The song remains the same

John Gray, Ph.D.--the relationship guru with the correspondence-coursepsychology degree--asserted that Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. And his book's lengthy stay on the best-seller lists suggests that men and women still can't figure each other out. Even so, you'd think the mental gap between the sexes would have narrowed among younger people raised in more equality-minded times. No such luck. When Harvard Medical School's William Pollack, Ph.D., asked college students to share their thoughts about the opposite sex, the responses were depressingly familiar. Below, the top three things each sex still finds most puzzling about the other:

WOMEN

o How can men have sex with you when they don't love you?

o Why are men so afraid of their emotions?

o Why don't they remember important things like birthdays and anniversaries?

MEN

o Why do women need romance and to be in love in order to have sex?

o Why are women so emotionally unstable?

o Why do they make a big deal out of trivial stuff like remembering birthdays?
