BOY! Steve Harvey laughed all the way to the bank!
This book is not for the weak of heart, weak mind, or a weak spirited woman. My first thought of this book is this is for a very young inexperienced young lady ranging from 16-14. Mind you, I got this book from the library for my 19 year old daughter, and even she laughed at this book! and was not interested in reading it. So, I decided to read it for the heck of it. Any woman over the age of 24 should know some of these common sense things. You should know better than to give your "goodies" away, but this would be a woman's preference. Many women in this day don't mind casual sex.
I do agree that real men have a desire to provide, protect. I do believe a woman should never be so eager for a man she set all her standards aside. She should never compromise herself, and she should never be clingy. And I do believe from day 1 she should make her expectations known. No need to waste his time or hers.
There were only a few things I agreed with in this book, and most of it was just "filler" pages for instance the chapter on "Mama boys" WOW!!! Really Steve, it is a woman's fault eh. Well, I personally had a Mama's boy, and made it very known it was not acceptable and it changed nothing! but that is just it isn't the key word is BOY, I had a boy and not a MAN.
Ladies, use your common sense when dating, real men are real men. Boys are boys, you have to have enough sense to decipher the difference.
I went through the comments trying to find a man who read this book because I was interested in reading their point of view, interestingly I have not found one comment yet. I don't agree with how to get the ring, because if you set a standard for marriage and you are marrying a boy and not a man, you are setting yourself up for a failed marriage.
If you are with a man, and he has made it very clear about marriage, then you need to find the strength to move on and let it go. If I had set the standard for marriage, and please know I did, I was blessed enough that this man was so against marriage, I was blessed to walk away and saved myself a divorce!!!
Relationships are complicated, and really. both candidates should some if not all the same interests, goals, morals, and such. To me this is what makes a strong relationship. If you use your common sense than every thing will be ok.
Women who compromise, are the women who lose. So don't compromise, know your standards and stick with them.

This book is great if you are a heterosexual Christian woman seeking marriage as an end goal for your relationship. I am not a heterosexual Christian woman seeking marriage as an end goal for my relationship. A lot of the advice was outdated or had to deal with how to avoid your man cheating on you. If a man is going to cheat, no one can stop him.
He has some interesting insights into what make men tick, but I could do without the religious overtones.

I started this book years ago and just now getting to finish the book and times have definitely changed from when this book came out that some of the advice is not applicable anymore. But there is some gems to take away regarding a woman wants and needs and that’s it.
I listened to the audiobook. It was interesting. Many things we, as women, already knew but I still learned a lot about how men think. I believe the concepts may be applicable to any men. however, his views are a bit old and can definitely be triggering for many feminists, or modern day empowered females. So definitely go in with an open mind an remember that his opinions are just opinions, and doesnt mean it is applicable to all men or is the one way or the truth. I'm curious what men think. Is this an accurate portrayal?
This book was written by an old but I´m a nice guy type of boy. Absolutely disgusting. I feel bad for the women who think this is an excellent way to head into relationships: being the shame of wanting love and always having to agree to sex because he can and will get it from someone else.
I almost feel bad for men having to be in this type of spotlight, it's really degrading for women and men to have this type of representation out there.
I´m waaay too young to be a mother or even want kids so i don´t feel comfortable discussing that part of the book because i know nothing, but please beautiful women don´t take these pages written by a man who has no problem with his married friends cheating on their wives. It shows their character, they don´t give a shit about us other than sex.
Don´t even start when he blames the wife because his husband was a mommy´s boy= part of emotional incest. You men need help, therapy even, but don´t go blaming the other victims (wives) of that type of mothers in law.
I think my respect for this man changed in this whole paragraph alone. One of his buddies (in my head they are the typical locker-football players-misogynistic gay, because you can´t hate women that much and enjoy anal that much too) was cheating on his wive, she found out and left him with his son. So what do they do? This is what they do...
¨We even offered to take him to see the woman he had on the side, in hopes that at least getting some from her would make him feel a little bit better, but he refused her, too.¨
I laughed so hard one time only because in the hypothetical case that all women disappear they wouldn´t get laundry done and then... wait for it.... they will pass the time around going to the strip club........ Who are you going to see strip? MEN?!?!?!. that's gay dude. Or maybe Steve Harvey doesn´t see sex workers as women at all, just the other thing that's not part of his family or even his side chick.
Also... i think this was a little too much religion orientated. If that's on your priorities great, but as time changes not everyone needs a god to act accordingly and be loyal (his words not mine).
CONCLUSION: if you want to end up losing hope in every man on this planet with just hearing his little boy friends talk about the women they married like they are trash, read this book go ahead. If you are struggling with relationships please I advise you to go talk with your maneater girlfriend who would give you some really good advice.
This book is garbage, I wish you all the best (except for this fucking group of friends and their wives a divorce) I´m out.

every woman NEEDS this book
You have to read the words on the page & the words that are NOT on the page when reading this novel. There is something to learn, but there's a lot of foolishness in it all. Keep that in mind if you decide to read this book.
