10 Things Every Woman Should Know About a Man's Brain

Most popular notions about the male brain are based on studies of men ages 18 to 22 - undergrads subjecting themselves to experiments for beer money or course credit. But a man's brain varies tremendously over his life span, quickly contradicting the image of the single-minded sex addict that circulates in mainstream consciousness.

From his wandering eye to his desire to mate for life, here's what you need to know about guys' minds.

5. Embraces chain of command

An unstable hierarchy can cause men considerable anxiety, Brizendine said. But an established chain of command, such as that practiced by the military and many work places, reduces testosterone and curbs male aggression, she said.

6. Must defend turf

“Part of the male job, evolutionarily-speaking, is to defend turf,” Brizendine said. More research is needed in humans but in other male mammals, the “defend my turf” brain area is larger than their female counterparts,’ she said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t know about the defending part, but they sure like to mark their turf. If there is a perfectly clean house, I will guarantee you a male will go through it leaving a dirty pair of socks on the floor of one room, a half empty drink glass leaving a mark on the table in another, wallet in one room, keys in another room, dirty clothes hanging over the tub, dirty dishes in multiple rooms, and that ever present sign of male occupation - AN EMPTY TOLIET PAPER ROLL!

What goes through the mind when "Wanna go for a drink?"

[tioga]

LOL

[b4its2late]

Or "You need to go wee wee?"

[El Gran Salseron]

What hogwash this “study” is.

Don’t these people have better things to do with their time than to put out rubbish like this?

[b4its2late]

Or when meeting someone of the opposite sex?

LOL, those are pretty clever.
