Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

Why do you think Jon Gray come out with this book? I believe it is because he wants to show how men and women are contradicted. For me, I do believe that men are opposite of women and vice versa. Why this thing happens? A simple answer is that the nature of men and women are different. The way men perceive things are different and the way women interpret their views also are different. Thus, conflicts often occur between these two genders. For me, I neither say that women are always right nor men are always correct. Both have their own point that they want to stress and have different ideas in interpreting things. Besides, they also have different ways of controlling the relationship and most of the times, their ways are contrary. . Let us look some contradiction between these two genders

Women need ATTENTION! They want their partner to give full attention to them. Sometimes, they tend to have some kind of weird perception whereby when their partner doesn’t spend time with them, it means that they don’t care about them.

Men prefer to be alone. They don’t want to be disturbed all the time; they want to have time for their own. They believe that though they don’t spend time with their partner, it doesn’t mean they don’t love them!

Women want their partner to know what they need without telling them. They prefer to use hints instead of going straight to the point

Men rarely understand hints. They expect women to tell them what they need. Be direct.

Women show their emotion all the time. They want their partner to pamper them. Sometimes, they don’t want them to say anything, just lend their ears for few minutes and say something which can cheer them up. (Seem simple but I know it is hard to be done)

Men don’t like women who show their emotion regularly. Sometimes they tend to think that if they can handle their own problems, why can’t women do the same?

Women think a lot. They like to think about the past and future. Sometimes, this make them become anxious unnecessarily.

Men prefer to live their life by following the flow. They don’t spend much time thinking of the past nor future. They focus more on present.

Women are complex. It is not easy to understand them.

Men are simple, but they are unpredictable.

I think I will stop the list there. Hehe, maybe, there are more things where women and men are contradicted. However, I believe that we must be tolerance with one another. If we want our partner to understand us, we should try to understand them as well. Besides, if we think that they don’t fulfill our expectation, think back, have we fulfilled what they actually want? There is no point for us to fight and blame each other. We can’t think of proper solution if both want to win. Be realistic. No one is perfect, bear with it! However, try our best to be nice with our partner. Most importantly, love your partner as the way he or she is. Never try to change them to be someone that you want! That is not love! Accept them the way they are and love them sincerely, that is true love…
