SPORTS FISH OR KEEPERS. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?




I'm reading a book by Steve Harvey called Act like a Lady, Think Like a Man.

This book is amazing so far. I must share a key subject in the book that I think woman need know.

Ladies that are blaming men for treating you like an object (sports fish), maybe you should take sometime for your self and evaluate the type of person you're portraying yourself to be.



According to Mr. Harvey, a sports fish is a woman that doesn't have any rules, requirements, or respect for herself. Men can smell these girls coming. They are the party gals. The ones who take a sip of their long island ice tea or taking that shot of Patron and then announces to her date that she "wants to just date and see how it goes". This girl does not hold and restrictions to men and men can treat her in any kind of way they please. Men will stand in line for these girls, that's for sure.



Then there is what he calls a "Keeper". This girl never gives in easily, she has high standards and requirements and you can notice that from the moment she opens her mouth. You can see she commands respect just by the way she dresses, walks, talks.. These girls will also send the signal that she is capable of being loyal, taking care of a man and being appreciative of what he brings to the relationship. Guys may walk up and give her their best known pick up lines and these girls may giggle and think its cute but there is no guarantee that you are going to get her phone number. This girl knows what she wants for her self and is determined to get it. Men also have to get in line with these girls but its not behind other men, its behind her standards and requirements.



Its not the guy that determines whether you're a sports fish or a keeper-its you.

When a man approaches you, take control over the situation. You decide whether he buys you a drink, gets your number, takes you on a second date, all of that. Men want these things, that's the reason they talked to you in the first place. You decide if he gets those things. Steve Harvey says "Every word you say, every move you make, every signal you give a to a man will help him determine whether he should try to play you, be straight with you , or move on the next woman to do a little more sport fishing.
