Thinking like a man….?
There are many dating and relationship books on the market, but not all of them explain things logically. "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" may have its audience but it didn't do anything for me at the time that I read it.I’m a fan of Steve Harvey and his many perspectives on the male-female dating dynamic. His book “Act like a Lady, Think like a Man” was very popular and spawned at least 2 movies from it. He used his past television show to promote his theories about the Dating/Marriage dynamic, and successfully hosted segments that explored the dating process, and guided women through love-relationships and marriage, as well as other family-oriented interactions.
Thinking like a man is something that I only learned to appreciate within the last 10 years or so, as I had more time then to really focus on trying to understand the male perspective/s. Steve Harvey explained how men viewed money/finances, women, relationships, sex and so much more, and the way that he explained them seemed very logical, to me. I may not have agreed with his perspectives on everything, but I did learn a lot, which broadened my understanding considerably (at least, I think so).
But I have questions. Does ‘thinking like a man’ cause conflict with ‘acting like a lady’? If I thought like a man, wouldn’t I be tempted to act like a man? Would a man think that I was competing with him, or that I was more masculine (than feminine) and so ‘friend-zone’ me? Should men learn to “Act like a gentleman, Think like a Woman”, in order to balance out the equation?
If thinking like a man is helpful to women, then thinking like a woman should be helpful to men.
Isn’t that a logical deduction, men?

When you awake in the morning, when your mind has rested and is now fresh to start a new day. Think clear and just do what you feel right for you.
However you dress, dress how you like, what feels right to you.
Don't think of what some article or book or someone said you should be. Just be you. Act your natural self.
You'll find you're more attractive and comfortable than ever when you're being your wonderful natural self.
There's an ole saying, "Follow your heart. There's more truth there than anywhere else."

It is not said on the basis of gender but on the basis of quality.
Men are more imaginative natured and women are more practical natured. This is probably said because in the past when human was a cave-human, men had to think a lot about arranging food and protecting his family. And women had to take care of their children, husband and home within the available resources at home.
Perhaps in this way the man became imaginative and the woman became practical.
In this way, generation after generation, these qualities kept coming in us.
Although both man and woman are imaginative and practical, but their responsibilities made them expert in one thing.
And I've also heard that women have one more sense (sixth-sense) than men.
I don't know how much correct I am in all of this?

But the problem is , in my experience so far I've found that , even if it's just the natural part of the personality of a girl that she thinks like a Gentleman , most men would just feel somehow Uncomfortable to accept it.
May be it's just natural for men to feel Uncomfortable with a girl who thinks out of the box against the flow !!
AND I guess , in Most cases , The same applies for the opposite (Men thinking like a Lady) type of situation too.
As per Myself !!
Well... Whenever it comes to thinking and acting , I don't really follow any rulebook.
I think just like MYSELF and act just like MYSELF.
I know , I'm really a Hopeless person !!
BTW.. I personally like to watch clippings from Steve Harvey's shows.

So do I, Tan. They're very inspiring.
Call me old fashioned but when it comes to knowing and understanding each other more, isn't it better to listen to each other and not read of each other instead

having said that, it could be one of my flaws.
Because you feel such reads help, each to their own as in what does
Have you ever watched the movie " what women want" your blog reminded me of it....
but it were a man, thinking like a woman.... a good movie, even though it was rather daft, sometimes it doesn't always pay to get inside each others heads..jmo.
Night now Di

I may have thought a certain away dating and relationships, that is totally different from how men may regard it, hence have some difficulty in meshing with a love-interest in that area. But, with some enlightenment (on both parts), it is possible to overcome the problem.
Hence, this gives the idea whoever the "us" is or were, we are created in their image.
Today, we must ask is the image we see ourselves is the same image of God or whoever made us? Or have we become so distorted of our understanding of how we think of our God and our personal self?
Thanks for your input.
