As we studied interpersonal relationships, we explored the differences and similarities in how men and women relate to one another. Watch as author and comedian Steve Harvey talks to "The Early Show" about relationship advice for men and women from his book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man and tell us what you think about it.
That true when he talk about 3p and the concept of how men think about love. But i think the concept may change base on the culture. Some culture are more focuse in emotions rather than 3p. Everything just relativel.
ReplyDeleteIn my own opinion I think Steve Hardy is right in a way. Men tend to show love and affection in a completely different way than us women do. Women are more affectionate and want to receive that in return. Men are more on that tough side. Yeah they love you and want to protect you but they will make it seem like they don't really care because they have a different way of showing their love. The cheating part I absolutely agree with. Many women believe their lover is cheating on them because they're doing something wrong or not satisfying her man. But that doesn't have to be the case at all. Men know there are plenty of other fish in the sea and they want a little bit of everything. In some cases, women do the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI believe that what Steve Harvey says about profess, provide and protect is not just exclusive to men. I also think he comes from a generation where those roles are already predetermined by society. From my experience, I have started to see these roles become interchangeable between both genders simply because each individual experiences love, desire and provision in a different way. For example, some couples have their relationship structured in which a husband or dad may stay home to care for family and clean the house while the wife or mother will take the responsibility to bring in the big money. However, I still believe that women place a higher value on emotionally close relationships, while men are often uncomfortable expressing their feelings.
ReplyDeleteBeing a woman, I find the insight of a mans mind very intriguing. Men and women are so different mentally and emotionally. I do agree with author Steve Harvey with many points, especially that woman express themselves by nurturing and communication, I mean it's in our DNA. As he listed the three p's, I was very amused by how correct I found him. I do agree that men profess, provide, and protect to show their way of love. It's a simple, heartfelt way of giving that kind of intimate feedback to their lovers. I just bought his book on my phone and am looking forward to reading it. Sydney Hamilton
ReplyDeleteI believe that Steve Harvey is right. Men do have a different way of showing love then women but I have personally seen where men can be more emotional then women as well. I think it really depends on how you are raised or who you are raised by. For example if the child's parents are divorced and that child grows up with his dad then that could leave an impact on the child to where they don't show that much of emotion but if they grow up with there mom then it could possibly be different. I think that who you are raised by or who you are closer to has a bigger impact on how you show love to someone else.
ReplyDeleteI don't fully agree with Steve Harvey, but I do agree with him on some points. Men and women both show different types of love. For cheating, it can go both ways in this day and age because not all men go out of their way to cheat. Cheating depends on the person and how loyal they truly are and if they actually love their partner.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Steve Harvey, being a woman I notice we do expect the things Steve Harvey describes. Also I see the masculine qualities Steve Harvey describes when he says men like to protect and are there if they need something. Along with that he mentions men sugar coat everything in order to please a woman which I completely agree with. Usually in my relationship I am the one to disagree and I want to argue and stand my ground but my significant other makes that difficult because he agrees to every word I say just to make me happy, when I know for a fact he is thinking the opposite.
