This should be good. lol
I liked the PBS special on Brain Sex, where a doctor measured the ratio of the index and fourth fingers and figured out who would win a race (and who would come in second, third, and so-on), and who would do well on a task with heavy machinery—he picked out the only woman who would do so in the group. It was impressive.
hehe that’s pretty good! A very vivid and accurate description.
Sometimes FR can be my nothing box...
It's true, women are just more sophisticated than men. Look at advertising.
To sell a product to a man, you say "buy this product, and you'll get Swedish bikini models."
To sell a product to the far more sophisticated woman, you must say "buy this product, and you'll be a Swedish bikini model."
really? i never would have noticed. /sarc>
I read both the male and female brain articles.
The way they were written, the male brain is the one that is wrong because it isn’t like the female brain. The tone of the articles were the male brain has deficiencies that must be compensated for. When it came to the female brain article, nothing was wrong about it, it had a bunch of warnings and notes about men having to realize the differences and make adjustments.
My wife can remember what she ate on November 23, 1983...I do not remeber what I ate at 2:00 today
Crap like this is another good reason Hillary Clinton must never get her meaty hands on the levers of power.
Men are either horny or hungry. If you see a man who isn’t excited, just make him a sandwich.
Women can not explain what they can’t not understand.

Why toilet seats should be left up.
Translation: Don’t be upset that he doesn’t talk to you, doesn’t listen to you, and doesn’t remember what is important to you. It’s not his fault. It’s his brain. To his brain, you’re just not that important! That’s all!
When you’re a man, the whole world is your urinal.
They did a study on this?
Bill Engvall said it all when he said that “Men simply aren’t that deep. We only have 3 needs. Food, sleep, and sex. And we can do all 3 in our pickup trucks!”

Men do like to talk about relationships. When I see an in-stride completion on a 55-yard post pattern it makes me all mushy inside. Montana-Rice, Elway-Johnson, Brady-Moss, dang it, I can hardly see the monitor for the tears...
I’m not a big Dr. Laura fan, but she did get this right.
With men, if it’s not “I’m horny”, it’s “I’m hungry, make me a sandwich”
Married over 15 years to one very satisfied pleasingly plump man!!
“You may have to put it out there, because men aren’t as skilled at women at reading subtle emotional cues........”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
This is merely a sweeping generalization, true of some but certainly not all, in my experience women are often hopless at reading subtle cues, I have seen women, including both my own wives, exhibit a TOTAL AND COMPLETE lack of any sense of timing whatsoever. The typical female who is home when her husband returns from work starts rattling her mouth a mile a minute as soon as he comes through the door. This is absolutely the worst time to talk to a man about anything. I could rant on and on but let me simply say that all this garbage about women’s supposed superiority is just that, garbage. Just think about Hillary Clinton and realize that she is NOT one of a kind.
If you show cleavage you want sex. If you don't, you want to be respected.
This has to be some of the worst, most anti-man biased crap I have read in some time. They have no balance; everything is about how the woman’s brain is better at things, and how the man’s brain needs external mechanisms to cope. These articles could be re-written to reflect the bias in the opposite direction, except that the screams of “sexism” would be heard three states away. Therefore, and in spite of the wails of “male chauvinist pig”, in the spirit of fairness (NB this is satire; don’t shoot the messenger):
Be patient with his memory:
He doesn’t obsess endlessly over trivial details like you do. You’ll have to accept that in the real world, where he lives, it doesn’t matter if he can’t remember what color your sweater was on your first date; he wasn’t there for fashion tips, and you shouldn’t have been either. Also, while the male hippocampus occupies a smaller percentage of the male brain than the female hippocampus does of the female brain, this is because the male brain is larger overall; the hippocampus is roughly equal in size in both sexes (NB I don’t necessarily have the science to back this one up, but it fits with the smarmy tone of the original article).
Don’t expect him to get hints:
Let’s face it: when you and your other female friends were eight, and made up all kinds of codes and secret languages with each other, he and his buddies were busy yearning to be grown up men, and to do great things. Isn’t it time you grew up and started speaking directly, instead of beating around the bush?
Don’t take conversational lulls personally:
Fact is, guys just don’t need all the extra verbal baggage women do to convey an idea or emotion; they have a far greater precision of language and sense of conciseness than women do.
Appreciate his upbeat nature:
The male brain naturally produces over 50% more serotonin than the female brain. Thus, you should understand that he isn’t going to appreciate your constant downbeat attitude. Buck up and at least put on a happy face when the two of you are together.
Remember, his brain is his largest sex organ:
The preoptic portion of the hypothalamus is twice as large in men as it is in women, and this area of the brain governs mating behavior. So, remember, it’s not that you’re frigid, it’s just normal brain behavior.
And, the Female brain:
Pay attention to the little things:
Women are far more obsessive over details, and tend to read meaning into nearly any gesture or comment, whether it’s there or not. So be sure to try to stay engaged in the conversation, and don’t sweat it if she freaks when you start talking sports, since you know you didn’t mean anything hurtful by it.
Keeping up with her memory:
It’s a scientific fact: women remember everything. So, be ready, when she gets upset that you couldn’t remember if it rained on your first date ten years ago, to remind her that you weren’t going on the date to observe the weather. Not only will this impress her with your focus on her, but will score you points for thoughtfulness as well.
Her timidity vs. your take-charge nature:
Women tend to lack the drive for domination that men possess. Their orbitofrontal cortex, which acts as a regulator on the amygdala, an ancient part of the brain concerned with survival and defense, is heavily overdeveloped. They cannot properly defend themselves. While it is important to remain civilized at a party when you’re insulted, remember too that she’ll try to run away from the situation instead of confronting the jerk and standing up for yourself.
Women are strongly verbal:
Let’s face it, women do have a strong verbal ability. While she’ll never really get the hang of the stick shift in your old Porsche, and she won’t be able to understand the equations you’re using to design that new bridge downtown, she does do a lot more “word processing” than you do. Remember to buy her a nice card from time to time, and if you think of it, ask a female friend for some advice on which one, since you’ve got that big presentation with the board tomorrow.
Be her serotonin:
The female brain produces far less serotonin than the male brain, less than half as much. So, be patient with her and do your best to keep her involved in your activities together. She’ll never be as upbeat and positive as you are, so encourage her: take her to the park on sunny days, fly a kite together, or go see a funny movie (no, not Animal House, something harmlessly funny) together.
