Women know precious little about the men in their lives. They live with them, love them, fear them, seek their advice, resent their attitudes, watch their diets, bear their children - but they don't really understand them as well as they should. But what is there to understand? Are men and women really so different? Of course they are, it is not that one sex is better or worse than the other. It's simply the sexes are different. If we can understand these differences and learn to use them creatively, all of us men and women alike, will be happier with ourselves and with each other.
It matters very much. More than it ever has before. Women's relationships with men are in transition along with life-styles, values, and aspirations in this era of technical and cultural dislocation. Both at home and at work outside the home, women are rebelling against what they see as male dominance, male chauvinism, male exploitation, and male harassment.
Men don't see it the same way. what men see is that their power base is eroding. They are no longer undisputed lords and masters. And many of them don't quite understand why.
Once women understands why men act and feel the way they do, she can put what she has learned to immediate use. It is like having a master key that unlocks the mysteries of masculine thought and behavior.
She will not able to change him, but has to realize that he needs her more than everything else in this world.
- We know that men change their minds more often than women do, they are more vulnerable, they don't tolerate things as well as women do.
- Men have thicker skins and longer vocal chords. Their blood is redder, their daylight vision better, their metabolic rate is higher and more of them are left-handed.
- Men feel pain less than women do. They age earlier, but they wrinkle later. They lose weight more easily, but rich men are fatter than a rich women.
- Men's immunity against disease is weaker. They talk about themselves less, but they worry about themselves more. And they are nowhere as sensitive to others as women are.
