Title: Overhyped but still helpful
Review: I can understand why so many people find this book rather annoying. The title is a bit cutesy, it has the same media-hyped, undeserved popularity of teenybopper pop groups, it has spawned a whole cottage industry, and people usually don't levy that much trust on pop-psych books, anyway, especially if they are in trade paperback form. This books is just so easy to make fun of. But it isn't all cheese. MAFM,WAFV will at least help you remember that there ARE fundamental differences between most men and women (as indeed there are between all human beings), an important thing to keep in mind when you can't understand why your partner is being so incredibly dense. And it will help you understand the basic differences between men and women, even though it oversimplifies things a bit. Sure beats hauling out three thousand page psychology textbooks and taking a course when all you want to know is why your partner is being so obtuse.
