I recently picked up
Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. from the library. The book pretty much sums up RobbyDC and I's relationship in 286 pages. My favorite section is titled '101 Ways to Score Points with a Woman'. Here is a snippet of some of the little pearls of advice the book offered:
- Upon returning home find her first before doing anything else and give her a hug.
- Take her side when she is upset with someone.
- Buy her little presents - like a small box of chocolates or perfume.
- Write a note on special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries.
- Organize and prepare a picnic.
- Get ready to go to sleep together and get in bed at the same time.
- Read out loud or cut out sections of the newspaper that would interest her.
This entire section took up four pages of the book. The following section 'What a Man Needs' was equivalent to two paragraphs. Sounds accurate right?
This book is very stereotypical but RobbyDC is a hardwired dude and I am a bonafide girly-girl so it has been great in helping me understand why he does things and vice-versa. I highly recommend it to anybody who needs help working on their communication skills.
Also, what are ways that a man/woman can do to score points with you?
