"The strength of women comes from the fact that psychology cannot explain them.

Men can be analysed, women ... merely adored."

I think the majority have read the book "Men are from Mars, women are from Venus"

What do you think are the differences between women and men regarding their reactions to certain circumstances, ideas,point of view...?

How long have you got? laugh

Read the book few years ago ... at the time I felt it had many insights but also that it had been written with a slight bias towards "excusing" men's tendencies ... As I say, read it a long time ago and that might relate to my state of mind at the time dunno

I think may be men are more "simple/straight forward creatures" than women who are more prone to "worry" about the meaning of this or that... Very generally of course ...

One can't really generalise about anything ... some men and women freak out when confronted with a crisis some don't ...
It's the same for values, not sure that it is a gender issue but rather a question of deep rooted beliefs ...

Just a quick overview ...

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars - but I've always felt a certain 'kinship' towards the planet Pluto - ~woof~ ~woof~ batting

Hi Hootsie, nice to see you back.

Yes, I read that one .... made some sense to me.

*It just sort of teaches that when women tell you their problems, its just that they want to share them, you dont have to fix them, just LISTEN .

When a man tells you his problems ... its because he is looking for an answer, cant figure it out himself, otherwise he would not have mentioned it.

*Men like machines, gadgets and all thing mechanical ... hence Combine Harvesters, Chain Saws, Rockets, and inventing things.......... Women prefer peace and quiet and organic farming methods.

*Women talk about Feelings - Men talk about Things.

I liked the book ..... explains some of the mystery of our beer guzzling compatriots...

Ahhh, but when a man likes to discuss his feelings is he a wimp or gay or just bored with trying to get his combine harvester to bloody work? conversing

Another good book is Why men don,t talk and women can,t read maps. Along the same lines and quite entertaining. Maybe Waterdragon knows about this one as the authors (husband and wife) are Australian. Available at all good airport newsagents.
