I felt that Dave Barry’s “Guys vs. Men” was a very humorous essay‚ but in some ways‚ it was also informative. Whether or not a person (especially a woman) wants to admit it‚ this essay’s content was pretty correct.

GUYS VS. MEN DAVE BARRY Dave Barry (b. 1947) is a syndicated columnist for the Miami Herald‚ where he won a Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1988.
