Think Like A Man: Conquer Thine Enemy
Think like a man!
Yes think like a man. Why in the world would a woman want to do that?
Why would Steve Harvey suggest that? I know, I know, the book came out years ago.
However; the movie based on the concept of his book just came out recently so I thought it would be a great segue for me to elaborate on the topic. Why elaborate? I have the notion there are women who read the book but found Steve’s points invalid. Interestingly, a book was written in response to Steve Harvey’s book titled “Why Do I have to think like a man?” This indicates to me there is disagreement, and discontent with Steve Harvey’s book by “some” women.
Now, the reason women should think like men, pay attention this is an important point. You want to be able to conquer your “enemy”. What?…. What enemy?! Let me explain. If you know your enemy you can conquer him. One method of conquering your enemy in battle is to know your opponents strategies, abilities, strengths….etc. If you agree with that concept then what I am about to say should be easy to conceptualize. Now of course we know that your lover is not your enemy but, if you think like your enemy (lover) you can conquer him. You can conquer him, mentally, with love, in order, to have a “peaceful loving relationship”, as well as being able to have him be “agreeable and accommodating“, to your point of view most times. So in actuality the term “conquer” really means in my dictionary “a method to achieve harmony“. This is what you should want. So if you don’t want harmony in your relationship then continue thinking “only like a woman”. After all are we not supposed to complement or complete one another. If that is true then one must think from a holistic or complete perspective. Not just a feminine or masculine perspective.
Now, what do I mean when I say this. In my opinion, women should be able to master how men think, and understand a man’s perspective, whether you agree with it or not, do it in order to understand them better so you can communicate with them more effectively. Ultimately, taming (conquering) him to achieve peace and happiness, as well as, getting him to perform, or behave the way you want. The ladies may not agree with this but, men, particularly the “players”, gain the upper hand on women because, when men want to, they think like women, in order to gain an advantage over women emotionally, mentally and physically. Do you really think, he thinks, you’re the most beautiful girl he has ever been with? Do you really think he wants to cuddle with you all the time? Do you really think he wants to talk to you all the time? Do you think he really wants to take you out? This is learned behavior by men from being observant to the wants and baby cries of women, to maintain some peace, and if he is really on his “A Game” to be a ladies man, or at least the apple of his wife’s eye, these are some of the things he will do, and say in order to have peace, and tranquility in his home, and life or, to at least, have things go his way most of the time.
So for those beating up Steve Harvey and saying he is just trying to sell a book and he can’t talk because he cheated on his wife yada yada yada. Write your own book. Let’s see how you fix this mess the women are in. It is not the messenger it is the message. At least he has introduced a possible solution. If you are so caught up in being an independent woman, that you are too arrogant to not take the advice from a “man” about strategies to get in tune with “how men think”, than being in a healthy relationship is something you don’t want. So, if you have to ask why do I have to think like a man, and you are dead set against doing it. Then the words “you need to get in touch with your feminine side” better not ever come out your @*&%##* mouth ever again. Don’t ever ask a man to try to see things from a woman’s point of view ever again. If you can’t do it why should he? Steve actually gave you women a gem. But as they say you can’t feed pearls to swine. As a matter of fact, to the men, the next time some woman says to you get in touch with your feminine side, respond with get in touch with your masculine side so you can think logically for once.
