His Brain, Her Brain - What a difference!

Recent technology reveals fascinating ways men & women's brains are different.

Men: Blood flow to one side of the brain at a time. (So they do 1 thing at a time)
Women: 40% more connective tissue between both sides of the brain (so they do many things at
once)

How might this present a problem between them?

Scenario: Man is watching game on TV
Woman comes in - says "don't forget - we're going to the Smiths' on Friday."
Man grunts, or maybe even says "ok"
Friday: Woman: "Remember, we're going to the Smiths tonight."
Man: No one told me!
Argument then ensues about who is right. ("Did too!" "Did not!" "You never listen!" This can go on and on)

Scenario 2: Man and woman in vehicle discussing issue
Man drives right by exit to their home
Woman - "Are you stupid? That's our exit where we've gotten off for 10 years!"
Man - "Well, if you would shut up and let me drive, I'd get off there!"

All because man is using only one side of his brain at a time and woman is expecting him to use his brain just like she uses hers.

Men: Work in most efficient, logical manner focused in straight line to accomplish task
Women: Have 50% more memory capacity, work with more details and talk in circular fashion
about several related things at same time.

Men: Want to avoid stressful situations & conversations as this causes them more stress.
Women: Want to talk and talk about stressful things so they can feel better.

See any potential problems with this? I see it all the time.

There's much more that can be discussed about this subject; however, a good starting point is understanding. Then we can begin to work on positive things which help, such as:

Tip for women: Instead of always nagging, complaining and criticizing, a woman should say what's on her mind, discuss the possibility of a solution and then move on.

Tip for men: Instead of getting angry and defensive, men need to practice not taking a woman's comments and fears personally. He needs to just let her talk, realioze her way of dealing with her fears is to talk about them.

After each person has given the other what they need, then each can ask for what he/she needs.
