As a single guy, it also adds to the complexity of trying to fit the ideal mold of the perfect man. A good movie, but should be not be a date movie, because it already adds to the pressure to the typical high first date "standards". Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think about Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment Steve Harvey. It's cute, whimsical, and hard hitting as these couples find out that love cannot be found with a road map or formula, but has to be an odyssey of vulnerability and self discover. While the women are ready for the hunt but are armed with the shield from "the book". In this tale a group of guys are on the prowl and each seeks to find someone. It seeks to set the record straight on the type of men out there: the player, the mama's boy, the dreamer, the non-committal, the divorce guy, and the married man. Based on Steve Havey's bestselling book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, the movie Think Like a Man puts these words into action. Now comes another spin to the web woman can weave to catch a "good"man. ![]() The 21 st century thought drives women to act, think and be independent.

Now Colvin has expanded his article with much more scientific background and real-world examples. The key is how you practice, how you analyze the results of your progress and learn from your mistakes, that enables you to achieve greatness. And not just plain old hard work, like your grandmother might have advocated, but a very specific kind of work. Greatness doesn't come from DNA but from practice and perseverance honed over decades.
