Although this book was a bit sexist at times, it felt like an eye opener to me. Truly insightful about how men work, perhaps having a clear stand about yourself really does work. I’m convinced. I also liked the writers style of writing, it was fun!

Read this in a couple of hours. I learnt nothing new but this book made me laugh out loud more times than any book has this year. I don't regret picking it up.

Der Titel ist zwar cringe und lässt einen das schlimmste befürchten bzgl. des Inhalts ABER - aber im großen und ganzen ging es im Buch darüber, dass man als Frau eine eigenständige Person bleiben soll (und muss) während man Datet, in einer Beziehung ist oder Ehe etc. Einen eigenen Standpunkt, eigene Meinung, finanzielle Unabhängigkeit und Selbstbewusstsein haben und diese Dinge nicht für einen Mann aufgeben sollte.
Der Schreibstil ist wieder Titel: nicht gerade das beste 😅 Und ja, die Autorin bedient sich an vielen Stereotypen und Männer werden stark als dumme triebgesteuerte Tiere dargestellt und mir haben sehr die Quellen gefehlt. Die "Quellen" waren immer nur "in meinen Gesprächen mit Männern" und "Hier ein Beispiel von einer meiner Freundinnen" - das sind keine Quellen, sondern private und persönliche Erfahrungen aber ok 🙄
All in all nicht so schlimm wie ich befürchtet hatte aber auch nicht das schlechteste Buch das es gibt.

A silly little book and a quick read. As a how to on getting a husband in a real relationship, I'm not sure how much I could endorse it, but it was interesting. I also can't claim to be surprised at seeing the r word used in a book from almost a decade ago that has "bitch" in the title. For all its dichotomizing gender and jokes about men being animals, there wasn't a lot of "nice girl" bashing so much as just explaining why they weren't getting the results they desired. I found myself identifying with the exclusively "male" perception of marriage from the author's perspective. At times, it could be downright empowering. In reality, I'd love for relationships between all people to be authentic and genuine, but if books like these can raise the standards of my insecure girlfriends and teach them the "bitch" attitude of being unapologetic about leaving situations where they're being disrespected, or just relationships that are no longer supporting them or serving their future, then I am all here for that.
I may have to check out her other book on "love" as opposed to specifically marriage because that just isn't my cup of tea. Take everything with a grain of salt, but the takeaway is learning how to love yourself and learn your own worth and never let that be defined for you or taken away from you.

This book is hysterical.
And by hysterical, I mean infuriating.
This is what I hear every time I read something by this author: "I understand the world almost entirely in stereotypes and for added fun, whenever I say something that actually sounds enlightened I make sure to contradict myself IMMEDIATELY."
This is, honest to god, one of the top three worst books I've ever read. And that is really saying something because I read bad books on purpose.
