Possibly one of the most noxious books of recent decades, that.
--- Quote ---For instance, a woman might come home and complain about a horrible day at work. All she really wants from her man is a sympathetic ear, and when he tries to give her concrete advice on how to fix the problem, she blows up at him and says he doesn't understand her. Or when a man is depressed and grouchy, a woman tries to give him sympathy and all he wants is to retreat into himself and be left alone. Small failures to communicate properly can really put a strain on an otherwise workable relationship.

These generalisations do not apply to either all women or all men; differences in communciation styles between human beings are a real and valid topic, but treating them as if all women were like X and all men were like Y [ heh, little genetics joke there ] is really rotten, it doesn't give anyone a fair chance at being seen as an individual first, which I happen to believe is kind of essential.

I'm not sure I can do anything useful with the mental image that came into my mind reading this, which was of a couple bitterly divided by which gang they sympathise with in West Side Story and which I am pretty sure you did not mean, but it really should be used somewhere.

This is going to sound odd, but my gf says that coffee speeds up her period, is it true?

Not sure if this helps any but my wife will do strange things to her cigs in bizarre mini-attempts to quit smoking. Like today there was a pack out lying next to our car when it was about to rain. I asked her about it and she thought that if they got rained on it would help her stop smoking....
