Transformation Thursday: Straight Talk: No Chaser

I went in Walmart to purchase a card and gift bag and walked by New York Times best-seller Steve Harvey's new book Straight Talk No Chaser.  Curious as I was since I read his first book, Act like a Lady, Think like a Man, which gave him the accolades, I wanted to know if he was giving it to us women straight no chaser.  I quickly grabbed the book and purchased it to see if Steve Harvey hit the mark on being "real".  To not give the bookaway and to not make this post over 250 words, Harvey highlights many of the issues women had with his first book and re-examines them by relating them to his two failed marriages and current marriage to wife Marjorie.  He breaks down the male psyche by giving us examples of what men think of while at certain times in their lives.  For example, a male in his twenties is looking to go to college, learn a trade, pursue a masters degree, and so on.  Only when men get to be around twenty seven or twenty eight they start thinking about being financially stable and looking to fulfill their career goals.  He used the analogy men in their twenties financial clock is like a women in her twenties biological clock.  I interviewed a few men in their twenties to see if this held true they are money chasers.  From my conclusions, those who are graduated and making a mark in their careers do indeed want to be financially stable before entering into a committed relationship.  So, now the question comes to mind.  Do women wait for those men to get themselves together?  Or, do we seek other companionship until those men get their money right?  All in all Steve Harvey gave it to us Straight Talk No Chaser and you will see another side of Harvey, the father and husband, but will enjoy reading his witty, funny satires about his personal life.


Keep the Faith!

Until next time,
