Read this in one sitting! Loved it and wished I would’ve read it sooner

Updating my review from 3 stars to 1 because I may have liked this back when I was a bitter hot mess of a 20-year-old, but I definitely disagree with the majority of this book now.

WHY MEN LOVE BITCHES?
Author: Sherry Argov
Genre: Self-help
Moods: Reflective
Pace: Medium
First and foremost, the word “bitch” here is not used in a pejorative way usually the word is being thrown around. The bitch here is an empowered woman who derives tremendous strength from the ability to be an independent thinker, particularly in a world that still teaches women how to be self-abnegating. This woman lives by her own standards, not someone else's. She plays by her own rules, exuding confidence, freedom, and empowerment.
“Sex appeal is 50% what you’ve got, and 50% what people think you've got"—SOPHIA LOREN
The message which comes through loud and clear in all the chapters here is:
Success in love isn’t about looks; it’s about attitude.
The media would have us believe differently. A teenage girl picks up a magazine and reads: “Get that boy’s attention” with an item of clothing, or a certain look.“This nail color or lipstick will wow him,” the magazine assures her. And what does the girl learn? How to obsess over someone else’s approval.
Then there is the issue of how the media treats aging. The teenage woman evolves into a twenty-something woman with confidence, and the media bombards her with negative images of aging. The message here is:Two wrinkles and a stretch mark, and she’s “marked down” like last season's merchandise that’s sold at half price. And what does she learn? How to obsess over someone else’s disapproval.
So what’s the message of this book? It’s that a bit of irreverence is necessary to have any self-esteem at all. Not irreverence for people, but rather, for what other people think.
Remarks:
I enjoyed the book up to page 60, after which it became redundant and repetitious. Nonetheless, it offers valuable advice to women who tend to overcompensate and go the extra mile for validation.
Too much of honey is poison and so is this book. If you use it in right amount, it can be a lifesaver. You go overboard with it and in no time it can turn toxic.
Disclaimer⚠️: Ultimately, every relationship is unique and fragile. The advice in this book may not be suitable for everyone, so handle it at your own risk!
My Rating: 3.5/5

reading this confirmed that I am, indeed, a "bitch."
no, but serious talk here, I don't think this book adds anything to the dictionary.
simply put, don't date douchebags, and most importantly, don't date -at all- if you're not over the age of letting men walk all over you.
if anything I think a "nice girl" should only read this book to take note of how she holds herself in a relationship and make sure that she's still her own boss.
