Some reviews suggest this book is about playing relationship "games". I just have to let people know that this is not true at all. The book investigates the psychological facts behind what really happens in a relationship. Most women, once attached, start being too nice. They compromise when they should not and give more than what they might recieve. The problem is, guys are different. If a woman is too nice they assume they have already won her over and do not have to try any harder. That's when women become frustrated and complain because they need more, but this neediness automatically turns guys off. This book simply opens your eyes to how men view relationships and read into a woman's bahaviour. I can personally relate to the examples in the book. When I first started dating my boyfriend 3 years ago, I was busy with university and friends, and so I did not really care about where and how the relationship was going. He knew that I wasn't attached and did not have a problem breaking up if he mistreated me, so he made sure that didn't happen. But after a couple of years I started acting needy, as I complained if he didn't call or was too busy to see me all the time. As a result he started backing off. I could not understand how someone who always went out of his way to make me happy and used to insist on "forever" only, now avoids talkin about anything serious alltogether. This book helped me a lot in understanding what had went wrong, and how it could get better. It's not about playing games; it's about remembering that guys do not respond to neediness.Show Less

It's nearly 4am on Valentine's Day as I take the time to write this, hopefully that will help convince the ladies reading this of my sincerity. In the interest of establishing my perspective, I am a young man who recently had his heart broken and is desperately struggling in the aftermath of the betrayal that occurred. I have no motive in posting this other than to encourage ladies out there because in spite of my last experience I still believe there are truly wonderful women out there. A female friend discussed this book with me recently and wanted a male's perspective on the principles it advocates. I would like to encourage all of the "nice girls" (to use the book's terminology) out there in the the same way I encouraged her. Please, please do not change your ways. If you are sweet and kind and affectionate you deserve to be treasured and spoiled and loved to the fullest extent, while being respected as an independent woman and an equal partner in your relationship. A real man would not seek to exploit your sweet nature by using it to assert his dominance in the relationship. I'm sorry if that has been your past experience. You can be a full partner in any relationship without becoming a b****. Men do not love b****es. Please believe me. I've never met a man who was seeking that kind of behavior from a woman. This book is propagating a message that will prove harmful to yourself and to your relationships. Please do not follow the advice of this book.Show Less

Why didn't I get this sooner!
A definte MUST read for all women, regardless of age, etc. This book tells you how men react to women and how you can stop reacting to them, just by turning on your inner B. Well, that's what I got out of it. It's mostly about why men respect women who won't let them run all over them. It's highly informative, to say the least.

Definitely A Must Read!!!
When I first bought this book I thought I was going to say what the magazines say and have a few quizzes, but I was wrong. To this day this is one of the most important books that I¿ve read. It points out every mistake that women make and how guys perceive them afterwards. My friends and I call it ¿THE BOOK¿, it¿s our secret code! I haven¿t had a chance to apply it to my life yet but I definitely will soon =).

Changed my attitude about men and dating; changed my life!
I read "Why Men Love Bitches" years ago and it changed my life, and then later I benefited from "Why Men Marry Bitches". I didn't know how to stand up for myself in a relationship, which is why I always accepted a man¿s hurtful behavior and experienced failed relationships and a broken heart. Sherry's book opened my eyes to my faulty belief system, changed my attitude about myself and my relationship behavior and ultimately gained me confidence and self-respect that attracted men who would honor me as a woman. Not to mention it is an incredibly entertaining read!

Still the nice girl but with a better understanding!
I have always been the girl who wears her heart on the sleeve of my shirt. I have been told to many times that i am to nice and let guys walk all over me and so on. With this book i actually realized that what everyone was saying was true. I have been seeing someone for the last year that wouldn't commit to me. Well i started using the things from the book on him. It's amazing!!! He can't seem to get enough of me now and before he was always pushing me away. He is constantly asking when am i going to see you again, or calling all the time. It was hard for me at first to not be so available all the time. But it has given me time to spend with the dog, my girlfriends and even join a softball team. I recommend this book to every woman who is to nice or just seems to get walked all over again and again.

Wow.
I'm a 21 year old woman who was in a relationship for almost 4 years,YEAH..I KNOW. Some of the things the author wrote really hit. The things that I was doing and not doing in my relationship, to being taken for granted,and letting my boyfriends treat me how HE wanted. It really inspired me and gave me the backbone to dump the loser and start doing things for myself and now I'm back in the dating scene and I'M in control!

The title should be something like this " A beter understanding of Men and how they think"
This book gives you the reader a better insight and understanding of men I wouldn't call this a gospel it helped me figure out where I've gone wrong,and where to change some ways of approaching a new relationship. Though, I interviewed some men and they said would love if a woman asked them out found it sexy! I've become more confident with reading this it has some helpful guideline on what men look for. I am more independent - No more doormat for me !

Amazing book looove it ?
I finally finished reading this book & it threw me back on how much of a "nice girl" I was. To nice to the point that I was weak & always had failed relationships. Sherry was on point to almost everything I did wrong lol!
I got this book after reading a preview of it & was so intrigued because I was so tired of getting hurt & taken for granted. The author fully opened my eyes to how I should handle myself with more respect the next time a new guy comes into my life. Right now i'm enjoying single life & focusing on my life taking time for me...but you better believe that the very next time I date...I WILL BE IN CONTROL! Thanx 4 the awesome book Sherry.1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Very useful
Sherry did her thing with this very informative book. I think that every girl and women should read this book. She open the woman eyes to things that they do and do nor realize they do. She did her research and you get to see what the men are thinking and what they are looking for. I've already recommended that a couple of my friends read this booka and they are utilizing the tools giving.

The secret is out!
I wish this book had been written years ago. This is a 'woman's bible'. You can read it over and over again every time you start dating someone new to make sure you are his dreamgirl and not his doormat. I even started a yahoo group with the same title and all of us women discuss the book and help eachother out.

A book made after me
My god I was shocked when I read this book, it sounded just like me, strong and indepentend. I also felt bad when the movie deliver me from Eva came out and my daughter said out loud in front of company that's my momma. This book is so good, that I will give out for xmas gifts to every woman I know. I couldn't sit this book down it blew me off my feet, and I just looked at the nice girl being my sister and I was the other way. You go girl, I will be the first to put this book out to every woman to help them learn not to be weak, this book gives them tips.

I'm in control !!
Where was this book 10 years ago? I would have not ever lent a man money or cook a full course meal within 1 month of dating him. But, we live and learn. And this book taught me a great deal on how to have the man you want chase you. It's been a week since I read it and my male friend is calling and reporting to me !

Get this book TODAY, not tomorrow, or tonight.
It will change your life. Give it to your friends, your niece, and any other women, single or married, that you care about. The only thing you will regret is, 'Why didn't I get this 3 relationships earlier???' It's like a LOVE SPELL, but this one actually works and no chicken blood or rose quarts needed. It will save you so much money on your therapy sessions. I know, because I am a psychologist.
