Modern dating is filled with uncertainty, manipulation, and unspoken rules. As Steve Harvey explains in Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, men always have a plan—whether it’s a commitment or casual fun. But how do you spot the difference early?. Steve Harvey’s Three Ps of love in the book refer to how a man shows his love and commitment to a woman. These are:
Protect – A man in love will go to great lengths to keep his woman safe. This means standing up for her, shielding her from harm, and making sure she feels secure in their relationship
Profess – A man who truly loves you will make it known to the world. He will introduce you as his woman, claim you publicly, and show that he is proud to have you in his life.
Provide – A real man takes responsibility for his woman’s well-being. This includes financial provision, but it also extends to emotional and physical security, ensuring that she has what she needs.
Philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, in The Second Sex, highlights how society conditions women to accept less than they deserve, making them blind to red flags. Meanwhile, Robert Greene, in The Laws of Human Nature, explains how people manipulate and deceive in relationships. By combining these insights, you’ll learn to spot red flags before they waste your time and energy.
Here is the Second dating red flag every high-value woman should recognize.
🚩 2. He’s Inconsistent in Communication → 🦊 The Fox
Why? Foxes are sly and unpredictable, disappearing and reappearing when convenient.How It Relates: A man who texts you randomly, goes silent for days, then acts like nothing happened is just like a fox—you never know when he’ll show up or vanish.
Avoid the fox, date a dog (loyal and consistent).
If a man is hot and cold, he’s showing you that you’re not a priority. A relationship needs consistency and effort to thrive.
How to Identify It
- He takes days to reply to messages without a valid reason.
- He disappears and reappears randomly with excuses.
- He doesn’t initiate communication, leaving you wondering if he’s interested.
Impact: Inconsistent communication leads to anxiety, insecurity, and emotional confusion.
Red Flag Score: Up to 8 points
Steve Harvey: “A man who wants you will call, text, and show up. No confusion, no games.”
Simone de Beauvoir: “Indifference is the opposite of love—accept no less than full presence.”
Robert Greene: “Absence breeds power, but only when done strategically—not as a way to avoid commitment.”
Bible Guidance: James 1:8 – “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
Dating Advice: If he’s inconsistent, match his effort—if he doesn’t improve, walk away.
