Act like a Lady, think like a Man.


I just read this book yesterday and let me tell you ladies..it's an awesome book.
My favorite part was that it's OKAY to give your man an ultimatum for getting a ring on your finger. And just because you both live together and already have kids doesn't mean he shouldn't want to marry you or think about marrying you.
It talks about setting down requirements for your guy. There is nothing wrong with this. He SHOULD always treat you with respect, open the doors for you, pull out your chair when you go out to eat. All of this is not something that CAN be required from your man.
It also talks about why men cheat. Why do they cheat? Because they simply can and if they think they wont get caught then they will do it. Steve Harvey (the author) actually cheated on his wife and he talks from experience. Sometimes power makes it more likely for a man to cheat. Not only that ladies, also not giving him the cookie every night also makes a man stray. You go to work in a skirt and heels you should come home to your man in a skirt and heels and not dress down because you've had a long day and are tired. Pretty much look good for your man always!
Not only that, don't try to look like Beyonce, Shakira, or any other celeb. Be happy with how you look and confident in yourself. If you already have a man obviously he liked you just the way you are. Don't get me wrong you need to upkeep yourself like a brand new car. Put on some new rims and shine em' up every weekend. Get me?
Steve Harvey outdid himself with this book. I recommend it to every woman who feels they need the in's on how a man thinks. Pretty much a man likes a woman who acts like a lady under all circumstances. Who doesn't get drunk every time they go to a bar and he has to carry her to the car. That is not how a lady would act. A man wants a woman who can hold her own but can also let him be a man. That being letting him pick up the tab, letting him fix the lightbulb in your car when it goes out. A man wants a confident woman who loves him and supports him.
Reading this book made me realize I have a man who REALLY DOES love me.
