It’s quite funny when one hears the saying, “Men are from Mars, women are from Venus”.

Mars: Roman God of war; warlike spirit, fighting, battle, army, force of arms.
Venus: Roman Goddess of sexual love and generation (Aphrodite); charm/beauty.

I disagree with the connotations of saying that women are from Venus. Well, men, I can’t say, so I’ll let you defend yourselves. :)

Men and women are on two completely different spheres. Just to pick on one example, many of my friends (who are female and especially those who are Christian) believe that one should date with marriage in mind. I agree full-heartedly, simply because dating without any long term purposes cheapens the experience, and well, you’d end up with broken hearts trailing behind you. Note, I never said that a proposal to date would be a marriage proposal. Go in knowing that this should work with eventual matrimony, if it is God’s will, and also that it might not work out. From what I’ve seen, many guys aren’t very ready for that kind of committment, hence arguing that one should “date for the sake of dating”. Correct me if I’m wrong. To an extent, I see that the committment is very daunting, especially if it means that you’ll be tied down to that one person, especially at such a tender age. Perhaps that’s why we teenagers are advised not to start dating till we can be sure that we are willing to date with a long-term goal in mind. Perhaps it’s us, females being romantic and impractical, but is it necessarily wrong?

I can’t write much more simply because that’s all there is to say. Not quite apt or appropriate but:

Amor volat undique
captus est libidine.
Iuvenes, iuvencule
coniunguntur merito.
Siqua sine socio,
caret omni gaudio;
tenet noctis infima
  sub intimo
cordis in custodia:
fit res amarissima.
