What’s next, the LGBT brain?
I agree — a fascinating subject — that is the differences between the two brains. It is addressed by Dennis Prager on radio quite often.
I try to talk to female friends about it and they have trouble gettin’ it. So I tell them — talk to a male for 10 mninutes on a certain subject and you will probably stay on topic — talk to a female on a certain subject and you cover a myriad of subjects and feelings. Am not saying good/bad just interesting. Try that little test some time.
To quote the Great Redneck, Jeff Foxworthy:
Men are Simple .. they want a drink in their hand, and want to see something Naked..
It’s as simple as that.
It takes 135 pages to explain how the male brain works? I bet that most men could do it in less than one. Maybe three words would suffice: wine, women, football.
I’m thinking about buying this for my Kindle. There is a “Female Brain” book by her as well. I harbor no promise of understanding Mrs. Liberty (the most beautiful woman in the world) if I buy them. I consider every day I get by without being hit with a skillet a blessing from God. (Pinging Parsy because of the obscure skillet reference)
I have time these days for sedentary pursuits.
You forgot “naked.”
There was some comedian who said raising boys was like raising dogs. All you have to do is put them in the backyard and they will raise themselves. There’s a little truth to that.
>You forgot “naked.”
Naked wine?
One thing I remember from Dennis Prager discussions is that Women think as they talk — almost even using talking as a way to work out their positions on “things” — Men think and then talk. Really — just observe, it is true most of the time.
Women want to talk it out, men want to fix it.
No, you fool! Naked footballs. Geesh....
The ability to remain on topic is an entirely different matter...
>No, you fool! Naked footballs. Geesh....
Oh, my bad.
Great book - Men are like Waffles and Women are like Spaghetti.
Men compartmentalize. They deal with one box at a time. Like Waffles. When they are done they put that box down and move to the next box. Some boxes are empty. So when a man is sitting there and the woman asks what are you thinking about and he says “nothing” he truly means nothing. His box is empty and right now he just is.
Women are like spaghetti. Their stories all intertwine and have relations to one another. You have to follow the one thread of a womens story like a single noodle. It will touch upon many other things, people, emotions etc.
A man comes home and his wife asks him How was your day. He can quickly say “okay” and this is sufficent.
The woman comes home and her husband asks “How was your day?” The woman will proceed to tell the man that Her collegue who she does not like so much came in to her office to tell her to do this one project and she really doesnt have time as she has the other poject she has been working on and she had to pick up the dry cleaning tonight as they have that party at the Jonses tomorrow night which is really important because Mr. Jones is the headmaster at the private school their little Johnny wants to go to and they really want him to get in to that school so that they dont have to move because the houses here are less expensive than the other neighborhood they were considering which would make it easier to put money away for retirement and would mean she wouldnt have to work as long so she wouldnt have to deal with that collegue she didnt like and and and... and the husband is stuck back with the who is the woman she dosent like at work...
My mom describes it like this:
Men’s brains are waffles, everything has its own little compartment, and is unaffected by the other compartments.
Women’s brains are spaghetti, every strand touches every other strand, and if you pull on one you affect the rest.
Someday I’m going to learn to read the whole thread before responding :p
Sorry - i need a couple of more sentences re: serially and parallel. Example?
