Men Are Like Blowtorches,
Women Are Like Ovens
When Martians and Venusians get together without
understanding that they come from different planets, it is quite
easy for a woman to misinterpret a man’s interest and experi-
ence repeated frustration and disappointment. Often a man
will suddenly become physically attracted to a woman and
then just as quickly lose interest. He is like a blowtorch that
can heat up really fast and then turn off in an instant. This
Martian tendency is easily misinterpreted because women are
not like blowtorches. Women are like ovens. They slowly heat
up and slowly cool off.
A man’s physical attraction heats up right away,
while a woman takes more time.
A woman assumes that if a man is physically attracted to
her, he is also interested in pursuing a relationship with her.
