To each his or her own but I've always thought its silly that some think people of the opposite sex can't be friends. Steve Harvey should've written a book about what he learned and what part he played in messing up 3 marriages. Please, he needs to shut up.
I'm surprised he thinks he's in a position to think he can tell men and women how to handle their relationships considering he's on his third marriage. Didn't he cheat on his second ex with his current? Please.
Proof is if you fuck another man's wife or if you fuck another woman's husband and you're friends (vice versa), you got problems...and you're a ho. But hey I guess it takes one ho to know one, right Steve? Ho ass n***a.
Steve Harvey has been married 3 times and has only been married to wife #3 since 2007. He can't tell me ANYTHING about relationships.
If I want relationship advice, I am going to ask someone who's been in one for 20+ years, not a marginally talented comedian. But hey, to each his own. His books seem to be selling so someone must be listening to this guy.
Somebody is getting something out of what he's saying, and I have once owned a book by a top selling author who was married five times, and the things she said made a lot of sense. A few of her sayings I have disagreed with, but still. What Harvey needs to do is curb the habit of generalizing, because he cannot speak for 6 million people. I believe that surveys and statistics would help support his claim. Therefore, you will have an idea what some or most men think, and not all. Also, culture plays a factor on what a man thinks, and it is pretty diverse.
Personally I wouldn't rely on books or self-help books if all they're only doing is buffering whatever problems you're going through. I know people rely on these type of books but it can get redundant. I guess book sense trumps common sense.

^ Yeah and before anyone says "well the spouse is as much a ho" that's true too because if you're in a marriage, why the fuck would you risk it with a mistress? Like just don't get married then if that's going to be a problem with you and your female friend...or maybe just don't get in a relationship period.

If you can avoid it, the better. Experience is the best teacher. Evaluate what works for you.
Most men are friends with women because they would jump at more if they were given the chance. Not every guy of course, but come on....generally speaking it's true. I tried to convince myself for years that it's not true...but it totally is.
But I don't agree that men and women can't be or shouldn't be friends because of it.
Well how about a man like myself that can have a (non-sexual) friendship with a woman because I've convince she is a cool MFer that I like to talk to for a second opinion?

I don't think so. Even if the woman is cute and the man wants to do her, that doesn't mean he will act on it or that she would be responsive to it if he did.
If you have self control, you can be friends with a woman and be attracted to her and have it not be an issue, too.
That's just means that you're willing to wait until that other person is over all their bullshit and it can be your turn. When you realy like somebody and are physically attracted to them, you will be their friend but you will always have it on your mind that one day they will see how perfect you are for each other. It's the oldest song and dance in the world.
HOLLER. If you need "self control" not to make a move on a friend, that's not really a friendship. It's a fucked up dynamic with too much tension. AND IN MOST CASES, the physical is what turns a man on. If the girl's fugly, he won't be interested; no worries. Doesn't mean she doesn't wanna fuck him, and that's a sad situation.
You know, in all honesty I really don't care about the book, the plagiarism allegations and the whole charade. Thats his bed of rocks.
What IRKS the hell out of me is the sexist overtones coming out of this guy whenever I make the misfortune of giving him the benefit of the doubt by listening to his show. And to find that his main audience is mostly women is mind boggling to me.
The same case with Tyler - his portrait of black women in his movies are mean spirited at worst, and reinforce stereotypes & stigmatization at best YET black women invade the theatre whenever his movies are playing.

Correction: I meant he cannot speak for 6 billion people.
So, let's go off on a tangent for a second. Hypothetically.
A female (Lovergirl) has a long distance love, and he loves HER, no question about it. She's got it on lock. Loverboy has a group of friends that hang out a lot. One of them is a single female who has gaga eyes for Loverboy. Single Female often hosts game nights at her house for the group, including Loverboy, who spends hours (with the group) at her place. She often singles Loverboy out, conversing with him at most functions they both attend. Single Female has asked about Loverboy and let a few others (not Loverboy directly) know she is interested even after being informed that he has a long distance love. Loverboy sees Single Female as a friend only, and when informed (by Lovergirl because she had heard), had no idea that she had feelings for him. The friendship and group hangouts continue.
What should Lovergirl do? Demand that Loverboy stop hanging out with SWF because essentially, Lovergirl feels disrespected by SWF's intentions? Luxuriate in the fact that she's got it on lock and can't nobody (especially SWF) turn Loverboy's head because he's sprung? Other?

Lovergirl should realize and come to terms with the fact that long distance relationships are not only impractical they just do not work.
It's time to move on and find a love that lives close to you, Lovergirl.
Oh Lovergirl is impractical, no doubt. But moves will be made in this relationship. In fact, Loverboy is moving soon. I just wanted to hear other opinions on the hypothetical.
I think - while it's natural to feel jealous and maybe a little disrespected - Lovergirl should realize the P-control she has and not give any power or energy away to SWF who clearly does not deserve it.
