Why Men Marry Bitches: The Nice Woman s Guide to Winning Her Man's Heart [Paperback]

Firstly, in this book BITCH means Babe In Total Control Of Herself.

Her previous book -Why men love bitches is my favorite and most highly recommended book for women on dealing with men. Keeping us men on our toes. Giving us women that we find challenging, and interesting, and donot take for granted.

Now onto WMMB. Men will test you, just as women test men. These tests serve a purpose. How you respond dictates the nature of the relationship, and whether get respected as the dreamgirl, or treated as a doormat. You teach people how to treat you. Sherry teaches you how to pass these tests.

WMMB entertains, as you might expect from a standup comic. I had to put the book down several times to laugh. Most of her advice is gleaned from many interviews with men, and their experiences with women, and they tell it like it is, what made them decide to marry one person and pass on another. Really, it is our secret playbook. In fact, I got great ideas from this book. So, I recommend this book to men too.

For men, marriage is the biggest financial and emotional decision of our life. If a man makes the wrong decision, and chooses the wrong woman, the financial and emotional consequences are dire.

The right decision, gains him the benefits of an excellent partner and children and opportunities for adventure and bliss, and will inspire and propel him to far greater achievements than would otherwise be possible. Imagine how attractive being independent, emotionally secure, confident, and already fulfilled can make you, and how not being needy or dependent on him for your emotional well being could make you a compelling candidate for marriage.

As you read this book, you will discover the common mistakes women make: the woman on a mission whose biological clock is ticking so loud you can actually hear it, perceiving the man as a vacancy filler, telegraphing commitment interest way too soon, the dreaded talk, the absolutely lethal -where do you see this relationship going question? Sherry's offers solid advice.

What if the guy is not prepared to commit anyway, then you have the dilemma of losing a relationship or continuing with a guy who won't commit. Many guys will string you along indefinitely, because they can.

The most resourceful advice is starting the conversation which will lead to commitment though it only offers one strategy, even if it is brilliant. You should have a few different approaches to pick from.

I disagree on one thing. I don't think it is a sound strategy to avoid talking about marriage entirely, for a long time, so it won't come up on the relationship radar. If you don't bring it up it may never come up. Before you spend years with a guy wouldn't it be wiser to find out in advance what his attitude is? This could bring the denial: You never said anything about a commitment before. Another shortcoming I feel is it does not offer strategies for testing his true attitude on commitment, and decision making.

Here's one idea. Ask a man how he feels about children. If he doesn't want to have them or like them, what does that mean? You have learned much from an indirect question.

Other books I recommend are: Dr Phil's Love Smart:Find the one you want, fix the one you got has excellent advice, on getting the commitment,and the 80/20 rule. The Secret Psychology of how we fall in love by Dr Paul Dobransky has excellent advice on testing a man to see if he is commitment material, also on finding the right kind of man, using the women from Sex and the City as the four female archetypes, the queen, warrior, magician and lover to determine both your personality types. There is also a personality test you can take at KWML.com.

So, I highly recommend this book, and good luck.

If you were to find this review helpful, please click yes.

This is a brilliant book which clearly spells out how women are often deliberately undermined and made to feel insecure by both the media and men as a tactic to manipulate them.
I have got enormous confidence from reading it, (and I'm someone who was confident before).
Chock full of consciousness raising and useful practical advice, words really can't do justice to it.
IMO, it's even better than it's predecessor; Why Men Love Bitches.
All I can really say is; THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

I don't really like the term 'bitch; it reminds me of snipey, malicious girls at high school. Instead 'bitch' in this book and her earlier book (Why Men Love Bitches) is an acronym for Babe In Total Control of Herself. There are lots of tips for nice girls who are always sweetness and light but somehow seem to keep losing their men. It seems that men want more of a spark, despite all the advice 'nice girls' receive to the contrary. This book tells women how to stand up for themselves and not be a doormat, and there are sections where the author has interviewed men about what they want from women. I think the first book was slightly better and I'd consider buying copies of it as presents for young women starting out in the dating world now. This second book covers a lot of similar ground to the first but is also a light-hearted and informative read.
