Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey (2009, Abridged, Compact Disc)

As a man, I had to read this book by myself and see if what Steve portraits as the average man has to do with how I see myself. Well, I have to tell that he's right for the most part. No surprise, he's a man! Surely that men in general is not extremely as he describes it is, there are some variations, but these variations aren't too distant from the standards explained in these pages.

Basically, if a woman lets a man be a man, gives him three basic things (support, loyalty and, hmmm...the "cookie") and set commitment requirements without scaring her partner the more likely she will have a clear vision on where the relationship is going is the man she is with is worth being with and fighting for. In other words, Steve calls women to take a stand and tell loud and clear what she wants from her partner, without fearing the possibilities, including the one in which she loses the man.

Yes, losing the man you love, but don't love you back good enough, or just love you differently. Steve believes that you'd better alone than with someone who supposedly don't love you in your own concept. It's up to you, ladies, to follow or not his advice - find love patiently, facing slight disappointments one after another until you find Mr. Right naturally and with no pressure, or keep doing just the way you do, going errands, with hopes of someday being there, and accept anything in the end because you're just too tired trying to make it right.

Book well written and very enjoyable, finished in just one day.
