It starts going very left on the chapter about gossip and never makes a full recovery. I don't know one man who actually behaves like this to a T, I've only ever seen them in American media. The prompts he gives on what to say to men will have you sounding like you're on the spectrum, and somehow everything is the woman's fault? It's like men are made of pure evil and have no choice but to do their worst time and time again, and it's up to women to tell them to please treat them like a person. I did a bit of research on the author since he mentioned previous marriages, and on how they failed, now a lot of things add up
"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man" von Steve Harvey
Deutscher Titel :
Frag einen Mann: Wenn du mit Männern glücklich werden willst
US-Kult-Comedian Steve Harvey erklärt endlich, wie Frauen den richtigen Partner sicher auswählen und langfristig eine glückliche Beziehung führen können. Frauen begehen alle den großen Fehler, in Beziehungsdingen Frauen um Rat zu fragen. Aber wenn es um Männer geht, kann nur einer wirklich helfen: ein Mann. In diesem Buch lässt Steve Harvey Frauen tief in die Männerseelen und ihre Mentalität hineinblicken und verrät die besten Strategien, wie Frauen die widerspenstigen Chaoten endlich bändigen können.
Dieses Buch habe ich mir gekauft, weil ich Steve Harvey unheimlich gerne in seinen Sendungen sehe. Ich mag seine coole, lockere und humorvolle Art. Er bringt mich wirklich zum Lachen. Ich hätte jedes Buch von ihm gekauft, egal welches Thema es gehabt hätte. Nun redet er über Beziehungen und das ist so im Moment nicht wirklich mein Thema, aber man weiß ja nie, könnte sich ja mal ändern.
Humorvoll und locker ist es auch in seinem Buch. Oft hat er sicher auch Recht, zum Beispiel wenn er uns Frauen erklärt, wie Männer 'ticken' (Das 'Profess, Provide, Protect'-Prinzip leuchtet ein). Aber in vielen Punkten ("The Cookie", "Why men cheat" ist leider besonders billig und armselig... auch zu dem Kapitel 'Strong, independent and lonely women' würde ich ihm gerne ein paar Takte sagen) hab ich beim Lesen gedacht, 'wie gut, dass ich Single bin'. Im Grunde ein pauschaler Beziehungsberater wie jeder andere auch.

Some insight. Some stuff I don’t agree with. Some stuff I get to sit and think about.
I can appreciate the perspectives given in this book and though at times, this seemed a bit old-fashioned for me it made some very good points.
Emily recommended this and I thought it was a fun and fast read with some good practical, old school advice. I didn't agree with every thing he said, but then, I'm a woman and he is advising me to think like a man.
When this first came out I read a hilarious excerpt online. Unfortunately, the whole book was not the same in that regard. Bummer. Don't waste your time.
I read this in the fall, when I was seriously confused about men, upon the recommendation of an older friend. It's a quick read...good for waiting rooms or short bus rides. It's not really amusing, but some of the "tips" seem alright. It's a lot like the He's Just Not Into You book, only written from an older POV.
My advice: throw out the dang advice books and talk to the person who's perplexing you. This whole trying-to-figure-someone-out crap is usually a sign that this other person isn't ready for a relationship that's healthy. If you're being driven crazy, drive somewhere else. Oh, and find a few sane guy friends to tell you when it's not just you being a nutcase.

I had a lot of preconceived notions before reading this book, so in order to be fair, I read it, took notes, and completed it in order to come up with an actual opinion on his writing.
This book was a very quick read, I read it in just a few hours. It was an easy read, and as most reviewers said in disappointment, it isn't funny at all. It's more of a self help book for women aren't dating good men who would like to find one. He also suggests that women in relationships read the book as well, but that was just a sales pitch. If you're in a good relationship, this book means nothing to you.
First and foremost I want to say that most of my thoughts were untrue. I thought this book would be manipulative and a way to get women to change in order to suit men better. However, this book was actually about how women can realize the difference between a good man and a man who isn't right for them. I can't really argue with that.
The book was also catered to Christians, claiming that if a man does not love God, he cannot love you. This isn't something I particularly agree with as I do not believe that you have to have a devout sense of religion to have civility and good morals, but if it helps someone else, more power to them!
Aside from the periodical misogynistic blanket statements suggesting that we, as lowly, pitiful and meek women, in need of protection and security, just have to understand men and stop aiming for everything we want in a relationship and settle so that a man can fulfill his satisfaction, the book was common sense to me.
Nothing about this book turned a light on or made me realize something I hadn't known before. Some very good points were made that I think would help some women but I find it hard to believe that anybody would be so naive that they would think this book was in any way informational.
Then again, I'm not a fan of self help books.

I just finished this audiobook and honestly it was funny and light hearted in some parts, but had a lot of problematic elements. In particular I find the metaphors equating women with objects or food uncomfortable and degrading. It also feels like this book is made as an apology for problematic behavior of men. The book is directed to women, and it continually puts the pressure on women to require men to change rather than any intrinsic motivation or understanding from men and their own development of ideas surrounding masculinity. In addition the use of the word cookie to relate to sex feels creepy and immature. It again emphasizes devouring women. In addition, his commentary that men cannot find women attractive in flats, that heels are really what men find sexy made me roll my eyes, and stare at my lovely flat shoes. There were many other comments that I found unhelpful or disappointing, and the book ended abruptly with strange statements and no real conclusion. Overall I still appreciate Steve Harvey but am going to pass on his love advice. Y’all have any relationship books you would recommend? #bookstagram #booklife #books #bookreview #audiobooks
