I would have to estimate that roughly 7% of this book applied to me. That 7% though was good advice. But let's be real. This book verges on misogynistic. ( )

This book helped me to understand men better though personally for me at least it seemed like a lot of the stuff was kind of obvious. I enjoyed reading it though and it was a very quick read for me. ( )

Steve Harvey's take on men and what they need to be happy in a relationship. Our love, loyalty, and the cookie. He makes it simple. Harvey's writing is funny. He was in stand-up comic and it shows in how he writes. I laughed a lot while reading the book. He has certain rules, like wait 90 days before getting it on with the "cookie."

Harvey's standards for girls and women is this: men should "PROFESS, PROVIDE and PROTECT." Remember these 3 P's in setting standard for yourself. Why should you settle for anything less? If he does not do these 3 P's for you, say NEXT! There are guys who'll always have a girl on their arm, one prettier than the previous one but without a title! You deserve a title - "this is my girlfriend," "this is my lady," you should have some kind of relationship with him. If he digs you, you'll have a title. If not, date until you meet the right guy who will give you that title.

Harvey's rules apply to manly men. I cannot picture girl guys doing the 3 P's. As a girl or woman, you would have to ask yourself, do I want to be with a guy who cannot profess that I am his girl, provide for me and the family, and protect me? These things apply to healthy men who have it going on. There are of course, exceptions with men who cannot deliver because of their own problems. ( )

This seems too simple an approach to understanding men, but as Steve Harvey says, men are simple. There are some enlightening, common-sense points made here, very readable and with humor. You'll have to accept that traditional man/woman attitudes continue to exist, no matter how progressive you are. If you're having trouble attracting a good man, or understanding the one you've got, consider this as a potential resource. ( )
