I could go on but I'm sure you get my point .

It really is just “Pop psychology”. It's a very good example of how you can cover all the subtleties of a vast and complex topic like behavioral and evolutionary psychology with just a few sweeping generalities missing out the tedious, but necessary, detail to develop a full bottom up understanding of what motivates us all.

If you are interested in the subject I recommend “The Essential Difference: The Truth about the Male and Female Brain” by Simon Baron-Cohen and/or “Sex and Cognition” by Doreen Kimura (Listed in order of preference) written (Beautifully if I may say so myself) by people who are both amongst the foremost experts in their field .

If I'm harsh on John Gray it's only because he is an inept idiot of an author writing about something he obviously has a shallow understanding of (at best) , don't let his views alone poison yours because this field of research is rapidly advancing and fascinating when explored by experts .

Anyone who has had anything resembling a relationship with any member of the opposite sex knows we think and respond differently. I wish I had cashed in on that and wrote a book with a catchy sci-fi title before that con artist (yes con artist with an online degree from a phony university) did then I'd be rich and inviting you all over to my Venusian shag pad so we can explore our "differences"

Now I will just have to write a book about embittered sexaholic men in the middle east

There is a cynical part of me saying that women should have sex with other women are reserve marriage and sex with men purely for practical purposes (Getting water to come out of the taps for instance ), wouldn't both sexes be much happier this way? Of course I'm sure they would have adopted this approach if it had any merit or if there was any truth in the complaint they keep voicing than men cannot satify them . So on most grounds I have to refute that argument based on the evidence.
