I love poker! Especially Chicago, since I always seem to have the right suit without even remembering it. :D

I read all those and ten more. Men are like fish is useless, just saying. It's just self defense, don't like to be in FWB situations and be disposable. You feel free to keep walking.

The funny thing is in the vast majority of these articles/books you can replace he with she and vice versa! No More Mr. Nice Guy/ Why Men Marry Bitches. Are we more similar than we think? I have have my iwn theories that we are.

 

I have my own counters to any games. They're not obvious either so I think they work!

The only one of those three I've read is Why Men Love Bitches, and the author really just drills in that a woman should live her life for her, and put herself first. I think that's pretty good advice for anyone, regardless of gender.

Never read any of those, and I am a book freak.

 

Never knew men were "like fish."

 

Nutritious? Excellent swimmers?

 

Hmmm.

 

Probably why I ended up with the game-player, I never honed the power of the "mystical female mind-game."

 

Although, I am a reasonable poker player. First time I played, I cleaned out the whole table, including the group Casino Rat.

 

Can't play though, religious/moral convictions......

That is sad that your experiences have left you feeling that way. Very sad.

I didn't like that one.

 

Someone at a garage sale gave it to me for free with a steamer.

 

The major part I didn't like was her saying not to share sexual history. Or why you and exes broke up.

 

I think that's inappropriate.

Most books are saying the same thing, you need to respect yourself and have boundaries, ask for respect. Now, I can see how that doesn't sit well with some.

You just take away general ideas, you don't have to agree with everything one book says. I liked that one, it was funny.

And it still didn't make it a steamy book.

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't highlight the passage but the other thing didn't cross my mind.

 

The passage was that you feel like a walking hole for a man to stick his dick in based on some bad experiences with some men.

 

That is just very sad to be left feeling like that.

Not really. A lot of dating books deal with manipulation. The best way to deal with mindgames is not to figure out how to participate in power struggle, but to walk away. If a person is really into you they wont play games.

Yep - walk away. To do that comfortably I have to have more than one chicken in the coup.

 

I've tried to manipulate girls into having a relationship with me, and I've been manipulated myself in the same way - it never ends well and these days I just can't even see the point in playing such a game.

 

These days I make my direction as clear as I can. If the other person becomes divergent or tries to lever me in some way ... well, I just keep on walking the path .. they will either get over themselves or wander off.

I haven't read any of these books since self-help books are annoying.

 

What else is annoying is the usage of the word "bitch", whenever women are assertive. It's the same b/s that surrounds nice guy/jerk where the majority of times, the guy's not a jerk and the nice guy is far from nice.

 

The games people play, including the entire premise of this silly thread.

"From Publishers Weekly

As in her previous book, Why Men Love Bitches, <Sherry> Argov does not use the word "bitch" in a pejorative way, but rather "to describe a strong woman who has her own identity and is secure with who she is." And while encouraging women to be strong, independent and inscrutable is sound advice, the motivation behind this advice-to keep his interest-makes for a headache-inspiring contradiction......Though the generalizations Argov uses to describe her pre-bitch audience can at times be condescending, and her goals are more about acting-rather than believing-that you don't need a man to feel complete, the behavior she encourages is healthy and useful, even outside the realm of husband-hunting. "

 

My personal 'self-defense' is healthy feet and comfortable shoes.

Getting involved with a manipulator or a game-player is like nuclear war... the only way to win is not to play.

 

BTW those people who write those self-help books win, because they know there are plenty of gullible shmucks out there who'll buy that stuff and make them rich. :p
