June 21st, 2010 Differences Between Women and Men
Have you noticed the many differences between men and women? That is to say, there are less obvious differences. They do not examine things in the same manner. There can be valid reasons for this. Their brains may work differently. Here are some things to consider about male and female thinking.
Men and women can see identical objects. It can make one feel good. The other may be indifferent to it. The sight of a new Husqvarna chainsaw may excite many males. A woman may see it and hope that he does not hurt himself
Round dining room sets may interest many females. They will see an opportunity to improve and beautify their lives. A man might simply see somewhere to eat. This make one person wrong and the other right. They are simply different.
Some of the differences may have their roots deep in the past. Our ancient ancestor walked a very different planet than today’s people. Males and females had completely separate roles.
Man was larger and stronger than his female counterpart. He needed size and strength for hunting. This also served him well in his role of protector.
Woman was not as big or strong as man. She was responsible for the future. She took care of and bore the children. Her role was varied. She had many things to do. Man concentrated on one task at a time.
Males and females evolved differently. They developed better skills to go along with their duties. Men became better hunters. Women became adept at caring for children and many other things.
This might explain some of the thinking differences between men and women. When a man sees something he wants, he is looking at the item and not the color. He likes colors. They are not as important to him as they are to women.
Women developed a keen sense of their surroundings. They had to be aware of their entire area. Males focused solely on tracking animals for meat. The woman may have had to select plants and fruits to supplement their diet. She also watched the children. Color was very important to her. The wrong color plants meant death.
Final thoughts
Differences between women and men may be the result of evolutionary development. Not much can be done about that. However, knowing these differences may lead to better understanding. A man and a woman may shop for a new bed. She may want to know what color he likes. He may not care about color. If he is aware of the differences, he may reconsider. It could be the difference between a dark full size loft bed, and a colorful king size bed.
