About this audiobook
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 this 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.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It started out well enough; witty, funny, but then yes Jenny is CRAZY! If women around the world act like her, and I were a man, I'd become a monk. Then the book started to have too many "political montages" that really put a damper on what the book was supposedly about. Beside that though, it was okay. Their crazy and stoopid (not a typo), work well together.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5The concept is interesting, but it was too overdone for me. I suspect it would move faster in print.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you're desperately looking for a last-minute Valentine's gift, this is it! Morris and Lee have written a laugh-out-loud funny explanation of why men and women are forever doomed to butt head (and hearts). The great thing about this book is that neither side really comes out ahead. Although Lee makes the point that it's men's stupidity that drives women crazy, Morris is right there with examples and anecdotes to show that women have some degree of mental unbalance right from the get-go.Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid is a perfect gift for couples because you get the point of view of both men and women. Even with all the laughs, readers will still gain insight and understanding of the opposite sex. It's pretty clear that Morris and Lee have a lot of love and respect for each other - and themselves individually. They poke fun at themselves as much as at each other, and you can't do that without a pretty healthy attitude.This is a terrific book for Valentine's Day, anniversaries, weddings - it's the kind of book couples can give to each other or someone else can give to the couple together. Hidden within all the humor are some great relationship pearls of wisdom!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I actually don't believe that men are sweet and women are bitches, but that is the way they are portrayed in this book. Yeah, the guy does some stupid things (the fawn anecdote is hard to live down) but she is so unremittingly awful in this book, so crazy - a perfect day is ruined by a Ferris wheel closing early, a bouquet of flowers leads to drama, because the buds aren't opened enough, no matter what he does, somehow it isn't good enough. Yes she notices more about him, but she comes across as so critical and mean spirited that I found the book depressing. Far from laugh out loud, it was more a wry chuckle or two, and far from feeling it described the sexes, it made me feel sad, because if this is honestly how most women operate, well, no wonder men are confused. No woman would act like this with her female friends and it's awful that she thinks she can act like this with her lover. Marry him, the case for Marrying Mr Good Enough is the polar opposite of this book, and much, much better.
