			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Why is it that I have everything going for me except a satisfying relationship?</strong></p>
<p>This is a question I have often wondered sitting in a dark corner over a stub of my favorite ice cream!<br />
So, you can imagine my child like enthusiasm when I see a book title that clearly speaks to me!  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451158857?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=enhalife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0451158857">Smart Women, Foolish Choices</a>. Did I mention that I am a graduate with a stable career, but when it comes to men, I always find myself on the wrong side of fate. Yap, I think I fir the profile well!</p>
<p>I picked up the book for the store shelf and browsed through the book content. It was convincing and didn’t cost that much so bought the book. While I was leisurely reading it, I felt like someone had followed me around and written about my life. Seriously….</p>
<p>Written by two licensed professional counselors, Dr. Connell Cowan and Dr. Melvyn Kinder,  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451158857?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=enhalife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0451158857">Smart Women, Foolish Choices</a> is a valuable book on how to gage erroneous, futile mechanisms and thought processes that keep women in hopeless mindsets and equally hopeless relationships.</p>
<h4>What <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0451158857?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=enhalife-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0451158857">Smart Women, Foolish Choices</a> offers the reader</h4>
<ul>
<li>It clearly explains why women seem to be falling for the wrong men and why these wrong men seem to be so attractive and exciting.</li>
<li>It offers tips on how women can come into their own power and to take assured chances with the opposite sex.</li>
<li>It shows you how to confront and change your hidden, love-defeating attitudes and stereotypes, the difference between “love” and “longing”.</li>
<li>Personal assessment exercises, to test what you know and what you have learned after reading the book. These tests will help give you an idea of where you stand and what you need to focus on. These tests include The Patterns of Relationship Quiz, The Love Addiction Test, and the Satisfaction of Needs Test.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The one thing I didn’t agree about the book</strong><br />
In some parts of the book, it seemed as if the authors put the blame on women, suggesting the problem lies in the fact that women do not give men of who don&#8217;t appeal to them, a long enough chance. Bull****!!! <em>May be since this book is written by men, it may a bit biased to their own sex!</em></p>
<h4>Overall: Is <a> Smart Women, Foolish Choices</a> for you?</h4>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=enhalife-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=0451158857" style="width:120px;height:240px;padding-right:10px" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="left"></iframe><br />
I would recommend this book to</p>
<ul>
<li>Those who have been led to falsely believe that all men are commitment-phobic slugs and want validation to seek emotionally mature men that embrace confident, mature women for what they bring to the union.</li>
<p></p>
<li>Any woman who has found that she has a lot going for her, but can’t figure out why her relationships with men always end in disaster. You will gain is knowledge, insight, and the chance to practice self-reflection.</li>
</ul>
<p>
I must also highlight that you can’t just read a book and expect things to automatically improve. YOU must do the work, and only YOU can make the changes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 360px"><img alt="Be The Woman Men Adore And Never Want To Leave" src="http://www.dumpeddays.com/wp-images/Woman Men Adore And Never Want To Leave.gif" title="Be The Woman Men Adore And Never Want To Leave, yeah right" width="350" height="259" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Be The Woman Men Adore And Never Want To Leave, yeah right</p></div><br />
Love can bring so much happiness and joy to your life, but until you learn to catch the attention of the right man and make him fall in love with you, or learn to understand the man you&#8217;ve already got, it is like you are on the outside looking in. I guess no matter how skilled, sexy, or educated you are, understanding men are always a daunting task! (I’m sure you’ll agree!).  </p>
<p>When I found myself single again <a href="http://www.dumpeddays.com/being-dumped-the-truth-the-half-truth-nothing-like-the-truth/">after being dumped</a> in 2008, I dove into a series of relationships with men that started out strong, but eventually fizzled out. If you are a woman you would know how frustrating it can sometimes be to make a man fall in love with you;  especially if you don’t  know what you need to do or what you have tried did not work.</p>
<p>I skimmed through some online articles that offered relationship advice and came across, <a href="http://f06a3etlvfmm3u4dm4idb02pdn.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=21">The Woman Men Adore and Never Want to Leave</a>. I am skeptical of any product that claims to improve my love life just hours after trying them. However, I purchased this for the following reasons.</p>
<p><b>1. Full money back guarantee</b>. <i>I thought to myself, if I am not satisfied with it, I can still get my money back and won’t lose anything.</i></p>
<p><b>2. </b>The ebook is written by Bob Grant a Licensed Professional Counselor, therapist, and relationship coach of 17 years. <i>Of all the relationship guru’s out there, Bob Grant seemed authentic and he is qualified to give relationship advice.</i></p>
<p><b>3. </b> One chapter was provided for free at <a href="http://f06a3etlvfmm3u4dm4idb02pdn.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=21">the official website</a>. <i>I got a good glimpse of what I might be paying for.</i></p>
<p><b>4. </b> As a bonus they offer free 15-minute private telephone consult with Bob Grant. <i>While the book contents would be “general” I want to get some advice related to my specific experience.</i></p>
<p><b>5. </b> They have a very convincing sale page!  <i>I don’t usually let marketing gimmicks trick me into buying things. Since there was a money back guarantee, I went on to purchase it.</i></p>
<h4>Overall: Is <a href="http://f06a3etlvfmm3u4dm4idb02pdn.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=21">The Woman Men Adore and Never Want to Leave</a> worth Reading?</h4>
<p>The book promises to offer value to just about any woman by revealing how to use tools and assets that they already have to attract the kind of man they want or to improve their current relationship. Beyond the hype of the book title, the question remains as to how much of it would actually be delivered.</p>
<ul>
<li>I realized that many scenarios were based on real life and bases the conclusions drawn on feedback received from those who have tried the author’s relationship advice and found it to be successful for them. </li>
<li>I must admit that there were some things in the book that I already knew. However, the ideas and methods suggested to turn around this situation seem quite rational and sound. </li>
<li>The one thing I found annoying was that the book implies that the woman just has to mould herself into what the man would adore! </li>
<li>When reading this, you must keep in mind that the book only shows you what men generally want.  The man you are after may not want the same things! </li>
</ul>
<p>All things considered, the women men adore and never want to leave, is a enlightening ebook filled with relationship advice for the woman who wants to learn how to influence a man, what increases confidence, what men are attracted to, how to relate to men, how to share their feelings in ways that men will actually listen and respond to, and how to get men to start giving you what you need.</p>
<p>So, if you are someone who is looking for ways to make a man fall in love with you or trying to understand the man you’ve already got, you might want to give this book a try and <a href="http://f06a3etlvfmm3u4dm4idb02pdn.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=21">Become The Woman Men Adore And Never Want To Leave </a>!<br />
