I read it and it is really a good book. The Author was featured on Oprah I believe last year.

It is not at all a nasty book about mean women. It is, however an empowering book that teaches women not to be doormats but dream girls. It teaches us to stand up for ourselves and to not set ourselves up to be misused by anyone, in a foxy kinda way!! Read it ....I really learned alot. I read the Attraction Principals at the back of the book as a refresher from time to time. My favorite pricipals are:

#6 It is your attitude about yourself that a man will adopt.

#9 If the choice is between her dignity and having a relationship, the cookiemonster will prioritize her dignity above all else.

AND FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVE SCORPIOS:
#68 In the beginning, the only thing you need to pay attention to is whether he keeps coming around, because he'll only be able to suspend or hide his emotions for so long.

#98 Be an independent thinker at all times, and ignore anyone who attempts to define you in a limiting way.

#99 Truly powerful people don't explain why they want respect. They simply do not engage someone who doesn't give it to them.(LOVE IT!!)

#100 The most attractive quality of all is dignity.

Read it, live it, love it!!

It stands for Babe In Total Control of Herself. I know the title sound a little harsh, but it is really a good book. I recommended it to my young adult nieces since they are seriously dating and setting the scene for possible long term relationships. I don't want to see them struggle with relationships...I want them to be empowered.

This book is soooo good that I read it twice! One cannot have too much knowledge. πŸ˜‰

Hello. I bought the book the day before yesterday and YES it is a great book and makes a lot of sense. I've started to apply it already. I also made me realize some of the wrong turns that I have made in past relationships.

Parallax...I ran into Parallaxita's twin brother, Paralaxitive in the book store line....he was telling me all about how his see-ster was gonna be smarter than before because of a book she had just bought. Interesting.

In his hand, he was holding...The Joy of Sex and Kuma Sutra.....I must say, you have a very adventureous family! Any more members we need to know about?

I agree whole heartly, a good relationship has to be 50/50. I love women who think , who will give and take with you tit for tat. Give me a woman who stands up for her self any time. I know I need to be put in my place ever once in awhile.

I would love to put you in a corner freebird. One of two things could happen, one you would want out and that could lead to my demise. Two are we both nude?
