The Dating Game

Questions and answers came from essence mag. These are some of Steve Harvey's answer. What are your thoughts?

How does a women know a man's really digging her?
We show love toward our women by what I call the three P's profess, provide, protect...

How else does a man show love?
.. we will do our level best to make sure you gets what you want and what you need..

You have a chapter dedicated to the ladies who are single, independen and lonely, and you say it's not because men are intimidated?
Sometimes in an effort to show your independence, women kill one of the basic requirements that a man has: to provide. You have to let a man be a man.

I don't think a lot of women know how to do that anymore. Can you break it down for us?
Well, you keep trying to cover all bases so you can show a man that you don't need a man...


What would you say is the biggest mistakes women make when they're dating?
You have stopped setting standards...

I think women do have standards, but we think if we say, "I expect only this" no one will reach for our high bar?
..no matter how high your bar, when a man wants you, you can't get rid of him.

Do you think the majority of single men are still will to show some "act right" for a woman?
There are a lot of good men left. But there are a lot of men who don't have to be good men to get a women...

"Can a women really require a man to be a man?

i do not understand this question. how do you require a man to be a man?

That was Steve Harvey's comment women need to basically man a man be a man. My opinion it isn't something a women can do.

I am curious what you and the other ladies thing about what he said

I read this article in Essence the other day and I agree with. I actually plan on picking up his book this weekend.

Yes a woman CAN require that a man be a man, but if he is not willing to do so she needs to be woman enough to walk away instead of settling.

Keep in mind that requiring and making are two different things. require is something you can control, you can't make anybody do anything.

Why shocked? I think that there is some truth to what he has to say. I like to at least attempt to hear what the other side has to say. My degree is in behavioral studies .. so I have to up on this crap.
