    Last week, the men said Steve Harvey’s book, “Act Like a Woman, Think Like a Man”, had Steve laughing straight to the bank.  Stating the book was an inaccurate depiction of how men really thought.  If you haven’t listened and commented on it…(you know what to do). 

     

    This week, I had a few ladies come into the studio and discuss what the men had to say.  This was the first time I had only ladies on the mic although Tony HAD to interject (shake my head).  When you get FOUR women with FOUR different opinions into a studio you shouldn’t expect anything but FIRE!!!  This was a great episode you don’t want to miss it. 

     

    Leave your comments and let me know if you believe women would do better in relationships if they would learn to THINK LIKE A MAN?

      Just to help the women out…Here is the part of the book were Steve Harvey discusses Sport vs Keeper Fish…

      “A man fishes for two reasons: he’s either sport fishing or fishing to eat, which means he’s either going to try to catch the biggest fish he can, take a picture of it, admire it with his buddies and toss it back to sea, or he’s going to take that fish on home, scale it, fillet it, toss it in some cornmeal, fry it up, and put it on his plate. This, I think, is a great analogy for how men seek out women.

      See, men are, by nature, hunters, and women have been put in the position of being the prey. Think about it: it used to be that a an “picked” a wife, a man “asked” a woman to dinner, a man had to get “permission” from a woman’s father to have her hand in marriage, and even, in some cases, to date her. We pursued—in fact, we’ve been taught all our lives that it was not only a good thing to chase women, but natural. Women have bought into this for years, too; how many times have you or one of your girls said, “I like it when a man pursues me,” or “I need him to romance me and give me flowers and make me feel like I’m wanted”? Flowers, jewelry, phone calls, dates, sweet talk—these are all the weapons in our hunting arsenal when
      we’re coming for you.

      But the question always remains: once we hook you, what will we do with you? Taking a cue from my love of fishing, my philosophy is that men will treat women like one of these two things: a sports fish or a keeper. How we meet, how the conversation goes, how the relationship develops, and the demands you make on a man will all determine whether you’ll be treated like a sports fish—a throwback—or a keeper, the kind of woman a man can envision settling down with. And the way we separate the two is very simple, as I explain next.”

      “A Sporting Fish -

      Doesn’t have any rules, requirements, respect for herself, or guidelines, and we men can pick up her scent a mile away. She’s the party girl who takes a sip of her Long Island iced tea or a shot of her Patrón, then announces to her suitor that she just wants to “date and see how it goes,” and she’s the conservatively dressed woman at the office who is a master at networking, but clueless about how to approach men. She has no plans for any ongoing relationships, is not expecting anything in particular
      from a man, and sets absolutely not nary one condition or restriction
      on anyone standing before her—she makes it very clear that she’s just along for whatever is getting ready to happen. For sure, as soon as she lets a man know through words and action that he can treat her just any old kind of way, he will do just that. Men will stand in line to sign up for that, believe me.

      A Keeper Fish -

      Never gives in easily, and the standards/requirements start the moment you open your mouth. See, she understands her power and wields it like a samurai sword. She commands—not demands—respect, just by the way she carries herself. You can walk up to her and give her your best game, and while she may be impressed by what you say, that’s no guarantee that she’s
      going to let the conversation go any further, much less give you her phone number and agree to give you some of her valuable time. Men automatically know from the moment she opens her mouth that if they want her, they’ll have to get in line with her standards and requirements, or keep it moving because she’s done with the games and isn’t interested in playing. But she will also send all the signals that she is capable of being loyal to a
      man and taking good care of him, appreciative of what he’s bringing to the relationship, and ready for love—true, longlasting love.”
