Why Men Marry Bitches

Why Men Marry Bitches
- A Woman’s Guide to Winning Her Man’s Heart
By Sherry Argov


This is the latest book that I finished. Ironically, it is also the first book that I read in 2009. I had bought it as a Christmas present for a single girl friend only to realize that she already has it.

I had no intention of reading at first… seeing that I’m already married. But L said that it’s really a good book and shows you how to get what you want. You learn to alter your approach. You also understand how men really think. What their actions really mean. How he expects you to react, and how you should behave instead.

The book is “about how to capture his heart so that you have the power to choose the outcome you want”.

The author defines Bitch as “a strong woman who has her own identity and is secure with who she is. She is plenty happy giving him “space” because she enjoys having hers. She is clear about what she will or will not accept. She’ll back away at the slightest whiff of disrespect, and this makes her more exciting, not less. That’s the woman he dreams of marrying”.

She explains Why a Strong Woman Wins His Heart and shows you How to Convince Him Commitment Was His Idea. She had gathered information from the object of our study – MEN, who gave her an inside look at the information usually reserved for men only, about what really gets a man to fall in love and pop the question.

A Page from the male rulebook:
The definition of unforgettably sexy: A woman who can function on her own and take care of herself. She won’t let me always have the upper hand. And, she can tell anyone to go jump in the lake whenever she feels like it.


Whenever you are too worried about someone else’ approval, that person loses respect for you. When you need his approval, it blinds you and you quickly become the vulnerable one in the relationship.

Another Page from the male rulebook:
It’s a man’s world so we are used to getting our way. But when a woman has her own way of doing things, she becomes very intriguing. Even though we seem a little confused when we don’t get our way, we secretly respect it.


In addition, Sherry has also come up with many Relationship Principles e.g. “When a woman rushes in too quickly, a man will assume she is in love with the idea of having a relationship. But if he has to slowly win her over, incrementally, he’ll think she’s falling in love with who he is”.

The second you put your life on hold, you become less interesting.

Another relationship principle states, “The magic formula is to give a little… and then pull back. Give a little… and then pull back”.

I guess the part that is more useful for me is Why Financial Independence Makes You Desirable as a Wife – good thing that I AM ALREADY financial independent! ;P

The woman who can get up and leave at any time is the one who can put him in check. When a man meets a competent woman who doesn’t need him, he instantly treats her differently than the woman who seems unsure of what she wants out of life. That’s the woman he marries.

Relationship Principle: He doesn’t marry a woman who puts him on a throne. He marries a woman who is his equal… that special woman whom he can share all of life’s moments with.

I'm proud to be a BITCH - Babe In Total Control of Herself!
