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

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..

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 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.

Didn't care for it....

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

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.

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