In chapter five Vonnegut discusses the differences between men and women and what they want. Vonnegut says men want pals to be with and women want people to talk to and when they get married each gain more pals or people to talk to through extended families. People haven't been having many children to have large extended families for each gender to get what they want and that's why divorces have been taking place Vonnegut says. He mentions that people will think its about money or power but it's really just about people to talk to in almost any situation.
Vonnegut brings his point from the men and women to the Germans and Anglos. This chapter compares these points during the entire chapter. Vonnegut says Germans and Anglos had a fault line between them and the girls family didn't appreciate him being German. The chapter finishes off with Vonnegut talking about the Germans and Anglos and why they had a dispute and how this girls family and the Anglos like to have control.
