Abstract
This book in my opinion sheds so much light on the way a man’s mind operates. Let’s take a minute to evaluate the “Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus” theory.

I personally have thick skin; however I do know many women wear their hearts on their sleeve only to end up with them broken. If we as women take the advice of the title “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,” and ask the questions we are many times afraid to hear the real answer to we would save ourselves a ton of
