The 1 New York Times smash bestseller Revised and expanded with new material.With over two million copies sold, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man has become a bestseller around the world. In conjunction with its second movie sequel to be released this summer, Steve Harvey has updated his classic with new advice and insights.Whether it’s why women should enforce a “90-Day Probation Period” before they give their men sexual “benefits”―the way Ford motor company withholds medical and dental benefits until an employee has been on the job for 3 months―or explaining to women why men would rather “fix it” than talk about it, Steve Harvey’s advice is always spot-on and laden with warmth and humor. But behind the laughter is his sincere desire to help women understand how men think.Now, Steve shares even more practical dating advice. Does it feel like your man’s friends are against you? What should you know about being a wife, before you say “I Do”? Steve provides the answers to these questions and more, and offers new insights including: How to put spice into your relationship 8 sure-fire ways to keep your cool when his “ex” shows up A test for you and your partner, to see if you’re actually ready for marriage. . . or need more time A 90-day abstinence calendar, and tips for making it through this important trial periodWith liberal use of his own adventures in love and courtship, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is an honest, compelling, and realistic examination of how men think about love and relationships, and what women need to know so that they can set realistic expectations of the men in their life.

  • This book changed MY LOVE LIFE & CONFIRMED my self worth, Love it!!!
Format: Kindle
I bought this book because of several reasons, but the main reason was because I realized that I wasn't coming in contact with the standard of man that I need in my life. Figuring that I need some insight from someone who's a realist and cracks me up at the same time, Steve Harveys book "Act like a Lady, Think like a man" caught my attention son I decided to purchase it! When I tell you this book gave me all the direction, confirmation & UNDERSTANDING of how a man thinks & how he operates in life...,WOW!!! THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS WOW & THANK GOD FOR BLESSING STEVE WITH THE IDEAS, HONESTY & ANOINTING to make a book like this for all of us who have been unlucky in Love but couldn't understand why. I started reading this book immediately after meeting a man by chance while visiting my hometown in Iowa, I had to look leave town the day after we met but had a good feeling about the encounter. I admired his career path as a Civil Rights Attorney & the short conversation we had was full of blushing & sparks flying. My hometown is very small so he happened to know my Aunt who's a politician there as well as other relatives of mine. Although I left the following day, he used every personal link to me possible & tracked me down a week later in LA through our mutual connections. The distance is challenging but we're making it work. It's 3 months later & we've already taken two vacations together & we're planning our 3rd in October for my birthday. I have followed almost all the instructions & advice in this book & I am being protected, proclaimed & provided for by this man in ways I never have before & it's only getting better. Who knows what the future holds, I plan to enjoy finding out! Thank you Mr. Harvey! ... show more

  • Good Information
Format: Paperback
Some good to it in that it sets out some truths about how men are wired. But, not science. All cultures vary in their approach to dating and marriage. That's not really covered here - this is in my opinion an African American written book as to culture and manner that is not what I find true in my own. But, there are some true GEMS in this book, and he defends women by stressing not settling for less, how to protect yourself from being used and not treated well. There is male insight here that I think that applies to a man's psyche regardless of culture. This is protective of women and a good read = take what you want and leave what you don't. I give it a 5 for candor, telling women how to avoid the lackluster non committed man, and knowing how men are wired as to seeking to create relationships and a family future. Learned a lot. ... show more

  • single ladies; I highly recommend!
Format: Kindle
This is a great book for a woman wanting to date with intention and arguably the perfect start for a woman who's been out of the game for a while. Steve does a good job at explaining the male mindset and how you can get straight to the point. Although I think some points are no longer valid considering the status on modern day dating, it's still optimal to put a lot of his suggestions to practice, in order for you to get the kind of relationship you want. In my personal experience, it is a proven fact that when you do the 90 day rule, you weed out the losers. And also setting your expectations upfront? It's very true that true men respect that. I've had a man tell me before "I love and respect that you gave me your expectations upfront".. I was shooketh by those words! That alone made me more confident in my actions as far as expectations go. Another thing: 95% of the time you most definitely have to find value in the actual man in front of you and not in their potential. I used to be the type to want to "fix" or help a man rise up but a man with a good head on his shoulders aka the real man for you will already be working towards those steps and not be in a standstill. ... show more

  • Mixed Review (take what fits & disregard the rest)
Format: Kindle
My review is mixed. I did like SH outlined things, gave us a 1, ... 2, ... 3, ... etc. Some of what he wrote about was thought provoking, if not for our personal relationships then for the relationships our friends or family members may be engaged in. The book was simple in that it contains information (I would think) most "mature thinking adults" would already know. If a woman dresses cheap, lacks healthy boundaries, and has low standards, then ummm yes, she's not going to be able to attract or keep a "real man." There is a difference between real men and grown boys in adult bodies. I disagree with how he "protected" his wife by her giving up things she loved to do. In my opinion, his protecting her would have been to learn to do what she loved so they could engage in those activities together. Just my opinion as I said. At the same time, however, if she was willing to sacrifice what she loved for what she considered the betterment of the relationship, then that's her choice and if she's okay with it, then who am I to complain. I do think there should be a balance in relationships, give and take. We don't know what compromise SH made for her give up what she loved or what interests they developed and engaged in together. I'm trying to help him out here :-D. I have learned not to give up something I like/love, unless the man I am with can fill the gap with something better. As I said, relationships should be give and take - my opinion. I read a lot of reviews on here about the 90-day rule. We all know that Christians are having as much sex as non-Christians. If that chapter does not apply to you, disregard it. For Christians who are sexually active, I think they do need to slow down and not give up themselves (in that way) too quickly. Personally, I am not sexually active, which is one of the reasons I am single. Men, Christian men, seem to think sex is okay when the Bible clearly states that fornication is a sin. Again, it's about our standards and if we're living by God's standard, His Holy Word, that clears away a lot of the riff raff really quickly. I did agree with him recognizing that some women work as hard as men outside of the home. He spoke about if the woman had a rough day and he wants some quality time, help her with the dishes, give the kids their bath, whatever. Although, I do feel those should be things a man does in the home anyway, and not just when he wants sex. Again, my opinion is that relationships are give and take. A real man is not just going to help his woman at home just because he wants a reward - sex. His reward is having a woman at home who is loyal to him and committed to the relationship, takes care of the house, the kids, and keeps herself presentable. I appreciated the part of his book that outlined how to tell if a grown boy is looking for a throwback/sports fish and not a keeper, it gave credence to women having high standards - if we have high standards, we will recognize what a real man or a grown boy is really after. Again, I think this is a good book for women who continue to find themselves in dead end relationships or being the "side chick" and haven't the slightest clue why. For women with standards, I think this book served as a good reminder of why we have the standards we do. ... show more
