The 3 P's: Provide, Profess, Protect
Steve Harvey: Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man
We love you, but how we demonstrate that love is what I call the three Ps of love: We profess, we provide and we protect.
That is how a man -- if he loves you -- this is how you can tell he loves you: He provides for you. Whatever his economic structure is, he provides for you and he will give you whatever he can. He will profess. If you have been dating a guy for six months, he has a title for you. If after six months, he is still calling you a friend, he has no plans for you. It doesn't take us six months to figure out if you are the one. We are just not that difficult. We are simple people.
The last P is protect. He will let nothing happen to you within his means. A man loves in threes, if he tells you he loves you, but he doesn't protect or provide for you, he is just telling you what you want to hear to get what he wants. He doesn't really love you.

I keep wanting to not like this man, but I think he's right here.
ReplyDeleteThree people I'm keeping my eye on:
Steve Harvey
Tyler Perry
Oprah
They have the ear of black women as it relates to programming, and that makes me automatically cautious....some type of Black Trinity or somethin....
*goes back under the manhole cover*
I agree with the three P's, but this book provides a much more in-depth look at how men think and how some women can actually keep the men they want by establishing boundaries as to what behaviours they will and will not accept. Men, according to this book, are not really interested in women who are pushovers. And, in my experience of non-african American males, this is correct.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to all.

I couldn't agree with you anymore : )
ReplyDeleteThis has gvn women wingz....
ReplyDeleteI have a good guy but he cant provide
ReplyDeleteI have a guy who provides and protects but has not profess...smh
ReplyDeleteI too have one who is good...his 3 P's have been lacking lately though...when I brought this up, of course I'm just being silly.
ReplyDeleteWhat to do with a man lacking one of the P's? What if he can't provide? What to do if he has not professed?
ReplyDeletei have been dating a guy for 10 months his white im asian he still calls me friend and has never not once used the words i love you. he always threatens to leave i have daddy issues and just dont know how to let go. i hold on to those rare good moments. and try to believe that he cares and loves me
ReplyDeleteDo you think the future will be better than the past if you let this continue? No, it won't.
DeleteIf you've been dating for over a year and you're still called friend, either accept or go.
