insights into men and women.
WE ON MARS
Martians value power, competency, efficiency, and achievement. They are always doing things
to prove themselves and develop their power and skills. Their sense of self is defined through
their ability to achieve results. They experience fulfilment primarily through success and
accomplishment.
Everything on Mars is a reflection of these values. Even their dress is designed to reflect their
skills and competence. Police officers, soldiers, businessmen, scientists, cab drivers,
technicians, and chefs all wear uniforms or at least hats to reflect their competence and power.
They don't read magazines like Psychology Today, Self, or People. They are more concerned
with outdoor activities, like hunting, fishing, and racing cars. They are interested m the news,
weather, and sports and couldn't care less about romance novels and self-help books.
They are more interested in "objects" and "things" rather than people and feelings. Even today
on Earth, while women fantasize about romance, men fantasize about powerful cars, faster
computers, gadgets, gizmos, and new more powerful technology Men are preoccupied with the
"things" that can help them express power by creating results and achieving their goals.
Achieving goals is very important to a Martian because it is a way for him to prove his
competence and thus feel good about himself. And for him to feel good about himself he must
achieve these goals by himself. Someone else can't achieve them for him. Martians pride
themselves in doing things all by themselves. Autonomy is a symbol of efficiency, power, and
competence.
