Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov
1.25
medium-paced

This should not be a book you go to for relationship advice. 

While it contains some general tokens of wisdom, it is generally couched in a great pile of shit. 

Not only is a lot of the advice contradictory, it paints a very unappealing picture of men, women and dating between the two of them. 

For instance: Apparently men only care about food and sex. That's it.  Therefore what's the point of dating them? That's apparently the only thing they have about them. Also, apparently they're all children. So why would anyone want to date an immature insecure man? 

Apparently, a woman needs to be both completely independent but also rely on him to kill insects and fix light bulbs for them or else he's gonna feel emasculated. Women shouldn't communicate with men when they make a mistake or do something wrong because men don't like to listen to woman unless they are talking about their interests or telling the man how great he is.  Instead, they should just be passive aggressive about it, ignore them, or do things to actively sabotage them like tuurning all of their white clothes pink or turning off the circuit breaker in the room they're in to get their attention. The book is just full of manipulation and disingenuous behavior. 

One thing I've learned from reading this book is that if I encounter any of the individuals who were involved in making the book or contributing to the book, I know that they are the absolute worst person to be around to date and to avoid them all possible.

Men and women and everybody in between are so much more complicated and fuller beings than how they're described in this book. Her overly simplistic view of men is downwrite insulting and again, paint them as people no one would want to be involved with. Meanwhile, women are vapid manipulators who need to pretend they think the man is perfect but also keep him in his place but also not complain too much or cause problems. 

How about we all have open communication and consideration for each other and view relationships as partnerships and not games to try and cheat?
