As they say it’s all in a name. “Open Relationship”

Open:
Accessible to all; unrestricted as to participants:
b. Free from limitations, boundaries, or restrictions

Relationship:

1: the relation connecting or binding participants in a relationship: as a: kinship b: a specific instance or type of kinship
2: a state of affairs existing between those having relations or dealings b: a romantic or passionate attachment

By definition one can’t be open and in a relationship at the same time. These are dictionary definitions of the words. But clearly we all have our own inteperations of the words. This is simlpy a situation in which someone being taking advantage of.

whats the point of gettin married then?…………….i really dont understand people these days!

[...] MORE…  also, check out HelloBeautiful.com to hear what he [...]

what all these open minded people need to realize is that there IS a such thing as being TOO OPEN MINDED!!!!!!!!

thats a big problem our society is having today in my opinion.

remember….if you dont stand for SOMETHING, you’ll fall for ANYTHING!

I believe what steve is sayin is true. Open relationships only work for the man and NEVER will work for a woman because they are emotional beings. BUT like he said a good woman will bring out the best in a man and i believe its vice versa. When a real man knows that he has a real good woman, he wont want to mess that up. And I mean a REAL MAN. In my opinion Open relationships only work for those who have nothing to share, have some insecurities or have something to hide. There are no benefits to an open relationship unless your in it for the count and spontanuity of the game…so not worth it with the rate of STD’s in the US on the rise.

JUSTICE34 when black people say you are “acting white” they dont mean that you are speaking eloquently, being mannerable or any of those good things. stop trying to turn a phrase and make it mean something that you want it to mean. when black people say that, all they are saying is that you are acting CORNY!

Steve we gon f**k you up man lol jk i agree with steve

NO WHEN BLACK PEOPLE SAY YOUR ACTING WHITE THEY BASICALLY SAYING YOUR NOT ACTING GHETTO

Open relationships is a bunch of bull! it is only benifical for the man. We as woman are emotional and think with our emotions whereas a man could careless as long as he getting him some ass, its all good, he sees nothing wrong with anything!

Keep ya legs ‘closed’ & “open relationships” wouldn’t be a problem…

yall kill me with this good woman bad man s**t and all these women swear up and down they know what a real man is. you don’t know what a real man is. you aint never been a man and you never will be. you only know what you think is a real man. as far as open relationships go. i have had them before. they do work. you just have to know how to have them. and it aint just beneficial for the man. quit trying to stick a fork in us. im a man and i don’t claim to know what a real woman is outside of the fact that i know she’s female. i have my preferences and thats it. just about everybody has come across someone who claimed that they didn’t have somebody exclusively, they just had friends. those are open relationships folks. and while yall trying to subtley keep this pin in men being doggish and thirsty for some p***y, i cant count how many women ive dealt with that had numerous open relationships at the same time and they prefered it that way. most real men have come to tearms with the fact that women gone do what they want to with the p***y anyway so we don’t trip, we just do us. peace.

Open relationships do not work. The definition of relationships means that you have a bond to the person. IF you together and made a commitment, then why even say you are in a relationship. You might as well say you are f**k buddies. Open relationships don’t work because it means that a person (or persons) lack commitment. If you can’t stay in a relationshiop act like you are in one. People who are in open relationships are fooling themselfs because they trying to trick themself into thinking that they have some kind of stability. Open relationships are not stable. What if one person has more feelings for the other? Do you just stick by the agreement, or do you stop faking and actually say you are committed to someone? Lets just be honest, if you dont want a relationship, why fake like you are in one.

I don’t believe in open relationships. I’m stingy and don’t wanna share. To me, it will be like having a f buddy or friends with benefits type of thing and what happens with most of those? People catch feelings (man or woman) and the other person may not share them back. So a person will have to decide to either keep the relationship going (which is dumb because the other person may leave them completely for someone else) or move on to someone who would apericate them.
I agreee with Steve, period!

open relationship good i like it. you get what you wanna if you like it you keep it. if you don’t you move on life is beautiful. bye hater.

now don’t get me wrong. im all about the uplifting of women, but not at the expense of my fellow men. people gotta stop trying to make themselves feel good by putting others down. and as far as requirements go, i am one man who wont give a damn about what you require of me. i have high standards enough of myself and if that aint good enough for her, she can bounce. nobody drives my truck but me. i aint about to let nobody tell me that i have to keep trying to meet the standards of somebody who aint never satisfied anyway. men need to have standards of their own and take charge of their own lives and up their own game. when you do that, then you aint gotta worry about meeting somebody elses standards because they will be trying to meet yours.

I think that is the point they were trying to make is that open relationships DONT work you said you have been in open relationships and they do work so why arent you still with that or those individuals! Either you with someone or youre not if you still feel the need to lay with someone else and the other person is ok with it that doesnt mean your not in a relatiionship its def some sort of a relationship but in the long run it wont work!

no matter what people say everyone is jelous if there not a little apprehensive of their partner sleeping with others then then the really just dont care about the person and will be booted for someone they do care about.

No matter the subject the n****rdom comes out! Very sad! IDK about people and their relationships there is not a answer to this problem its been here forever and will continue to be! I think people need to be more humble and honest instead thinking everybody has a trick under their sleeve. alot of women I have met have been scarred by their past men have been also thats why u date without screwing everybody then u wont feel as bad if it dont work! the sad part is above average looking,educated and employed black women out number the same caliber of black men prolly 10-1 well thats a good thing for me lmao!! shout out to my frat steve go head and hustle these folks and get that money lmao

Open relationships don’t make any sense to me. You are single. If you are single, then why are you trying to commit to multiple people? Just be single. If you want to date more than one person, then be single and date. Be honest. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be committed, so why call it a relationship? Just do you.

A lot of what Mr. Harvey is saying does hold some truth to it. However, it all boils down to the individual. Open relationships can work if both people lay down some ground rules. And if those ground rules become an issue, that’s your red flag that you need to keep moving. First of all, when a open relationship is suggested, that’s your red flag not to open your legs because for some reason somebody wants to perform ‘tests’ and you are a human, not a lab experiment. So use the opportunity to develop a friendship and check out their personality while getting to know other poeple yourself. Make sure their is no sex involved and make it know to everyone that you’re just getting to know people and enjoying yourself and that’s it. Nothing more and nothing less. In this way, you set yourself up for some fantastic social outings and possible future friends. In the end you will still have your respect and maybe they will grow to really like and respect you. If not, oh well then “another one bites the dust” and keep moving.

i am soooo damn glad i am in an OPEN RELATIONSHIP! no sneaking around, lying, hiding, and i dont have to get jealous and neither does she! we have a very understanding and loving relationship as well as mature conversation and our friends for the most part are understanding. we pick our friends carefully and they seem to understand that its not what you do, but HOW you do it!!! most even say they WISH they could do what we do without the sacrifice and deception and guilt if they could be themselves, both MEN & WOMEN!!!! THAT IS WHY I LOVE HER AND SHE ME!!!

um can sumbody please say STD’S with an open relationship?

Steve has a very good point. Personally speaking, because I can’t possibly speak for everyone, open relationships are a waste of time. First off, why call it a relationship if there is no true commitment, Secondly, it is just a way of saying, I don’t really want to be with you, but i’d “hit” on a regular. I’ve realized that thinking that you are going to change an open relationship into something more serious just because you caught feelings means nothing at all. Move on, find something more substantial and worth putting the title of a relationship on to. If you want to just have sex, just have sex, don’t call it an open “relationship”!

you either will or you wont, do or you don’t. a open relationship isn’t a relationship. that’s just playing the field. if i want to get serious with someone, it will be with just that one person. there’s nothing wrong with dating around just make sure that everybody is on the same page so no one gets hurt and everyone knows the boundaries. but that’s not any type of real relationship. call it what it is… dating!

Um…..last time I checked…….a “romantic relationship” meant that you were connected to someone else…..so how can it be open?…….are you supposed to give (permission) to your significant other to see other people?……if that is the case, then the relationship is no more…….you’re just pretty much dating…….and if that’s what people want to do…..then just be open and honest and NOT SAY you want to be in a relationship when you KNOW you really don’t.

The book is really great and I enjoyed it.

well as stupid as it all sounds, i think that we all have tried the ” open thing” once or twice. and i also feel that some women ; just like men like that ” non commitment thing”. it just doesn’t work for every body. and i think that once we as women realize that we are worth sooooooooooooooooo much more we require more, and that is the turning point that we must live thru to really understand how stupid the open thing was. lyfe is about learning when we stop learning is when we just exist

I can’t say that I personally relate to the whole “open relationship” thing. You are either committed to some one exclusively or your pretty much just “DOIN YOU” aka living the single life. Too many folks trying to stamp the label “relationship” on any ole mess, when the actions say otherwise! Not ready for a committment ? STAY SINGLE!

I can feel the book. I know what I want in my life. So the book give some good points.

As others have said, a real relationship is with “one” person. Friends are just that …friends. When you start going beyond being a friend (being romantic, etc.) what you are doing is morally wrong if u have that type of relationship with more than one person at a time. Just like the title says, a lady should act like a lady, thereby respecting herself. Guys might not always say it, but they respect you more if you do the right thing. If you know how Steve Harvey won his wife’s heart, you will understand completely. People forget that the purpose of dating is to find your soul or life mate, not to just “get your freak on”..lol!

Steve definitely gives good advice. He has encouraged me to get over a relationship and move on. I respect what he says… An open relationships are for ppl that are immature, afaird of commitment, and still want to play games. It means you or the other person still want to look around because something is missing from the one that person is with. Thats what makes an open relationship play a role– pros: finding true love in another person; cons: waste of time, more exposure temptation, and of stds and stis, then stay with the person you was already with. But when that person finds true love they will imply to 1 Corinthians 13:11… –When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

Open relationships does not work, its more important to stay single if the other person can’t commit. Enjoy being single, GOD is in control the right person will come. Steve you have great advice.

l do not believe in open relationships l ve tried that before, its for people who out to do them and just have fun jumping from one person to another. As woman sooner or later our feelings get caught up and then we are wanting more and he is like well we dont go together you knew what it was anyway, so no open relationships do not work if you are a really a sincere woman who cherishes her body and mind.

no i dont think open relatioship is good if you really love someone it should be that person and that person only when you start a open relationship people start having feelings and hurting a person feeling can cause a lot of trouble for either side love is a powerful word you cant tell someone you love them then starting acting brand new life is to short to tring to play with someone feelings true fact some people fall in that they cant see that other person with no one thats why people be killing there spouse or even hurting them real bad behind being jealous i feel open relationship someone is fishing for something dont never think the grass is greener on the other side

I am from Chicago and Steve’s Harvey’s radio show is heard in Chicago.
I have his book and I’m very proud of his success of comedy, radio and now his written works.

The topic open relationship is the old expression that is used by men today.
The new game is “The Internet Player The Player’s Game ”
Everything a man does today allows him to play games ;
the cellphone, E-mails, the Internet, Caller Id all of these items above are toys for the men to play the player’s Game.
Most men don’t want to commit to one women because there are too many toys that gives them that open opportunity to cheat and play games with the minds of women.

What do we need to do as women ?
Shut them down !
Just ask and I’ll tell you how !

Open relationship is basically you telling your partner dont ask me where im going so i dont have to tell you where i’m going. The person that is most most open for the open relationship is basically just holding on to that individual while they go on there quest to see if something bettercomes along if not they will bASICALLY settle for you because you are the second best thing.

Open relationship? Yall ain’t nothing but swingers running from one orgy to the next. You may as well group up in one house and keep it real. I do not condon open relationships and believe in being monogamous.

Some of the best video footage Ive seen on here. I agree with what his words relay the the listeners. Im a young black attractive man that is aware of what Ive done in the past (as far as relationships) to be wrong and Ive took time to myself to fix them. Now Im looking and boy is it hard to find a good woman! Ladies…you complain about not finding good men but TRUST, it is just as hard for us good men. Thank you Mr. Harvey for speaking with some class for the black male race.

OPEN RELATIONSHIPS NEVER WORK.DISTANCE IS NOT GOOD.TO ME,IT MAKES BOTH PARTIES STRIVE TOO HARD NOT TO F***K UP BUT END UP DOING SO ANYWAY AND IT LEAVES THEM TOO MUCH IDLE TIME.NOT GOOD……….

Most people nowadays are having open relationships, even when they don’t know it. :)

I feel that this kind of relationship can work for mature women who were maybe deeply emotional with their man at the beginning but now have too much on their plate(i.e. Climbing the ladder in the Corporate World,Low Sex Drive after childbirth,Personal drama issues that keep you out of the mood for intimacy,medical problems,or hormonal problems that have a woman less interested in sex) but still want to remain in the marriage/relationship. It has been proven that most brotha’s aint leaving their wife or significant other if she is a really good thing;even after having hot sex with another woman. Some very intelligent and knowledgeable sistas know this and don’t mind even being friends or shopping with the “other woman” because she knows that the other woman will give her husband a piece of ass whenever she has had a hard day at work and don’t want to come home and be bothered. A lot of people fail to realize that women are not as emotional as some men want to think and can be just as strategic as a man.Men just want sex but women could want anything from the rock on her finger , a house, benefits etc. and as long as a man is giving it to her, she could care less about what the hell her man does as long as he is good to her , not abusive and uses a condom and safe sex whenever he’s with someone else.

WHY EVEN CALL IT A RELATIONSHIP IF YOU’RE WITH OTHER PEOPLE?? LIKE HE SAID YALL ARE JUST SEEING EACHOTHER
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN OPEN RELATIONSHIPS ARE GREEDY…GOTTA HAVE THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TO
OPEN RELATIONSHIPS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO GET VERY MESSY
I THINK WHEN YOU’RE TRULY IN LOVE WITH ONE PERSON THEY ARE ALL THE MAN/WOMAN YOU NEED…I MEAN IF THIS PERSON IS SATISFYING YOU THEN WHY DO YOU NEED OTHER PEOPLE?
OPEN RELATIONSHIPS ARE JUST AN EXCUSE TO BE A HOE
THERE’S NO POINT IN BEING TOGETHER IF YOU’RE GOING TO BE WITH OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL

You know why ahould you be considered together if one or both of you are seeing other people? It makes no real sense at all. As a black man who has had the what some would call pleasure of stroking so many different fenales i have come to learn like this…If she/her mindset isnt along the lines of we are striving to walk in our destiny, being closer to god so as to achieve the things we can not do alone. She just as well keep on steppin. Because then what do you seem to have left? material? sexual? Those things which are primitive. Animalistic even when you just get right down to it.

That is why the short of it is this with me. I have come to believe in that saying a womans heart should be in God, therefor a man would have to search for god in order to find it. It is so true. Everything that a woman desires in a man is found in a real man, a real man that has a real relationship with God! Not make believe, hoodwinkin, backbiting, lyin, jackleg preachin, sleepin wit sista snotgrass type stuff. But the real deal. Alot of people dont want to hear it but that is where it’s at Take my word. When god gives you who you should have aint a demon in hell that can take it from you. I know some couple like that. it is just WOW to see them together. Doesnt make you envy or be jealous, but you know it, you feel it in your heart, what they have, thats what i want in my relationship. Real love. Real peace. Real understanding. Joy. Im tellin yall its amazing.

Wondering when did steve harvey become dr. phill? The only person that knows if open relationships work is those that are in them! Experience is the best teacher and anything else is fraudulent on this subject.

Well I am engaged and very happy with my fiancee he is a great man. Everyone has there own opinion on this topic and mine is if you are going to have an open relationship, then dont be together. It causes nothing but problems. Also with condoms or without them, there are too many diseases and HPV can be contracted even if you wear a condom, once a woman contracts HPV, the virus itself can cause cancer. I am glad that my fiancee and I are faithful. Open relationship is as dangerous as domestic violence. I mean please in todays society there are crazy people out there and too much bs going on. So if you are not ready to be committed to someone or you fall out of love with them then you need to tell them!

Im sure Most men are for it and women arent cause there aunt enuff men to go around but as long as she cool with it could be the BEST thing.. peace

Steve tells it like it is…I just watched that short video clip. Ladies you REALLY need to listen to him. He is telling the truth!!

An open relationship is a very honest relationship where you are required to keep your emotions in check. If you cant do that then its is what Steve Harvey was talking about. Every guy is faithful until he is caught cheating and if he’s good he wont be. Open relationships he can say what he’s doing and actually give you a choice of dealing with it or not. But ladies you can also pull those jealousy strings on him too.

I have read and heard some interesting point of views on the subject matter at hand. I commend Steve Harvey’s attempt to share wisdom and experience with the community at large. We are all human and fall short of the Most High’s will. However, it is no excuse to remain out of line with the universal principles that the Creator of life(whatever a person calls him) ordained in the beginning.So keep this in mind brothers and sisters. Yet this is not a cross-examination of the writer of the material,but the content at hand.

I would like too begin by using some principles found in the Bible and other religious text as principle reference points.”Judge not, least ye be Judged”, “A person reaps what they sow”. “God is the head of Man, Man is the head of Woman, Woman is the head of children”, As as Man or Woman thinketh, so is He or She” And finally, “The Truth will set One Free”. We will also touch on the matter of what constitutes a man. Yet stop for a moment, and just ponder on the principles for awhile. These principles are extremely powerful and relevant for the rest of my blog.

Let me begin by saying that I am a blackman in my 30′s. I am a business owner and I am single. I too have played the game, the game of lies, cheating,betrayal,pimping etc…only too come to the realization that I am out of balance. The reason I was out of balance was several things. 1) Lack of Knowledge of my function and how it pertains to my environment. 2) What I constantly always found myself focusing on or thinking about. 3) Who I allowed into my space, or environment. All of this contributed too my own madness and dissappointment with self and our beautiful,wonderful sisters.

First lets go back to a major source of our sorrows and madness. I am talking about the Slave Trade that affected our forefathers and mothers. The purpose or function of slavery was to break the role and function of the family,man and woman. Men were transformed from their right mind to beastiality; that of a domesticated animal. Much like a well-trained dog. Women, by the way were the first slaves, they were reduced from their right minds to prostitutes and chattel as well. Women were some of the first slaves because our beautiful sisters are the first teachers of ourselves and humanity.So when the Slavemaster broke the woman,,everything was and is broken as well. The Slavemaster had too break our women and instill fear,distrust,and resentment in them that would be dished out on brothers..You often hear from our sisters mouths,” I dont need no man, You aint nothing and aint about nothing, He aint got nothing..his dreams are crack dreams and he dont know what he is doing…..”.This is a Fact my brothers and sisters. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE MOVIE SANKOFA….THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE……..so the effects of slavery has been passed down via DNA and environment to our present day. The only problem now, is that we are educated free slaves with no true healing in the wings…still waiting on someone else’s approval and the such. We as a people are proud of our ignorance of self and each other as it pertains to men and women in relationships. With no end in sight. Not only are men and women 100% dissatisfied, but now our children are suffering beyond belief and are only acting out what they see in their parents and society. Now natural men are wanting and acting out the women’s role and women now, are wanting and acting out the man’s role. In the end, as many people know, its anything goes now…THATS SCARY ON MANY DIFFERENT FRONTS. It is possible that we as people can become extinct if we stay on our present course. Pondered on that brother and sisters. KNOW THYSELF..GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING.

An adult is a being that is physically mature and able to make sound decisions based on what we know as facts and is responsible for his or her decisions. Pondered on that for a minute brothers and sisters. Responsible means that whatever decision an adult makes, they are personally accountable for the results or consequences. I AM GOING TO SAY IT AGAIN..PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE………..nobody else…nobody held a person’s life at stake for an adult too make a decision. Now the question is…how does this pertain too Men and Women, yet,especially the Blackman. Lets see. Dear brothers, lets be honest and admit, which is no more or less than confession,that not enough of us have focused on breaking the conditioning of the past and modern day slavery. Lets admit we are focusing too much on the wrong things, all the while wanting the right things which is peace,prosperity,joy, brotherhood,family, being a Father, Husband, and Friend too name a few. Lets admit, that we dont know how to escape our present condition, and/or reluctant to ask those who may be able too help. There is nothing wrong dear brothers for asking for help…..Question..what kind of help should I be asking for….Lets begin by asking the GOD WITHIN YOU FIRST….For behold the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand, it is within you. Hence Seek Ye the Kingdom of Heaven first, and all these things will be added unto you…What will be added. God will provide you with all that you need with a little bit of what you want…You will be able too take care of yourself, mentally,physically,financially,emotionally,socially, and spiritually. By doing so, then you can entertain strongly the idea of marriage, household,kids etc….Because make no mistake brothers as you already know, the subjects of marriage,kids, household will and should come up at some point in time during your courting,dating, relationship or whatever you want to call it. Here is where The Truth will Set You Free. Be honest with yourself and her. Let her know up front, if you are just about sex, let it be so. She only has herself too blame if she agrees to your proposition and expects otherwise. Yet brothers dont promise her the world and you know without a shadow of a doubt that you cannot deliver. Hence, you are a liar and she will respond accordingly.BEHIND EVERY NO GOOD WOMAN, THERE IS A NO GOOD MAN….. Think about that…….So whatever you do brothers be true to it….hence the world will be true too you. Some people call it…THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. Now lets speak on our beautiful sisters.

Lets admit brothers, there is nothing like a beautiful sister who respects herself inside and out. Yet reality says, not all of our sisters and women throughout the world are there yet. Sisters the same principles apply to you as they do to the men. Stop lying, stop feeling that you have to lye and validate yourself thru a man and games. Admit or confess dear sisters, that do you really love the God of the Universe and his principles; or do you love a created God that has been pulled over your eyes that had its beginings in Slavery. I am talking about Money. Be honest sisters about how you feel about money and the controlling of someone outside of yourself. Sisters ask yourself, do you know enough about the God of the Universe and what he expects of you as well. Why he created you, etc…..Your role or function. Admit dear sisters, what has been passed down via your grandmothers,mothers,aunts,sisters,neices, neighbors etc…..Examine what has been passed down via conversations and see if you have the desired results you say you want in life. Just remember, the Moon needs the Sun, it is not the case in reverse. Do you know the real meaning of marriage? Or is it something to do, or acquired want because your friends and family members are getting married. Ask yourself these questions and more dear sisters.

I hope this has uplifted some brother or sister somewhere; even more so humanity. Everyone, stay in prayer and stay focused on what matters most in life. Hence keys too success.

Peace 2 All,

I apologize to everyone for not including this in my other blog. An open relationship is no more or no less what two people agree upon. Is it good,bad,or indifferent. That is totally up to the people involved. Now whether it is right in the eyes of the religious, that is a different story. However, judge not, least ye be judged. Yet dont blame everyone else if things dont work out. For example, all men are this, all women are that. That is simply not true. But whatever a person does, be true too it.

Peace 2 All,

Open relationships do not work! Open relationships leave a bad taste especially in women. I know some women who have sought revenge on the other women involved with their men because of the relationship being open.If you’re gonna have a open relationship, you might as well not BE in a relationship at all. It really defeats the purpose of calling it a relationship.

ok I am blogging about this on my page…I love Steve and yes it is his opinion….I am wondering why men are willing to accept his opinion as a way of communicating with their partner, if you give me the book, I am going to look at u like you must be joking…….and?

There is no such thing as an “open relationship” if it’s open then it’s not a relationship. It just means he is gettin his cakes and eating it too. Think about it he is having sex, when he wants with the woman whenver he wants, he doesn’t have to have no committment to her, he hits it, then goes, to the next chick, while the woman gets all caught up in her feelings. I think it is just plain stupid, and just a new term that means sex with no strings, that’s all it is. If u are in a relationship it means you and one other person, not more. It means that you 2 people do things with eachother that only ya 2 can do, you 2 share things, not just sex. For a woman to accept an open relationship she is just being dumb, he just wants to be able to have clear sex with no strings and just wants to make u the woman think that ya 2 are in a relationship hence why he uses that word. If u want to be in an open relationship know that the only thing u r doing is having sex, he has no ties for u. Just plain stupid, respect yourself, and no better.

When did Steve Harvey become a relationship expert?, lol. I thought he was a comedian my bad. Anyway he’s been married and divorced so does he know it all I think not. Ultimately people end up doing what they feel is best for them regardless to what anyone has to say about it.

Open releationships are doomed from the start. At first everything is great, the man get to play around and the woman can do the same. But, we are humans with feelings and one of the parties will want and need the other party to be exclusive to one person (me). So in the end the emotional needs to pair with one other person will win in the end.’

POETIC SISTER GET REAL HES BEEN THROUGH IT BEFORE SO HE HAS SOME ADVICE TO GIVE AND HE NEVER SAID HE WAS A EXPERT JUST BEEN THROUGH IT ENOUGH TO GIVE A LITTLE ADVICE TO HELP US OUT WHEN WE ACTIN LIKE SULTS, HOES, AND DUMB ASSES FOR MEN HE DONT WANT US TO BE LIKE THAT AND LIKE HE SAID THATS WHY YOU HAVIN PROBLEMS NOW WITH MEN.

Steve announced many times that he is not a RELATIONSHIP EXPERT he is a man……..and his book was written from a mans point of view ONLY…..get the book and read it ya’ll might like it…and he says many times throughout the book that he is not an expert…..He has experienced a lot and done a lot….and has lots of male friends with different experiences……NO one is saying just cuz he came out with the book that his way was the only way and there for the right way….its purely his opinion and experiences……..i never knew just because someone didnt go to school for relationships specifically….that meant they couldnt have good advice……I pretty sure we all go 2 someone for advice…..& sometimes it is very good advice & might not even have a degree in nothing….but they got wisdom & maybe experiences….And that is really all that it needed for giving advice.
