Act like a Lady, Think like a Man

ha haa, hii sinema niliipenda sana....
kila mtu alijifanya mjanja kwa mwenzie......
I think movie ilijaribu kuweka in situation some of the examples he gives,
ila the book is more interesting I think. funny and a bit machist, though
 
A little extract:

Think about it: the first guy you slept with quicker than ninety days—where is he? I’m willing to bet that you’re probably
not with him. True, there are some people out there somewhere who had sex early in the relationship and are still together to this very day, but that’s rare. More likely than not, a guy who gets benefits early in a relationship, without having to put in work or prove himself, leaves and moves on to a committed relationship with a woman who puts him through some type of probationary period to find out more about him. I’m sure that woman laid out the rules—the requirements—early on, and let her intended know that he could either rise up to those requirements, or just move on.[...]
Hold on, I know what you’re thinking: you’re thinking that if he doesn’t get sex from you, he’ll go and get it somewhere
else, and you will have lost out on that one chance to get him to be your man—or he’ll think you’re playing games if you
make him wait, and he’ll move on to the next woman who’s willing to take him into her bed.
Wrong.
In fact, one of those mind tricks we’ve been playing on women since the beginning of time is to convince you all that
waiting doesn’t matter, that giving it up early and quick is the way to go. Listen to me: if we could convince you that you should strip naked and get to it within the first five minutes of our first meeting, we would. This is not a secret: men love and want sex, and will try (within reason) to get it by any means necessary.
But guess what? He. Can. Wait. Yes, of course you run the risk of scaring him off, but isn’t the guy who sleeps with you
without any obligation to you, or consideration of your wants, needs, and emotional well-being, the one you want to go away? Isn’t reserving something that special for a man who earns it more of a benefit to you? You have the power to make him wait— to prove to you that he deserves your love and affection. The Power. Just think of it this way: when it comes to having sex with a woman, we men don’t decide a thing. We don’t determine when we’re going to sleep with you—that decision is yours. The decision of when we get to kiss you is yours. When we let go of each other’s hug and embrace? That decision is yours.
We put our hands somewhere on your body other than your shoulder and you decide if we can keep touching that place
or if we gotta let it go. Our job is to convince you to give it to us—to allow us to touch it, let us have it. But the decision on whether we actually get to have it is Y.O.U.R.S.

"All you have to do is speak up.
Tell him straight up: "I need you here to protect and provide for us, to give us security in our lives, to help raise these children, to set an example for this boy, who needs to see what real men do, and for this girl, who needs to know what a real man is so she can find one of her own someday. I need you to be the head of this family."
Lay it out like this, and your requirements will trump his mother's every time."

"We men are very simple people: if we like what we see, we're coming over there. If we don't want anything from you, we're not coming over there. Period. Please highlight this part right here so you can always remind yourself the next time a man steps to you: a man always wants something. Always. And when it comes to women, that plan is always to find out two things: (1) if you're willing to sleep with him, and (2) if you are, how much it will cost to get you to sleep with him."

hehehehe, hapa ndipo wengi tuliona hiki kitabu ni cha targeted population.
sio kila mtu yuko tayari kuji belittle kiasi hiki. but there is a chapt on it.
 
Don’t try to fix the sink, the car, the toilet, or anything else—let him do it.
Don’t take out the garbage, paint, or mow the lawn—that’s his job.
Don’t do any of the heavy lifting—he was born with the muscle it takes to move sofas/television sets/bookshelves and the like.
Don’t be afraid to make a meal or two—the kitchen is both your and his friend.
Don’t wear a T-shirt to bed every night—a little lingerie never hurt anyone.

Ha ha ha! kwa wazungu tu na wao wenye kuiga tamaduni za kizungu. Chezeya mfumo dume wa kiafrika
 
hii kitu imenifurahisa sana hasa kwenye kile kitu tunachohitaji na kupewa kwa fikra tofauti..
Mi nasoma tu, na nilijua kitapata wengi wa kuchangia. but as I said, shahuri hizi sio kwa kila mwanamke, just as sio kila mwanaume anae fit in his description of men
 
Kuna tatizo kwani?

Hebu tugeuze dhima kidogo, wewe unaweza kutoka na mwanaume anayefikiri kama mwanamke? Au, unaonaje kutoka na mwanaume anayefikiri kama mwanamke? Inakuja kweli?
You seem to oversee the second part of the tittle.
what he means (I think) is that you should put yourself in the shoes of the opposite sex, but ACT like your own.
So here a woman has to ask herself what a man thinks of XY and Z, in order to adjust her own actions to get what she wants.

I just like a woman who acts like a woman and thinks like a woman or one who acts like a lady and thinks like a lady.

A woman/lady cannot (I think) think like a man. She can want to and pretend to but she can't because she is not wired (read: doesn't have the requisite amount of testosterone) like a man.

I wouldn't want to date a man who thinks like a lady, but I would certainly want him to understand why I act the way I do sometimes. and for that he will have to "think" like me... not all the times, but just enough to make me feel understood.
