Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl - A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship

Even though is it a kind of 'self-help' book, the style is extremely no-nonsense. One thing I love is the helpful layout. Rather than pages of solid text you get bullet points and headings. Sherry names all the pitfalls that women fall into and makes us understand where we are going wrong by explaining the way guys view our behaviour.

Sherry is constructive - if she tells us what NOT to do, she will always back it up by explaining what we SHOULD be doing instead. And the good news is that there is nothing that she recommends which seems unreasonable or difficult to achieve.

In fact it all makes perfect clear sense. When I put this book down I felt an amazing amount of positivity. Sherry gives you the confidence to put all her tips into practice. And I'm looking forward to the results!

This is the first time i've written a review - that's how much i was impressed by this book! Having been brought up to be a nice girl and always being the one to give her time, efforts & energies - i now realise that putting yourself first isn't selfish - it's essential - the old cliche if you don't value yourself - why should others? rings true.
In the past, i've always been the one to show I care first - make that special effort - but no more - now i'll let myself sit back & enjoy being wooed - without the feeling I don't deserve it.
Truly a life changing book - BUY IT TODAY!!!!

This is the best seven quid I have spent in a long while. Its brilliant. I am hopeless with men. Wear my heart on my sleeve, fall in love easily, very honest, chase a wee bit too much. Its the wrong thing to do!!! This book will tell you how to get a good relationship. Its easy to read and is humourous. I have read it a few times now and I have only had it a few weeks. I am still single but my goodness when I meet someone I am no longer gonna be a doormat. I know exactly where I went wrong with all my past relationships.

Ever wondered why when you chase a guy he runs a mile? Or why the guy you fancy doesn't even call after the first date?
Answers to these and many more questions are within the covers of this excellent book. Having just left a long relationship i had to look at some of the reasons it failed, and this book showed me the way in many areas. In future relationships I will be coming from a very different place! An independant woman with her own life, friends and income IS more desirable, less needy and therefore much more interesting to most men. Read and learn!

An easy and very insightful read for anyone wondering why they can't keep a relationship and those that needs to blow of a few cobwebs in their current relationship. I have a single friend who has men falling over themselves to be with her and since reading this book it's become apparent that she has been running these set of rules inadvertently, proof that they do work.

The title is a little deceptive. It's not about being mean and hard it's about being who you are and honouring yourself. That means don't change who you are to please anyone else not just the male of the species. I have tried both ways people pleasing to honouring myself first and foremost. I can tell you that life works a whole lot better using the latter approach. Sherry sets this out as an easy to read set of rules. After the initial read-through it's a great book to keep diving back into if you have a few spare moments and need to remind yourself of some of the rules.

I would throughly recommend this book, but remember this is about honouring yourself and is not a guide on how to be a better doormat.

This book should come with a warning, however, I've made some changes in my marriage since reading the book (with good results I hasten to add) which has now inspired my group of girlfriends to take action in their own relationships, which is leaving a few husbands a little dazed and confused, but trying harder.
