Quotes from Sherry Argov

Act Like a Prize and You'll Turn Him into a Believer.

She can stand on her own two feet. So, instead of feeling as if he's lost his freedom, he feels as though he's gained a strong woman. The relationship is a contributing force, rather than

obligation he's stuck with. This is also why giving him space is so important. It makes you look proud rather than desperate. It enables you to remain a challenge indefinitely.

Don't give a reward for bad behavior.

Throughout life, people will try to shake your faith in yourself. When this happens, remind yourself that the only way they can succeed is if you allow it. When you walk down the street of life, always hold your head high and keep walking. Don't ever let anyone shake your faith in yourself, because that's really all that you have.

The same works in reverse. A beautiful woman can make herself look ugly in the eyes of a man if she is very insecure.

she has the ability to remain cool under pressure. Whereas a woman who is "too nice" gives and gives until she is depleted, the woman with presence of mind knows when to pull back.

There will always be people who will be there to plant negative seeds in your garden, if you make yourself available for that

One way to become much more interesting to a man on a date is to ask him intelligent conversations about himself. To a guy, interesting conversation does not include whether he wants kids... how much money he makes... or whether he sees himself getting married someday. It doesn't involve "feelings" or whether a celebrity is in rehab.

In their endeavor to score as much sex as possible, they'll tell women the opposite. Men know women feel pressure to be perfect so they 'throw them off the scent' with colorful stories to keep her focussed on pleasing him (short term). Like the one about how all his ex-girlfriends are supermodels. Or the one about his ex having sex with him ten times a day. (Clearly, a figment of his imagination.)

She "promises to love, honor, and appear to be agreeable some of the time.

Your time with him is telling. The nice girl sits in a chair after a week of knowing the guy, bored out of her mind as he does something that interests him. He may be watching sports on TV, cleaning his fishing gear, strumming his guitar, or working on his car. She is miserable but doesn't say a peep. Instead, she tries to make the best of it and twiddles her thumbs politely, just so she can be in his company.

He wants your search to be complete and thorough, because you are discerning and will not settle for second best. If you are in a hurry, he'll think: "She's insecure and needs to fill a void. She cannot be alone." "I'm just filling a position. She needs me to write checks for her dreams.

Many people lack the basic equipment to be in a relationship and there's nothing you can do to change it.

Si te visita una hora a la semana, esa no es una relación seria. Si no van juntos al cine, no se reúnen con amigos, no comen juntos o te dice "no soy persona de hablar mucho por teléfono" cuando no te llama, está claro. Los hombres tienen un comportamiento consistente cuando están interesados en una mujer. Raramente un hombre faltará a una cita con la mujer de quien está enamorado».

Bitch (noun): A woman who won't bang her head against the wall obsessing over someone else's opinion - be it a man or anyone else in her life. She understands that if someone does not approve of her, it's just one person's opinion; therefore, it's of no real importance. She doesn't try to live up to anyone else's standards - only her own. Because of this, she relates to a man very differently.

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

Whenever you are too worried about someone else's approval, that person loses respect for you.

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.

Anytime a woman competes with another woman she demeans herself.

Once you start laughing, you start healing.

Live by your own rules Move to your rhythm, instead of dancing to the beat of someone else's drum Decide how you want to be treated Choose what you will or will not tolerate Leave if you don't get what you want.

He must feel that you choose to be with him, not that you need to be with him.

Truly powerful people don't explain why they want respect. They simply don't engage someone who doesn't give it to them.
