I read this book with my book club and found it to be an easy read and enjoyable topic starter. So I'm wondering if any of you have read the book and would like to share your thoughts. I felt he validated a lot of what women think, but also shared insight into the male perspective. So what'd you think??

Hi,
I just finished reading this book today, I was in a relationship that my instincts were telling me he was just not that into me, and after reading the book, it pretty much confirmed what I was thinking. It hurts like hell, but its best to know the truth than to kid myself right? Thanks to Steve Harvey for shedding light on how men think and what their actions mean and even more so, what their "lack of action" means. Great read, I would encourage all females to read.

Diana

I just started reading it and I have been skipping around to the sections I want to get to first. It think it is a must read and yes, sometimes the truth does hurt when you get to the point where you don't have any choice but to look at it!

One thing that was "eye opening" was when he said "men are driven by who they are, what they do, and how much they make." He calls these the basic DNA of manhood. He says that a man must accomplish those 3 things before he feels he can fulfil "his destiny as a man."

Guys, do you feel this is fairly accurate??!!

I read Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man several months ago and found it a quick, fun read. The most valuable "jewel" in the book was near the beginning when Harvey stated a man is defined by who he is, what he does and how much he makes. I WISH I had realized that earlier on in life, as I believe several of my past relationships failed in part because the man was not where he wanted to be careerwise or financially.

Hi. I appreciate you for asking this question. I read the book, and I LOVE IT. However I do not agree w/the pre-marital sex. I am a christian, non denominational woman, and I believe if you dont stand for something you will fall for anything. I believe that GOD will send me a man that is willing to accept my morals and values. WITHOUT having to compromise my standards. Hard, sure...mis-understood, yep. But you know GOD hasnt failed me yet.

Ah yes, the great Steve Harvey. Nothing like getting relationship advice from a man who has been divorced 3 times and who's current spouse was his long time mistress.

Aim high ladies!

Personally, I feel that someone who's been through the good, the bad and the ugly is better suited to give advice about relationships than someone who hasn't been through anything and has done it all right. If all a person knows about is how successful he was at making a relationship work the first time he did it, how can he explain to me why a man disrespected me? Makes more sense that Steve would be the perfect man to tell me how a man thinks and why he would treat a woman as "a sportfish." Yes I read the book and it gave me a new perspective on how I as a woman need to conduct myself in order to draw the right attention from the right types of men! I recommend this book to any man or woman who truly wants a real perspective on relationships!
