Do Men Really Prefer Bitches?

DO MEN REALLY PREFER BITCHES?


We’ve all come across men who dance attention on aloof and seemingly unattainable women.  And we’ve probably all experienced men who are extraordinarily attentive and romantic in the beginning but seem to stop trying quite so hard once they feel the relationship is cemented.

‘The Rules’, that infamous book by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider does advise women to make men really work for their attention, not only in the beginning but throughout the relationship.  They advocate women act like they’re disinterested, remain cool and distant and never give too much away.   If you follow ‘The Rules’, the authors claim, you'll inevitably be the one that gorgeous man wants to marry.


The Rules was one of the first books to advocate women behave ‘like bitches’ to get and retain men’s attention.  Comedian and radio show host Sherry Argov’s  book ‘Why Men Love Bitches’ reinforced the same theme.   Sherry claims that ‘acting like a bitch’ really does work.  Why?  Because when a woman doesn't act too interested, a man's competitive drive kicks in and he will pursue her not only despite her seeming unwillingness, but precisely because of it.  Says Sherry, men love to practice their technique on pulling off a seemingly impossible conquest.
 

Sherry contends that many women are just too giving and too nice and this causes the man to feel he doesn’t have to try too hard.

  She doesn’t recommend that women have an abrasive disposition as such, merely that they should be and remain strong within a relationship.   Strong women don’t give up their lives for a man and they will never chase him. Says Sherry  "A little distance combined with the appearance of self-control makes him nervous that he may be losing you."  And so he’ll try hard and he’ll keep on trying.



But,  says Sarah Paul, author of  "How to Be Irresistible to Men"  "The Rules" advocate playing games with a man to keep him keen till you get that all-important marriage proposal, regardless of whether he is genuinely attracted to you for who you really are.  Surely, says she, if you have to hide your natural warm and friendly personality to attract a man then you’re not only subscribing to the idea that you’re not attractive the way you genuinely are but you’re also running the risk of attracting a partner who is not your natural complement and is only interested in the thrill of chasing after unavailable women or putting another notch on the bedpost.
