"a man's sense of self is defined through his ability to achieve results."
"to offer a man unsolicited advice is to presume that he doesn't know what to do or that he can't do it on his own."
"when a woman offers unsolicited advice or tries to 'help' a man, she has no idea of how critical or unloving she may sound to him."
all these are taken from the book "men are from mars. women are from venus"
