 'nice girl' and on how to change that girl into someone
more independent, that knows how to speak their minds. Throughout the book there are little snip its
called 'Attraction Principles' that basically tell you what's attractive and what not to do. There's a total
of one hundred of these principles.
I enjoyed the book and felt that it had some good points, but the book was a little too pushy in
my opinion. It makes the so called nice girl sound like a complete idiot. Which could be detrimental to
someones self esteem if they were to really absorb every word in the text. Argovs purpose in the book
was meant to be helpful, and it totally can be, but you have to know not to take everything she says to
heart. It worries me how convincing the author is because to the helpless, confused, and hopeless
woman, it would become a bible. Women who are just so fed up with life would eat this book up, and
not everything in this book is accurate. There are
