I would imagine that would make a big difference, Elicia, it's amazing how clueless so many young people are about the opposite sex, and it's all because we are trapped in echo chambers that teach us about our own side, but never the other.
To add to your comment about evolution, something fascinating I found was how when a woman has a child, if she focuses on the baby, the communication challenges between men and women often worsen.
This is because inevitably, women's skills at reading body language and talking in body language, go through the roof thanks to the baby, making it more difficult for men to follow what a woman is saying.
The world works in mysterious ways, and I've heard of the book, the purple covered one LOL, it's on my reading list!
Thanks as ever for the comment, Elicia!
