      This seems too simple an approach to understanding men, but as Steve Harvey says, men are simple. There are some enlightening, common-sense points made here, very readable and with humor. You'll have to accept that traditional man/woman attitudes continue to exist, no matter how progressive you are. If you're having trouble attracting a good man, or understanding the one you've got, consider this as a potential resource.

      This book seems to tell us the male secrets and how we should deal with relationships or potential relationships. I for one intend to try it out because what i've been doing thus far hasn't really been working out for me. So what's to lose. He offers a lot of advice that I would tell my daughter as well.

      Comedian Steve Harvey of the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show shares with us his ideas on how a woman can catch and keep a man. He gives us a heads up (in case we didn't already know this) that most men are out for one thing only. There are tips on how spot a mama's boy, how to train your man and even answers the questions you've always wanted to ask a man but never did. I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. A lot of woman who've read this book have been offended or turned off by his thoughts saying that he's sexist. First of all he's a comedian not a relation ship guru but second of all there's a lot of truth to what he shares. If you start a relationship by letting the man run all over you that's what he'll do the whole time but if you put your foot down in the very beginning he'll either shape up or ship out. And no one knows this better than Steve Harvey... his wife did it to him when they first got together. Nothing I read was new to me but seeing it laid out like this by a man just kind of gives you a refreshing take on it. Harvey is direct at times but he's always honest with humor thrown in. And the book is not just for single women in the dating world but for any woman in a relationship or not. I was reminded of a few things I could do to improve my own marriage and I recommend this to anyone who wants to understand men better.

      This book has been sitting on my TBR pile for about a year and I decided to read this book now for a few reasons. One of the reasons is I had seen Steve Harvey on the Dr. Phil Show promoting this very book. Reason number 2 is with the problems I am currently having in my marriage I thought this book could possibly enlighten me about men. Now you know there is a third reason, always a third reason. The third reason is because I had read Maria Bastillo's book Act Like a Gentleman, Think Like a Woman, (Absolutely wonderful book), which was written in response to this book. Those are the reasons I decided to read Act Like a Lady Think Like a Man.So far I have to say this book is funny, informative and is proof that women are superior to men. Okay now that I have your attention you maybe asking yourself why I say women are superior to men. I will just say that is my opinion. The reason I feel that way is because from just reading 50 pages, I feel that men have no depth to their personalities. Women can handle a lot while a man can only handle 3 things and that is to Profess their love for you, (possibly only once in a blue moon), provide for you and protect you and that is it. Men think that is all that matters, those are important yet a true man can grow and learn to add more to their personalities. Women are able to achieve those 3 elements and also include nurturing, listening, friendship and we can also make sure you get the best damn "cookie" in the bedroom without thinking of ourselves. Yes that is how I feel from reading 50 pages.Now this book is written in 3 parts. Part 1 is the Mind Set of a Man. My first two paragraphs about sum that section up. Part 2: Why Men do What they do. I could say a few choice words or statements to answer this question but I will wait till late to voice them. Part 3: The Playbook: How to win the Game (Do we really want to?). By winning the game Steve is implying that all women want is the ring.So I have read part 2 and still I believe that women are superior to men. I also feel that men are very self centered. Now part two discusses Why men are the way they are. Well I will try to say this as nice as possible,Men don't think with their brains, they think with their... you know what they think with. In this book Steve Harvey "enlightens" women to the fact that men do what they do because they can. I have to say that is true, or better yet I will say me do what they do because they think they can. This section informs us that men only want one thing from women and I don't have to tell you what it is. Men also think about women in two ways either a Keeper or a Throw back. Also covered in this section is Why Men Cheat. From personal experience I have to say men cheat because they are a**holes, idiots, and only care about themselves. I do have to say that I found the cheating chapter informative and did help me in realizing that I don't want to be with a man who cheats. Once a man cheats he is always going to be a cheater. Even after being married for 21 years, he will always be a cheater. This section can be helpful if you are open to actually realizing that things about yourself, men and how you handle relationships.Now onto the Playbook, so that us women can win the true man of our dreams!!! I have to tell you I wrote in this book. Don't get mad or angry, I usually don't write in books but this section allows it and so I decided to do it. So that I can set my standards and get the respect I deserve from a man.The third section tells us how to get the final prize of the ring. Steve Harvey reiterates over and over again that men are simple beings. They don't think as much about commitment as women do. I found this section very informative in telling women what to do and not to do to gain the commitment they want. Women should not get into deep with a man before asking questions. Steve mentions 5 questions we should ask over a period of time and before giving up the cookie.There is so much a woman will learn from reading Act Like a Lady, Think like a Man. You will gain a better understanding of how 2 dimensional men really are. Now that I have read Steve Harvey's book I am hoping to try some of his suggestions mentioned in the book. I also found myself analyzing my current relationship which seems on the verge of a divorce. Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a wonderful book for all women to read.Remember Women to always act Like a Lady, because it will make your man happy!!!

      While working, a library customer approached me asking for this particular book. And at once, I was intrigued by both her interest and the title. Once I started reading, I thought to myself: “Where was this book when I was dating?” Steve Harvey offers practical advice for all ladies to the inner workings of the male mind; namely how they view themselves among other men and in society. In a nutshell, men view themselves in three categories: 1. Who they are, 2. What they do, and 3. How much he makes. And if he has all three things together, then he can focus on adding a woman into their lives.Harvey offers advice on how to be a “keeper” instead of a “throwback,” what 3 things men are looking for in a woman (1. Support, 2, Loyalty, and 3, the “Cookie”). But Harvey’s quote about the fear of failure really spoke to me. “The number one cause of failure in this country is the fear of failure.” This can be applied to roughly everything. But in context, he was talking about not being afraid to lose your man just because you’re afraid you’ll find no one afterwards.

      Mrg. A few kernels of wisdom here about the ways men and women tend to think differently about love, but mostly reductionist. And the tone put my back up.

      Some ideas in the book were interesting, but mostly he should upgrade his views on women’s roles.

      Excellent book. He gives a few tips to women with a comedic twist. He really reinforces the 3 P that men follow in life when choosing their future wife. He says you should wait 90 days like if you were in a job to give a man the benefits. This was an excellent book that I finished in almost one day.

      I greatly enjoyed this book, I thought the characters were quite compelling.

      Leading with the positive, he makes some good points and helps you realize the driving factors for men in general. What really bothers me is the chauvinism that's in this book.

      Ok, yes it's a good book and the movie was great because it's a movie that has all the parts of a great movie...makes you laugh first off and then touches you on different emotional levels. So finally listened to this book and honestly just makes me want to continue on the single path, have a handful of girlfriends, do the things I want to do and accomplish in life. You get to a point where there's no time for all those games and you know your worth. If there is someone who can compliment what you already have then great and if not we as women can do it all already.

      It's great book if your in the begining of relationship....but overall it just dont fit for middle east society
    • 2/5
      Has a very 2D view about men and women, some advice seems helpful but just overall lacks real depth.

      I had n the book for 10 years and never got around to reading it. The audio book allows me to finish it in 2 days. It was all the information I needed for dating and why certain relationships didn’t work and what to do next time. Thank you!

      The humour used and style of delivery of the content. Gives the element of fun in reading
    • 2/5
      If men nowadays still think that way, then I want to become a lesbian.

      While this book provides some good insights, other points are simply appalling and outdated.
