Very Concise Difference Between Men and Woman September 16, 2008
I'm sure this book is quite brief and focused, so I found it easier to read than Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps. Surprisingly, this book involves some of the same issues written in Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps! That made me read a little bit faster than usual.
However, I don't 100% agree with the issue of men's inability to multitask; take truck drivers, for example: especially in Japan, I see truck drivers often multitasking while driving! They are so busy enough to deliver all of the stuff as soon as possible to meet their clients' needs. So they don't have enough time to take some break and not even for lunch. Sometimes they have to EAT & DRIVE to save time! Of course, drinking & driving is apparently ridiculous, though. What I am getting at is this: they are already used to multitasking behind the wheel to finish their jobs ASAP. Think about it; what would you do if you had such a hectic schedule like that? Would you stop the car and have your lunch or eat and drive at the same time?
Another thing that intrigued me was the difference of the meaning between men and women on p.66 thru 67. To put it briefly, women seem to use sarcasm, which means they use words to imply the opposites. On the other hand, in most cases, men seem to invite women to have sex with each other suggestively(!?). I know carrying out all of these implications would lead to a disaster, but this difference really cracked me up!
Anyway, first, how about reading Why Men Can Only Do One Thing at a Time and Women Never Stop Talking (Combined Mini Editions)? Then why don't you try Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps? I guess it is more efficient to understand Allan&Barbara Pease's books. Concise stuff comes before detailed one!
Funny and informative September 21, 2006

This book takes a humourous look at the differences in the way men and women act and feel in everyday situations. It is comprised of short segments. These include the female struggle with map reading, the male action of "oggling" attractive women and, a particular highlight, an amusing guide to the different showering routines of the two genders. All of the remarks will surely amuse and sound true to you.
It's a bit short, and more humour than fact, but it's good if you just want something quick to make you laugh.
 A wonderful book very funny and extremely wise! January 27, 2004

The book is talking about the differences between men and women, in the way they feel think and act. You will be laughing and thinking at the same time without even feeling it! The book addresses questions like why men can never find things in the fridge but can always find their way to the nearest pub! Or why women can spot a blonde hair at twenty paces but they will hit the garage door when they park the car

yet another one of those silly books which tries to create an abyss between men and women. The truth is ... men and women are more alike than different.This book is based on stereotypical views and simplistic thinking, and the ideas are not backed up by credible science. The book might appeal to the very average person, but for those of you who are a little smarter and who are searching for more insight and original and clever views ... this book is not for you. Of course there are some general gender differences ... that's obvious ... but this book addresses them in such a black and white manner... whereas in reality there is so much cross-over, and the reality about true gender differences is far more complex.
Thought provoking, interesting, witty March 3, 2003

That pretty much sums up all the books in this series I've found. Enough intelligent, thought provoking stuff to stop the brain seizing up, without needing a degree in human biology, brain sciences or anything else to understand what they're going on about. Nice witty little cartoons that get the point across immediately. A big fan of these two, although if you're highly academic, you may argue with their fidings, although its presented in such a way it at least makes you stop and think about things a little....
