Act Like a Lady – Think Like a Man

It’s the number one relationship book online and in the bookstores. He’s been on Oprah. He’s just been named a special correspondent on parenting and relationships for Good Morning America. It’s been out since the beginning of the year, and it just made it into the Cyber-Dating Expert Reading Room.

You may be wondering, what took it so long? When ABC announced last week that Harvey would be joining the team, I finally went out and purchased his best-selling book.

You may have already read the book. But if you have not, I recommend Steve Harvey’s book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment for all the women who really want to know how men think.

It’s a simple book with a basic no brainer approach to understanding the male species. Harvey has his 90-day probationary rule and advises women not to “put out” before that time. He says you are worth the wait. He calls it the “cookie.”

The book helps women get into the mind-set of a man by listing three important facts on how a man looks at himself.

• Who he is
• What he does
• How much money he makes

Harvey also adds three things that every man needs in a relationship from a woman.

• Support
• Loyalty
• The “Cookie”

I call the “cookie” dessert. From a male’s standpoint, it’s the reward for his hard-working dollars. If a woman isn’t providing sex to her man, Harvey claims he WILL go elsewhere. It’s a simple tough-love formula and a terrific book.

The Truth About Men Will Set You Free

It was with great anticipation that I waited for the arrival of Dr. Pat Allen’s latest book, The Truth About Men Will Set You Free: …but first it’ll p*ss you off! I am a huge fan of her best-selling book, Getting to ‘I Do’ and have attended her workshops. 

The subject of science in mating and relationships is a huge topic right now. Many online dating sites have personality profiling, there is gene testing, and yet we are still so confused about how to mate successfully. 

In her book, which is co-authored by Don Schmincke, Pat Allen defines the rule of mating. She stated that guys use “things” to prove love and girls use “love” to prove things. She goes further by stating that “love is what females give sex for and sex is what guys give love for.” Does it sound confusing? Not if you read this book. According to Dr. Pat Allen, this is why guys can program the VCR better than women. Dr. Pat Allen has been studying this for over 30 years. She should know.

She encourages women to let their estrogen roll and to capitalize on body language with these tips:

• Eyes: Paint them.
• Lips: Make them red.
• Clothing: Stress the female shape.
• High Heels: Use’em.
• Breasts: Expose them.
• Exercise and Diet: You know this.

Pat tells women,  ”You might let your guy know that he could have a better chance of whispering “sweet nothings” to you in your left ear versus your right. Then again, you might not want to.”

Why Hasn’t He Proposed?

Have you ever found yourself in the terrible position where you have given the man of your dreams the big ULTIMATUM? Unfortunately, I did once, and yes it did backfire on me. Since that time, I learned my lesson well, and know it will never happen again.

While I was on a recent trip to New York, I had the pleasure of meeting Matt Titus and Tamsel Fadel, the authors of this terrific book, Why Hasn’t He Proposed?: Go from the First Date to Setting the Date. I love their style and thought I would share it with you in this month’s Reading Room on the Cyber-Dating Expert site.

Matt Titus and Tamsen Fadel are relationship experts and their book will hit home for many. They are happily married and the duo has appeared as relationship experts in Lifetime’s  ”Matched in Manhattan.”

This book is this commonsense guide on if, when, and how you can get your man to pop the question.

In this book you will learn how to:

• Determine if he’s truly “Mr. Right”-or hopelessly “altarphobic”
• Figure out why he’s afraid to get married-and how to calm those fears
• Get him to propose without nagging, crying, or issuing ultimatums
• Start your relationship off on the right track

This guide is shows you the perfect, no-pressure way to take your love to the next level-with “he says, she says” insights, relationship “red flags,” long-term secrets for lasting success, and real-life stories from the author’s famous dating service. It even includes a relationship timetable that will tell exactly when to take the next step-straight down the aisle to the marriage of your dreams.

I recommend this book to readers, and wonder if my life might have been different if it was available years ago. But then again, life is filled with lessons learned.

Enjoy!

Why He Didn’t Call You Back

It happens to the best of us. You have that magical date. That rare feeling of being in the company of someone you are excited about. You go home and call your girlfriends to let them know there was chemistry. You are sure he felt it too. You talked about getting together again, but sadly, he disappeared. There was no phone call, email, or anything. Poof! He was gone.

If this sounds familiar and you REALLY want to find out how to prevent this from happening again, you need to read Rachel Greenwald’s new bestselling book, Why He Didn’t Call You Back: 1,000 Guys Reveal What They Really Thought About You After Your Date.

Rachel conducted “Exit Interviews” with 1000 men who didn’t call back after a date or flirtation. Rachel is a renowned dating coach with a Harvard MBA. She lists the Top Ten Date-Breakers in her book.

According to People Magazine, “Rachel Greenwald…has taught thousands of mature women hot to meet Mr. Right.” She was a recent guest on the Today show and will be my featured guest on the Ask the Cyber-Dating Expert Radio Show on Saturday, May 16, 2009 at 2 pm ET/11 am PT.

You will be able to call in and ask her questions directly about her research and learn how to ALWAYS get that call.

Love Child

It was a privilege and honor to meet the lovely Allegra Huston, sister of Anjelica and daughter of the legendary director, John Huston, at her book signing and appearance at The Council of the Library Foundation of Los Angeles.

Her new book, Love Child: A Memoir of Family Lost and Found, is an emotional story of her life starting as a child at the age of four, with the tragic car accident death of her mother. Shortly there after, she was introduced to a man and was told, ‘This is your father.”  The man was legendary film director, John Huston. At the age of twelve, she was then shocked as she was introduced to her biological father, the British aristocrat  John Julius Norwich.

She spoke about her family dynamics, including attending the funeral of her legal father, John Huston along with her sister Anjelica and Jack Nicholson.  As she read excerpts from her book, we listened and all felt her warmth and sorrow as she shared her emotional stories with the group.

Allegra Huston shows great strength as she shares the details from her painful memoir, including finding out that she was a “Love Child” which resulted from an affair her mother had, to the sadness of having no memory of ever being in her mother’s arms, to having two high-profile fathers. She shares her love and acceptance of her large extended family.

I applaud Ms. Huston for her courage to share her stories with the world. She is now happy and living in New Mexico with her son Rafael, and his father.

Rubies in the Orchard

It was with great joy and anticipation that I waited for the arrival of Rubies in the Orchard: How to Uncover the Hidden Gems in Your Business, The Pom Queen’s Secrets to Marketing Just About Anything.

She shares 3 components for success which include value, a unique selling proposition, and transparency and community.  Her examples include the healthy benefits of Pomegranate juice with POM Wonderful, a “Taste of Paradise” with FIJI Water, and her mantra of giving back to the community where she calls “green, the new black.

Anyone in business, especially in these difficult financial times, will benefit from Lynda’s first hand experience which includes, Franklin Mint, Teleflora, POM Wonderful, FIJI Water, and Paramount Farms.
