Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey

I’m told my jokes strike chords with people be- cause they can relate to them, especially the ones that explore the dynamics of relationships between men and women. My humor is always rooted in truth and full of wis- dom-the kind that comes from living, watching, learning, and knowing. 6. I ’ve made a living for more than twenty years making people laugh-about themselves, about each other, about family, and friends, and, most certainly, about love, sex, and rela- tionships.Keepers: How Men Distinguish Between the Marrying Types and the Playthings 69 7 Mama’s Boys 85 8 Why Men Cheat 95 3 THE PL AY BOOK: HOW TO WIN THE GA ME 9 Men Respect Standards-Get Some 115 10 The Five Questions Every Woman Should Ask Before She Gets in Too Deep 129 11 The Ninety-Day Rule: Getting the Respect You Deserve 147 12 If He’s Meeting the Kids AfterYou Decide He’s “the One,” It’s Too Late 163 13 Strong, Independent-and Lonely- Women 179 14 How to Get the Ring 193 15 Quick Answers to the QuestionsYou’ve Always Wanted to Ask 205 Acknowledgments 231 About the Author Credits Cover Copyright About the Publisher V 4.
