Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

Comedian Steve Harvey has written the #1 bestseller, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, and the premise is easy: men don’t think anything like women, and women should never rely on other women for guy advice.

Many accomplished women create miraculous lives for themselves – but they never seem to find a good man or be able to keep one. And it’s no wonder, because there’s a big fat, shared secret that men don’t want women to know: men are unbelievably simple opportunists who take advantage of the fact that over the years women have lowered their standards (Harvey's words, not ours!). The smartest of women may tell you that men think just like us, but never - ever - believe it. Nearly always, if you ask a man for “guy” advice, he’ll lie through his teeth rather than give you any real insight. But Harvey knows what he’s talking about, and he’s willing to snitch. Grab your highlighters, ladies, and prepare to take notes!

Here’s a sample of Steve’s advice: In order to exist as they do, men have created numerous terms that they feed women – such as nagging. Steve says, “There's really no such thing as nagging. As soon as a woman starts registering her complaint, we call it nagging. We let you know it will drive us away.” (We promise you’ll be surprised by some of these terms and how we women have bought into them.)

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is sometimes funny, but it’s unswervingly truthful -- a must read if you really want to understand how men think about relationships.
