Don’t be afraid to be upfront with him, either. You start catching the feels? Ask where things are headed or if things will ever get serious between the two of you. And with that comes… Harvey gets candid about how before he made it as a comedian, he got laid off as an inspector from the Ford assembly line and found himself unemployed without a college degree or any self-confidence. He couldn’t focus on women. Just as he bumps up against what has the potential to be an insightful evaluation of the market's pressures on men, he points the finger at women: “Many of you figure that if a man truly loves you, the two of you should be able to pursue your dreams together… This is honorable, but really, it’s not the way men work. His eye will be on the prize and that prize may not necessarily be you… It’s impossible for us to focus on the two—we’re just not that gifted, sorry.”

Plus, women who are reading this book are likely looking for a man, which of course leads to almost all the readers answering positively -ie.: a trap question-. Review Disclaimer - a friend asked me to read this with her because she is single and “not sure what she is doing wrong”. In the same way God created Eve to give pleasure to Adam,” Federici writes, “so did capital create the housewife to service the male worker physically, emotionally, and sexually… It is not an accident, then, if most men start thinking of getting married as soon as they get their first job. This is not only because now they can afford it, but also because having somebody at home who takes care of you is the only condition of not going crazy after a day spent on an assembly line or at a desk.”

Where to watch Think Like a Man

Or have you ever thought to yourself that you lead yourself on the most? Stop imagining yourself with the guy who only wants to hangout with you incoherently on the weekends.

I'm a man reading this book. was recommended by a friend. At first I was thrown by the title but, after the first chapter the insight helped explain some of my own hang ups about why I hadn't found a good woman yet. some of the content was not for me and that was to be expected. a man always wants something.Always.And when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things:1) if u're willing to sleep with him,and 2)if u're,how much it will cost. Steve Harvey says men are simple. No matter where he’s currently at, there are three things that shape his identity and self-esteem:Sex, well, Steve says men can only go a month without it. And if you start rationing out sex, he’ll be looking for it elsewhere. Oddly, reading this, I couldn’t help but think of marxist feminist scholar Silvia Federici and her 1975 essay " Wages Against Housework," which suggested reproductive labor is the foundation of industry and worthy of a wage. Harvey says the only reason why he is able to stall marriage is that she hasn’t required him to set the date. I get the sense that Steve Harvey hates women, but, the thing is, he might actually hate men even more. “Men are very simple creatures,” he repeats throughout the book as a tagline. According to him, men are incapable of chitchat, only talk to you because they want to have sex with you, wouldn’t wash or shave if it weren’t for women, and would only eat lunch meat and watch ESPN if they could. He offers the basest, most barbaric definition of manhood that would rival any seasoned misandrist's.
