Overall I thought this book had some very GOOD advice but also very BAD advice.
Argov focuses on confidence and how you shouldn’t take any bad behaviour or slack from men of any kind (lover, coworker, etc) she really opened my eyes to some of my own “people pleasing” behaviours and how overtime this degrades self confidence.
On the other hand the way Argov talks about men is very hot and cold. She talks about men in very degrading ways (ie. saying no man would wear pink underwear) like ????
Was the self confidence advice good? Yes, and I will be incorporating her advice into my life and relationships but be wary that the men he speaks of in this book are not good.
3.5/5 I do recommend this book. Might not be completely for me but might help some women to read.

5 stars on the accurate (in my opinion) analysis of how most men think and behave
3.5-4 stars on her advice
I love that she focuses on the law of attraction (she doesn’t say it out right but the principals she talks about are aligned to it) and detaching and putting yourself first and knowing your value and being independent and being your own person. and yes, that is the way to keep a man interested - i have seen this work for all the women i know live like that. and her examples about the “nice girl”, who caters to men and gets used and is always treated like trash in the end, is definitely accurate too and ive seen it play out in so many women.
on the other hand, some of her advice definitely plays in to the cool girl troupe, which harms women too. i don’t think a woman should have to do some of the things she mentions for a man (like acting like you need help fixing a tire to feed their ego and having to switch it up in bed).

I am so happy I took the time to sit down and actually read this book because I love it so much. As someone who is usually “a nice girl“ it was nice to figure out where I’ve been going wrong at times, and how to improve myself as well. I now want to buy my own copy because it’s now one of my favs.
