Rashida Reviews: "Men Love Abuse" by Tionna Smalls

You know Tionna Smalls from the Vh1 reality show What Chilli Wants. She was Chilli's no nonsense matchmaker who tried (unsuccessfully) to find her love. Before becoming a reality TV star, Tionna was a relationship coach and author of the book Girl, Get Your Mind Right. She followed up GGYMR with "Men Love Abuse" an advice book that tells the nice girls if you want to stop finishing last, it's time to change. 
I've had this conversation with my girls many times before and we all seem to agree that the title of this book is the absolute truth. Before Tionna wrote this book we all knew that the worse you treat a man the more he's going to want you. Tionna gave a book that was short, sweet, and to the point. Shed the good girl image to get the man you want. Times have changed. Men want a woman that is strong and confident. One that he can't run over and one who challenges him.
Tee also taught women how to demand the respect that she damn well deserves. Men have it way too easy these days. They're able to treat women like trash and that has to stop. We have to start holding these men to a higher standard.
I loved this book. It's a short but entertaining read. It gives some great advice and I suggest that all women read it. Click the book cover pic above to read a sample and get your copy.
