Why Men Marry Bitches Who Think Like A Man

In my younger days, I read a book called "Why Men Love Bitches."

Actually, the complete title is "Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl - A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship (by Sherry Argov)."  See figure below:



Perhaps in 2002, the advice Ms. Argov dispensed was revolutionary. From what I remember, she basically took 300 pages to say to women, 'Get a life and keep a life, even after you get a man.'

You're welcome; I just saved you about a week of reading time. For some reason, I recently decided to borrow the sequel "Why Men Marry Bitches" from my friend. It has taken me three months to read two chapters. This must be because it's a pretty corny and annoying book.

I realized very quickly into Argov's book that she was telling me how to play games. Um, Sherry, I like to watch games, not play them.  I avoid situations where I'd have to implement a 60-day plan, a 90-day rule or a wait-3-days-then-call-and-don't-respond-to-texts-first guideline. That's too much damn work! I closed the book because I'm not cut out for courting rituals that require me to one-up a man to "catch" him and "reel him in." You like me or you don't. No head games necessary.

Yes, I caved in and read Steve Harvey's "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man." Again, it was some straight-up common sense that has somehow grossed that man many thousands of dollars. SMH @ the women of the world! 

Next month a love coach named Paul Carrick Brunson, whom I follow on Twitter - and who appears on the OWN show "Lovetown, USA" - will be releasing a book titled "It's Complicated (But It Doesn't Have to Be): A Modern Guide to Finding and Keeping Love." Now that's a dating book I'd read, simply because I agree with the premise. Most of the "advice" we receive is a bunch of crap because love is simple. Corinthians 13 has it covered. Plus, when a guy really likes a woman, his choices seem to defy all logic. YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!

  • They say not to be clingy. I know some clingy, needy, desperate women that are getting engaged and married right now.
  • They say not to have sex on the first date. I hear this is only a problem for black men. Some people are married to folk that were first-night smashes.
  • They say to be independent and have your own everything. That's cool, but these millionaire men are out here snatching up nannies, waitresses and yoga teachers.  
  • And so forth, and so on. 
 I'm not mad at the hustle. If people are willing to listen to your advice, go head and make money off of them! All I'm saying is, I'll know it's right because it will just work - no playbook required!
