"Straight Talk No Chaser" starts by outlining how men are likely to feel about relationships according to their age. A man in his late 20s is likely to be so focused on making a career that marriage isn’t on the agenda. A man in his 30s having achieved some stability may be ready for a monogamous relationship. By his 40s a man is in his prime, happy to have a home and family, and in his 50s he wants to solidify his legacy.
Harvey believes marriage is the completion of manhood and laments that men are not more willing to share the benefits of it. If you’re a woman who wants marriage consider what "Straight Talk" offers.
First, if you want a committed relationship do not settle for less. Simply put, if a man can have you without a commitment, he is not likely to make a commitment. If you don’t make marriage a requirement he won’t.
Second, it’s crucial to question a man early in the dating process. According to Harvey, a man will always answer your questions in a way that puts him in the best light. The chapter on how to effectively question a man is worth the price of admission, alone.
Third, no sex for 90 days. Why 90 days? Because if a man is not willing to give you time to decide he is worthy of you, he is not the man for you.
Steve Harvey is not a therapist. It should be noted he is on his third marriage. Ex-wife Mary accuses Harvey of multiple affairs. His current wife, Marjorie, was his mistress during his marriage to Mary and claims that he abandoned her and turned their son Wynton against her. Even so, relationship experts like Dr. Pat Allen and Millionaire Matchmaker Patti Stanger endorse similar policies.
"Straight Talk No Chaser" is an enjoyable easy read that's bound to prompt a lot of discussions.
