Summary: This gem is worth its weight in gold
Comment: I was first introduced to this book over a year ago, but was reluctant to follow its advice. Sure enough, my guy situation soon tanked, and then I started reading this book in earnest. Wow! What a valuable, valuable book. It almost feels a little unfair to me- like cheating- it works so well. I'd say I'm decent-looking and relatively put-together and intelligent, but by no means a superstar, and I have had more guys go crazy about me in the meantime than in the past five years.
I think the people who review this book negatively are in denial about how men really feel. But you know what? Fine, let them be in denial. That just means the women who recognize this book for its insight (and their lucky partners) will have even more power. To the "Cro-Magnon" commentator... maybe it's not pretty, but you know what? Men (and women) ARE still driven by certain primitive instincts and certain urges. We have not evolved past many very old-fashioned, traditional mating desires. Perhaps we've developed certain societal rules to deal with it, but that doesn't change our first gut reaction. As Sherry mentioned, it ISN'T fair that men are supposed to do the chasing, or that they often think the opposite when you perform a nice gesture too soon, or that they tell you one thing and mean another. But it isn't a fair world, and I'd rather learn to work it, and win, rather than complain about it endlessly but lose.

Summary: A must read for all Nice Girls.
Comment: The book definitely changed my life for better. It not only IMPROVED my relationship with my partner but also it made me feel so confident and independent, or rather, it made me brave to feel that way. I was always afraid to say my opinion or protect my point of view. This vulnerability made me look weak and helpless. It was a turn off for my boyfriend and I didn't understand why. Someone said in their review that this book is for cave women, call me that, the book itself actually calls me one of those "nice girls" who are satisfied by satisfying someone else, it's true, that's who I always was, a nice girl. I had to buy a book to learn how to be a bitch. Please don't let the word "Bitch" scare you away or be judgmental. This word is too strong and at the same time it teaches you to be strong. I needed that. I was taken for granted and couldn't stand up for myself, not because I'm dumb or naive, but because I didn't know it's the right thing to do when it comes to men. I thought I need to be very agreeable. Now I changed so much. It's been a month since I read the book and every single day I made sure to follow the book's advices. It was hard at first and I had to reread page by page again and again. I felt like I was changing day by day and the change was for better. My relationship with my boyfriend became perfect, I swear! He shows his respect towards me now and I only appreciate it not more, I don't let him offend me. I found out one thing, that the same person can be very nice to one and very disrespectful to another and it all is up to you how you let people treat you. I recommend this book to all girls (guys, please, don't read this book ever, it's none of your business, save your time and read "how to be a perfect gentlemen" or "how to treat woman right"). Best book, better than "The rules" (sorry "The Rules", I used to like you best before I read this book).

Summary: Entertaining, But Don't Try This At Home, Kids!
Comment: A few girlfriends recommended this book to me. A lot of what the author writes does make sense; however, a woman shouldn't have to play a game just to "snag" a good man. It's OK to be a babe in total control of herself, but if you're not REALLY a babe in total control of yourself, what do you think is going to happen when the guy finds out you're a hoax? That you're an insecure mess?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book with good advice
Comment: Loved the book, really gives you some insight as to how men operate in relationships.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Laugh & Realistic
Comment: I think Sherry brought out the realistic facts that some women tend to forget. It's a good and enjoyable book that I would highly recommend women to read.
