Excerpts from The Book of Love:
1. Men and women have nothing in common. We
are like two highly-charged magnets facing each other, pole-to-pole,
repelling each other......What? This is The Book of Love,
isn't it????? Yes, this is The Book of Love, and love is
the elastic of mutual attraction that overcomes this natural repulsion
of men and women by turning us end-to-end (like this book), so-to-speak.
It's more fun that way, anyway. What do highly-charged poles in
a magnet do when they are turned opposite to each other? Bingo.
They ATTRACT.
Nature has created this frustrating conundrum, but has also
given us the key to crack it: Love. Hence this book.
Men and women are perfectly complementary, just like the
positive and negative poles of a magnet---Jing and Jang (I'll
explain that one later).
Think of men and women as two halves of
a broken coin: a female half---Jing, and a male half---Jang. Two
completely separate things that share nothing but that potential
common ground where they fit together. When the two halves are
placed together, something magical happens...the whole becomes
greater than the sum of the parts.
What we don't have in common is mutual
understanding and shared interests; what we do have in common,
as a result, is limitless fascination with each other at a stroke.
Brilliant.
Women and men spend time together
because they are drawn by the sexual attraction and all that goes
with it. and derives from it. But essentially, men hang out with
men and women hang out with women, because there is more compatibility
among the sexes than between the sexes.
Even though men and women are incapable of truly understanding
one another, all is not lost! Nature has sweetened the deal even
more by making men and women complementary----Jing and Jang.
I said I'd explain that and I will...but
only in the book....so, if you want to find out what it means
(along with all the other great stuff you can't live without!)
you'll have to buy the book!!!
The Jing and Jang symbol makes an integral,
elegant whole of two completely separate, but complementary parts.
Similarly, men and women, though coming from different directions
and having almost nothing in common, can come together in a complementary
union in which they can both share and contribute, touching as
much of each other as possible. Like an impossibly difficult puzzle
with only two parts that when put together makes anything possible.
The trick is finding that other truly complementary piece! Ha!
It sounds easy on the surface...there's only one other type of
piece to complete the puzzle and the world is full of them....but
when that one other exactly right piece is out there mixed
up with all the other very similar pieces, you can begin to appreciate
the great cosmic sense of humor. They
all fit, but only one fits perfectly.
"Here, try this one! No?
Oh. Well, then how about this one....or THIS one?"
41. The way to a man's heart is not through his stomach! (who ever came up with that dumb idea?).
This fiction must have been foisted on all of us by a woman
who hated sex, was a great cook, and had a wimp for a husband.
The way to a man's heart is to become his sexual fantasy, to take
an interest in what interests him, and to let him be who he wants
to be and encourage him in all his pursuits. If you can whip up
a great Stroganoff in the bargain, terrific, but it's only frosting
on the cake (unless you're with a food freak).
57. A woman who dresses in sexy clothes will always get a man's attention. A woman who doesn't, won't.
You may not want to dress up in sexy
clothes....fair enough. As much as you may or may not like this
trait in men, I'm just pointing out an obvious fact to file away
in that computer of yours for future use.
Attract his attention first....THEN
when you've got it you can let him know how wonderful you really
are.
