Fairly interesting book, informative in a lot of ways but not to be taken word for word (as no one is the same).
LibraryThing member Katie_H
This isn't my preferred genre, but since my Mom gave it to me, I figured I'd give it a try. After having been together for 8 years now, DH and I have already figured out most of this stuff on our own, so I didn't really learn anything new. The basics are this... When communicating, women seek
Show More
empathy, and men seek advice. Men do not discuss problems unless they feel that they are unable to cope alone, and they do not want advice if they haven't asked for it. Women don't want advice, and they don't want their problems fixed, they merely want to be heard and understood. The author also discusses the concept of a man's "cave," an emotional place where he can retreat as necessary, later emerging with newfound energy and stability. The generalizations are bothersome, since not all men and women exhibit the same characteristics and coping mechanisms, but in our situation, they DO hold true. The excessive Mars and Venus metaphors also get a bit irritating as did the repetition, but overall, I could see this book helping some relationships, even though I did not get much out of it.

EVERYONE should read this book, because the points made can apply to the workplace, to friendships, to siblings and to parents. I didn't agree with all of it and at times felt lie Gray was being a bit sexist but overall I will use some of these points in the book to understand my current

Best examples I've ever seen to help you understand how the opposite sex tends to think, see their world, and communicate. EXTREMELY practical!
LibraryThing member KendraRenee
I *need* to keep this book on my shelf. Gray is a genius.. he sees and explains things so clearly that were once so mysterious to me. I now understand my own and others' relationships so much better (had a few revelations just while reading the book!). He does repeat a lot, but if you read the book

I'm not a fan of self-help books, but this book offers insights into the differences in the ways men and women communicate and how each can be easily misunderstood by the opposite sex.

Not the type of book i usaully read, but bits and pieces of the book are really funny and true.

What more can be said about this rivetting read? It is the kind of work the reader ploughs through its pages and stops to think ''Mmm...that's me right there!'. Although, in terms of the contemporary nature of how the complexity of modern relationships can be handled I still prefer 'Ten Statements'
Show More
by JL Shash which in my opinion is more of a modern day relationship masterpiece in comparison to 'Men Are from Mars..''. Having said that, the power of John Gray's vivid illustrations in this book cannot be discounted ; his notion of women retreating into their ''wells'' and men into their ''caves'' sheds more light on how both sexes tend to misconstrue certain situations. Ever heard of the cliched ''things every man and woman must do before they die?''....well, my personal recommendation for whoever hasn't already done so is to try reading this before they bite the dust!

At the time of reading, well skimming, I actually found this interesting and entertaining and it has led to some pretty animated discussions down the pub. Wouldn’t say it changed my life or that I follow it to the letter.
LibraryThing member Amzzz
Some useful truths, but boring to read in parts.
LibraryThing member lesliebai
Why are there so many problems between men and women? Are men and women really so different, like two planets which can never meet in midway? If men and women are so different, why do they have to live together and confront so many frustrations? Can they really understand each other eventually?
LibraryThing member mysami
I am still reading this book, and every page is more and more interesting and I recommend this book to any women out there that is having any kind of complications with their relationships, or if they need to try and have an understanding of how a mans brain works lol
LibraryThing member Eruntane
This isn't a book I ever expected to find myself reading, but it was recommended to me as good preparation for marriage by someone whose judgement I trust, so I decided to give it a go. In terms of literary merit, it isn't terribly well-written, and has an irritating tendency to say the same thing

over and over and over again. In terms of content, however, it's spot on, and full of helpful suggestions for improving communication between yourself and your partner, thus making your whole relationship better. A must-read for anyone who just doesn't get what makes the opposite sex tick. Show Less

It was nearly ten years ago when I first read Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus, and I remember thinking how fortunate I was to stumble across such an honest guide to understanding the opposite sex. There were secrets to be revealed here and all I needed to do was pay attention.

married to a marvelous Venusian woman, and maturity has helped me appreciate how much more I still had to learn from my bachelor days. If anything, my greatest lesson is perhaps the Socratic wisdom—I know that I know nothing.From experience I can attest to this book's timeless insight.

The more I think abut this book that I have owned for approximately ten years, the more I think it's just stupid. Maybe this is helpful for someone who actually does think that men and women are different species, or is completely clueless re the opposite sex. I mean, if you can't figure out on

your own that men don't like to be given advice and like their egos (etc.) stroked or that women often feel overworked and underappreciated and tend to like presents, maybe this is the book for you. But realize, too, that it's an extremely simplistic analysis of the war between the sexes. Show Less

Surprisingly Christian! His main premise that he returns to again and again is, not in so many words, we all just need to give each other a lot of grace and be more sacrificial too. I highly recommend it for women who are overly romantic, or have lots of sisters but no brothers. It'll help clear up

Too many generalizations, and it seemed to me that he was making an awful lot of excuses for men's behavior, telling women how to accept it, but not much in the line of how men should accept women's behavior. Sometimes insightful, but not particularly useful.

This book is wonderful. An important guide for improving communication and relationship skills. By recognising that men and women are different with different emotional needs, we can understand how to better communicate with the opposite sex and to know the other's needs and wants. Through better

Insightful, no doubt. A 'modern' version would be more interesting.

When I first begin reading this book, it seemed very dated, and the author would occasionally make subtle hints promoting other items and seminars available. Looking past the few distractions, I discovered a wealth of indispensable information to improve my relationship with my spouse as well as

I definitely recommend reading this book to anyone and think that it would be beneficial to add as part of the curriculum in high schools, that is if high schools ever begin to implement teaching classes related to practical live application.

3. If I were from Jupiter, I would come away with the impression that women are whiny crybabies; and I would wonder why men bother.

Accept someone for who they are. Don’t try to change them into something else for your own convenience. Learn to be comfortable in your own skin instead of waiting for another person to validate your existence.
I find the pop-psychology annoying and indicative that we have too much time on our hands if we are agonizing over how to make others conform to personal ideals.
