This book is worth every penny. The advice is short, to the point. Her take is that you should not give up your own life for just any guy. You should be able to hold your own in a relationship and feel respected by the man you date. You are the prize. You are the jewel. Do not sell yourself short and accept just any treatment from just any guy you meet.
Good luck in the dating world.

When I started reading this book, I thought that maybe it was not for me. Maybe I am already a bitch... I value myself and I would never put up with some of the situations the author describes as a no-no in her book. But as you progress towards the end of the book you start identifying with so many patterns that it is scary to think it might have been your fault the last time a relationship did not work! So, we value ourselves a lot in the beginning of a relationship, and then we get dangerously involved... is this our fault or the jerk's?
What got me questioning this book is the fact that it is not worth getting involved with someone who won't love you for who you are. I am sorry, but pretending I am someone else for the rest of my life is not my idea of happiness! Instead, I prefer to push away those guys that love to hunt. My purpose in life is not to make some jerk's life challenging and fun.
The mistake in this book is to sell the idea that you can transform a jerk into a prince by following simple rules of behaviour. People don't change, they grow, and that takes precious years that you may want to spend with someone else instead! Someone who has already grown up, perhaps? It's not that hard to find (and I recognize I am talking about men here)!
The fact is, you can transform a jerk into a prince temporarily, and most likely in the beginning of the relationship while he is still trying to impress you... but he will return to his jerky way of being as soon as you marry him, so why bother?
This book is all the way worth it, but has to be read with a critical eye. Instead of transforming that jerk into a prince, follow the author's advice to drive all the jerks away. And go get yourself a nice gentleman, will you?

I absolutely love this book. I don't want to play game but guy always act mostly the same thing in relationship. So this book made me think what went wrong.

Thank you Sherry! This is one of the best books I have read about relationships with men. In fact, I wish I had read this book 20 years ago. This should be the official guide for all women (all ages) adventuring into the dating world. The younger you read this book the greater your chances of succeeding in your relationships with men.

I am the typical nice girl. I am driven by emotions and when I meet a guy I like I see him as "the one" until proven otherwise. Therefore I automatically feel that I must give my 100% to that person. The problem with this approach is that giving your 100% too early in the relationship will make him feel as if he had it too easy and will make him go away looking for a better challenge. This book describes in a very simple and funny way something that we instinctively knew but couldn't put our finger on: These fantastic and interesting creatures called men are, very succinctly, "hunters" looking for their match... therefore women need to be the smart "strategist" prey.

I always wondered why relationships with the guys I liked never worked out while the guys I was not interested in were always chasing me. After reading this book it is clear that the reason was ME. It was amazing reading some of the examples about the typical mistakes women make that will kill the sparks on a relationship. More than one time it felt like I was reading my own diary...Depressing. It made me feel stupid and ignorant but at the same time it opened my eyes.

One note of caution: I have read some reviews stating that not all men are like the ones portrayed in this book, like if this book were about "jerks". This book is not about how "bad" men are or how "good" and mistreated girls are. I am pretty sure we all agree that inherent evil has nothing to do with sex. This book is about helping you understand basic rules of human nature and principles of relationships between sexes based on the fact that men and women are different and "think" differently. This book will give you the tools that you need in order to understand how men think and perceive your actions from their vantage point so you can make yours and your partner's dating experience more interesting and enduring

Let me get this striaght. If a woman is acting like a total bitch toward me, that means she LIKES me? My mind is officially blown.

I'll bet women who take this book seriously are perfect for guys who take "The Game" by Neil Strauss seriously. I just hope I'm not the only single person left in this world who just wants to have a nice relationship with a nice person and not have play a bunch of silly mind games.
