MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS
=== Here's something that I got from the book:
Men are from Mars: When discussing something, men want to state the answer.
Women are from Venus: Women discuss to discuss. The answer isn't as important as the exchange of information. (It's been a while since I've read the book. I know I could have stated this better.)
=== Here is how I see it playing out in life:
The man has the answer (so he thinks) and forces it on the woman.
Because the man *has the answer*, he is forcing the conversation toward a monologue.
The woman is barraged with this everyday.
=== Let's apply it to tango:
Plenty of men *know* they are doing the step correctly, therefore they believe that the woman should accept it and just follow, damn it!
Plenty of men *know they are right* and are awfully busy telling the women that they are wrong.
These men turn the dance into a monologue.
Women would sure love a beautiful conversation.
=== Here is how I see it applying to these posts:
The women have stated, very clearly, that they don't appreciate being thought of in certain ways.
The men *are right* and must make the women see this.
=== Putting it all together
Men, if you will stop having to be right, this thread will cease to the delight of many!
Try this on: You don't have to understand Venus. It's okay. Take a vow of silence on this topic for a week. At the end of that week, be okay with that silence!
Thank you, in advance, for not responding to this post.
