I saw a bit of a girl's soccer match a few years ago, ages 9-10. One of the girls tripped and fell. All the other girls, from both teams, rushed to comfort her as she lay crying, the ball bouncing away towards the sidelines, ignored and unattended. On another field, the boys of the same age were having a match. One of them, also, tripped, fell, and started crying. The other boys stepped over -- and on -- him as they rushed to gain control of the ball. I don't think they would have cared if the kid were seriously injured, though he wasn't. GET.THE.BALL.AT.ALL.COSTS. This is the difference between males and females, it is innate, and it stays with us into adulthood.
Boys watch lots of porn. Girls traditionally didn't like porn. But these days a lot of young and older women are into porn. So that seems to be changing. Most boys are checking out porn by about age 10.; this according to a lecture on TedX. That's about when I started on the Playboy and Penthouse magazines.
Men tend to be fixers. We like to address a problem and arrive at a solution. This is why many women get their feelings hurt. They often just want men to listen, not fix. Then men get impatient because they thought they solved the problem - nothing makes her happy. Women tend to be organizers. This also makes them controllers. Men don't want to be controlled. Then, controlling and organizing often turns into perpetual nagging. That is probably the number one complaint I've heard from other men. Nag nag nag. But many men also want sex one or several times a day. According to one study I read, about 80% pf women experience a decline in their sex drive when they feel safe and secure in a relationship. So do all the right things for your wife and get cut off for it.
Men are Stupid Women are crazy Women are crazy because men are stupid Men are stupid because women say they are Solution~ shut up and smile
Part of the reason for this is: Corpus callosum in women may have 30% more connections than men!!!!!!
In 25 years a comment like that will get you shunned from polite society and possibly disciplined at work.
Men are focussers. Women are multi-taskers. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. Your soccer observations are a perfect example. Men focus on the singular purpose of getting a goal, to the exclusion of the safety and well being of their teammate, while women have the wider perspective to quickly adapt their priority to the new situation- the safety and well-being of their teammate- at the expense of winning a goal.
Some men have female characteristics and some women male characteristics. Do we know why this is? Hormonal? There is no intermediate chromosome between x and y, is there?
Im guessing men are prone to certain dominant traits and women are prone to other dominant traits, but the recessive traits can become dominant under certain less common circumstances (like, yes, various hormonal levels during developement).
I would go so far as to conjecture gender differences might be different in different ethnicities or regional genepools. I mean, it might not simply only just be a matter of gender and ethnicity, there might be some degree of interplay between them.
I did, I was also reading college level physics books. But young men like porn. A recent survey found that approximately 100% of young men watch porn. You are a classic defeated male.
One major difference between a male and a female is that a "female needs a reason to have sex. A male just needs a place."
Men tend to make overly generalised assumptions about women while women tend to make overly generalised assumptions about men.
Marriage is all about expectations. Guys marry expecting that the girl they marry will never change. Girls marry expecting that the guy can be changed. Both parties are inevitably disappointed when it comes to their expectations about marriage.
My $ .02 is that men should be unabashedly masculine while adhering to social norms (despite the inherent rough edges); none of this pajama boy 'snowflake', quasi / tamped down masculinity! Collectively, I've had much more satisfaction dating 'real men' despite the anguish of their bull headed stupidity - than w/ trying the 'safe route' w/ snowflake men (in touch w/ their "feelings")... - I have GF's for the latter, lol...
Some of the jackass stuff we do and say comes from a deep seated need to be slapped down -- maybe pulled to the curb is a better metaphor -- by someone, anyone, and if not by women, then whom? That part is clear. What is less clear is "why?" My theory is that we are instinctively self destructive, and if we didn't have women to tell is we're being stupid, our life spans would be a lot shorter. Another theory I've heard is that we aren't any of us grown up not really, and acting dumb is a way to get attention from our mommies.
I think that the whole thing could be even more complex than that..... (There is a link there to a discussion with the title) : Parapsychology and whether or not LGBT community were born that way?
