Travis Stork, the handsome and charismatic star of The Bachelor: Paris, has chalked up more dating experience than most men could claim in a lifetime. As an ER doctor, he's also an expert on the psychological and physiological factors involved in mental and emotional well-being. In Don't Be That Girl, he combines his personal experience and professional expertise to help you demystify the self-defeating behaviors that characterize that girl -- behaviors that unfortunately, even if unintentionally, prevent many women from getting the most from their lives and relationships.
Don't Be That Girl cuts to the heart of what makes a woman cross into that girl territory and the red flags that tip guys off to the possibility that, yikes, they may be dating that girl. So who is that girl, exactly? She defies a simple definition. She may be the chameleon who turns into a completely different person the second a guy walks into the room. She could be the girl with the ironclad agenda that she's held to dearly since her first encounter with Modern Bride (and she'll do anything to make sure her plan materializes). Or she's the consummate "yes" girl who is always going along with his every wish. If she's not saying yes, she might very well be a drama queen who is always saying no because she can't seem to live without conflict. Then again, she might not be dramatic at all, just miserable inside, wearing her anger and bitterness as a badge of honor. In short, she's the girl who's trying fruitlessly to be someone she's not -- who's falling victim to the common pitfalls and patterns that lead to that girl behavior -- rather than believing in herself, following her passions, and maintaining healthy priorities.
But Don't Be That Girl isn't all cautionary tales and bad news. Often, the same traits that make a woman that girl are the traits that, at their core, are her biggest strengths -- if she only knew how to refocus them. By drawing attention to and celebrating these positive attributes, Dr. Stork reveals how to cultivate and take advantage of them in ways that will lead you to the confidence and happiness that you deserve. Whether you are in a relationship, hopelessly searching, or somewhere in between, this book will arm you with practical insights so you will never again have to ask yourself, Is it me or is it him?
Very cute. October 18, 2008 Sort of a tongue-in-cheek self help book with a humorous side for comic relief. Very cute!

THIS BOOK...ALTHOUGH FUNNY AT TIMES...WAS A WASTE OF MONEY. IT HAD ABSOLUTELY NO PURPOSE. ALL HE DOES IS POINT OUT THE KIND OF GIRLS GUYS DONT WANT, MEANWHILE AS YOU READ YOUR SELF ESTEEM LOWERS AND LOWERS, PAGE BY PAGE. EACH CHAPTER IS ABOUT "THAT" GIRL THAT YOU SHOULD NOT BE, HOWEVER, HE NEVER DISCUSSES HOW ONE SHOULD NOT BE "THAT" GIRL. AT THE END HE JUST STATES, JUST DONT BE "THAT" GIRL....WOW!!! THANK YOU!!! LOL HATE IT PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY.
Good Reading July 12, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this book for a single friend who was struggling dating, and she really found it informative with a little bit of humor mixed in. I've seen Dr. Stork on T.V. and just really thought he pointed out things from a male point of view. I highly recommend it.
Help For The Relationship-Challenged March 29, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book explores the reasons that some women seem to be serially unsuccessful in their dating relationships. It suggests that men recognize particular behavioral attributes in certain women, which sooner or later raise a red flag, causing these guys to run for the hills. The author identifies eight specific "types" of women and how their actions, words and attitudes work together to doom their every male-female relationship. Fortunately, by identifying these relationship-sabotaging behaviors, the reader is not only able to determine if they fall into any of the offending categories, but also what they need to do to alter their habits and general outlook to avoid continuing to be "that girl." Overall, it is an interesting read, and one I recommend for anyone who seems to have a long history of being "unlucky at love."
