Why Men Love Bitches

       

          The word BITCH has a negative connotation loosely applied-by men and women alike-to women with vicious behavior and demean others. Think of the classic example of bitches in Mean Girls. They're the bunches you love and hate at the same time. But most of the time, they're the kind you stay away from.

          But in Why Men Love Bitches-a book by Sherry Argov-bitch is defined to a different context. She's described with the highest regard. As how Sherry Argov put it, she's the dream girl. The bitch she's describing is, according to her words:
"The woman I'm describing is kind yet strong. She has strength that ever is so subtle. She doesn't give up her life, and she won't chase a man. She knows what she wants but she won't compromise herself to get it. She has the ability to remain cool under pressure."
          And I was just quoting lines from her introduction. I tell you once you read the book you won't be able to put it down. Not only that it's an interesting read, but it also makes you assess yourself as you read along and makes you question if you're being "too nice", if you're a doormat, or if you're the dream girl. Which category do you belong? I had many "Aha!" moments as I read it. What draws me to the book is that it resonates my philosophy of putting more value to one's self. Self-respect is very important. 

          I could go on and on because, obviously, I agree with her. Not only that it's a self-help book (by making a turn around from being a doormat to a dream girl), the book also talks about relationship. It's basically a guide book for a woman to hold her own in the relationship, derived from interviewing hundreds of men and women. Here are some of the matters she stretched in her book:
The most attractive quality of all is dignity
Truly powerful people don't explain why they want respect. They simply don't engage someone who doesn't give it to them. 
Be an independent thinker at all times, and ignore anyone who attempts to define you in a limiting way.
You can get away with saying much more with humor than you can with a straight face.
Once you start laughing, you start healing.
The ability to choose how you want to live, and the ability to choose how you want to be treated are the two things that give you more power than any material object ever will.
The relationship may not be right for you if you find yourself jumping through hoops. When something is right, it will feel easier and much more effortless.
Any time a woman competes with another woman, she demeans herself.
If the choice is between her dignity and having a relationship, the bitch will prioritize her dignity above all else.
Anything a person chases in life runs away. 
          They are just ten out of the hundred principles discussed in the book. Grab a copy now!
