Download or read book Stuck on Stupid or Stuck in Stupid written by Linda Porter Harrison and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-02-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stuck on Stupid or Stuck in Stupid: (The 25 mistakes women make that prevent them from attracting and keeping true love) Is the partner book to: Think Like a Manand heres a thought: Start Acting Like a Man (The 25 mistakes men make that prevent them from finding and keeping true love) I have been pondering whether or not to write a relationship book for women for quite some time. After the release of my first novelTorn Between 2 Brothas and my first relationship book Think Like A Man, I received numerous e-mails and phone calls from women asking that I write a relationship book for them. Initially, I was taken aback because I never saw myself as a relationship guru. The irony is that Ive always been the girlfriend that everyone comes to when it comes to relationships. I dont think that it is because I have had the best relationships when it comes to men. Believe me; I have had a few that I care not to remember. I must admit, I kissed a few frogs before I found my Prince Charming. However, I do think that it is because I have always been optimistic and objective when it comes to love. Even when I have been in the midst of a tumultuous relationship, I have always been able to find my center, recognize my stupidity, and if not in that momentvery soon afterwards, get out of my circumstance. Afterwards, I brush myself off, evaluate the lesson learned and move on (something many women have trouble doing). Also, I try not to punish the next man that enters my life for the mistakes the previous guy made (huge mistake). For the last ten plus years, I have been paying close attention to the behavior of women and trying desperately to get a grip on why we continue to behave so stupidly when it comes to men. Is it that we just dont know? Or is it that we do know, but we choose to stay stuck in/on stupid? Youll have to answer these questions for yourself. Also, I interviewed men and asked them what things really bother them about women when it comes to relationships. Stuck on Stupid includes some of the most voiced concerns. After reading this book, ask your mate to read it and highlight the areas he feels you need improvement. I think youll be surprised. Dont worry, your mate wont highlight the whole book ?. Whenever youre in a relationship you have to be willing to grow and make changes. Its part of the process. Love requires it. Nevertheless, I hope that by the end of this book you will have gained some insight about your behavior and begin to make the necessary adjustments in your life to allow you to experience REAL love. Blessings, Linda

Download or read book You re Stupid and Shallow So Stay Single Ya Dummy written by Aimee Colbert and published by . This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The divorce rate is dropping according to recent studies and fewer people are getting married. This is exactly how it needs to be in my opinion. Marriage has been trivialized for so long in this country and it's time for it to stop. I find it very disturbing that a college professor won't even teach you without you first meeting a basic I.Q. requirement, yet we allow anyone to get married. Why are people getting married when they're obviously not ready anyway? There are loads of reasons... aweful reasons why they're doing it. They do it for money, status, preassure, sex, comfort, etc. Many of these people are not aware of them selves, are too immature to even be dating anyone seriously at all or suffer from mental issues that they have not properly addressed and therefore, the divorce rate is what it is today.It would be easy to assume that religion plays a big role in this or lack there of but that's not to blame in this issue in my opinion. It was thought that being "Christian" would mean a likelyhood of success in marriage but the truth is that Christians/believers are just as susceptible to divorce as everyone else. Why? People have issues and when people aren't aware of their issues or ignore them, their relationships fail... all of their relationships fail or suffer in some way. It's that simple.If you're a fan of reality tv shows such as "Basket Ball Wives", "Mob Wives", "Real Housewives", "Tough Love", "Bad Girls Club" "The Jersey Shore" "The Real World" or any other show that exploits their emotionally unstable casts members, you'll agree that certain people would be better off if they'd just work on themselves instead of getting into relationships. These people are a mess and though it makes for good television in some people's opinion, it brings to light that there is a need for self-awareness and emotional intelligence. These shows and those like them prove the point that I've been making for years. Some people are just too stupid and too shallow to be taken seriously in a committed relationship. The problem is that they don't know it and that is why I wrote this book.... ya dummy.
