Well said, though, that the tips are evident even in bussiness/professional situations. :) I wish I could follow every piece of advice in “Why Men Love Bitches,” but it’s difficult.

Reclamation of the term "bitch" isn't a new thing, but this whole injection of psuedo-neo-feminism into relationships baffles me. The whole point of feminism in the first place was for women to prove they didn't need men and could live without them. Being in a romantic relationship is completely counter-productive to the movement's (original) intended goal. Rambling off topic. Anyway, I did look at some excerpts from the book and the biggest problem I have with most of it's concepts are that it's completely about mind games. Why can't people just be honest? Why can't a man say "hey I like you, if you like me, let's see what we have in common" and the woman says "ok well I want to get married and have kids in the next couple years, is that what you want?" and the guy says "hell no I want to live the bachelor life for at least 3 more years and go out with the guys every Friday night but I might consider that in 5 years" or something like that. And thus the relationship ends peacefully, no hurt feelings. Or conversely, they both tell each other up front what their goals and desires are and find that they're compatible, and BOOM a great relationship is born. MIND GAMES ARE STUPID AND THEY SUCK! That's my two cents. I haven’t read this book so I can’t comment on it’s content, but I have a feeling I would disagree with some (or possibly most) of it.

I always relate dating to job seeking: -there are always those awkward first dates - the ones that looked great from the outside but were not so great once you got to know them -the ones you didn't give a chance but kind of knocked your socks off!

Your managers are real people too, and they do not have total control of you and your life. I agree that women are more likely to mold for others as a result of trying to please everyone. Also, great point about the cool kids in school- that is pretty hard to fake! I think women need to understand the concept about putting YOU first and then good things will come as a result. This concept may be explored further in an upcoming post! I think a lot of employees are intimidated by their managers/superiors.
