Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition beige boards with a brown cloth spine and silver spine lettering contained in a fine condition non-priced clipped color illustrated dust jacket. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Dr.Joy Brown with blue Sharpie on the blank first front free endpaper. "The forty most common misunderstandings between the sexes and how to resolve them." - from the jacket front. "[Dr. Browne] tackles a subject that has been a problem since Eve bit into the apple and Adam got his first clear-eyed glimpse of her. Men and women - will they ever understand each other? "Men and women breathe the same air, tread the same ground, but beyond that, there are probably more differences than similarities. While both bleed, their reaction to being wounded, and what wounds them, varies as greatly as does what turns them on and off." Dr. Browne recognizes that these differences are like an obstacle course in a survivalist camp, and that as we head toward a decade of closer and more permanent relationships, the ability to navigate the course successfully depends more than ever on a clear understanding of who we ourselves are, and a sincere acknowledgment and acceptance that our partner may be different. The age old contrasts between the sexes are both the joy and the bane of a relationship, and what Dr. Browne helps us do is eliminate the negative so that we approach each other as appreciative friends rather than as wary enemies. In her brisk, refreshingly contemporary tone, she provides a dating manual for adults, a guide to eliminating misinterpretation, so that the differences between the sexes become traits to cherish rather than to change. Using more than forty common scenarios that often lead to misunderstanding and blame, Dr. Browne shows us how to avoid these areas of contention for the future. For instance, there's The Phone Game: they meet at a party, he asks for her number and never calls - a familiar situation. She then blames all men for being manipulative when he only meant to be polite. As the days go by and he doesn't call, she moves from hurt to angry, so that if he ever did phone, he'd be met with hostility. From The Old Flame scenario to Sex Too Soon, from The Marriage Con to Telling All, these and other typical arenas of conflict between today's men and women are discussed, and then Dr. Browne supplies her useful advice to avoid future problems. A tongue-in-cheek glossary of male and female definitions for the same word is also included to telescope the unchanging but understandable differences. As Dr. Browne says," . this is a manual intended for use by relatively sane adults who are looking for a relatively sane relationship, but who don't seem to have quite gotten the knack yet." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
