Forums - General - Mental differences in Men and Woman

Awhile ago I made a thread about the differences in the major skin color variants in the Human races each had their advantages and disadvantages, for instance Black skin is MUCH stronger than White skin, but White skin regenerates much more quickly and has a lower chance to scar.

People enjoyed that thread so I thought I give another human biology topic a go. So this time we going to look at the general differences between the brains of Men and Women, so without further ado here we go!

----------------


1.) The first and most immediate difference between the brain structures of Men and Women is that men have bigger brains than women. This however does not translate into overall intelligence; it only affects how each sex PROCESSES said information.

For instance women can access more information more quickly than a man, but a man can access a wider RANGE of information. All that means is that a woman will typically be able to tell you more about a specific subject than a man, but a man can relate and compare that subject to a wider range of related subjects. (A woman will tell you a lot about a frog, a man will tell you about the frog and how its different from a snake)

2.) Heavy Left Brain vs Balanced Brain: Men have larger left brains than they do right and do most of their mental processing in the left side of the brain, while the brain in a woman is completely balanced and processes information equally from side to side. This has a significant impact.

The left side of the Human Brain is where most of us do our problem-solving. Therefore men and woman solve problems completely differently. A man will attack a problem by formulating a plan and fixing the issue or solving the problem in the most efficient way. Where a woman will look at the same problem and attack it from an emotional point of view.

This means women are more apt to consider multiple different solutions to the problem and select the one that will have the most self advantages effect on those around her.

In other words, if a man is driving and drives passed a parked cop and sees another car coming from the opposite direction he may or may not flash his headlights as a warning; with the only deciding factors being, "Will the cop see me?" and if they are feeling lazy or not. While a woman will always consider flashing the headlights as a warning, but will check and see if the oncoming car is someone they personally dislike or not.

3.) Men have larger left brains than woman, but they also have significantly larger inferior-parietal lobule (IPL) This is the reason why men are typically better suited for mathematical situations than a woman. Outside of general math situations, this allows a man too much more easily picture environments in 3 dimensions and rotate that view in their minds at will. Women struggle significantly more in this regard. I

In the same vein, women have MUCH more access to the right side of her brain than a man. This is extremely advantages to a woman because the human senses are almost all processed in the right side of the brain. Because of this, women have slightly better eye sight than men and can hear more acutely and filter sound much more easily. This also means that women's sense of touch is far more potent than a mans, including pain and pleasure. This also explains why women excel in language based situations. This however is a double edged blade.  

Because of a heightened sensory system, women are much more likely to experience head aches on a regular basis and/or develop tumors.

 

4.) Which leads us to emotions. Keeping this simple, women have MUCH larger Deep Limbic Systems than men, particularly in the right side of the brain. This enables them to be more in touch with every kind of emotion and promotes an almost obsessive need to express said emotions.

So men, next time your woman asks you why you never talk to her about your feelings, you can reply that men naturally have a much smaller Deep Limbic System so you dont experience the same level of emotion nor feel the need to express them. Tread carefully though, because woman actually have more crime oriented minds because of this. But thats your call!

5.) Disorders. Because of the difference in brain activity, men are having have a MUCH MUCH higher chance to succumb to some sort of mental disorder than a woman. Especially in regards to Dsylexia, ADHD, and Alzeimers. Another interesting note is that almost all Savants in the world are men.

Woman on the other hand have a significantly higher chance to fall into extreme bouts of Depression, Anxiety, and Panic.

Is the left brain use thing because more men ( not sure if still the case) than women are athletic, so they use their Left hand a lot? I just heard that people who use their left hand use more of their left side of their brain. Probably totally wrong though.


I heard the exact opposite. Left hand/right brain, right hand/left brain



Oh this is interresting... keep it up

Whether the theory premise is true or not I don't know, but I think it is true that in terms of motor functions below the neck, the left hand side of the body is controlled by the right hand side of the brain and vice versa.

Dark skinned men are lucky. They have bigger "dk"



Yay!!!

Interesting thought; I'm left handed, and most of my attributes regarding thinking seem to match more to the women's ones than the men's ones

I'd say men, definitely. Though this is not an opinion. This is a fact. (My opinion)

Quite an interesting read, please do more :)
