What’s Your Opinion about Bitches?
January 5th, 2007 ·
Okay, so, I know two things: (1) I want folks who want Dating Roadkill updates to have an opportunity to receive them, and (2) I don’t want FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com to become *completely* eclipsed by Dating Roadkill. My heart has much love for both of my babies — my blog and my radio show. So, I’ve come up with a plan. For the run of the show’s series, Fridays at the FBC are reserved for Dating Roadkill posts. If you crave more juicy details about the show, you can always subscribe to Dating Roadkill’s feed and/or befriend the show on MySpace. And, now, because it’s Friday, here’s your lovely Dating Roadkill post …
Guess what? Drum roll, please . . . [insert repeated "buh-rum-rum" sound] . . . The woman who wrote the book “Why Men Marry Bitches”, Sherry Argov, will be the featured guest for the next Dating Roadkill. Woot! Woot! (Some of you already knew this from a comment left on my other post.) The segment “Bitches. Men Love Them” airs Monday at 10:00PM EST. But, ooh ooh ooh, guest what else? :) BlogTalkRadio just listed it as a “featured show” on their home page. YAY!!
So, remember when I asked you guys if you thought that men think bitches are sexy? Weeeelll, this is your chance to have your thoughts heard. Speak up. Call in & join the conversation. Really. Don’t miss out this one. If you can’t listen live, be sure to download the podcast and/or listen later online whenever you’d like. Click here to find out how to listen. Now, since we’re on the subject, for those of you who can’t call in (and for anyone else who would like to do so), share your thoughts here! Leave your comments, questions, or stories about this topic in the comment section. I’ll try to read a few of them on air. You don’t have to be witty, fabulous or a dating genius. You just have to be honest. So, come on, fess up … what’s *your* opinion about bitches?










Hi, I'm 

I’m planning on calling in so I won’t go into it. I have read the book and I’m skimming it again to make notes about things that I’d like Ms. Argov to, um, clarify. I promise to be polite and civil. I can’t promise that she will like what I have to say.
I’m really looking forward to this. A lot.
I’m glad that you’re calling in; thanks for supporting the show!!!
About Sherry Argov — and about Dating Roadkill and this blog and about life in general — things are most interesting when two or more people respectfully disagree. It keeps everyone on their toes. So, yeah, I welcome all callers whether male or female, supporter or critic.
I have read the book and TRIED to do the things listed but it was way to hard to be something I am not!!! I am still single though, so I don’t know if what she says is true or not. I do know that a lot of women that i know treat guys differently than I do, date all the time. Then again, they don’t always date the same person over and over…they go from relationship to relationship and I don’t want that either!!! I will be listening and have turned a lot of my myspace friends on to your show (see what you get for being listed in my top 2 …you had to come behind my brother LOL)!!! I can’t wait to hear the show now that she is on…because there has got to be a happy medium!!!
I’m supporting your show in spirit - but what with the time changes and all - it’s pretty tough to call in!!! Love your topics though! Keep em coming.
By the way? It’s so nice to finally have a reason/explanation as to why I’m still single: I’m not a bitch! (Okay - a little poetic license - but hey, you do what you gotta do!)
Good luck with the show.
This is my humble opinion on the topic. The more I think about it the more I’ve come to the conclusion that men and women have trouble understanding each other because we all want to find something magically different when really we are all the same. Woman love assholes and men love bitches. What it comes down to is that we all love our freedom and we want someone around when “WE” want them around and not the other way around. Plus, things/people are just way hotter when they’re unavailable. You know, when you want to buy a sweater and it’s not bad but then you find out it’s $500 and it gets way nicer!!
This is the other little theory I’ve come up with lately. Women get addicted to men like they are cocain (fast addiction and hard withdrawal) men get addicted to women like weed (slow and steady with a nice high). I know in some ways I have just contradicted myself, but hey, it’s my opinion.
I hate to sound bad here but.. What’s Dating Roadkill? I would like to hear more about your show. And thank you for coming to my celebrity blog, I really appreciate it!!
I haven’t read the book but I’ve been called a bitch (amongst other things!) by my friends on more than one ocassion! I am still single though…maybe I don’t have the right balance of the required bitchiness?
I read this REALLY well-written post a few months back which I feel expresses how I feel about all this much better than I ever can.
I wonder if this is about self-assertion. It’s hard to love someone who is self-effacing, because you can’t find her in the relationship - she has vanished. But a “bitch” is present as herself, and therefore lovable.
History Chic: THANK YOU!!! :-) I think my MySpace stuff is just listed in the order in which the requests came in. I didn’t really know that you could move them around. That’s cool. Now, about the bitch thing … I totally hear what you’re saying about the
happy medium” stuff.
Lala: I’m so sad that you can’t call in. :-( But, thanks for the good luck wishes.
The Genius: “Women love assholes and men love bitches.” In a way, that’s very very true. And, I like your cocaine / weed comparison. Maaaan, you guys all better call in. Or else, I’m gonna have to read all of your juicy ideas on air. :)
Shelby Stidham: No prob. Dating Roadkill is an internet radio show and podcast that airs Monday nights at 10pm EST. It’s based on this blog. You can choose to listen to the show live or listen later online later with streaming audio. Details are here: http://funkybrownchick.com/datingroadkill/
Darwin: I ***LOVE** * the link that you posted. THANKS!!
John: Yeah, I’m with you on the self-effacing stuff. It’s like, if a guy doesn’t like himself, why the hell should *I* like him??? :-)
Didn’t read the book, but nice guys finish last too, so if that’s what it says, I’m not surprised, and from what my friends tell me, they all married one, so there must be something to it…
Could that ‘bitch’ thing be related to insecurities, power and control? Powerplay is popular (more popular than anal?) Nothing better than a bitch beggin’ for bacon. Wow, suddenly I feel so macho. Who’s da big dawg now…
ErrorBoy:
Or in your case, more like a bitch beggin’ for a vienna sausage…
what, what
ErrorBoy: “Nothing better than a bitch beggin’ for bacon.” Are you kidding me????
Donna: Simmer. Simmer. :-) Remember the “be nice” rule. It’s the only one we have around here. Okay, okay, that one and “no self promotion”. So, yeah, two rules.
1. Thou shalt be warm, kind and fuzzy to the FBC & all fellow FUNKYBROWNCHICK.com readers.
2. Thou shalt recognize that there’s only room for one diva on this stage. No self-promotion.
FBC: I was… just had to think of that advert for dog food… “it’s bacon! (beggin’)”
