Free Downloads Why Men Marry Bitches: A Woman's Guide To Winning Her Man's Heart
Love and marriage, romance and intimacy...everybody wants it, but it seems only the select few get it. Never shy and always laugh-out-loud funny, Sherry Argov’s Why Men Marry Bitches is a sharp-witted manifesto that shows women how to transform a casual relationship into a committed one.Dating can feel like a contact sport and modern mating rituals can be impossible to decode, with little consensus on the rules of engagement and both sides tired of the game. What’s an intelligent woman looking for a devoted relationship to do? Glad you asked… With the grittiest of girlfriend-to-girlfriend confidence, Argov removes the kid gloves (knocking off your rose-colored glasses in the process) and explains why being extra nice won’t necessarily get you that wedding you’ve always dreamed of, and is more likely a sure path to disappointment. Going directly to the source in candid interviews, she shares an enlightening look into the psychology of the male mind. Insightful, empowering and hysterical, this indispensable guide will reveal in honest detail: *How do men manipulate a relationship to keep it casual? *Do men deliberately push women’s emotional buttons? *How can she convince him commitment was his idea? *How can she invite a proposal without saying a word? More than a self-help manual, this is a life skills handbook that both men and women can relate to, whether single, newly courting, recently separated or ready to embark on the next level of commitment in a current relationship. Why Men Marry Bitches will reveal how to set healthy boundaries, embrace your independence and take charge of your own happiness, so that you exude the kind of sexy confidence that will win his heart and get the love, respect, and loving relationship you deserve.

I respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer who said that Argov's first book was better. As a guy, I thought the exact opposite: "Why Men MARRY Bitches" gives women much more sorely-needed advice.This book is not about marriage. It's about why single women don't enter relationships that progress, and would be a good read for single and married women.From a male's perspective, I was amazed at how well it gets into the minds of men and tells women what makes us want to be exclusive, what makes us lose interest in other women, what we respect... "marry" nails it from a man's perspective. The first book Argov talks about things that are obvious and predictable, like whether or not to sleep with the guy on the first date. "Why Men MARRY Bitches" talks about how a guy will test a girl, how he may manipulate her to keep the relationship casual, how a guy might lead her to believe he's interested in committing and then do the "holding pattern" with the "I'm really busy with work" excuses. The advice in the last chapter on what a women should say to a guy when it isn't progressing is outstanding. It tells women why things don't progress, and that's where most women need help. They have no problem catching a guy, it's keeping him around where it gets messed up and that's why "Why Men Marry Bitches" is superior.Also, I can confirm Argov would have no way of knowing the things she discloses in this book unless she actually sat down and interviewed us men. I found myself saying under my breath, "Who told her this?" on almost every page. I was blown away by the discussions of how men are made to feel they are "filling a position" when a women talks about "wanting to get married" (but doesn't matter to whom). It is such valuable information for women to read.
A "Filler Girl", in my humble definition, is the girl that a guy keeps around for the sole purpose of just, well, keeping her around. For no reason, really... Except maybe sex, and that's it. The Filler Girl is usually the girl who was asked out not even a month after the guy's break-up with another girl (She's the "rebound girl", in other words.)... Or maybe she's the girl who asks the guy out, and while the guy isn't too crazy about her, she seems easy enough to keep him company until he's sick of her. You are tortured by endless hours of worrying that he's cheating on you, or if he's still in love with an old lover/friend, or if he even loves you as much as you love him...Stop. Stop being that Filler Girl, and start being the MAIN Girl that the guy actually WANTS. I was once the Filler Girl... I was desperate, easy (not in a sexual way, but like, just how easy it was for me to agree with everything he says), and I guess, boring... Not remarkable in any way. I would try to be the perfect girlfriend for the guys that I liked... Only to realize that, while their hand is in mine, their heart was in some other girl...I decided that after getting my heart smashed into pieces (and messing up potentially life-lasting relationships and even friendships), I've decided to change my route. I brought this book and started to read the whole book as fast as I could. Some pages made me gasp in shock, but I pressed on... As each chapters went by, I know realized what my issues were and now I am able to grasp what I should do and say instead if I'm EVER going to find a guy who will want to settle down with me. Granted, I'm only 20, so I do have some time ahead...
I love this book! I was married for 21 years and my first husband treated me like a door mat! I got used, abused and everything in between. I finally divorced him and started dating again. I met a guy and I fell in love. However, I noticed that over a period of time he started acting shady, treating me like I was insignificant and we began break-up & make-up cycles, etc. I always went back because I loved him and I was hooked but he didn't love me.I realized that there was something that "I" was doing wrong not the men. I got this book and it struck home! I was way too nice to men. I started using the techniques in this book and it changed everything. It was so invigorating! My boyfriend had been taking me for granted until I turned the table on him. He became a changed man right before my eyes. He didn't know what to think. This was a man who in the past had told me he didn't love me, he was NEVER gonna get married again, and treated me like I was a side dish.I gave him some distance, stopped calling, made a couple of dates & then pulled a disappearing act and then ignored his calls, cancelled at the last minute...etc. Also, told him I was busy instead of being available "every" time he wanted to see me... which the book suggests. I stopped treating him like HE was my life.However, I was never mean. I just treated him how he had treated me in the past. As a result, he started treating me like a queen! He begged to move in with me, couldn't stop calling me, doing things for me, buying me things, cooking dinners...AND professing his love for me. Ha! Ha!Ha!I also, stood my ground and told him that I was a traditional woman and didn't like living with a man without being married. Guess what? He proposed!
