Men are, indeed, from Mars, and women are from Venus. As old as humanity, there has always existed a disparity of nature between the male and female genders.

Recently I met someone who told me that she is a therapist that specializes in relationships.

According to a recent news report, 34% of people in the U.S. are overweight, with an additional 33% considered obese! This means that just a third of us are of ‘normal’ weight. These statistics include people of all ages, including kids. No wonder everyone seems to be on a perpetual diet, with dozens of best [...]
