Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment

Product Information

Another thing he does, is has women making lists of how she wants her man to be! Every girl in her right mind who has read a good relationship book knows not to make a "list" about what her "dream" man is. It's such unrealistic expectations to say you want a 100% gorgeous, funny, smart man. Steve Harvey is a comedian and radio personality. His book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man explains how men think and what they want in relationships. He gained this insight by interviewing callers on his talk show who wanted advice about their relationships with women. The author promises that by explaining the way men think, he can help women understand them better so they can have successful relationships with men.

In case you think I’m really on one, I'd like to point out that Harvey tells us that his inspiration for his 90-day no-sex-after-meeting-a-man rule came from a healthcare coverage policy at the Ford Motor plant, the very one where he got laid off from the assembly line. “If Ford won’t give a man benefits until he’s been on the job and proven himself, why, ladies, are you passing out benefits to men before they’ve even proven themselves worthy?” Uh, because health insurance and sex between two consenting adults are very different things, Steve? He looks after you. Harvey argues that a man who loves you will try to provide for you financially—and if he can’t, he’ll try to look after you in other ways, like by trying to fix your broken refrigerator. (Shortform note: In The 5 Love Languages, Gary Chapman argues that everybody uses one of five different “languages” to express and understand their love. The love language of a man who looks after you may be “ acts of service”: He expresses love by doing things that make your life easier.) I do think it's great that he advises to lay your expectations of a relationship out on the table and not to have sex for 90 days. Couples who want sex before they really know each other need to take the time to get to know each other first, but isn't this a pretty obvious point? In our humble opinion, anyone who struggles with relationships and wants to understand the core of men’s behavior should read “ Act like a Lady, Think Like a Man .” About Steve Harvey Providing is not only monetary, but it’s also about helping to fix things, moving stuff, or solving problems.

Before he figures out how to achieve his minimum goals in those areas he will be too busy to focus on you(and on family & relationships). I'm actually going to review this book as I read it. I actually find it very simplistic in dealing with relationships. Steve here deems men to be simple creatures who are all basically the same regardless of upbringing, culture or creed. He makes some really sweeping assumptions about both men and women. The fact that he assumes that all men are running some sort of game on us women tells me that he really does not have a broad view of people. To me the book sounds like the advice that a father gives to his girl child before he allows her to go on dates with guys, just to make sure that she is not duped into sleeping with them. To get the most out of someone is to make him/her aware of its urges. Steve Harvey implores people to accept the nature of the bond-building process and act accordingly.

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Thin…

First, Harvey notes, 90 days is enough time to weed out any men who are looking solely for sex. But if he’s solely interested in sex, his patience will wane before 90 days is up and he’ll leave. In contrast, a man who will prove his worth to you for 90 days without sex is a man who respects you and as such is someone worth investing your time in . From the title, I expected the book to explore the wonders of the human brain and explain the difference between males and females.

As Harvey notes, both men and women understand that cheating is wrong, so why does it happen so often? In this section, we’ll discuss why men cheat, and what you should do if your man cheats on you. Why Men Are Unfaithful He will defend you physically, from people who are disrespecting you and by doing things he deems too dangerous for you. 3. The Three Things Every Man Needs To prove that sleeping with him before 90 days is a bad idea, Harvey asks where are all the men you’ve slept with before 90 days. When a woman doesn’t provide for these three things, the relationship is doomed. 4. Talking Differences Overall, I recommend this book for those with an open mind and a need to understand our male counterparts a little better-just take what you need from it.
