1 " Under pressure, men drink alcohol and invade other countries; women eat chocolate and go shopping. "
― Allan Pease , Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It
2 " Most people have difficulty thinking of themselves as just another animal. They refuse to face the fact that 96% of what can be found in their bodies can also be found inside a pig or a horse or that our DNA is 97. 5% identical to that of a gorilla and 98. 4% to that of a chimpanzee. The only thing that makes us different from other animals is our ability to think and make forward plans. "
3 " A woman knows her children's friends, hopes, dreams, romances, secret fears, what they are thinking, how they are feeling and, usually, what mischief they are plotting. Men are vaguely aware of some short people also living in the house. "
4 " Femeile nu se descurcă bine în spaţiu, pentru că în evoluţia lor n-au vînat altceva decît bărbaţi. "
5 " This means that if boys and girls grew up on a deserted island with no organised society or parents to guide them, girls would still cuddle, touch, make friends and play with dolls, while boys would compete mentally and physically with each other and form groups with a clear hierarchy. "
6 " „Este clar că femeile sunt mai deştepte decît bărbaţii. Gîndiţi-vă — cel mai bun prieten al lor sînt diamantele; cel mai bun prieten al bărbaţilor este cîinele. "
7 " What is commonly called 'women's intuition' is mostly a woman's acute ability to notice small details and changes in the appearance or behaviour of others. It's something that, throughout history, has bewildered men who play around - and are invariably caught. "
8 " When Men and Women Are Both Stressed Uptight men drink alcohol and invade another country. Uptight women eat chocolate and invade shopping centers. "
9 " Sex is the price women pay for marriage. Marriage is the price men pay for sex. "
10 " Most men, if they’re going to lie to a woman, would be far better off doing it over the phone, in a letter, or with all the lights off and a blanket over their heads. "
11 " Men, however, shouldn't despair. They are excellent at identifying and imitating animal sounds, which would have been a significant advantage for the ancient hunter. Sadly, that's not quite as much use today. "
