Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus,.But are we really that different?

yep its really true friend that "men are from mars and women are from venus"....as in any situation we encountered in life, there will be always different point of view to look at that same thing, women always feel from heart and men feels from brain, when women says right, men will say left, it always happnes, infact it cannot be stated straight forwardly that who is right and who is wrong?...because as one thinks from heart and other one from brain , thats why i guess world is balance, both are corect at their places, and as they are different from each others , thats why they love each others a lot, as said opposite attracts, cheers!!!!!!!

yes , i m afraid we really are different , though i dont know about mars and venus , but what i have seen is that sometimes what men may feel like ok is really shocking and hurting for the women and sometimes the things that women terribly enjoy is frustrating and boring for the men . take an example of shopping and i dont really need to say who likes it and who hates it .

well it is not really true that we are really two different persons. but there are differences that needs to be solved in order for them to get along really well.

There are things men can do better than some women and things women can do better than some men.The key is to find someone who you get along with and you can talk to.

I dont know why we cant understand each other. But truth be told. I CANT understand guys. Please dont ask. I dont know. I think that guys ARE from Mars. Although I read one of those books (had to for a college class) and I didnt get what the heck that due was talking about. Huh.

I believe that to a certain extent its true though not totally. The mindset of a man and woman are little bit different and so the thinking does differ. Women are more emotional than men. Let me cite one major difference between the two in their thinking - No woman will love to get raped because she has a sense of decency but what about a man??. You all know that men will love women to fall over them. Is it not suffice to prove that there is difference in their mindset.

I have read the book and honestly, i getting surprised to know the fact about man and woman. its also giving me new knowlege and explanation why sometimes man's behaviour seem so much ignorance to me. It also helping me to repair my broken relationship and knowing what kind things that made me and my partner became misundertsanding. Thank you for John Gray that he already written this book. And i wonder to know about his another book which is "What Your Mother Couldn't Tell You and Your Father Didn't Know". I have difficulties to have it from internet or in my country. Have you read that book?

Yes, absolutely. I have to admit, I never read John Gray's books properly (there are more, like 'Mars and Venus in love', 'Mars and Venus together forever', 'Men, women and relationships' etc.), I just paged them a bit. I'm not very fond of so-called 'self-help' books, they seem to be too simplified to me. In my opinion - are people understand each other or not doesn't depend so much on their gender but on milieu where they are grown up and live, on their social background, on their values, on their education etc. There are lot of men I understand very well and also a lot of women, I don't understand at all...

I have not read the book "Men are from mars, Women are from Venus" yet. But personaly I believe there is no such big difference between men and women. We all are humanbeing. It is good to make just two category of good people and bad people. Because of only phisical difference we should see both men and women in so huge different.

I loved reading the book, and did not feel anything wrong about the way it presented differences. Well, I respect the differences, not just between men and women, but among everything on the face of the earth. I respect the feeling of the cell that wanted to divide in the Beginning, giving birth to the concept of living, based entirely on differences. But I have a little problem with the way the behaviour of men and women are categorised, with due respect to the good intent and sense of humour of Dr.Gray. What I feel is, when he tries to differentiate men and women, he is falling into the trap of typecasting male and female behaviour. Which leads to some sort of homogenization. I feel this just takes the game of 'feminine' and 'masculine'social constructs a step ahead. The differences are rather between individuals, not between those who belong to different genders or races. There may be some scientific backing to the way a man or a woman may act/react in a specific situation, but if we have some hard and fast rules regarding that, and try to understand life and relationships on the basis of that, there are chances that we may end up in trouble. However, the book was not really a guidebook for people who wanted to get married conventionally, but rather something that looked on the differences between men and women humourously and I liked it in that sense. Some people may even benfit from it, I am sure. But forming opinions on the behavious of men and women on the basis of that book would be too much!

I used to think men and women had more in common then they would like to admit but...It seems as I get older my husband and I notice more differences between us compared to when we first started dating. Strange it seems we had so much in common back then LOL, we still have a great deal in common- we are just getting older and changing. One example from that book is - when woman have a problem they just want to vent and have someone listen, when men have a problem they need to solve it now!!! Like when I used to complain about my job- my husband would tell me - "if you hate it that much then quit" and of course thats not what I wanted to hear, I just wanted to vent and be heard. I read him that paragraph in the book and now when I complain instead of trying to solve my problem, he gives me a hug and tells me it will be okay.

I didn't read the book but I seen the taping of a seminar that he did on the book. It was really good and informative. I think he is right in most of what he is saying about the differences. Of course, everyone is not the same and will not all fall under the same category, so I mean it is not a one size fits all type of thing but maybe like a one size fits most. I really did see some patterns that I had in what he said and also some patterns from some of the men that I have had a relationship with as well.

It's a proven fact that men are women are entirely different with regards to their mindset. This may also be the reason that some marriages fail because both parties fail to compromise these differences. However, these differences should not be issues in male-female relationships. The couple should learn to patch up these differences, start from there and everything could turn out well.

Men and women are different, and that's a fact! What i think we should do, is learn as much as we can about those differences and accept them as they are, mainly because we can't live without each other, and this continuous struggle between the sexes has no point! Of course there are exceptions...some people...you just can't understand!

how did u come up with such a thinking , anyway ?

well i believe with that doctor! men and women almost always speaks in a different language that is why what is no to us is yes to them and vice versa.. yeah, man and women can sometimes meet halfway but still there are difference. we may be all humans but our brains runs so differently.

I think so you are right in this sense and the book really a fiction and their might be some true facts in life too we need to come up with the positive character and we need to stop battling between the sexes which is not the worth time or discussion to make out with.

no! its so stupid i cant belive people still belive that! men and women are made to complete each other! its a balance! its logic think it your self!!!!!

No, not really. When it comes to being inconsiderate and selfish and disrespectful, they are pretty much the same.

I think man and woman are different.Most women think by heart ,and most men think by brain.
