Citation preview
This book is dedicated to all women His intention is to allow women to look at
relationship from a man’s point of view with eyes wide open
The book is a “fool proof guide” for women to read what men are really thinking
Steve has come to our rescue and has written this book to touch on all of the subjects that are important on how to find a man and keep him(Harvey, 2009)
He answers questions referring to:› mama’s boys › the ninety day rule› when to introduce the kids › and the questions we should be asking
He claims you must read this book if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships.
(Harvey, 2009)
Men are simple, and no matter how different, all have the same mindsets and simple attitudes of only trying to figuring out three aspects of their lives: who they are, what they do, and how much he makes.
According to Gorbunova, this is not the thinking of men, but both sexes search for who they truly are (2010).
Page 280- “Will men go to counseling?” “SH: We’re only interested in it if it is
going to save our ass. If we think we’re going to lose you and counseling will keep us together, then we’ll go. But if it won’t save our ass, we cant see any good reason why we should sit on a couch and talk to a person with a tablet, getting judged for every move we’ve ever made.”
Researched reasons why men do not go to counseling?
Don’t like to admit there is a problem that needs changing
Don’t like to admit they cant fix something on their own
Like to fix things on their own Even if it does “save their asses” many men
refuse to go to counseling.
Smith, K. (2010, March 5).
Some of Steve Harvey’s thinking can be supported with research!
Example:› Women want a mature man › Darroch, Landry, and Oslak write that
sexually active women from 15-44 years 52% had men that were at least two years older.
Talked to some of his male friends His female co-workers and associates Put together a few informal focus
groups. Then, considered the impact that
relationships have on each of us, and their impact on us
The successful marriage of his parents
No data No “new” or “edgy” way of thinking
› Men and women are different› Women do not understand men
Not sufficient enough research to be considered an adequate self-help book
Not particularly funny for a comedian NO!
More research then his friends and family
Less limited methodology on the man/ stereotypes
Providing research to his logical beliefs Connecting it to a younger age group
What is Steve Harvey’s method of research:› a. interviews› b. surveys › c. friends and families› d. a & b
Steve Harvey claims that he did comprehensive research:› True› False
What does Steve Harvey believe is the main difference between men and women:› a. The complexity of their thinking› b. Their looks› c. Their careers› d. Their upbringing
