Review

Guys,this is the book we need! I read this book and loved it. Thanks, June! -- Chris Sellick

From the Publisher

As men, my friends and I have often been mystified by outwardly attractive women who turn into a relationship nightmare after a few dates or after the marriage vows have been exchanged. I only wish we had a guide like this to help us avoid heartache, money, and time lost. Beauty and sex notwithstanding, these women are traps: They are incapable of giving your needs fair play. This is why they are called the Dirty Seven Sisters. You will recognize some or all of them, as you read this funny and witty treatment, including documented stories of female celebrities we seem to be so entranced by today.

All of us are driven by our genes to mate, an outmoded "matter over mind" state of affairs in the 21st century. "Mind over matter" rules science, technology, and more and more of all other human endeavors today. We are now able to directly manipulate genes, the blueprints of life. With this awesome power comes responsibility: To apply our minds to find the right mates. If we dont, we will let our genes and other minds (even computers, eventually) rule over us, as we fight or abandon our mates instead of building a happy and prosperous life for ourselves and our families.

You will laugh your way through to newfound wisdom as you read this book. My wish is that you enjoy and use it to the fullest.

Not worth the price of admission.

October 8, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Not for me. I am interested in the behavioral traits of personality disorders associated with histrionics, attention-seeking, and sociopathic thinking in female adults, and the way those affected use them to manipulate men, such as myself. This book is simply a ripoff purporting to edify a younger male's curiosity for the opposite sex's provocations to lure and trap for selfish intent. There is no information of verifiable value here. Don't waste your money.

Wished I had read this book a long time ago

January 3, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book was written for guys on how to spot and avoid selfish and manipulative women aka "dirty sisters." Let's face it. We men have been sold a bill of goods by the media and magazines that play on our need to have sex and find a lasting relationship. What they don't give you is a guide on how to find Ms. Right while avoiding Ms. Wrong. This book is that guide.

Contents include a list of the seven types of women, what their motives are, and how to avoid them. It even gives some celebrity examples for each type. However, I had one gripe: there weren't enough celebrity examples, but I guess that's just the gossip in me.

Caveat andro--let the male beware!

December 10, 2006

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I just read this book, which describes the "Dirty 7 Sisters," a collective title for the types of gals whom guys should avoid at all costs--complete with celebrity examples (Madonna, Naomi Campbell, Mariah Carey & many more). The 7 types are: the PMS Queen, Needee Nellie, the Material Girl, Shopaholica, the Wedding Belle, the Mom, & the Psycho Babbler. The emergence of such women apparently was a side effect of the Women's Lib movement of the past 30-40 years.

Don't get me wrong. It's a good thing for women to work the same jobs & earn the same salaries as men. It's just that with every good comes some bad. We guys have to second-guess the motives of the gals we date, just like they mercilessly analyze our intentions toward them. Just because sex is as scarce to us as water is to someone walking in a desert, doesn't mean we should jump at the first sign of water. That water may turn out to be salty or poisoned. Caveat andro--let the male beware!

Never saw a book like this for men before.
I also highly recommend these books:
1)"Date out of your league:for men only".By April Masini.
2)"U.S.S".By Leil lowndes.(means undercover sex signals).
3)"How to pick up beautiful women:secrets every man should know".By John Eagan.
You can find other dating books,etc from this site.

Required Reading for Young Men

August 9, 2007

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a behavioral treatise on the modern woman, not a pyschological study of how she got that way. When you say she has "issues", she's "neurotic", she has "baggage", shes "insane", all of the "types" are neatly catagorized here for your enlightenment. Of course there's combos and overlap of each variety as she states.

My biggest disagreement with the author is saying this covers only about 10% of all females and if you "try hard enough" you'll find a decent woman within the remaining 90%. Well, you shouldn't have to try that hard if 9 out of 10 women are not a dirty sister. In my lengthy experience with the women of the world I would have say it's the other way around or 9 out of 10 are in some way dirty (by her definition) and you have to work VERY hard to find the "one".

Sorry ladies you're all in there. Exposed in all your wacky glory. The mature, mentally stable, intelligent, balanced, rational woman is an exception indeed. Me, my friends, my relatives and every guy I've ever known; will testify to this. It's not our imaginations. Too many of us who took the plunge with a dirty sister live it every day. It's the reality and it's misery.

Married already? She's in there! Not married yet? Read this!
Life's too short to spend it with a nut case.
You were warned.

Delivers what it promises!

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I thought this was a great book that provided wonderful descriptions of various female personality types that should be avoided. In thinking back to some of the crazy ladies I've dated I found mixtures of the characteristics the author mentioned, rather than each type being singularly embodied in one of the seven types she describes. But she also states the same thing: that each of her seven dirty sisters descriptions is only a guideline. Nonetheless the author has a real knack for identifying human foibles and I think the book would benefit any man entering the dating scene. While, as she states, the majority of women are at least as reputable as the majority of men, because we men have the tendency to view women automatically as angels, it's good to know what to look out for and when to go on red alert. Another book, "That Bitch" carries this theme even further and I recommend it as well.
