one day i ran out of novels to read at home; i'd finished all the tom clancy and michael crichton thrillers at least twice. and all the zombie books. i was browsing through my selection when i came across two titles: why men don't listen and women can't read maps, and why men don't have a clue and women always need more shoes. by barbara and allan pease.
whenever i went to bookstores i used to shun the self-help sections because i believed they were for losers or girls. besides, i started on the first book twice and never managed to finish it. i only bought them in an attempt to salvage my previous relationship. apparently that didn't happen, so i thought it was all a bunch of crap.
anyway, some days ago i blew the dust off the first book and started reading it again.
this is but a taste of the lively illustrations featured in said book
yes, men are programmed for sex, and women don't get caught ogling only because they have wider peripheral vision.
advantages: this book is all about the differences between men and women, the way we evaluate and react to given situations. it's about relationships, dude.
disadvantages: your bang comrade's gotta read it too, otherwise you'd be wasting your time. that's why i gave up twice. but you can't make him/her read it against his/her choice. i tried that twice too.
lots of things they said are true with most people. it's fascinating, to say the least. i'm majoring in human relations now, so it'll probably help me in more ways than one.
maybe i'll learn something of value this time.
oh well.
