the Brain Explained

Men and Women use their brains in vastly different ways.

Hippocampus (where memories are formed): Occupies a smaller percent of the male brain than the female brain. Here size matters. Women remember everything, from the small to the big.

Amygdala: Women use the left part that creates emotional reactions to events and use it to put their memories in order by emotional strength. The right hemisphere of the brain remembers the finer details. Men use the right part to put their memories in order and therefore the right hemisphere is associated with the central action of an event.
*So men next time a women tells you of a memory it’s more likely to be right so listen to her and do not doubt her. So women do not get mad if your guy can’t remember the finer details, if he at least remembers the event be happy with that, for that is how their brain works.*

Orbitofrontal Cortex (involved in regulating emotions): Women have a larger percent ratio to the amygdala than male brains do. Women are better at responding calmly to rudeness or aggression. *So men remember next time you feel like punching someone, keep a women’s approach to be calm. But there are times when this is also reversed and sometimes women can be more aggressive than males.*

Limbic Cortex (involved in emotional responses): Again in males it is smaller than the females. That is why men are not god at reading subtle emotional cues. It is thicker in women so they see shades of meaning in small gestures and the thoughtfulness of behind the gesture. *That is also why males appear to be more shy and too scared to make the first move, so women be bold and tell them flat out how you feel. I’ll be doing that to my crush next time I see him. So men also remember that small gestures count and women are watching your every move.*

Frontal and Temporal Lobes (language processing): They are thinner in males than females. Women excel in being able to come up with appropriate words, men not so much. Women are wired to be more language centric than men’s. *I think that is funny since I am not like that, yes I can write and my poetry is decent, but when it comes to talking I’m not good at expressing myself. So I’ve know more cases that it was reversed.*

Serotonin (the chemical that influences mood): Males produce more than females. That is why they are unlikely to tear up, he has healthy dose of it. Since women produce less of that happy chemical they are more prone to depression. *So men remember next time if she’s down, even though it might not be a big deal to you it is to her, know that she has less serotonin than you, help make her feel good and express some happiness to her.*

Hypothalamus – the preoptic area, in charge of mating behavior: In men this is twice as large and has twice as many cells as women have. That is why they have a higher sex drive than women. *In the rare cases this is also reversed too. I have meet one woman who has the mind set that she is always ready to go. More often I end up having a bigger sex drive then my partner.*

*Even in women they use their brain differently. Even in men they use their brain differently. And that is because we are not simple creatures. We are complicated humans. But at least it keeps us interesting.*
