ACT Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think about Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment by Steve Harvey
1.0
Speaking as a man, and from the the male perspective, this book has problems.
- The Title
Is Harvey telling women they need to act like a lady and think like a man? Or is he telling everyone to act like a lady? Given the rest of the book it is the former and a man telling a woman how to act is problematic.
- Chapter One
According to Harvey men are simple. If Harvey is saying this because he is a simple man then he can't comprehend a complex man. If Harvey is actually complex then he is lying.
- Chapter Two
According to Harvey nobody loves more than a woman. If he has the ability to directly compare the love in his heart compared to that of the love in a woman's heart then he should be teaching mind reading. If he doesn't actually know then he should look in to Elizabeth Bathroy, Ma Barker, Mary Tudor, or Aileen Wuornos. These are women a little lacking in the love department.
- Chapter's Three
This is the chapter where Harvey tells me I am not a man. I must not be a man because I will vent to my wife when I need to. I must not be a man because I respect my wife enough to know that if she wants advice she will ask for it and otherwise I should listen. Harvey should also read The Five Love Languages, it seems like the type of pop-psychology that might interest him. If, and it is a capitalized IF he would actually listen to someone else's opinion.
- Chapter Four
Who am I kidding? This is where I decided to not to finish and that the book wasn't worth my time.
- Summary
This is a book giving relationship advice that was written by a man on his third marriage. This is a book giving relationship advice that was written by a man who has cheated on his spouse. A book that blames a man's cheating on his partner. That's problematic.
