Large parts of the cortex — the brain's outer layer that does a big part of recognizing and using subtle language cues — are thinner in men than they are in women.

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."

The more mature man doesn’t fall for those ads.

He knows he really can’t get the bikini gals and they would want nothing to do with him. that ain’t fun when it ain’t real.

Here’s my favorite advertising phenomenon. It seems that in any depiction of a man and a woman, the woman has it all together, and the man is an incompetent, clumsy, blubbering fool. The woman knows about the product and why it’s so obviously indespensible to living a civilized life, and the man is a clueless moron who may just start chewing a leather shoe for entertainment value at any moment.

My 13 y/o son recognizes this too. He’s becoming cynical about TV advertising. This is a good thing.
