Men from Mars, Women from Venus?

Really? I wonder...I remember when that book came out in the 90's and is all the hype....we are told by the author that men are cavemen at heart who are primitive in showing affections and when hurt, he will do what is in his instinct - defend himself and retreat back into his cave. The women, on the other hand, are some sort of descendants of the Earth Mother. Her first instinct is to nurture and heal and please everyone in the clan, mostly in over bearing mode.

I used to scoff at that idea, but recent experiences with a significant member of the opposite sex, are beginning to convince me that perhaps it is true after all...could it be that men are just obtuse creatures when it comes to emotions and women are just over emotional, hysterics who insist on fixing a non existing problem?

Take the survey below, I would love to know what my friends think!

A virgin indeed....

So, here I am, after a relatively bad week on all fronts that I find myself in the middle of the night (since my downstair neighbor has started to practice guitar again at 2AM) actually venturing into the unknown - finally creating a blog. This is virgin territory, no doubt. Sweaty palms and all.

Thanks to my friend, Nic for my blog name suggestion!

Do men and women really have different styles of communication and resolving conflict?
