I was wondering if anyone has read Steve Harvey's book. I am in the middle of it and it is helping me understand my mate and men in general SOO much more! The topics that he touch makes so much sense. I would recommend this book to any and every female.
 
My bookclub is reading it but I haven't received it yet (ordered from ebay). I hope that it's a good read. I'll weigh in once I've read it.
 
I read it and it was pretty good. It would seem that much of that information is common sense, but I found myself having :thought: moments as I read through it. :yep::lachen:

That book is great. A lot of women state that it is common sense, but a lot of it is not. The book is very different from the book"He's just not that into you". As women we sometimes think we know it all, that a man is suppose to act and feel the same way we do etc... :nono:But unfortunately it does not work like that. Men and women feel and act differently towards situations. And they express their love differently

The book has made me look at my mate a bit different and help me understand him/ men more.:yep:
 
I liked it too. Besides the fact that Steve Harvey calls sex "cookies." I live in the DFW area and listen to his radio show in the morning, he has the "Strawberry Letter" and also he hooks up blind dates for the 30+ crowd and has the couple come on to review their date etc.
 
I guess I'll purchase the book this weekend.. For the most part I like his advice especially when it comes to men and his strawberry letters...

What about the book makes you say that it's very different from He's Just Not That Into You?
 
So i found a website that lets you preview the book. It shares about 3 pages of the first 10 chapters... omg, I'm going out to get this book tomorrow! I wish I was still dating someone to apply this to, but that's why I decided to buy the actual book instead of a e-book copy. I enjoy the style of his writing and the personal stories he shares. At the beginning of the book I thought he talked about his job/radio station too much but the other chapters offer something different. I don't really care for the "Three Things A Man Needs" and "We Need To Talk" Chapter... those seem like common sense. But I am super excited to read the other chapters.
 
I have it, and I love it. One story hit home to me. It was the one about Steve Harvey's daughter bringing her "boyfriend" over for dinner. The girl left the "boyfriend" in a room alone with Steve and his father-in-law. FIL asked the guy what his intentions were with the girl. The guy didn't really understand. FIL pressed the issue until the guy said that he and the girl were "just kickin' it." Steve says in a relationship, if a man is not serious about you, then there's always somebody being kicked, and that you, the woman. The girl came back into the room, and they informed her that the guy was not her boyfriend and that they were "just kickin' it."

About a week or two ago a guy who I had been getting to know who seemed really interested in me contacted me again after breaking up with some other girl after telling me that he was not ready for a relationship. Yeah, I already knew that he was not ready for a relationship with ME and then jumped into one with some other girl. He called me and asked me to do something together stating that we haven't "kicked it" in a while. It reminded me of Steve's book. I did not want to be the one getting kicked again, so I've declined all invitations to do anything with him. Woosah!
 
So I was in my university's bookstore yesterday... and they are selling this book next to the check out line! There was half a wall of 'em and only three books left! Guys on campus better watch out! :lachen:
 
Steve Harvey is my main man! I read the book and liked it, I'm bout to read it again and take some good mental notes this time. It also helped me understand the male species better and why they do what they do...Hopefully my mind will be better equipped for my next relationship...
 
I read it. I liked it. I don't think it was common sense at all. I think they were things that I probably would have eventually learned from trial and error so I gotta say I'm glad I read at 21 rather that 40.

I'll be honest and say that there are a lot of things that I just didn't understand about guys and their behavior. If sometimes you just find yourself doubting yourself and confused because of a man's behavior I think that the book will help clear up some things.

I didn't have any brothers so there were lots of things I didn't understand about male behavior. I have a wonderful father, but he's just that: a wonderful father.... nothing like any of the crazy young men I always found myself dealing with :nono:. People always wanna say "drop that boy, you can do better" but when feelings get involved, its just not that easy :lachen:. The book help me to see what I need to avoid in the first place to prevent that situation from happening. I definitely appreciated the added insight. :yep:
