I’m sorry…He has too much drama in his own life…I’m also a believer of practicing what you preach. Now he’s got a pyt as a wife and she’s a beauty…but he needs 2 go back and tie those loose ends from his previoius ass relationship…FIRST. Come out with a book that’s called, ‘I fu$%ed up, but this is where I am now, y’all!!’ I might buy it.

My former pastor told me the only thing a divorced person can tell me to do is how to get divorced, NOT stay married.

Fortunately (for his pocketbook) there are lost souls who will shell out money for verbs, adjectives and anecdotes that are spouted by a celeb.

I liked Steve’s book. He seemed on track to me. The sad part is that a man has to tell us to woman up. He didn’t say anything in those 270 some odd pages that many of us don’t already know – we just don’t always do… So read the book Brown Sugar – you just might find out that he may just be worth listening to.

quote; “Taking advice from a man married 3 times. I think he is wrote this book due to his alimony payments. You can fool some of the people some of the time. Bottom line Steve is not someone I would take advise from.”

First, don’t shoot the contents of the book, because of the messenger. Judge it for his own merits. Let’s face it, everyone who write a book, writes it for profit. Some write them for both the message and profit.

quote: “I don’t need advice from a man telling me how I need to run my sex life”.

It doesn’t sound like you listen to anyone but yourself and your own advice so ‘go girl’.
The fact that you call a vagina ‘pussy’ shows me you have very little personal integrity, let alone feminity. No real woman would refer to herself as “pussy’ that is a term guys use.
No, not even a real man would use that verbage. Perhaps you like the word ‘cunt’ also?

smh. Did you even read the article? Or are you just hung up on the word “pussy? Obviously we don’t see eye to eye on these things, but spare me the sanctimonious bullshit.

I think you saying thaqt “SH can take is book and shove it” without first reading it, is a very idiotic statement. How can you possibly judge something so prejudically without knowing what you are judging? I am a white woman. I read the book and found the advice very powerful. Something women should know automatically, but we put ourselves into denial when it comes to guys, because there are guys and then there are men. Just like there are ladies and there are gals. Even though Harvey has been married, divorced and accused of many things…..and even, if it those allegations are somewhat true, perhaps he has learned from his mistakes??? Try judging it…. after you have read it…or perhaps you spread your legs, way too soon in relationships and feel the brunt pain of guilt?

I don’t need advice from a man telling me how I need to run my sex life. If you were a regular reader of this blog then you’d know I don’t feel guilt when it comes to sex. I “spread my legs” when I feel like…not a moment before…and for no other reason than because I want to. I have little tolerance for men who solely judge women based on how many people they’ve slept with. You have to do what’s comfortable for you and no man can tell you what is.

You should read the book first, then your article would sound more intelligent.

THANK YOU!

I’ve been saying, FOR YEARS, that MY (personal opinion) most prized possession is not what’s between my legs, but what is most intangible; my heart and a piece of my mind. It certainly doesn’t mean I go spreading my legs to any ole body, but I find a lot of peace of mind knowing that I own myself (literally) and don’t allow myself to be eroticized and objectified based on my vagina. I really feel like it’s progressive, 21st century, forward-thinking.

I don’t quite understand how you can say he can take his book and shove it when you haven’t read the book yet. Over the years we’ve all heard some of his opinions on this topic of relationships. I DO want to read the book to get a better idea of what he has to say. Not because he’s GOD and knows all. More because I agree with a lot of the things I’ve heard him say in interviews. Things I’ve already known for myself to be true and hearing someone else say it, while putting some humour is great. I agree MzVirgo. Those that have been around the block a few times are sometimes the ones with the best advice. Take the book for what it is. His opinions based on his own life and those around him. As real women who know themselves already, we done know what we’re worth. We’re more than our goodies. Men are different. No matter how much they do know our worth, it’s the other head they think with 1ST. Especially when they don’t even know you yet. It’s just how it is. Could be our eyes, lips, ass, whatever. It’s bait that catches their attention. Remember men are visual. Once they are hooked to our eyes, lips, ass, etc, then they will want to know more.
