John Gray's Mars and Venus on a Date: "Contemporary" Advice That's Really from the 50s

bylernerj Mar 3, 2002

Pros it's possible that it helps some people's relationships
Cons unbelievably old-fashioned, sexist gender ideology underlying the advice
Recommended it? No

For as long as I can remember, John Gray has been one of the most popular relationship advice "experts" on the market. His best-selling Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus never quite sat right with me. Based on what I heard about it in the press, it sounded to me like the kind of... Read full review »

Mars and Venus Should Have Stayed Home!

Pros Entertaining, old-fashioned way of looking at relationships.
Cons Idealistic, unrealistic and too narrow in its focus.
Recommended it? No

I have to concur with some of the other reviews. This book, though it was written in the '90s is hopelessly out of date. I say that because John Gray seems to have a very antiquated approach to how men and women should conduct themselves on the eve of the 21st century, when it was written. Here is...

Pros Society loves it and it promotes tolerance
Cons It's absolute Crap
Recommended it? No

Before I start to offend I should state that my opinion is well researched and not just and
ignorant accusation based upon mere preference. At first I though John Gray was a
revolutionary master of psychology and had given the answer to the problem of
male-female communication... Read full review »

Recommended it? Yes

John Gray has many useful suggestions in all of his books for improving communication between men and women. This book is no exception.

Pros Some good techniques to gain interest of your dating partner
Cons Too old fashioned, lacks soul, too focused on techniques
Recommended it? No

Well, there was a time when Mars and Venus kind of made sense, back when we looked at our dating patterns and really saw that men and women had to be understood in their own way. That was ok, but now, get ready for Mars and Venus, John Gray's money machine with all the paid seminars and all the... Read full review »

1. Attraction

4. Intimacy
5. Engagement

The rest of the book is a collection of insights on how to make relationships successful or how... Read full review »
