When women are in a relationship, the relationship can have its good times and it can have its bad times. And when the bad times happen, women sometimes question why their man did whatever it is that he did.

Well, if you are looking for the answers, you might be able to find them in the book, Act like a Lady, Think like a Man.

One of the “Kings of Comedy,” actor, and radio personality, Steve Harvey, is the author of this bestseller. According to Steve Harvey in his book, the best advice women should get about a man should be from a man. Harvey also says no one but a man can tell a woman how to find and keep a man.

Bianca Shaw, 28, single, agreed with Harvey throughout his book. She not only enjoyed reading it, but also was able to take some useful advice from it.

“As much of an independent woman that I am/ was, it feels good to allow a man to take care of me,” said Shaw.

Shaw took heed to the helpful piece of information that every man needs to feel needed.

Harvey broke his book into three sections: The Mindset of a Man, Why Men Do What They Do, and The Playbook: How to Win the Game.

Throughout the book, Harvey gives common scenarios that women will encounter throughout a relationship, offers suggestions for women to take advantage of, and nuggets of knowledge that women can keep in mind.

In the last section, The Playbook: How to Win the Game, Harvey has a chapter called “The Ninety-Day Rule: Getting the Respect You Deserve.”

In this chapter, Harvey compares getting benefits at a job to getting benefits in a relationship. He advises women to test their man and make him wait for sex, notice how he reacts to certain problems, under pressure, to bad news, and his reaction to when a woman says “no.”

He explains that when you first start a job, you have to work hard for 90 days of probation, to be able to receive benefits.  

In a relationship, Harvey suggests that women should not give up their “benefits” too early. Giving them up too early will make the man leave and be more committed with a woman who put him through a probationary period.

Rashawnda Warren, 29, single, tried the Ninety-Day rRule and believes it works.

“To me, it makes no difference if he wants you; he will after one, 10, or 100 days. Sex has been made so casual; I do believe the Ninety-Day Rule should be put into effect just as a test factor.”

Harvey gives women advice on other topics too, such as “The Three Things Every Man Needs: Support, Loyalty, and the Cookie,” “Sports Fish vs. Keepers: How Men Distinguish between the Marrying Types and the Playthings,” and “Why Men Cheat.”
            
The overall question in regards to Act like a Lady, Think like a Man, though, is if the book works.

Tammy Lacy, 36, married, does not know if the book is useful but definitely thinks it is interesting.

“I think the book has a lot of common sense stuff in it, but what made it so interesting was how real Steve kept it. There are not too many men who will keep it real because they’re worried about what they may mess up for themselves: the cookie.”
            
Steve Harvey answered many questions for women who are single, married, divorced, or looking for someone to be in their life.

Thanks to him, women now know how to “still” act like a lady, but “now” think like a man.
