I don't know who cooked up those Cosmo lists. Although a few make sense to me and are valid, many are ?????
The best book I ever read on the differences in men and women is written by an Australian husband and wife, Allan and Barbara Pease. It is entitled "Why Men Don't Listen and Women Can't Read Maps". It was a #1 international best seller, first published in 2001. I have a now very dog-eared 2009 edition. Mine I think I bought in Singapore. It was published in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Asia according to the copyright notice page in my copy. I do not know if it has been published in the USA.
Some of the topics:
Why men can't do more than one thing at a time
Why women make such a mess of reverse parking
Why men should never lie to a woman
Why women talk so much and men so little
Why men love erotic images and women aren't impressed
Why women prefer simply to talk it through
Why men offer solutions but hate advice
Why women despair about men's silences
Why men lie and women cry
p.s. This video provides a few amusing revelations of differences between men and women.
