Reciprocity would be ideal

If only there were honest, and an accurate review of men for women, there might not be a 50% divorce rate.

Caveat andro--let the male beware!

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!

Required Reading for Young Men

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.

Some men like em...some don't

Unless the reader has had experience with the types of women that are described in this book, it might be difficult to believe that such women exist. Certainly there are women in the real world that share some of the characteristics of the "Dirty Seven Sisters" that are described in gritty and somewhat vituperative detail in the book, but these women can develop relationships with men in a manner which might be loosely described as "symbiotic". Some men in the upper income bracket for example may find the "Material Girl" very suitable for a long-term relationship. Such a woman, due to her need for money and material status, will do most anything that these men need, including engaging in the type of sex they desire and in serving as arm-candy for various outings on the town. The money that they spend on the "Material Girl" is viewed as a mere entertainment expense. Some wealthy men therefore prefer the "Material Girl" and will not heed any advice to avoid them. The same goes for the rest of the "Dirty Seven Sisters": some men, because of their tastes and outlooks, however peculiar to external observers, may prefer being subjugated to "The Mom", or having a temporary fling with "Shopaholica." Personal tastes dictate some strange combinations of partners at times, but these relationships can also evolve in ways that are not predictable, due to the tensions of life and the particular contexts in which they find themselves. In that respect the author finds the personalities and neuronal synapses of the "Dirty Seven Sisters" fixed in time and unchangeable. But it is rare to find a human being who does not and cannot adapt themselves to new challenges and new outlooks. The author though does not admit the possibility of change in these women, who she views as the most despicable of the female human species. This reviewer agrees somewhat with her assessment, but others may not, and again, may view these women as highly desirable, even knowing in full their "wickedness." The author, and the reader, should remember that good character, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

In addition to the author's purely subjective biases against the "Dirty Seven Sisters" there are other problems with the book. One example is her claim that only ten percent of women qualify for admission into the club of the "Dirty Seven Sisters." Years of research and observation she says, leads her to this conclusion. The largest contingent of these women exist in the developed countries, with only a small number, if any, residing in the "Third World". She does not offer any statistical studies substantiating these claims, and no references are given that would shed more light on her claims. The reader should really not expect this however, for this book is really aimed at those who are looking for the type of woman that the author would characterize as "good." Those who enjoy the company of the "Dirty Seven Sisters", whether this is because of sex or some other form of entertainment, would perhaps welcome the presence of a statistical study in the book. This would allow them to estimate their best chances of finding one of these women, or the best places to find them.

reviews: page 1, 2

The author teaches men to use their brains first to recognize the unsuitable mates who make up the Dirty Seven Sisters. To better illustrate each type, she includes celebrity examples, such as Angelina Jolie, Anna Nicole Smith, Brooke Shields, Cher, Dr. Laura, Jennifer Lopez, Joan Crawford, Julia Roberts, Kate Moss, Kathy Lee Gifford, Lorena Bobbit, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Marilyn Monroe, Meg Ryan, Melanie Griffith, Mia Farrow, Monica Lewinsky, Naomi Campbell, Tonya Harding, and many more.

Celebrity weddings and TV shows only underline the superficiality of some mating practices. As the author says:

"TV shows like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, Change of Heart, The Dating Game, Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire, Joe Millionaire, Married by America, and Blind Date present a kinder- gartner's eye-view of dating. A man spends a few minutes with an attractive girl, surrounded by cameras, and they are now ready to get married and have children together. What if one of these beauties is a Dirty Seven Sister? We do not see that part, because it is always off camera."

Who are the Dirty Seven Sisters?

The Dirty Seven Sisters are the women, who because of their underlying personality and character flaws, bring unhappiness and chaos into men's lives once they bag their prey. Marshall warns men to move on from them, regardless of their sexual needs and genetic impulse to have children. These women may be sexy and attractive, but they don't have the potential to be true life partners. She bares their character traits that are impossible to live with, why they are impossible, and tells men what to do about them. Conversely, she also describes the excellent qualities of a good mate.

True and Funny

Marshall's humorous take on the absurdities of today's dating scene does not hide her seriousness to revolutionize our approach to dating and mating, which produces a divorce rate of over 50%. She says, "This field guide will give you the tools to recognize and avoid the noxious and obnoxious females who are like Angel of Death mushrooms, beautiful yet deadly. Lesson #1: Beautiful does not necessarily mean good."
