Are you a keeper or a throwback?

I'm currently reading Steve Harvey's "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man." While reading this book, I am learning a lot of things and I thought I would share this one thing (for now). How to tell if a woman is a keeper or a throwback? Keeper is self explanatory. A throwback is a woman that a man meets, sleeps with, and forgets or throws back. This is a list of the difference between a throwback and a keeper. Hope you enjoy and figure out which one you are and which one you want to be?

1. A woman who commands respect is a keeper; a
woman who lets men get away with disrespecting her
is a throwback.

2. A woman who is dressed appropriately—has her
goodies reasonably covered, but is still sexy, is a
keeper; a woman who is scantily clad and dripping sex
is a throwback.

3. A woman who won’t let you feel all over her body
while you’re dancing is a keeper; a woman who drops
it like it’s hot and puts on a dance floor performance
that would make video vixen Karrine Steffans blush is
a throwback.

4. A woman who takes a man’s number but doesn’t give
him her own is a keeper; a woman who hands out her
home, work, and cell phone numbers and e-mail and
home addresses to a man who’s done nothing more
than buy her a drink and ask how he can reach her is
a throwback.

5. A woman who can hold a respectful, respectable
conversation with a man and his mother is a keeper; a
woman who shudders at the prospect of having to talk
to the matriarch of a man’s family is a throwback.

6. A woman who can adapt to any situation thrown at
her—she can hold her own at the PTA meeting, in
the boardroom, in a restaurant, at a sporting event—
is a keeper; a woman who can’t put together a
coherent sentence or makes it clear she has no interest
in doing so is a throwback.

7. A woman who knows she wants to be married and
raise a family and lets a man know this up front
is a keeper; a woman who doesn’t have a plan for
her relationship life beyond next weekend is a
throwback.

8. A woman whom we can introduce to our friends and
family is a keeper; a woman we don’t even bother
introducing to our friends or family is a throwback.

9. A woman who smiles and takes care of herself and is
generally happy with her life is a keeper; a woman
who doesn’t take care of herself and is sour all the
time, has an attitude wider than all the ocean, and
doesn’t hesitate to lay somebody out for the slightest
transgression is a throwback.

10. A woman who shows her appreciation for all that you
do for her is a keeper; a woman who acts like nothing
you do can make her happy is a throwback.

11. A woman who is loyal is a keeper; a woman who
always has her eye out for the next best thing is a
throwback.

12. A woman who understands that a man validates his
manhood by who he is, what he does, and how much
he makes, and who knows how to finesse her
relationship so that her man feels like he’s handling
his business is a keeper; a woman who wields her
paycheck and influence like a sword and belittles his
career and financial contributions is a throwback.
