I've been recommending this over on BridalFilms.net an it's gotten good feedback, so I thought I'd post it here. My copy is on order so I can't say how good it really is.

Book description:
-------------------------------
Contending that some women are "too nice," comedian and radio show host Sherry Argov has written Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl-A Woman's Guide to Holding Her Own in a Relationship. "I'm not recommending that a woman have an abrasive disposition," Argov writes, "The woman I'm describing is kind yet strong. She doesn't give up her life, and she won't chase a man." Her sassy book is filled with scenarios and advice aimed at making women subtly stronger and self-empowered. Argov's principles, which range from the farfetched to the downright absurd, include "If you give him a feeling of power, he'll want to protect you and he'll want to give you the world" and "A little distance combined with the appearance of self-control makes him nervous that he may be losing you." The book, which has already been featured on The View and The O'Reilly Factor, should make waves with its controversial view of relationships.

A friend, knowing that I am in the wedding industry sent me this book by Rebecca Mead, who recently appeared on Good Morning America to promote it.

After watching the interview and reading through the book I am left with one conclusion, Rebecca Mead doesn't have a romantic bone in her body, also she doesn't believe that the average bride can say NO. Like someone with an ax to grind she finds the bridezilla's and dwells on their me, me me based behavior and uses this to paint all brides as if they are all budget exploding, badly behaved lunatics who can't say no to any vendor who comes along.

She also seems to think that we all have photographic memories and can recall in intimate detail everything we have been involved with over our liftimes in her attack on photography and video production. The video and photosof my sister's wedding is one of the things I treasure most from that day, that I have received. Not to mention I hardly remember anything except crying with my sister.

Rebecca Mead has an ax to grind over weddings, finding the most debase examples of bad behavior and the inability to say no to support her points. My recommendation is save the money you would have spent on her book and buy a $50 savings bond for the future. Bonds
