Straight Talk: No More Ghosting, Now It’s Curving 

“No one takes 2-3 days” to reply. I know this is about dating but it applies to friendships too. I have a girlfriend who does me like this and I’ve put up with it for some time but I lately decided I’m not doing it anymore. So having said all of that, I’m definitely not letting a man do that (anymore).

To hell with all these relationship trends. Stop treating each other like snack food.

Curving is the new name for stringing along someone via texting.

*Social media dosen't allow u to heal* - Steve Harvey

Ladies... Just realize that if a guy is not giving you what you want... Then, it's not for you. Otherwise, maybe he's just not that into you. Don't make excuses. It's not ghosting, it's not curving... or anything else you wanna'' call it. He's not a dog... Your'e just not the one... Your'e signing up for a side chick position and if that's what you wanna be, then okay... know your roll... And if HE is not the one for YOU! Then roll out... Let it go. Don't sell yourself short. He's not good enough.... You deserve better.

Curving is NOT a way to "keep someone on the hook". Curving is simply another word for REJECTING someone. If you got curved, you got rejected. Sorry, it happens to the best of us🤷🏾‍♂️😂

I'm too old for such childish games...I don't wait for a man to "curb or ghost" me...I give you one good chance and if your actions don't line up I will pull a David Copperfield quick! I don't have time for such foolishness.

Just plain COMMON COURTESY to say yes/no. Once a Ghoster, always a Ghoster. Ain’t no man worth my time or brain space to offer him another chance after you’ve shared your body and heart, only to treat you like some cheap beer he can dump out, and maybe hook up with, weeks/months later when he feels bored and lost?!! F that!! 👋🤬🤯

Just like in many other things in life, It all comes down to attention. What do you pay attention to? The early you can notice it, the better you can prepare yourself.

People should stop all this nonsense cause if you keep playing with people you'll always lose someone that's good for you

Yes, Steve is so right. Im old school, and it doesnt matter if things have changed you have to set the standard on what you want. I don't care what others are doing with these crazy dating fads. Its ridiculous!!!! Steve's right! If its ment to be you"ll find the one!

I've been out of the game for years ... I WAS NOT prepared for all these games

(1:46) Steve, that is because the "older" generation of women get played as well and usually not paying attention because they are concern about the "looks" of the guy. Secondly, what they are teaching their girls is wrong. They are teaching their girls to ignore some attributes of men and pay attention to other attributes that will get them into trouble.

Valuable lesson: people do it in all situations. The lesson is you're allowing another person to make a decision for you to be on hold. *others can make their decision BUT you also have the right to make yours!

Steve is completely right, older women stay hating on the younger ones, that’s why they don’t help us they rather watch us get hurt aswell instead of stopping the cycle 🙄

Steve’s beard is on point

This why men and women need to take it among themselves. We all blame social media for all of problems that's going on. Experience is the best key to anything in life. People play too many games and then want someone to wait on them. You can't allow someone to hold all the card. Then you wondering what's going on. Through someone action and reaction you'll know if someone is interesting in you or not.

It is definitely lack of sisterhood, I get asked all the time how I keep my hair(in my profile pic) by young and old black women. I love to teach bc I wish I had someone puttin me on. It’s jealousy , I’m getting up there in age(I’m 30) and I tell my younger friends all the time how not to get played; that’s my sister .

I’m learning today. Never even heard of curving.

Curving is not a new trend. It is called stringing people along, which has been around forever

Women ghosting man sometimes as well, it’s not a men thing. I saw my friend who ghost a guy who she’s not interested in, because she’s afraid of saying No, but the same time she doesn’t wanna lose him because it feels nice to have someone interested in you.

The question was never answered...simple Steve...women need to be nicer to each other...we have been trained to dislike each other...why would we teach each other anything...not my way of thinking...just another generational pathology.

So sad i live in a age of BS dating I'm 37 and single

One bad thing about Texting, I am old School. I do not text people.

NO REPLY....U MUST FLY....MY MOTTO!!!!!!!

The only way to have a good relationship is through face to face communication. Very rarely there are a few exceptions of relationships that have started online. Don't take the exceptions and think it's gonna happen to you too. Same thing with fairy tales from the movies and shows.

Hahaha, he is so right. I don't understand why so many young girls get played, why do they allow it? Come on girls, you're better than that!!!!

This was an eye-opener for me

Break it down, real talk.

Everyone has all the names of every situation that they encounter but few can solve this problem. It gives a lot of headache and heartbreaks as always.

Word Steve word!

Women curve way more than men though!

thanks for this segment...it was so helpful, the same thing has been happening to me for years

People want what they can't have.

The question is, Why you still there? Knowing, his action show his true self. please pay attention, to the small things, the signs is there, you just got to love yourself enough to notice. And, then, let's him know, you know, and be a woman enough to walk away; before it get to the point of him satisfy his ego.

This is what our world is

I am so happy I have been single and free of all this dating foolishness

I don’t know why but every time he talks about young women I think bout wats going on with your daughter lmao 😂

People don't understand not being on Social media

This was sum bs

Curving isn't new at ALL, smh...Talk about disconnected and clueless, smh.

One time this guy got my number and waited an entire week to text me which I didnt bother replying to at that point. Then on another occasion he texted me on ig and took a day just to reply once and then turned around and asked me for my number again. Idk if he thought I would chase him but no. It's a complete turn off to me and while he was playing games, i found someone else

WHY ARE WE NOT TEACHING MEN!!!!!!!!

Yes glued phone 2days no text

There are a lot of women who listen to their friends. Whether they are knowledgeable or not. I call it "coaching." They like to get coaching from bad coaches.

Has anyone ever thought to ask how long have these people been seeing or talking to each other? Or how often is a woman blowing up his phone? Just because you're "talking" to someone it doesn't = relationship.

These girls acting like they’re too good to have ever gotten played in their life

CArdi B and offset cant heal... Very intuitive steve, 1 year on, she has filed for divorce.. September 2020

Wish Steve would help us fellas out the way he helps ladies because women curve also. Trust me I know

Women do this more than anyone

Plain ans simple... Don't play.

LOL you say all this but how many guys have been attentive and texted a girl regularly and quickly. To only get dumped for a guy who barely paid her attention.

Exactly why Don’t generations of women teach younger women about messed with by bad boys/assholes...the same pattern keeps happening how are women not trying to stop this?

People are too shallow these days.

I’ve never heard of this until now.. I guess I won’t be trying to date until I’m 100 😂😂

Why is Steve acting like it's men that do the curving when It's actually the women who do most of it?

Curving is basically a bunch of girls on Tinder

I agree

Curving? Who comes up with these names?

If he doesn't pick up the phone and call..BYE!! Mature men, men that are ready don't text..

The woman in the middle Brooke is so stunning 🤩

If you're confused...u should prob walk away

This is what I get Curving = Friendzone with swapped roles. Oh now it is an issue?

There must be multiple definitions for curving because i thought when you curve someone, communication stops ..not paused.

When women put words on what they do on a daily basis to men but then label it as toxic and trash men for doing it.. Hypocrisy at it's finest

If someone loves you he will always have time for you atleast a little text

Steve what about us guys?! Can you defend us, you always agreeing with the women’s but what about us men’s. Girls does the exact same thing what about that

curve em guys...they won't quit u...they will feel like a challenge they still gotta try win

$ending Love to all family going thru public trials on a world stage. Everything will be alright. Life is growing up going thru & getting wiser ! its Still ALL G00D!

This is odd because women are the main ones who do this

I guess that’s why most women either is single or believe there are no good guys out here. You let something as this stop you because you feel some kind of way. People have lives, I suggest you do what makes you happy and stop waiting for someone to reply back.

Every guy you've dealt with is not going to be for you which is why it didn't work out. Some women look down on themselves whenever someone says "you're not the one for him" and I don't believe that because if he CARED on his part he would be willing to change right ? It has nothing to do with YOU only HIM not appreciating the great woman in front of him. If a man wants to love you then he will do everything in his power to change his wrongs to make things right, not trying to right his wrongs. Those guys were in your life for a season and it's a learning process but let me tell you ... about the man God is going to place in your life for a REASON. "He's not that interested" I call BS because I've encountered some guys who put up a front and showed all signs up interest but when things started to get deep those red flags were screaming because he was either manipulative or we were both unequally yolked. "Interest" and a guy being a sweetheart just for awhile is not enough ! Is he a hard worker, and if so how is that proven by his everyday life duties ? Where does he see himself in 5 years ? Someone making excuses to send a little message ? You're probably not the only one he's sending them to and taking centuries to respond but don't be like the rest of the women in his phone putting up with it. That was one thing that made me cut this guy off because my silly self brought it up just for a warning and there was no change, so I left. I came back around just to see if I was trippin' but nope. Those true colors revealed themselves. With all the nonsense I've experience I can't say if there are great men out there who are willing to date to marry... What I can say is pray and ask God to give you strength in order to keep the faith that he will send you someone specially designed for you.

What the hell is wrong with people. Why are people playing games. I am so glad I am not single.

Dont answer to no pastor.

This is like most girls lmao

Attention is better than sex to women

Why does Steve make women look so innocent 😂? The female infidelity percentage exceeded the male's. I know he loves women, but there's time you have to call out certain people

I here you about girls that are being curved what about the woman who do that can we have that conversation

I hear these lady's claiming the keep it moving if a dude isn't giving them call backs fast enough, bit why are so many getting away with it? Apparently those duds just move on as well. Maybe that's why only 26 percent of mellinials get married. I feel massively sorry for them. It seems as if most will never experience true love....😑😑😑

Give advice for dudes Steve

Bridget is gorgeous....OMG👌🏾

Younger generations DO NOT listen to older women, especially to the ones who are either single or married to bums/cheaters.

You curve him f you don’t like him and they curve us when they don’t like us it is what it is 😪

And now Cardi wants a divorce from offset

Steve out here snitching just to make money off these women’s feelings 🤦🏾‍♂️

See he said curving but that’s not what they mean 😂.

Women do the same thing to dudes all the time😂

This is not curving😂😂that’s called gaslighting and curving is far from new

Anthony Davis's lookalike

This subject seems to be built off a lot of insecurities.

The problem dont start with not teaching enough women how to behave, the problem starts when men and women dont have the notion that a womens behavior is truth from action not from what comes out of their mouth, so these people are ignorant because women behave more times from emotional standpoint not from logical standpoint, so when she says if a man dont text her for 3-4 days and she says ,i dont want nothing with him because they are not interested in "me" thats a logical standpoint, and when she has a strong emotion for the guy, she will reach out again at least one more time to him even if he didnt text her for some time because thats and emotional standpoint and thats the way women behave the most and thats what usually happens more often then what people think, woman just dont say it because when they are in front of some people her brain tells her to behave logically more then emotionally because thats how she should behave according to nature !

Is just me, or the woman sitting next to Steve, look like she is on a TV screen and not really there when the camera is not Zoomed in? Guess it's the color of her dress

Why are people making up all these stupid terms

Steve, you the same man that said a man should make a woman feel special. So he do that for a day a week or two and then hit it and move on Based on your reasoning. Women should learn how to trust God. In prayer and fasting and you’ll know your husband when he comes. God may tell you it’s the short one while the tall one flirting with you. Lol.

Women learn what they learn from their MOTHER....not society! Steve talks about dating like he's still in the game. lol

He's just not that into you ... Get over yourself 😁

I thought when you curve someone you don’t even give them a chance to begin with. 🤷‍♀️ But when you ghost someone you gave them a chance and then disappear out of the blue. 🤷‍♀️

It's fear Steve, too many unmarried with children so they are led to the slaughter string along because they think they might need the other possibly one day

Aren't women the main ones doing this?
