![]() ![]() ![]() I teach them very quickly that expecting a man to respond to them the way a woman would is never going to work. The problem for all too many women who call in to my radio show, though, is that they just can't get that reciprocation from men, and women then end up feeling disappointed, disenfranchised, and disillusioned by their failed relationships. The only way to convert your " committed relationship" into a marriage is to insist on setting a date for the wedding. He says it's "just plain dumb" to let a man lock you into a monogamous premarital relationship, where you share a bed, bills, and even kids. He asserts that men are "simple", and that women should understand that they can never be first in a man's life without understanding and accepting that men are driven by who they are, what they do, and how much they make. ![]() In the book, Harvey instructs women on how to be a "keeper" rather than a "sports fish". ![]() Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment is a 2009 self help book by Steve Harvey which describes for women Harvey's concept of how men really think of love, relationships, intimacy, commitment, and how to successfully navigate a relationship with a man. ![]()

The expression, not calm but contained, was unrevealing. As a boy, Leith had wondered how his father could always have good clothes so seldom renewed-a seeming impossibility, like having a perpetual two days' growth of beard. The torso broad but spare the clothes unaffected, old and good. Forehead full, full crop of longish white hair. Features fine and lined, light eyes, one eyelid drooping. In an enactment of momentary interruption, the man was half-turned to the camera, left elbow on blotter, right hand splayed over knee. It was one of those pictures, the author at his desk. Aldred Leith was holding a book in his right hand-not reading, but looking at a likeness of his father on the back cover. Meanwhile, he was examining a photograph of his father. He would presently see that rain continued to fall on the charred suburbs of Tokyo, raising, even within the train, a spectral odour of cinders. Leith sat by a window, his body submissively chugging as they got under way.

My critical rating would be 4.4 stars because I do factor diversity into my rating and this book doesn’t have any characters of color, with non-straight sexualities, nor does it deal with mental health well. And I did – I gave this book 5 stars, purely based on my reading experience. I was really nervous about liking it (not just because I would offend a lot of people lol) but because I wanted to finally read a chunky book that I actually enjoyed. My copy was 400+ pages, and I’m usually super intimidated by such large books (especially classics), so I went into this thinking it would be a long, slow read.
