Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man.
By Steve Harvey.
What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, And Commitment.
Chapter 1 Notes: What Drives Men.
Men are simple.
* Men are driven by:
- Who they are.
- What they do.
- How much they make.
* Everything he does is filtered through his title. (Who he is).
* How he gets that title (What he does)
* The reward he gets for the effort. (How much he makes.)
“These three things make up the basic DNA of man-hood-The three accomplishments every man must achieve before he feels like he’s truly fulfilled his destiny as a man. And until he’s achieved his goal in those three areas,the man you’re dating,committed to,or married to will be too busy to focus on you. “
“The pursuit of manhood doesn’t change once a boy is grown. In fact, it’s only magnified. His focus has always been on, and will remain on, who he is, what he does, and how much he makes until he feels like he’s achieved his mission. And until a man does these things, women only fit into the cracks of his life. He’s not thinking about settling down, having children,or building a home with anyone until he’s got three of those things in sync.
I’m not saying that he has had to have made it, but at least he has to be on the right track to making it.
This is the drive that EVERY man has. “
“Encoded in the DNA of the male species is that we are to be the provider and the protector, or the family, and everything we do is geared towards ensuring we can make this happen. “
Men want to feel like they’re number 1.
* The best somewhere.
* In charge.
* They want the bragging rights. The right to say “I’m number one.”
In a man’s world 🌎 he’s going to be judged by other men based on:
* Who he is.
* What he does.
* How much he makes.
“That affects his mood. If you know he’s not where he wants to be, then his mood swings will make more sense to you. His “on the grind” mentality will make more sense to you. It’s ALL tied to the three things that drive him. “
