Genre: Self-improvement, humour.

Recommended for: anyone who just wants a good laugh, looking to improve relationships in work, life or family.

Some who come across this book in the store might take a glance at it’s cover (and title) and think that it’s all crap, but it’s actually a rather fact-based, well-researched book which presents its findings in a way that is easy to understand and a real pleasure to read! (something which is a feat that involves combining the most competent writer and the most analytical scientist) It doesn’t exist to poke fun at either gender, but to teach us the intrinsic differences between male and female which makes the opposite gender such a pain in the you-know-where. However, if we understand these differences, we’ll know how to deal with those problems that plague relationships, and how to make our relationships (in love, family, work…) more fruitful.

Some choicier bits…

ONE
‘It’s obvious that women are smarter than men. Think about it - diamonds are a girl’s best friend; man’s best friend is a dog.’ — Joan Rivers.

They did have interesting theories about ‘dumb blonds’… Apparently, people with the ‘blond’ allele, also have higher estrogen levels (which through it’s chemical actions, by some study, which i can’t for my life remember), makes women stupid.

TWO
There’s also this time when we were in Spain and ahleong wondered why I could walk around, sit on my bed to pack stuff and chit chat WHILE I was brushing my teeth, while he was just stuck, bent over the sink, feet apart, concentrating 101% on moving the toothbrush… Well you see, that’s cuz we women have brains that are configured for multi-tasking, even if those tasks are not related and you guys are just monotrack. Heh.

THREE
‘The first rule of talking to a man: Keep it simple! Give him only one thing at a time to think about.’

And it’s true, really, I’ve learnt from past experience never to sms this friend more than two questions at a time, and both have to be at the end of the sms. If they’re like in the middle, he’ll more than likely forget to answer one of the questions! Guys, so mah fan!

Just imagine, how simple a r/s that would be for gays?
And just how troublesome and taxing it would be for les?

FIVE
Women talk emotionally, men are literal. Also very true, and the main source of irritation leading to some quarrels with some guy friends of mine. So well, you guys out there gotta understand that females may tend to exaggerate a bit, like saying, ‘you NEVER agree with anything I say’ or ‘You do this everytime’. We just want to make an emphasis on it. And of course, gals out there, try not to exaggerate so much that it’ll irk those ‘anal’ guys, or else your relationship’s going to suffer…

SIX
Never use the words ‘can’ and ‘could’. For eg. if you tell a man, ‘Can you bring the rubbish out?’ He interprets it as a check of his ability, sure he ‘can’ do it, but it doesn’t really motivate him to act. Plus, it makes him feel manipulated and forced into giving a ‘yes’ response. So… ********** (Don’t think I should teach you all how to phrase it so he actually does it for you happily. hehehe) But I’ve tried it so far, and I think it works!
