Book Club: What do you guys think of "Why Men Love Bitches"?

Reading this now and it’s great! High value women experience for real.

I highly recommend that book!

Fascinatingly enough, i know an old Bishop who said that (not verbatim) when women hold themselves to higher standards, it forces the men who want to pursue them to higher standards. Then the level of civilisation is held at a higher standard, and it all comes down to woman’s standards.

"Bitches" is not meant as a derogatory term. I own both volumes of the book and it is impressed in the body of text that the word 'bitch' is meant as "Babe In Total Control of Herself".

I highly recommend both books for the advice and humor mixed in. One of the main principles is that a bitch does not compromise herself for a man. Period.

When I first read the book, it was my sister's copy. I was coming out of a relationship with a guy I loved so very much. He told me that "I needed to lower my standards", although what really hurt me was when he told me that I "wasn't marriage material" because I wouldn't compromise on things like 50/50 on dates, etc.

The principles showed me what I was doing wrong, especially the section about being a doormat. So much of what was written made me groan, "Oh God, I did that, and that...". I will forever be grateful to that book for lending laughs and a good kick in the pants, plus leading me on the path of FDS.

At the time I was reading, my sister was dating her now husband. He gave her an ultimatum that it was either they move in together or he moves closer to his work (hour drive). That made a huge impression on me because "compromising oneself for a man's comfort" was playing out like how I was reading in the book.

While Argov never dedicates a huge part to "moving/living together", "Turning in Your Pink Slip" made total sense. In short, men respect women less when she is way too accessible to him, be it dating or deciding to move in together. Meanwhile, I couldn't believe that my sister was even entertaining the thought. She, too, read the same book as well as The Rules, is FDS to the 'T', and all of a sudden it was going out the window? Nooo!

My mom asked me what my opinion was. I told her that I can't dictate what my sister does with her life, although I wouldn't even entertain the idea for myself because it sounded like a just giving up. Long story short, and I don't know if my mom said anything to my sister, she snapped out of it, told him that she would do no such thing, and he could move closer to work if he wanted to. He stayed at his place and never uttered another ultimatum to my sister. Guess who had a ring on her finger by Christmas? Her.

FDS, paired with other readings recommended on this forum, works.
