The Romance Novel Routine

I’m in advertising, and for about six months ago I’ve been intrigued with how men and women communicate. What happened is that a friend of mine in the publishing industry told me this fact that blew me away.

(pause. I know the interest level is REALLY high here, because I always have their undivided attention at this point . In fact, one girl shooshed one of her friends who tried to interrupt me at this point).

He told me that out of all of the books sold in the US, 49% of them dealt with every category except for one. For instance – religion, art, physics, the Bible … everything … except for one.

Well, I grew up with 6 female cousins and 2 older sisters … no brothers … I thought I understood women … but that book blew me away. I was seeing this girl at the time and it was sort of dull… you know… Anyway, I was writing her an email and I got the idea that maybe I should rephrase things a little bit, you know, the way that a woman wants to hear. So I rewrote my email, saying the same exact thing that it said before, but worded differently. I spoke to HER… the next day, at 5:45am I got her reply … “I couldn’t sleep all night, I’ve been thinking about you constantly, I have never had anybody
understand me so well before, I am feeling so passionate right now.
