In 1992, John Gray published his best-selling book Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus, where he explained to the general public in a popular (and often very simplified) way the differences in communication and relationships between men and women. He actually explained to ordinary people what psychologists had long known.
Of course, many of the book’s theses still remain rather controversial, and some simply haven’t stood the test of time, but the fact remains – when entering into a relationship, we often don’t really know anything about the person with whom we plan to spend the lion’s share of our time. And perhaps the rest of our lives.

I have an easier life.
Periods are s**t, the way guys hit on them aggressively is s**t, the way they can’t go to the places I would and feel safe is s**t, the way society treats them if they like having s*x is s**t, being pregnant is s**t, giving birth or having an abortion is beyond s**t.
Had no idea these things were as bad as they actually are until actually witnessing them.

If she asks if you want ice cream, she wants ice cream and wants you to say yes so that she can get ice cream.

Most women choose sleep clothes by comfort vs s*x appeal. There’s a lot of loose pajama pants, fuzzy socks and oversized hoodies.
The sheer, lace nighty you see women climb into bed on lots of TV shows and movies in isn’t real life. Lol.

Often women just need to talk about their issues. Not looking for a solution.

No matter how much of a macho you are, you need to do some girly s**t with your woman. It’s not because she wants to emasculate you or bend your will or she expects you to enjoy it even, it’s because she wants to share some of her daily life with you.
On the other hand, women don’t mind doing some manly s**t with you, because, guess what, they are willing to share some of your daily life with you.

I wouldn’t say all women, but my girl needs quite a bit of reassurance. She has abandonment issues so when she’s said I have to remind her I am not going anywhere. I don’t mind it because she truly is a wonderful and caring woman. We’re a team.

You realize how much you learn about yourself through her. Whether it’s how you react to situations, how much you value certain things, or even what you really need in life.

If they’re upset, there is a 50/50 chance they’re just hungry.
Sometimes I’d just say “Man, I could really go for some taco bell” and then her eyes would light up.
