Three Lies Women Have Been Told About Men

Steve Harvey recently appeared on the Dr. Oz show. One of his segments was on 3 Lies Women Have Been Told About Men. I admit, I have heard these “lies” and a couple of them I actually believe, however, Mr. Harvey shared a male perspective on the following 3 lies women spread about men:
1. Once a cheater, always a cheater – according to Mr. Harvey, if a man cheats on his wife or mate this does not necessarily mean that he will always cheat and that a man will cheat if he is unhappy in a relationship. Mr. Harvey posed the question that if a man is happy in his relationship, why would he cheat. He went on to say that men can be reformed over time – a man could have been a cheater when he was younger, but this does not necessarily mean that he will continue being a cheater.
2. The way to a man’s heart, is through his stomach – this is one that many women grew up hearing, me included. I was actually motivated to learn how to cook and made strides to become a “very good” cook with the goal of pleasing my future husband. According to Mr. Harvey there is a way to a man’s heart, but it’s not his stomach. The way to a man’s heart is through loyalty, support, and “the cookie.”
3. Men are intimidated by strong women – according to Mr. Harvey, men are not afraid of [strong] women and that the woman needs to realize that she does need a man for something. I once heard the statement that weak men are intimidated by strong women and that a strong man in fact desires a strong woman.
What are your thoughts? Do you believe that a cheating man can be reformed? Is it really true that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach? Are men really intimidated by a strong woman?


I want to hear from you.
