Degrading to Women
I am not a Womens activist, but if someone was really being an active reader they would have caught on to the hidden cues in this book.

John Gray has issues with women and wrote this book to help men negate all accountability and responsibility for their actions. Men instinctively go to their caves! They don't know they're doing it! While men are in their caves women should go talk to their friends or go shopping!

How condescending. Sure, he added some flavor to help the women reading the book believe that he was really interested in helping them, and added some catch phrases to sell it , but I'm not buying this bull!

Everything we say and do has meaning, right! Well, why do men go to caves? Caves make us think of cavemen who symbolize strength, and aggression. The hunter!

Tell me why we are claimed to dwell in a well when we need time out. A well makes me think of something deep, dark, dirty, far beneath the earth. Is this Hell? The well is a symbol of darkness, aloneness, despair. Wow, are women pathetic in the eyes of John Gray.

I refuse to read anymore of his books until he comes back from Mars and lands on planet Earth.

it is only one sided and can lead to confusion because of all the exceptions to everything. it assumes a lot.

Doesn't live up to what people say it is, only in one view.

I have never read so much nonsense in just one book before. This book is basically instructing a woman on the best ways to spoil a man.
