Did you find this review helpful? YES NO

I read this book at the library — and quickly thanked myself for not buying it. Frankly, I found this book to be a bore. Yes, couples need to accept their differences but I don't think the two sexes are THAT different. Men especially speak clearly through their actions. There is so "secret language" women need to learn, it's simply to be observant. That's my humble opinion.

I started to take some offense at certain language that implied women are shallow and wimpy. But hey, it went on to say that men are "caveman-like" and incapable of accepting help. Sheesh. To me, this seems a bit ignorant. And hmmm, can we say gender bias?

There are some hints at understanding your partner but I wouldn't recommend anyone truly take the advice in this book to heart. In may very well doom your relationship. Take it with a grain of salt. Please don't use it as a relationship handbook.
