ACT Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think about Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment by Steve Harvey
5.0
This is literally the best book I've read. I took so many notes. Girls, you have to read this! It's the cold-hard truth we don't wanna hear, but it teaches you all about the "game" and how not to end up the one at the bottom.
Some snippets from the book:
We men are very simple people: If we like what we see, we're coming over there. If we don't want anything from you, we're not coming over there. A man always wants something. Always. And when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things. 1) If you're willing to sleep with him, and 2) If you are, how much will it cost to get you to sleep with him. He doesn't care anything about your personality or what you do for a living, your friends mean nothing to him, and whether you know Jesus is irrelevant. He just wants to know if he might be able to sleep with you, and he's talking to you to determine exactly how much he has to invest to get what he wants...he's trying to see if your price is too high, if you're affordable, if he can get it on credit, whether he can get it tonight. If you tell him upfront you have requirements - that you need his time, his respect, his attention - then he knows you're expensive.
When you're not aware that all men have plans, you're not placing requirements on him, and if you're not setting any ground rules, then you're essentially telling him that you're open for his rules. You've established that you don't care how often he calls, when he comes by, how often you talk, and whether he opens the door.
Know that if a man isn't looking for a serious relationship, you're not going to change his mind just because you're going on dates and being intimate.
Wise up, my fellow sisters!
Let's stop being played.
