Why Looking Into a Woman’s Eyes is Critical

Are Men and Women Really That Different?
People say they know they are different, but it seems to us that a lot of the tension between men and women occurs because men expect women to think and behave like men, while women expect men to think and behave like women. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? What are your experiences?
