It is clear from your article that you have not read Mr. Harvey’s book. While I agree he is not a trained relationship expert, the content of the book is actually sage advice. Harvey encourages women to think like a man but act like a lady. For example, if a man asks to “come through” but never offers to take you on a legitimate date, he is not seeking a relationship. Most likely, he just wants a physical relationship. If you are on board with that, fine. But if you are seeking a relationship, tell him no. Harvey implores that it is imperative that women understand how men and women love differently and women must stop “heaping” our definition of love on men. The point of Harvey’s book is to educate women on the behavior of men and learn how to adapt to it – not to actually think like a man. If a man is clearly just out for a good time and you want a relationship, instead of trying to change him, simply dismiss him. He isn’t the guy for you. The book empowers women instead of depicting them in a submissive light. Yes, the movie is an attempt to illustrate some of the book’s advice but, hello, it is a comedy.

This article is exactly on point. Although there are many people who will be able to take what they need from the Steve Harvey book and subsequent movie and then leave the rest behind and/or categorize it as pure romantic comedy and entertainment. The sad truth is that there are many women who will not, and find themselves in unsatisfying, unfulfilled relationships over and over again and desperately try to find answers from any and every source to try and find an answer. I have personally sat at Happy Hours and dinner tables with girlfriends who were reading Steve Harvey’s book like it was the gospel truth. As the author here indicates, the right path is spending time trying to determine and ACCEPT what our own issues are and being able to identify the issues in the partner’s we choose to involve ourselves with and make decisions based on that. Not some formula laid out by a comedian turned author. I have heard that the movie is quite entertaining, well acted and actually pretty good. So for those who can enjoy it as such, cheers!

I have not read Mr. Harvey’s book but can we accept the book/movie for entertainment purposes only.

I think we sometimes over analyze anything that originates from an African American. We assume that one point of view is going to misguide droves of “us” as if we lack the capicity to think for ourselves.

I see this movie as a cute romatic comedy, much like “He’s Just Not That Into You”, nothing more and nothing less.

Nothing to be “saddened about”.
