Yes, it was years ago. I found it interesting, but like many of the commentees have already said, everyone is different.

It was a good exploration of the different outlooks that men and women have in a relationship. While not groundbreaking science or anything, it did help to explain the archetypes of the opposite gender to the reader. I would take it notionally, not factually.

Sorry but aren't you supposed to read it first?

Didn't care for it....

I read it years ago. It was all right. But after you are 60 romance takes on a whole new dimension. When everybody is dying around you its one day at a time. I don't have the time to try to figure out a woman. If you want to sit around and bitch and moan about what i did wrong in your life, go back to your own place and bitch at the mirror. If i hit the town with a woman, i want to laugh and have fun. That book is about trying to figure out men and women.

Is largely been proven to be full of crap.

Yes there are some obvious biologically specific traits to the sexes, but really most of the neurological differences between male and female brains are plastic, fall on a spectrum with a lot of overlap, and can be changed by experience behaviour and hormones.

As I recall the book mainly offers up a lot of retrograde comforting platitudes to traditional gender roles. It's mostly valuable as kindling.

I read it too. Remember nothing. I bet it's not on any feminist reading list. Lots of those women don't even accept we're biologically different, never mind coming from different planets..

I remember the book from a long time ago. I don't remember reading it. I was probably way too busy doing my own hands on research on the subject. I think that it has been scientifically proven that men's and women's brains process information differently and also certain chemical releases are different between genders. Of course knowing that differences exist and being able to successfully deal with the differences are two different things

Is an old book that came in the 80's I think. A few lives ago I read it. Nothing about the buzz I remember.

Aas the British say: shite!

I read it a LONG time ago. Other than the title, there wasn't a whole about it that was particularly memorable.
I do remember believing for a long that men and women were just "wired" differently.
Then, after living a good bit of life, realized EVERYONE is wired differently.
The more we try to explain why men and women are different, the farther apart we make the divide.

Back in my self help days I bought the book and still have it. A therapist gave me the tape as well. Men and women are wired differently and comprehend events differently.

Read it in the ‘90s....entertainment value at best...

People can site "brain differences" all they want to. My take on the differences between the sexes comes from things like 2 types of dolls as children -- i. e. Barbie and G. I. Joe, and other such differences taught to children early on. If G. I. Joe had makeup you would find a lot more men today wanting to wear makeup.
Things like this change as the years go by but similar concepts are responsible for lots of differences between the 2 sexes.

Out dated very out dated

I tried to read it as I thought it was science fiction. It was. But not a very captivating one.

I think there is some truth to this pop psychology. Men's and Women's brains are demonstrably different. Men have fewer intra-brain connections. Men have larger areas associated with spacial reasoning (that's why we never want to ask for directions.) Women tend to be better at language.

There are differences and we complement each other. A whole (a mixed couple), the two parts together, is greater than either part alone and, in my speculation, this is a result of human evolution.

Wasn't there a follow up book 'Assholes are from Uranus'?

It was a self help cash grab filled with pseudoscience, junk science, stereotyping, bullshit, jargon, blanket statements, and broad generalizations that ultimately amount to nothing.

Though it is loaded with observations of stereotypical behavior and explanations for that behavior, I found it interesting to understand socially driven motivations of others.

On the other hand, since I rarely fit any stereotypes and I am typically not drawn to those who fit them, I found it of marginal use for any of my working relationships.

I have read it - long ago. Can't remember a great deal, other than the feeling that I wasn't greatly impressed. I can't even remember what failed to impress me!

I bought it in 1995 and read most of it. I don't really remember much about it other than this:

I brought it to the park one day. My boyfriend at the time was going to play some sports with friends and I was going to hang out and continue reading it. I know that some of it resonated, but a lot of it didn't map onto the relationship world as I knew it. When we left, we walked past a dumpster and I pitched it in.

I have red it many years ago. Well, some things there make sense but some do not. I have red other books by him and to me it seems that he is a bit of a male pig. You know he used to be married to Barbara De Angelis and she is a relationship counselor too. I enjoyed her books much more than his.

I read Men are from Mars many years ago. It demonstrated how we are gender driven in many of our relationships. I realised that many stereotypes have bases in fact. My wife constantly tries to change me and I used to simply see that as a personal set of criticisms, now I realise that there is a more sociological explanation.
