Men Women and Brains

Post Reply New Topic

things like this HAVE to be black and white for two reasons:
1) its more useful to give 100% of people something they can relate to in part
2) i would have had to have written a novel to cover every variation

maybe everybody on this forum is here to find something they can disagree with, which is also fine lol. but i will probably not try so hard to be interesting in future.

edit: just to piss you off further, there are four personalities. introvert and extrovert. these are divided into emotional and unemotional. the emotional introvert always feels like they are solitary and can't be put in a box. so there's your box to be put into.

I don't think people are here to find something they disagree on. But if an idea or theory is put out there, then it is likely that the idea will be challenged, discussed, debated.

If you continue to make similar posts, which I hope you will, you will probably find that a substantial amount of people will agree with your ideas at some point. It's nothing personal, just the way WP folk often are.

Well put. That sounds about right to me.

I've read that men have larger brains than women, on average. Then again, I've also read that Neanderthals had larger brains than Cro Magnons (although recent research has shown that most humans are descended in part from Neanderthals, so maybe Neanderthals don’t deserve their oafish reputation).

I think my brain would compare favourably to a vegatative chimpanzee

I dunno if I've met many typical women then, or maybe typical women put me off so bad that I drop them like bad habits.

What part of the brain causes someone to talk on the phone longer? I'd suspect that's the part of the women's brain that is all out of proportion

I heard that women are made of sugar and spice and all things nice, and I assume that goes for the brain as well.

Don't ask what men's brains are made of it's too horrible

Sounds like zombie-logic to me.

Knifey - I've heard its really a double-edged sword. While for many women the word 'focus' is completely alien to them, the problem that comes with it is that they can't filter anything out. Bonus - better social grace, can multitask like champs because its second nagure, downfall - a bit of chronic OCD (comparatively) in recompense, add hormonal chemistry that we should be eternally grateful that we never ended up with. That said though, when a guy has a fast track mind and is thinking constantly he's still thinking in serial mode, which can possibly feel similar in a way but its still not the same.

Probably beer brats and all kind of other tail-gating odds and ends.

According to this and everything else I've ever read on the subject I have a male-differentiated brain. I don't think all female aspies are that way though. I bet some of the more artsy types have female-differentiated brains.

Edit: actually I probably have a hybrid type brain. I have the thinking 10 things at once and multi-tasking bit down. But if I had to choose just one, my brain is more male-differentiated than female-differentiated.

When I'm stressed out I have the stereotypical male reaction. When someone I am very close to is stressed out I have a stereotypically female reaction of wanting to fix it for them.

?? I thought that was considered the stereotypical male response. IOW, "fixing" as opposed to empathizing with words (and whatever else).

Lol, yeah I saw that as well.

In the novels that I write, my protagonists are always women....being a dude myself, I'm sure glad nobody informed my brain it's supposed to think like a man! Which, I assure you, I can if need be. I've chased after purse snatchers before and run a burglar out of my apartment (fight); conversely people have told me I'm a fantastic listener.

Pardon me, but I guess I don't see the purpose of these generalized threads?

it is a scientific discovery? If only 15% of people on a drug experience explosive diarrhea do you think they shouldn't put it on the label because it doesn't apply to everybody? wtf is with you people, i just point out two research papers that have done significant scientific trials on something and you all go... "hmmm naaaaah i don't think so."

This would explain a lot. argh
