Fast read that had some thought provoking/empowering parts; however there were definitely parts that were heavily sexist and I disagreed with. Overall I didn’t like the message that women should adapt this persona to appear sexier and more enticing to men. 

to trust yourself, to respect yourself because that's how you make other people respect you. the principles are quite simple, but they are presented repetitively. the examples are good, but again, repetitive

What would i read about this at the first time, but well, well well.. wkwk

summary: any man worth having, wants a woman with self-respect. all these relationship self-help books basically say the same thing, be an independent person and have some self-respect. but the man in this book is allowed to be childish, egotistical, and uncommunicative and the woman is supposed to read a book to learn how to deal with him. someone write a book to teach men how to deal with themselves please...

emilyksnz's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 48%

I realized I really didn’t care. To summarize the overall content of this book: girl, get a life (not centered around men). You pretty much fail once you buy this book (as I realized halfway through).

Has some good points and I would definitely recommend to a friend or my younger self that could have used these tips about being a little more selfish and having higher standards before it has to be learned through a bad relationship. I have nothing against this book, it just wasn’t the right time to read it so I’ll have to go back someday and see if I change my rating but for now a middle ground is ok.

Some terminology is outdated and parts of this book are definitely tongue-in-cheek, but overall this is an excellent resource for any woman who dates men and is tired is being the "nice girl" who isn't valued and respected. The main themes are self-respect, setting firm boundaries with your time and energy, and keeping the masculine-feminine polarity "spark" in a relationship.

This book helped me digest my previous relationship. I got a brand new perspective on how to be in one that works well for my benefit. I have read mixed reviews about this book, but I genuinely took satisfaction in it. It comforted me and reminded me of the power I hold.
