I just started reading Sherry Argov’s infamous “Why Men Love B*tches” after seeing it pop up everywhere and let me tell you, the hype is true. It’s like dating/relationships bible 101. In short, it teaches you how to stand up for yourself, have standards & boundaries, an inner world of your own, and not get played by men.

It’s an incredible book, filled with pearls of wisdom left and right, I would even go as far as recommending it for any lady reaching 20, not just those in the level up community. The sooner you read this book before entering the dating stage, let alone entering any relationships, the better.

I started reading it yesterday and already finished half the book. I will say, you need to be prepared to be fully honest with yourself and call yourself out on any unhealthy behaviour you may have had as well. I made my share of the mistakes mentioned in the book, but now I know better.

Ladies, let me know if I should share the top tips/advice that stuck with me. 📝📚

Valentine's Day Book for Each of the Girlies.

Meka Lee Valentine’s Day exposes three contrasting groups of girlies: the girls who love love and everything about it; the girls who’re watching the chaos, unaffected; and the girls who are anti-love and anti-romance (heavily justified in today’s era of dating).   But me? During the month of Loveruary, I’m the girlie who loves the spirit of romance. The movies. The decorations. The wine. And I…

Never wrestle with a pig. If you do, you'll both get filthy. But the difference is the pig will love it.

Currently reading Why Men Love Bitches by Sherry Argov, but I’m almost done with that (going to review it on here once done). Also reading I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy—so far it’s really great.

Speaking of books it's been a while since I've seen one of these posts going around & I'm curious so everyone could you tell me what you are reading rn in the tags please

Kobieta poniża siebie samą, kiedy porównuje się z inną kobietą. Nigdy więc nie zdradzaj, że czujesz się zagrożona, gdy do pokoju wchodzi jakaś atrakcyjna babka. Chyba, że chcesz, by całkiem przeciętna dziewczyna wydała się twojemu chłopakowi dwa razy ładniejsza. Nic prostszego: pokaż mu, że czujesz się zagrożona. Jeśli udasz, że jej nie zauważyłaś, doceni twoją pewność siebie i będzie zaintrygowany tobą. Wtedy nastąpi jeszcze jedna ciekawa rzecz. Nagle ta kobieta przestanie wyglądać tak dobrze. Ona ma tyle atutów, ile ty sama jej przyznasz.

lil Fallout piece for @/Argovation on tw! Thank you always Argo!

thinking about how utterly and completely and uniformly ashkenazi worldwide judaism really seems to be, and especially how current antisemitism focuses a lot on ashkenazi judaism and its stereotypes -

and the stark contrast with judaism inside israel... mizrahi judaism (which is on itself extremely generalizing - yemeni judaism and iraqi judaism and persian judaism and turkish judaism and libyan judaism and syrian judaism and the 100 other shades of mizrahi jewish cultures, each standing on its own, rich and unique), then ethiopian judaism, kurdish jews, sephardi jews, indian jews, old yishuv jews - it is so colorful, and it's everywhere. and each community stands on its own but they mix together with each other and compliment each other because they're all different flavors of the same people. so everywhere you see people put hummus and amba on their schnitzel and listen to shlomo artzi while going out for sabich/listen to zohar argov while going out for friday schnitzel challa (you wouldn't believe all the ways you can eat schnitzel) and put matza ball soup in bowls decorated with khamsas and evil eyes and everyone craves piping hot jachnun on saturday morning (gosh, jewish culture has really got a lot to do with food, doesn't it? or maybe i'm just hungry).

literally the majority of jews in israel are mizrahi. and the percentage of mixed mizrahi-ashkenazi families is massive too.

and no, it's not all butterflies and sunshine, inter-jewish racism exists and it's ugly and prevalent and a central topic in israeli socio-political discussions and activism. but still, israeli jewish culture is still SO global... sometimes i look at the way people (especially antisemites but not only them) present judaism - all ashkenazi and pale and solemn - and it just seems so damn... stale. (the fact that i'm ashkenazi myself makes it even more bizarre, and obviously ironic, but i'm very secular from a very secular household so we never really cared much about our own ashkenazism).

jewish culture really deserves better than any of that.

Most women are starving to receive something from a man that they need to give to themselves.

— Sherry Argov

CHOOSE YOURS CAREFULLY

That's the big picture, your happiness. And health. You should never care what a man thinks of you -- until he demonstrates to you that he cares about making you happy. If he isn't trying to make you happy, then send him back from "whence" he came because winning him over will have no benefit. At the end of the day, happines, joy...and yes...your emotional stability...those comprise the only measuring stick you really need to have.

- Sherry Argov, Why Men Love Bitches

If I could buy a book for all of the women I know and gift it to them on their birthdays, "Why Men Love Bitches" would be THAT book.

I have a TON of favourite quotes from the book and I will share them at some point but for now I want us to focus one thing and one thing only.

Our happiness.

We spent so much time worrying about how others see us.

We want to make our parents happy, our boss wealthier and our men satisfied. But where does that leave us.

Spread out on the side of the road like road kill. We thin ourselves out until there is no substance left and no life force to help, satisfy and make richer OUR OWN SELVES.

We hunt for the perfect partner and the perfect lifestyle without stopping for a moment to look within and say "This IS what I truly desire. This IS what I truly deserve."

Choose the company you keep carefully. Not just your partner but your general ENVIRONMENT.

Train yourself to tune out the noise from the outside or else it will destroy you.

XOXO ❤️
