I went to the movies to see this, and afterward, I was inspired to read the book. I did read and learned a lot about myself and my characteristics in this book. No it's not a complete science book, but Steve Harvey helped me to explain some of my ways. For instance, I often wonder why I am always looking to help and lend my advise to people (not just in relationships). It is innate for a man to genuinely care about other peoples security. Steve Harvey suggested that, it was taught to me as a boy to be that way. I agreed as I used to be responsible for walking home from elementary school at eight with my little sister who was five, and I had a key to the house and had to stay home alone for about an hour until my mom arrived. I was very responsible and cared for my sister. I am concerned about people being accountable and this book just put these things into perspective as it relates to why I am so strict and demanding. I learned why I am frustrated with people that aren't productive or lazy or takes shortcuts, and people do this when choosing mates by way of settling.

In short, this was just a great book that helped me decide if a mate or business partner is worthy of dealing with them. For men, it's a reverse play book that taught, if a woman is not requiring anything of you, perhaps she doesn't require anything for herself, and you may wanna pass on her.
