Someone on topic here...it's said that guys go for the visual stuff (like Playboy) and girls go for the printed word (romance novels).

Interesting how a teenage girl can walk into a bookstore and buy a Harlequin novel, but it's not so easy for a teenage boy to buy Playboy. (Not that I condone these things, 'cause I do think they're exploitation.)

An old proverb says
The way to a woman's heart is through her ears

Women love to be "chatted up", something about the spoken word and tone of voice

I agree Alexandra that men tend to respond to visual stimulation more. That's why I get pissed off at teenage girls who seem to be power-tripping with their new toy (sexy body); either they don't know the power they have, or they do and don't care about social ethics
