I've had a couple of people ask me if I've read "Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus". Today I went out and bought the book. Has anyone else read this book and if so what did you think about it?

Why is that?
@SonderOpia
I look at it as a conveyance of differences.
I just erased a 30 minute soliloquy... got carried away!
IN MY OPINION...it seems to me that we seem to thrive on our innate differences, and disregard our many similarities...whether we differentiate on gender, race, sexual preference or belief, we seem to focus on things that are designed to keep people apart. I associate that with negativity. I choose to appreciate things that are vehicles for positivity, preferring to separate science and pseudo intellectual speculation... and please accept that as opinion.
@Hutch I wonder what I'm going to think about the book.
@SonderOpia I think you MAY find it interesting... Kind of outdated with a few superfluous anecdotal speculation...but for its rime, it was retry good I guess!
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.

@Bierbasstard really? That does say a lot. TY for this info.
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.

I get the feeling I should. I'm off work for summer break and maybe the library has it??

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

I've just started it and I'm now on chapter 3. So far I can see that it is very generalized and almost 1950s but it has some good points. We'll see how this turns out.
I really can't wait to start reading it. It sounds like it should be good.
