Understanding the male mind

A ball game on the tube sitting relaxed in a lazyboy at his beck and call with Beer and Pizza and the promise of sex after the game is basically what most women need to understand about men.

Just a joke ladies. Although many may not enjoy the humor, this scene to many men would be heavenly.

Men are not as complicated as women, men are much easier to please.

The male mind is different that is a scientific fact.

Consider recent findings. Researchers, using brain technology analyzed men and women and the way they process language. Subjects listened to a novel. When males listened, Just the left hemisphere of their brains was activated. The brains of female showed activity on the left and right hemispheres.

This may account for the strong language skills displayed by females. Girls as a whole outperform boys in the use of language and fine motor skills. Boys in general demonstrate superiority in math and science. These areas of the brain mature about four years earlier than in girls. Although men's vocal chords are longer and thicker, women on average speak 25,000 words per day, contrasted with a man's average 12,000. Men's qualities are positive, overt, and easier to define. There are physical differences of a male and female brain, some parts maturing sooner for each sex. Men and women think differently, because our brains are wired differently. Much is yet to be discovered about the human brain and the similarities and differences within the sexes. The brain, the chief administrative and emotional organ of life, is differently contructed in men and in women; it processes information in a different way, which in turn results in different perceptions, priorities and behaviour

The biggest behavioural difference between men and women is the natural, innate aggression of men. We do not teach our boys to be aggressive but try vainly to unteach it. Even researchers hostile to the acknowledgement of sex differences agree that this is a male feature, and one which cannot be explained nor untaught by social conditioning.

Some researchers believe brain variations between sexes are complementary. Most importantly is the beauty and wonder of complimenting and needing each other. We may not always enjoy one anothers differences but we can learn to appreciate them.

Men need women and women need men, not just for the continuation of the species. We compliment one another in our uniqueness, For one man and one woman become a whole person.

But wait, isn't that what the Bible teaches? That a man should leave his parents and cleave unto his wife and the two become one flesh? (mark 10:8)
