Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus.

My brother actually bought the book. I think the author of the book is actually divorced. Huh.
To learn about the mysteries of relationships between men and women, just go out to the bookstore and buy any of Jane Austen's novels: it's much cheaper (around RM12) and you'll appear much smarter and well-read when you read it on the bus. Miss Austen understood how a man's mind worked as well as she understood a woman's.

Example 1: "A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment..."
This is what the 3 of us did when we got together on Thursday night and Sarah's brain and eyes are constantly on the lookout to matchmake people, no matter how much they beg her not to. :)
I think we married off one of our friends already and are already planning our overseas holidays in which we'll be staying at her place. Hey, nobody ever said that matchmaking was a purely altruistic deed that she's doing out of the goodness of her heart. Must got ganjaran, you know!

Example 2: "But no sooner had he made it clear to himself and his friends that she had hardly a good feature in her face, than he began to find it was rendered uncommonly intelligent by the beautiful expression of her dark eyes. To this discovery succeeded some others equally mortifying. Though he had detected with a critical eye more than one failure of perfect symmetry in her form, he was forced to acknowledge her figure to be light & pleasing; & in spite of his asserting that her manners were not those of the fashionable world, he was caught by their easy playfulness."
See? Isn't this what we all do, girls and boys? First we say don't like, then we start to secretly like, then we even more vocal to our friends that we don't like, because we're afraid that we are beginning to like. First, not pretty enough, but look quite smart & not air-headlike; body not proportionate enough, but then quite slim and slender; not classy enough, but then quite friendly and approachable. Tsk tsk tsk...A friend of mine mentioned that she hates it when the guy isn't sure about his feelings or isn't sure if he should do anything about it. Same here, girlfriend, but I suppose sometimes we have to cut them some slack. It's not like we're confident enough about our feelings most of the time, right?
