Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus Remember the book by John Gray "Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus? Do you agree with the author? Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus Quotes: “When a man can listen to a woman's feelings without getting angry and frustrated, he gives her a wonderful gift. He makes it safe for her to express herself. The more she is able to express herself, the more she feels heard and understood, and the more she is able to give a man the loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, and encouragement that he needs.” “Men are motivated when they feel needed while women are motivated when they feel cherished.” “" when men and women are able to respect and accept their differences then love has a chance to blossom ” “If I seek to fulfill my own needs at the expense of my partner, we are sure to experience unhappiness, resentment, and conflict. The secret of forming a successful relationship is for both partners to win.” Elaine Shuel |

I never thought I'd hear the words "Kama Sutra" on this site.  Thanks Bob.Elaine Shuel

Hi Elaine, to me it's just a saying and I don't give it much thought really, one way or the other. I know some men and women can see things very differently but that doesn't make one right and the other wrong

No, I don't agree. I read the book years ago and found it quite funny, though I agreed with some things, others, not so much. I sold that book along with The Joy Of S-E-X, the Kama Sutra, and a few others at the swap meet!

It is about the fact that men and women see things differently. Right or wrong depends on their perspective. Thanks for your comment, Maura. Elaine Shuel

I think that if a relationship is in constant struggle, there is a definite problem that either has to be analyzed or the couple should break up. I agree with what you wrote about men versus women, Pat. We all have some basic needs that need filling.  Elaine Shuel

Sounds like good advice, LakeWalker, unless the man will be repressing resentment by keeping it all bottled in. I prefer open communication rather than my boyfriend keeping quiet. Thanks for your input. Elaine Shuel

Thanks for your responding to my post. Elaine Shuel

Refreshing as usual Shuel! I didn't read the book but some on the chat said it helped. My thought is that some men have to improve the emotional skills...they suck lol Otherwise, they are perfect !

Men being perfect, unlikely. The same could be said for women. Nobody is or will ever be perfect. Men tend to be lacking in communication skills but some are great listeners. Just don't ask them what you said. Just kidding. Elaine Shuel

Men are motivated when they feel accepted.

Men are motivated when they feel accepted. In my work, after talking to many men on the phone, I found that men tend to feel that what they do isn't appreciated by the women in their lives. Showing sincere appreciation can go a long way. Elaine Shuel
