Which came first, the crazy or the stupid?

It’s the million-dollar question we all want the answer to. Are women crazy because men are stupid? Or are men stupid because women are crazy? Not surprisingly, the way we answer these two questions divides us quite neatly along gender lines. Because, let’s face it, we all have a lot invested in the answer. Women maintain that over the course of their lives they are driven slowly and methodically crazy by stupid men. And men maintain that it’s impossible for any man to act smartly with a women who’s out of her freaking mind. If we can just prove one came first, the other side will have blaming rights for all eternity.
–From Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid

The revealing, rip-roaringly funny guide to making every relationship smarter, saner, and happier.

Since the dawn of time, when the first smitten caveboy tried to woo the object of his affections by shoving her into the mud, men have demonstrated that when it comes to women, they are profoundly stupid. And when it comes to men, women — no matter how intelligent or mature — are completely crazy.

Based on the simple yet groundbreaking insight, comedy writers and real-life couple Howard J. Morris and Jenny Lee have devised a relationship guide that is refreshingly honest, completely hilarious, and surprisingly practical. Using their own crazy/stupid romance as an example of these forces in action, they set out to explain why women ask questions that they absolutely do not want answered — and why men persist in answering them. What are men really thinking — or crucially, not thinking? Why do women view even the most mundane events through an emotional prism? Why do guys suck at being romantic? And why does every conversation with a woman lead back to whether or not she’s fat?

Using wit, hard-earned wisdom, and a highly entertaining he said/she said format, the authors explore the surprising method to his dumbness and the valid reasons behind her insanity, while providing real solutions to perennial relationship problems. By teaching men how and why they’re stupid around women and showing women how to “control the crazy” for everybody’s sake, Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid helps couples to reach the place where giving isn’t giving in, needing isn’t needy, and where the sexes can break the dysfunctional patterns and find a way to live lovingly, happily ever after.

My Thoughts

This is one humorous look at how relationships work. The ins and outs and ups and downs are laid out in a hilarious look at how men look at women and vice-versa when dealing with each other in everyday life. One of my favorite parts of the book has the woman handing her husband a grocery list with very specific items to get and of course he doesn’t come home with what she specifically asked for. When asked why the man just says he only read the first line not the specifications. I loved it because it is a problem I deal with every once in a while. I love my husband, don’t get me wrong but his grocery shopping skills could be upgraded a bit I give this very funny book two thumbs up, go out and get Women Are Crazy Men Are Stupid today!
