Act like A lady, Think like a Man

Actor, comedian and radio-show host Steve Harvey was inspired to write his latest book, ‘Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment’ following a personal experience with his daughter’s boyfriend.

 When my daughter came down, we told her, and she wasn’t with his program.” Harvey’s daughter urged him to write a book. She said she had no idea she could ask the man she was dating what his plans were, and Harvey broke it all down. “A woman has a right to know what a man’s plan is for her,” Harvey said. “If the plan he has with you doesn’t match up with the plan you have for yourself, you need to make some changes. Trust me, every man who meets you has a plan. Even that brother in church who comes up to you saying, ‘Praise the Lord!’ has a plan for you. You need to ask him what that plan is.”

 “Men and women speak a different language,” said Harvey. “I just help decode what men are saying so women can understand it.”

who better to take advice from than a 50 year old school; player, he knows the game. I will definitely be buying this book.

 My favourite part from the book..

The 90 day policy.

The comparison is that when you take a new job, you have a 90 day probationary period with your employer before the benefits kick in. So before they invest in you with paid time off, health insurance, 401K... the employer wants to know that you are dependable, reliable, steady, loyal, on time, dedicated. And once you've proven it, you get the benefits.

 

So why shouldn't women (and men) do the same? Wait until he's proven his value before you offer up the benefits. 

"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" is a book you must read if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships.
