Ever wonder why one woman loves it when you bring her roses and chocolates, but another woman is less than impressed? Or why one woman gushes over you for removing the hair crud out of her clogged pipe, but another woman gives a grudging, “Thanks, but I could have done that myself”?

Maybe you’re left thinking, “Women are a mystery.”

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was an operator’s manual to help you know what to do to make women happy?

Well, you’re in luck. The manual exists. It’s Gary Chapman’s book, The Five Love Languages.

And here’s more luck: I’m using this series to give you the Cliff Notes(r) version of The Five Love Languages. (Or SparkNotes(r) or Shmoop(r) or whatever today’s version is.)

Hopefully by now you have taken the test to find out what your language is. If not, see Part 1 of this series. That’s the first step.

Here, I’ll give you four more take-aways from the book so you know how to actually speak the love languages fluently. When you can do that, you can ‘operate’ women.

1. Speak her language, not yours.
