Mann vs. Dame - Del 1

Artig lesestoff.

Same species, Different Worlds.

Men and women are different. Not better or worse – but different. Just about the only thing they have in common is that they belong to the same species. They live in different worlds, with different values and according to quite different sets of rules. Everyone knows this, but very few people, particularly men, are game to admit it. The truth, however, is most definitely out there. Look at the evidence. Around 50% of marriages end in divorce in Western countries and most relationships stop short of becoming long term. Men and women of every culture, creed and hue constantly argue over their partners’ opinions, behaviour, attitudes and beliefs.

 

Some Things Are Obvious.

When a man goes to the rest room, he usually goes for one reason and one reason only. Women use rest rooms as social lounges and therapy rooms. Women who go to a rest room as strangers can come out best friends and lifelong buddies. Everyone would be instantly suspicious of the man, however, who calls out, “Hey Frank, I’m going to the toilet-you wanna come with me?”

Men dominate TV remote controls and flick through channels; women don’t mind watching the commercials. Under pressure, men drink alcohol and invade other countries; women eat chocolate and go shopping.

Women criticise men for being insensitive, uncaring, not listening, not being warm and compassionate, not talking, not giving enough love, not being committed to relationships, wanting to have sex instead of making love, and leaving the toilet seat up.

Men criticise women about their driving, for not being able to read street directories, for turning maps upside down, for their lack of sense of direction, for talking too much without getting to the point, for not initiating sex often enough and for leaving the toilet seat down. Men can never seem to find things but their CDs are in alphabetical order. Women can always find the missing set of car keys, but rarely the most direct route to their destination. Men think they’re the most sensible sex. Women know they’re it.

Men marvel at the way a woman can walk into a room full of people and give an instant commentary on everyone; women can’t believe men are so unobservant.

Men are amazed how a woman can’t see a red flashing oil light on the car dashboard but can spot a dirty sock in a dark corner 50 metres away. Women are bewildered by men who can consistently parallel park a car in a tight spot using a rear view mirror, but can never find the G-spot.

If women is out driving and gets lost, she’ll stop and ask for directions. To a man, this is a sign of weakness. He’ll drive round in circles for hours, muttering things like, “I’ve found a new way to get there” or “I’m in the general area” and “Hey, I recognise that petrol station!”

 

Different Job Specs

Men and women have evolved differently because they had to. Men hunted, women gathered. Men protected, women nurtured. As a result, their brains evolved in completely different ways.

As their bodies physically changed to better adapt to their specific functions, so did their minds. Men grew taller and stronger than most women, while their brains developed to suit their tasks. Women were mostly content for men to work away as they kept the cave fires burning, and their brains evolved to cope with their function in life.

Over millions of years, the brain structures of men and women thus continued to change in different ways. Now, we know the sexes process information differently. They think differently. They believe different things. They have different perceptions, priorities and behaviours.

To pretend otherwise, is a recipe for heartache, confusion and disillusionment all your life.

 

 

Tja...?
