pink and blue glasses/hearing aids

i'm reading a book called cracking the communication code by Emerson Eggerichs. so far it's been a thrill to read. most of the time i don't mark up books (cuz i choose to re-sell them) but this one has marks, highlights, writing of all sorts in it,and i'm only on page 56. it creates some great conversation for Troy and me. today's discussion was about how men and women hear and understand things differently.

If a two women are discussing 'excess oil', they are having concerns about their skin. If men are discussing 'excess oil', they have concerns about machinery or perhaps a slippery garage floor.

If a women says, 'I have nothing to wear', she's referring to having nothing new to wear, but if a guy says, 'I have nothing to wear', he's referring to not having any clean clothes.

If a women hears the words, 'Let's go shopping', she thinks, 'How wonderful!' yet if a man hears, 'Let's go shopping', he thinks, 'How can I get out of this?'
