I think women just try to find to many hidden means in relationships men just see it for what is basically...

[ProtoCosmos]

Do people actually buy into this stuff?

@ProtoCosmos

John Gray is right on the money with his suggestions. Seriously

[DevakiPolaris]

I like him because he doesn't belittle men or women (or if he criticizes one, he does so to the other as well). His writing just explains that they're wired differently. He's fair.

The woman is superior :-) We have so much more do and process!

My Dad is 52 and he acts like a 12 year old, so does my brother. This video explains a lot.

I disagree that we are wired differently and that's why men can do this and women can't, and so on and so forth. It all comes down to that materialistic, philosophical naturalism, reductionistic evolutionary psychology approach that is unprovable, rather than a mind and spirit existing separate of brain. John Gray doesn't know why men and woman are the way they are, I think, or how much we can change.. but I do love what he says, and his insights and analyses and they have helped me a lot

[Vash1202]

This is actually really helpful LOL

[sefeed65]

My brain doesn't run in circles when I listen to women. Interesting.

[UnholyCriminal]

1. I'm fairly confident the brain wiring he was talking about was inaccurate

2. Seems quite offensive to all men everywhere who aren't grunting morons

[neanderslob]

Is this true? I suppose its plausible, but I want to know what science is behind this.
