Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man

Three of the ideas you’ll keep

The Clif summary of Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man pulls out 7 insights. Here are the first three.

1. Understand the three things that drive a man's identity, who he is, what he does, and how much he makes, because a man who hasn't 'arrived' rarely settles down, no matter how much he likes you.
2. Recognize a man's love through his actions, not his words: real commitment shows up as the three Ps, he professes you publicly, provides for you, and protects you.
3. Decide whether you're a 'sports fish' or a 'keeper.' Men instantly read your standards; a keeper commands respect by how she carries herself rather than demanding it, and that's what sets you apart from disposable.

The other 4 — and the full 10-minute summary — are in the app.
