They are different because he has tried to explain to her his theory about popular music hundreds of times - the one that focuses on The Ballad of El Goodo by Big Star - and she has never listened. She has a theory of her own, one that has nothing to do with popular music, one that states that men like racket sports because of an inborn psychological propensity for grasping, grabbing, holding and hitting. She thinks this can explain everything from masturbation to hand-holding to the way he brushes his teeth.
This is how they are different. That is not to say they are incompatible. In fact, it is rare to find a person with a theory at all these days. To find two in one bedroom is remarkable.
