Why Men Love Bitches...

I know I've been through the self-help relationship books before but I am surrounded by single friends at the moment and recently one of the people closest to me has just been told for the second time in a relationship "you're just too good for me" (which is true by the way). So why don't men like girls that are too nice? 


Every girl I know who is an absolute bitch to their boyfriend, they fight, they argue, she ends up winning- ends up getting engaged. (I'm not saying all girls who are married or engaged are bitches, I'm saying the bitches always end up having the man fall head over cock for them). 


I was sitting in the back seat of my best friends car when I picked up this book called "Why men love bitches". I turn to any random page to find a paragraph about how men are hunters and they like the hunt. When they take down a powerful woman and make her fall for him they feel like they have accomplished Mount Everest. 


I have to agree. Everyone knows the 'Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen' phrase, but how do you keep them in the long run? What happened to the men who wanted to be cooked for, have their washing and ironing done and the woman who will sit with you when you're sick? I think this is just an old school want and need from yesteryear. 


The truth is men today want to be kept on their toes, they want you to go out with your girlfriends instead of sitting on the couch making them dinner. But it's a fine line.. an impossibly fine line involving many games. 

Another book I was given as a teenager is called 'The men in your life'. This book is written by a French woman who writes under different categories such as 'oaths' 'taming' and 'gigolo'. She also talks about the hunt and how to compliment the person you are most attracted to in a way that you will bag him for life. It's a great read with a non-Australian point of view... and to be honest, I do think the French have a point.
