Men Are Like Waffles — Women Are Like Spaghetti is a 2001 book written by Bill and Pam Farrell,[1] co-directors and founders of relationship counseling organization Masterful Living.[2] It is based on an analogy comparing men to waffles and women to spaghetti.[3] In this analogy, the walled boxes that together constitute waffles symbolize men's psychological compartmentalization while the overlapping nature of spaghetti symbolizes women's favoring of psychological interconnectedness.[4]
Cordelia Fine criticized the book's title as being something a child would make up, and argued against the Farrells' premise that there are inherent sex differences in human psychology.[5] In 2002, the Farrells published a related book called Single Men Are Like Waffles — Single Women Are Like Spaghetti.[6]
