Goes along with the types of games we've been talking about on here of late. I watched it last night, decently funny. Worth the $8.50 it cost me.

I kinda wanna read the book though,

    I have the book!! It's a good read. I have yet to see the movie though.

    I liked it. I don't think it can apply to every man though, honestly. But in my case with bf, it does because of the way he is.

    Steve Harvey focuses more on men who aren't too emotional but more manly man who show their love by providing, doing stuff around the house, etc...

    Anywho, I read it a while back and just went to it the other night to refresh my memory. Oh and he tells ladies to do the 90 day rule, fyi.

    Hey I said I read it and liked it.. didn't say I followed it!!

    Boo ya! :wink:

    I don't agree with the 90 day rule because it's a RULE. Nobody is going to tell me how to do this or that. If I make a mistake, well then I'll pay for it and I can't blame anybody.

    So, sorry Steve Harvey but I gave up the cookie long before 90 days...

    The only way I could do the 90 day rule with a guy is if I was having my needs met elsewhere...oh wait..not even then...90 days is preposterous! My friend was bawling at the end of that movie. My colleague has that book sitting on her desk. I just crack up every time I look at the cover and see Steve Harvey's cheesy smile. :bigsmile:

    I agree. It's making it a game. All depends on the two people involved. It was a good movie though.

    Cookie!

    The 90 day rule is ridiculous he kinda pulled it out of his a@@ cause long before he wrote the book he said on his radio show women have to.wait 90 days cause Sears had a 90 day return policy.( I know he changed it in the movie to Ford and gettin job benefits). I was like how they heck do u compare returning a vacuum to having sex with someone?????


    I've always had a 5 date rule cause I felt that if you didn't connect with a woman sexually by the 5th date you probably wasn't going to hit (ooops I meant connect). What say you guys?

    My cookie IS worth the wait but yes, it depends on the 2 people involved.

    ^^ I agree with this... I'll wait 90 days with someone, but I'll be doing my business with someone else during the waiting time... that is just too long and would lead to more problems.

    I read the first chapter on Amazon and I am curious what the rest of the book is on. I may have to pick it up and read it (with an open mind of course). 90 days... come on now!

    The last time I went 90 days was... Well I guess it was when I was deployed so nevermind. Was gonna say high school lol. The movie was alright, but it makes me mad that everyone ended up with their dream partner. I wanted to see someone turn bitter.:laugh:

    As is the case with all these things,including the Farmers Almanac weather forecasts,is that people will always cherry pick the things that in their life and experience seem correct or what they wish was and then ignore/forget about all that isn`t.

    I read a couple of reviews and right off the bat can say he doesn`t represent how I think on some things and suspect a lot of other guys would say the same.

    Read the book.

    I like some parts where others were a little outdated. 90 days is a very long time....

    Anybody could go 90 days with the right mindset.

    It is just a very long time for some people.

    "Right mindset" maybe for you. I think people attach way too much to sex, there's nothing wrong with having sex early unless you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

    Honestly, it looks like more "how to play the game" psychobabble. I'm sure buried in the nonsense there might be some good advice but overall it seems a bit too... Cosmo magazine level of ridiculousness.

    Then again, my problem isn't attaining what I want, it's finding what I want. So this might work really well for someone that functions differently.
