David, your post is thought provoking for me. This Mars/Venus thing:
I tend to be an information type woman, not a huggy kissy one. But I DO
LISTEN well...and carefully. My Mars person here does NOT listen well, although he tries.

IMO the Mars/Venus thing is about listening.
On the internet I think much more along the lines of information, and I do read almost every post. I just don't always respond. When I get the feeling that someone can improve their lot, then the info comes out.
I think we all have very different personalities and that a reminder now and then about how we should accept that rather than confront that is a bit more valid.
I don't know what prompted this post, but I for one just think it is more than a simple Mars/Venus thingy.
