I was listening to CNN Monday on my trusty XM radio so I don't have a link for this, but they're having a thing about the differences between Men and Women everyday around 4:30PM. I think it's in the video section online but I don't subscribe.

They had Dr Drew on discussing this test where they showed Men and Women neutral as well as different erotic pictures and monitored their brain's reaction.

What is relatively well known is that Men react to pictures a lot more, no surprise there, but what was interesting was that Women, despite saying that they got hot and aroused, exhibeted relatively no reaction in the brain.

I guess there's 3 steps to getting turned on by visuals and women only show 2 of them vs men all three, the last kinda being the brain saying "I want to do something about this arousal" It gives us the urge to want to have sex when we see photes vs women can just look at them and enjoy/admire them.

Even more interesting was when they showed gay photos. Dr Drew was saying that he expected a neutral response, which he physically had, but in his brain he had a hostile defensive response. Apparently most straight men get this reaction without even displaying a physical reaction.

What they didn't know was if homosexual men had this same reaction, but I found the whole thing interesting.

I heard once on a talk show that women get aroused looking at pictures of babys.. Baby kittens, dogs, Kids, it didn't matter, they got aroused with baby pictures... [shrug]

woman are certainly wired totally different than men
they are not visual like we are
but almost exclusively auditory
ie; the sound of a baby crying will make a new mother lactate, a sexy voice will make them swoon, the sound of fresh money will make them hot. (j/k)
this is because woman are entirely more social then men (for protection and survial) and are wired accordingly.
auditory ques such as speech provide woman with the info they need from their surroundings and this in turn helps them with survial. Thats why a smooth talking geek can hook up with a super model, and if he has money even the better. When it comes down to it womans first instinct is to find a mate who will be a good provider and not hurt her, whereas men look for some good ass. (an indicator a woman is healthy)
there are of course exceptions however woman who look for abuseive men and that of course is the individual womans feeling of inferiority, or the abuse she received as a child and so on. Woman do as a whole feel inferior to men but they sure as hell would never admit it and it is not a good idea to point it out literally or otherwise unless of course this is what she likes.

My guess is you never had a serious relationship (with a woman).

I can assure you that in the woman's mind it is very clear which one is the weaker sex, and it isn't them :smile:

Arn, that is the most typical, stereotyped response on women written by a man that I've ever seen. I wont piss in your face over this but how does your wife appreciate your go on her gender? Man, there is no way known that I could agree with your views.

But diversity is a plus in this world so no stress... :lol:

Women differ from Men by a whole choromosome, while we only differ from Chimps by a few hundred DNA sequences. Not sure how significant that is, but they mentioned that as well.

Another intersting thing was why women like to snuggle. There is some kind of snuggling drug released into the blood that helps the woman bond, but men's testosterone pretty much mutes it which is why women get so attached with physical contact but men can move on and it doesn't phase them.

I've gotta ask, how old are you? Your response above isn't very realistic. You're just with your wife for some tail?

Smooth talking geek? Do those exist? Isn't that an oxymoron?

If it's your 860, sure. If it's my 860, it'd be cool, but I'd have to put it at the bottom of the list. Or, at least somewhere after a D100.

I have to admit being single has certain advantages. Sex on a regular basis not being one of them but I digress.

Just charge it. Do you handle the bills? She'll never know. Just tell her that she needs glasses when she notices the new monitor.

Dude, for me- your brother, can you ask Hope for $900 for beer and just let us know her reaction? You can tell her it was a forum experiment afterwards. Blame it all on me. I'm family, she'll forgive me.
