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? | | | |

 I Do Not Understand the Bad Reviews Aug 13, 2010
I almost did not buy this book based on the bad reviews but I got it very cheap, so I decided to try it for myself. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book! This is the only relationship book I have ever read, and aside from awkward sentencing structures, I found it very helpful. My friends and family think it odd that I have not had a serious relationship despite being a successful and attractive 20 something. Before reading this book, I decided that I rarely date because I am too busy with my demanding career in politics, balancing my hobbies of art, music, and horses, volunteering, and seeing my friends and family in my little free time. I convinced myself that no man, and most men my age are still very immature, would want a girlfriend who has no time for them.
Dr. Stork's insight helped me realize that I may be keeping myself busy because I am afraid of letting anyone get close enough to hurt me, including friends. Honestly, I never realized how much I use my career as an excuse to keep people at an arm's length. I keep all my struggles and secrets to myself, because in politics, everyone really is out to get you. However, I now realize that if I want to have healthy friendships and get married one day, I need to learn to trust people. That in and of itself drastically changed my life. I will no longer use work as a crutch to avoid finding someone who will love me just the way I am. Thank you Dr. Strok!
As far as the bad reviews, they are probably unable to accept that their relationship troubles may actually be part them. Quality men are not seeking someone desperate to force a relationship. The main point of the book was to be confident in who you are and not who you think men want you to be.
 Hmmmm people a little angry huh? Jun 10, 2010
I'm going to make this short and semi-sweet. Any person giving this book a bad review probably falls under many of the categories listed. I admit to relating to many of the things listed. I don't care about a guy falling for me or what, but this book helped me realize parts of my life I could improve--FOR ME! A little bit of tough critisism and girls go off the wire, huh?
Take a good hard look at yourself ladies. There are probably many things that could be fixed within you that you're too oblivious and naive to see.

Is Great and an Easy Read May 23, 2010
I bought this book without reading any reviews about. I didn't want other peoples judgment to cloud my own judgment. Since I got it I have been reading it...I learned things that are like warning signs to me now and I've learned somethings about myself. It's an easy read and not complicated to understand like some books can be. And even better...it's from a guys point of view. There are some females that don't see the things that they are doing in their relationships wear they can be the Yes Girl, Agenda Girl, Desperate Girl, Working Girl, and more. This book as given me a look at what I don't want to do. I want to find that Mr. Right for me and I believe that if I use parts of this book to guide me on what not to do...I will be headed on the right path to finding him.
Like I said before, this book is from a guy's point of view and honestly...I won't have it any other way. I, as a female, want to know what a male is thinking and what their red flags are in a relationship. Reading this book has definitely opened my eyes a bit about what some women do in the relationship.
The way this book should be looked at is as warning sings. If your one of the girls that Dr. Travis Stork describes in the book and you have found a guy that is really into you because of all that is listed in his book...that's great!...but there are guys that don't like those things and start putting up their red flags. I think this book is just a great guide...and that's all it's ment to be...a guide.
Some people have posted that Dr. Travis Stork is not such a great guy or a nice guy...I going to tell you the opposite. Dr. Travis Stork is a very nice, charming, sincere, and great guy. I know it for a fact because I have met him in person and spent time with him, just talking. He's a very relaxed, layed back, cool kind of guy. I felt very comfortable talking to him. If he wasn't the way he was...I would have not been comfortable at all. I had such a great time talking to him.
Light hearted read for the open minded reader May 04, 2010
I picked up this book at a bargain price for the pure whim of it. Recently going through a life trauma that caused me to make positive changes in my life, I knew it wouldn't hurt to at least read the first chapter or two.
I was hooked. While I couldn't relate to some of THOSE girls, there were several that were a definite mirror of my thoughts and actions. I found the book to be positive, witty, and charming. It was a fun and quick read that I have recommended to a lot of my girlfriends. The book is not intended to insult or belittle you, take the information and critique in stride. Just enjoy it!
Essential and seriously misunderstood Feb 07, 2010
This short read is essential to any woman who is serious about making herself more attractive and more desirable to the opposite sex. It is unfortunate that the one and two-star misguided reviews, in which the reviewers either assume too much by reading between the lines the things that the author never intended to convey, or by missing his main points and getting stuck on that which is collateral, will discourage people from getting and reading this book.
This book describes in a short, entertaining, witty and compelling way a number of common types of girls that you - single woman - don't want to be, the kind of wrong men these types of girls attract and how you can stop being that girl. This book will not cure all dating and relationship ills, but since being aware of a problem is a first step to fixing it, this book will be a great help to identifying and fixing that problem.
Most women get nowhere with quality men because they belong to one of the categories that the author describes in his book. By simply being aware of these types, any woman can work on avoiding being a member of any of those categories, thereby increasing her chances of finding a great relationship or a partner for life.
While some of the types of girls described such as the Drama Queen or Yes Girl are somewhat obvious, the "Working Girl" type is so brilliant and so relevant, especially during these times when so many books mislead women into believing that being a b-tch pays off.
