I love this book! It really helped me to understand how men thinks in terms of love. Made me realize and reflect my past experiences and how to deal with future experience!

im going to start treating every man ever like dirt on my shoe.
DNF. Saw a lot about this on tiktok and for some reason thought it might be fun - it was not. Maybe it's a generational thing, but he mostly tells women: this is how men work, so adapt to them and don't expect anything more.
Steve Harvey is Definitely A Comedian, as he proclaims in his book,
Steve Harvey: Comedian.
I did find the book rather quite hilarious, that much I can admit: Funny Guy, This Steve, Funny Funny Guy.
He spent a great deal of words justifying cheating, and men's seemingly primitive desire to mindlessly fornicate, apparently they want sex more than anything in this world and you shouldn't withhold it as a woman regardless of what is going on.
Fascinating.
I do think the title of this book is a tad bit misleading, because the context is definitely something along the lines of,
"How men operate and how you should tolerate them."
Apparently, he knows people whose marriage improved after the man cheated.
Wowzers!
This book was written before the popularity of social media, especially Twitter, but this is how (black) males sound like on Twitter, when it comes to sex & relationship discourse.
So you could read this book, or just scroll through Twitter.
You aren't missing out on much.
Ok, maybe on Steve Harvey's humor and comedic talent.
You can read it for a good laugh, okay, but intel? Nada.

I saw this book at a store and thought it looked interesting. I've honestly never heard of Steve Harvey until I started reading this book. It is very insightful. Some of the things I found out made a lot of sense. Some stuff I already knew but hadn't really thought about,(such as the three Ps).
There is one point I have to argue though, and it's "men are simple creatures". I beg to differ, I mean it was a quick read but if men were such simple creatures then why would women need to read a book about how they work at all? Wouldn't women have figured it out by now?
I'm glad I read this book now since I haven't gotten into any serious dating. I know what to avoid and what to look for. It's funny, straight forward, and insightful.

Steve Harvey gives some solid advice on relationships in his typical comedic style. Chapters like "Men Respect Standards- Get Some" deliver down-to-earth guidance on how to improve your lackluster love life.
Harvey has a very specific intended audience, though, that I don't think I'm necessarily a part of. He seems to aim for women who are looking for a serious, committed, relationship (i.e. the ring, stat!) and often, women with kids. He's all about self-respect, which I like and appreciate, but at the same time, he makes some comments that are somewhat degrading to women. Instructing women to act LESS strong and independent in order to make their men feel needed doesn't strike me as the best advice for a 21st century gal.
All in all, though, a funny and enjoyable read. I learned a whole lot about the cookie and what men want :P

I've been reading this almost simultaneously with Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and if I had to choose I would say this is definitely a more enjoyable read. There are many things Harvey says in this book that coincide with the other, but Harvey takes a more personable, less clinical approach. Reading Men are from Mars... is like speaking with a therapist while this is like talking with a guy friend. Both books have been informative, this one is just more informal. What I liked most about this book, and what took my by surprise, is that Harvey repeatedly mentions that a guy should have his prioriest straight: God first, then family and everything else after. He makes it completely evident that God and faith play an important role in a successful relationship. Of course, I've always believed this, I just didn't expect to be hearing it in a book written by Steve Harvey. It definitely increased my respect for the man.
