Another Look at Venus and Mars

*   The Difference
    A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
    A successful women is one who can find such a man.

*   The Style
    Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
    Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

*   Depression
    When women are depressed they either eat or go shopping.
    Men invade another country.  It's a whole different way of thinking.

*   Buying
    A man is a person who will pay two dollars for a one-dollar item he 
wants.
    A woman will pay one dollar for a two-dollar item that she doesn't 
want.

*   Relationships
    Most men's primary fantasy is still, unfortunately, access to a
    number of beautiful women. For a man, commitment means giving up this 
fantasy.
    Most women's primary fantasy is a relationship with one man who
    either provides economic security or is on his way to doing so (he has
   "potential"). For a woman, commitment to this type of man means 
achieving
    this fantasy.
    So commitment often means that a woman achieves her primary fantasy,
    while a man gives his up.

*   Love
    Men always want to be a woman's first love.
    Women have a more subtle instinct: What they like is to be a man's
    last romance.

*   More Love
    The only way to understand a woman is to love her - and then it is
    not necessary to understand her.  
    To women, love is an occupation.  To men, a preoccupation.

*   Happiness
    To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot and love him
    a little.
    To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot and not try to
    understand her at all.

*   Marriage
    A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
    A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change and she does.
    Men marry because they are tired; woman because they are curious.
    Both are disappointed.

*   Spouses
    A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband, while a
    man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

*   Husbands
    Only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. One is to
   let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her 
have
    it.
