Maybe reading a book out of curiosity was not the best idea for me, or maybe I'm just not a non-fiction person but I tried my best to get into it and I think I am getting more annoyed rather than enjoying it.

I am sorry but I don't think we have to be ''the bitch'' to catch a man or pretend you are nonchalant and uncaring because you are playing this game in which everything is a chase and you have to stop being a ''nice girl''. Maybe I have the nice girl syndrome, who knows? I believe you don't need any games or strategies to form a relationship with a person that actually likes you. Like what do you mean if I show someone I care about them and their wellbeing and I want to show them my love I am a needy nice girl who cannot hold herself into a relationship? Yeah, so great, let me play a game in which I pretend I am someone that I am not, and then fall into a lie because I have to diminish my real character.

I would like to say.. you want a relationship? Man, just be yourself. Why can we not be ourselves and have someone who cares about us for exactly who we are and we have to play all the games in the world to ''get a man''. Also why do we have to pretend to be ''dumb foxes'' and ''need help around the house'' and praise the man for everything he does because men have a big ego - based on the author - and it needs to be stroked by us.. BUT I CAN'T SHOW THAT I CARE ABOUT HIM AND COOK HIM FOOD BECAUSE THAT IS NEEDY?

I don't understand why we have to take all women and just tell them how to behave and take every type of man into one big generalised pot and pretend that everyone is the same and we are all just bitches and big egos lol
fast-paced

The author's translation of bitch isn't abrasive woman, it's "Babe In Total Control of Herself." Yeah! YEAH SELF HELP BOOKS!

I thought the author made some excellent points, though they might have come in more handy towards the beginning of my relationship. But still, some good mantras to remember; the underlying theme being that men respect women who respect themselves.

i don’t understand the hype surrounding this book. there were a few kinda (?) good pieces of advice for holding your own with a man but i didn’t even finish bc the rest of it is advice to curate a horrible relationship built on manipulation! idk it’s all about “playing the game” to make a man think he’s in control when really “you’re in control”. like?? how about we just stop letting men think they have all the power. ladies, just find a man who doesn’t refer to women as “bitches” and then you probably won’t need to use any of the “advice” in this book
