[what's up]

Behaviorally, Men Learn by Doing.

Then, might as well do away with all classroom teaching for men, as well as ALL reading material, all church sermons, etc.

I have no problem acknowledging that men learn thru practical lessons, but a little written material never hurt.

Why do you think the book industry is a multi-billion dollar enterprise? It ain't just the women reading. And I do believe a little behaviorial change occurs along the way.

Example: Porn helps to cause degenerate behavior; I think positive printed material helps to build good behavior.

No, you missed what I said.

Surely you have already read about how the "testosterone wash" undergone by the brains of Male Fetuses in the twelfth to fourteenth week of gestation tends to divide the Cognitive and Intuitive Centers of the Male Brain to a greater degree than that of Females.

The result being that Males are more naturally proficient in Mathematical function (and indeed, Logocentric function in general), but are less proficient in multi-tasking, empathy, socialization, and cross-hemispheric incorporation of inputs overall.

Thus, as I said, rationally-digested inputs (reading, classrooms, etc) are how Men learn FACTS. And a good thing, too, for Men and the whole Human Race; Men are naturally superior Facticians (and, conversely, naturally inferior Empaths).

However -- this simply does not largely apply to Men's learning of behaviors.

If it is true that the Cognitive and Intuitive Centers of a Female's brain are more closely joined in operation than in the Male, then it's no surprise that "self-help books" can be of some benefit to the Female -- due to greater co-operation of the Cognitive and Intuitive Centers.

But by the same token, it it is true that that the Cognitive and Intuitive Centers of a Male's brain are less closely joined in operation than in the Female, then it's no surprise that "self-help books" will be of markedly less benefit to the Male -- due to lesser co-operation of the Cognitive and Intuitive Centers.

It's just how we are. We repond diferently, to different Inputs.

Well, since you brought it up -- Porn is an unfortunately graphic and blatant illustration of what I am saying.

• Female preference in pornography: Written Materials, "Romance Novels", a co-operative Behavioral exercise between the Cognitive (reading) and the Intuitive (imaginative) Centers.
• Male preference in pornography: Visual Materials, "Girlie Pictures", Direct stimulation of the Intuitive (imaginative) Centers with little desire for interplay with the Cognitive Centers. Still a vicarious Behavioral desire to "learn by doing", albeit perverted -- not "learn by reading".

• FACTS, Men learn by Reading, sure.
• BEHAVIORS, Men Learn by Doing (or else, I should have said all along, by also the Vicarious "Doing" of Following a Male Example).

If you want a Male to learn a Fact, then sure -- give him a Book (Men are natural Facticians, given a good book).

If you want a Male to learn a Behavior, then reward his Good Behaviors ("learn by doing"), punish the Bad, and provide him with good Male Examples ("learn by doing", vicarious).

Books, Seminars, TV, Movies, Magazines.... excepting the most Directly-Visual and Non-Cognitive (such as Porn), all largely irrelevant to the cultivation of Male Behavior.
