S/o to our good sis Lori “keep a man” Harvey. Continuing to lead the way for young beautiful black women using dating to level up. I’ve always thought Marjorie taught Lori well. Steve Harvey constantly credits Marjorie with the success of his book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. A close feminine role model is priceless on this journey. There’s an obvious difference in women that invest in a feminine education from the ones that do not.
It’s clear to me that Lori understands the power of image, as well as, a good understanding of men. In this article I want to explore Lori’s dating history and the lessons we can takeaway. This is: The Lori Harvey Method
Lori’s Dating History
- Memphis DePay (soccer player)
- Diddy (mogul)
- Trey Songz (singer)
- Future (rapper and serial baby dad)
- Michael B Jordan (actor – and easily the highest quality man thus far)
Marjorie walked, so Lori could run. Look at that roster.. I mean honestly. She’s doing exactly what every young beautiful woman should be doing. Dating men that exceed her expectations and enjoying life. If most women had as much success in dating there would be no reason to applaud Lori Harvey. However, this is the real world and many women are 35+ taking care of grown dusty men.
Ladies, I cannot say this enough: you are the prize! A man needs to be putting in hard work to have and keep you. He needs to be stressing himself out trying to figure out how he’s going to get everything he needs to be the man of your dreams. Never the other way around.
I think it’s important to mention that because of Lori’s dating history she is perceived as a high value woman. Giving her a higher ranking than her peers. This alone put her in a league of her own. By dating high “value” (and I’m using that term loosely) men you become the type or preference of other high value men.

The Breakdown: How to apply the Lori Harvey Method to your life
- Start young: Lori was fresh into adulthood and already engaged to a successful man.. boy whatever (not saying you should rush to get married). However, I do believe starting young with dating yields the best results. You can only get better at dating from experience. College is a good time to really explore and see what’s out there. Whether it’s a sugar daddy or a future engineer .. find you someone worth your time. Leveraging your youth in the dating market its by far the smartest thing you can do in your 20’s.
- Have fun while dating: Figure out what qualities you like in a man and which you don’t. When you’re young settling in dating should be a deal breaker for you. If a man is not making you the happiest woman on the planet drop him and find a better one. There’s always a better one.
- Don’t get pregnant: If you already have kid(s) that’s fine, but I suggest you not have anymore unless they are by your husband. Raising children is hard, but as a divorceé you have the support of alimony in addition to child support.
- Having class never goes out of style: If you want to be treated as a lady you have to act like one. That means enforcing standards and boundaries. How a man feels about you is how he will treat you. If you are as precious as gold, and know it, he will too.
- Keep leveling up: Man after man Lori’s mentality is leveling up. As a reminder Lori wasn’t always the baddie she is today, prior to her fame she was a bit chunky (no shade). I say that to say: it’s evident Lori puts a lot of effort into maintaining her appearance, as well as, choice in men. Never think you’re too old or it’s too late to level up. Start from where you are.
- Stay focused on yourself: lastly, but most importantly remember that YOU ARE THE PRIZE. It’s so easy to get caught up with your flavor of the week, but just like the seasons men come in go. Don’t spend all your time focused on a guy, when you should be focused on creating abundance in your life with or without him.
