Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl―A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship

I read this on the recommendation of a friend, and it was the worst book I have ever read in my life - which is really saying something, because I read 50 Shades of Grey.
If this book is by any means an accurate depiction of modern relationships - hell no. I will gladly just stay single for the rest of my days rather than dealing with this fucking nonsense:
"Whenever he does something handy around the house like putting up a shelf, praise him. It doesn't matter if the shelf hangs at a 45-degree angle." What the actual fuck? No.
"Men have big egos and they need to have them stroked. This is what the 'dumb fox' does." No.
"A tip: When you are at his place any day of the week, don't do any housework" What the - WHY IS THIS A TIP? Are women doing this? Fine. I agree with this one. STOP THAT.
"Never ask a man to do something more than twice or he'll feel as though he's being scolded by Mom." Are you dating a 12 year old?
"If that fateful day ever does arrive when he tells you that you are a bitch? Stop, and take a deep breath. Then enjoy the moment. Smile internally as you say to yourself, 'Okay. Now I know he truly does love me.'" Holy hell. This is the most terrifying paragraph in the English language. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.

Wow, Jess. I am having a flashback to being single and in my 30s, reading The Rules. Must have had the same friend, and I had the same reaction. fyi, the authors (at least one of the two) got divorced following the publication. Seriously, you must love your friend if you even cracked the spine on a book with that title!

So you're saying there's hope?!
of course! (said the woman with puberty and menopause living in the same house) This is one of the few instances where I would recommend throwing away a book.
That book sounds terrible - you should be able to give negative stars for the rating!
Lol, negative stars. It's like this author is living in her own little bubble without truly knowing the satisfaction of a healthy, mature relationship looks like and then goes ahead and writes a book about her bubble view stating everything as a fact.
Publishers should be scolded for publishing crap that makes money, instead of striving for the spread of knowledge that actually supports a better society. But the majority is all about money nowadays unfortunately -_-
Amen, sister! And your review was funny as hell too.
Girl, you brought it on so good!
horror books cannot compete with this stuff istg
