Would this be good advice to tell a woman who has relationship problems?

';Think like a man, but act like a woman';. What does that mean to you? This is the title to a new book by Steve Harvey that supposedly tells women how to get and keep a man. Do anyone else thinks that's bad advice for women? Let me switch it around. ';Think like a woman, but act like a man';. Men do you think that's good advice for a man to GET and KEEP a woman? Why or why not?Would this be good advice to tell a woman who has relationship problems?
So funny I just read something about this in Essence magazine. I agree with some points he has made but not all. Steve is letting us into his head but how many times has he been married?


I like what he said about men professing, providing and protecting as proof that they love their women. And also about setting standards -- when you don't have any requirements or command any respect then men know they don't have to give you any.Would this be good advice to tell a woman who has relationship problems?
Without having read the book, I cannot say if I agree with what he has to say. However, I will say that I agree with the basic premise.





Women need to develop better backbones and be more pragmatic and take better control of their lives.





When I read threads here a woman will ask how to handle a situation because she doesn't want to hurt someone else's feelings. And the other women will offer up really lame lies. You know what a guy would do? Tell the truth, say nothing at all, or say that he cannot do something without offering any explanation. And if the man were asked for an explanation, he would ignore the question. It's brilliant! Men know that not every question deserves an answer. A man is not going to lose sleep over possibly hurting someone's feelings slightly.





Or women will be in really bizarre and abusive dating relationships where there are abundant red flags and will ask ';how long should I wait for my bf to propose?'; A man would have taken control of his life and dumped a whack job a long time ago instead of waiting for someone else to decide the course of the relationship.





I really think that many women need to be more pragmatic in their thinking.
My opinion is that this is bad advise, how can a person be true to themselves, when trying to act like someone they are not? Many people write books, and many people are so naive that they think if it's written in a book, it must be valid and truthful, however this is wrong, for example their are thousands of gossip magazines on the shelves in many stores, they throw a picture of a celebrity on the cover, and the celebrity typically has a facial expression that matches the smut that is written next to the picture, however 9 times out of 10 it is a bunch of lies or half truths, so my advise is to never take what you read as truth, and never be someone who you are not.
It's crap just like most self help books. If there truly was a rule book that worked on every single person that would mean everyone was the same and since we aren't all the same that means there is no one right way to do it.
great
