Dear girls, this is really an interesting book, just read it, think, analyze, laugh and find out much more. And I also have the impression that Steve Harvey is a typical Armenian man of our families.
- Here are my notes
⁃ Men have to be able to flaunt it, and women have to be able to see it — otherwise, what’s the use of being number one?
⁃ It’s impossible for men to focus on the two — we’re just not that gifted, sorry.
⁃ Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you’ve acted out, no matter what crazy thing you’ve done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty, encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you’re no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she’s done to convince you she’s The One just isn’t good enough.
⁃ That’s a woman’s love — it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance.
⁃ A man—a real one, anyway—wants to feel needed.
⁃ I’m telling you right now: if you go to your man with a situation that’s fixable and he doesn’t try to fix it, he is not your man—he is not in love with you. Go ahead, I dare you to try it for yourself.
⁃ We men are very simple people: if we like what we see, we’re coming over there. If we don’t want anything from you, we’re not coming over there.
⁃ To us, your power comes from one simple thing: you’re a woman, and we men will do anything humanly possible to impress you so that, ultimately, we can be with you. You’re the driving force behind why we wake up every day. Men go out and get jobs and hustle to make money because of women. We drive fancy cars because of women. We dress nice, put on cologne, get haircuts and try to look all shiny and new for you. We do all of this because the more our game is stepped up, the more of you we get. You’re the ultimate prize to us.
⁃ Women are smart—you all can tell when your friends are lying, you know when your kids are up to no good, co-workers can’t get anything past you at the job. You’re quick to let each one of them know that you’re not stupid, that you see them coming a mile away, and you’re not going to let them play that game with you. But when it comes to your relationships with the opposite sex, all of that goes out the window; you relinquish your power and lose all control over the situation.
⁃ Men can cheat because there are so many women willing to give themselves to a man who doesn't belong to them.
⁃ If he loves you, he will profess it, he will provide for you, and he will protect you.
