Key Functional Differences Between Man and Woman

Functional Peculiarities of Genders

The division of functions between the Creators of both brain hemispheres is organized according to a specific scheme.

The Creators of the left hemisphere provide more complex, subtle, and profound functions. This includes solving complex problems related to verbal-logical activity and abstract-logical thinking, dealing with novelty in situations, handling increased difficulty of work performed, intense psychological stress, and more. They prefer to process received information sequentially, step by step, forming a holistic understanding of what is happening in our FD (Focal Dynamics): for example, methodical data, manipulations with numbers and speech, routine actions. This side dominates more in men than in women.

The Creators of the right hemisphere, however, perform simpler functions, though no less vital for life. They establish connections with the brain's "service" systems, provide orientation in Space-Time, facilitate objective thinking, simple or stereotypical abstract activity, and automated speech. They prefer to process all visual, taste, olfactory, tactile, and other information at once. For example, bursts of emotion from listening to favorite music can be perceived as an entirely new experience each time. This side dominates more in its activity in women.

The distribution of functions between both hemispheres is based on the principle of saving energy resources, necessary for them to maintain the work of all sorts of simultaneously active cortical areas, nuclei, and centers that ensure the integral functioning of our brain. And since the functions of the Creators of the left hemisphere are more complex and analytical, they implement and guide everything that requires more powerful energy expenditures and exceeds the activation and integrative capabilities of their brain neighbors.

The only stable functional difference is that the Creators of the right hemisphere are responsible for the functionality of the left half of the body, and conversely, the left for the functionality of the right half, as nerve pathways in the brain cross over.

Increased activity of interhemispheric connections in the cerebral cortex of women contributes to strengthening and accelerating the integration processes of analytical and intuitive Information, while the increased modularity of the cerebral cortex and hemispheres of men contributes to a more effective and efficient implementation of various motor functions. All these peculiarities and differences in the organization of connections between the Creators of the cortex partially determine that women orient themselves more easily and willingly in the features of forming social and interpersonal relationships, better remember faces and subtle details of the objects and phenomena they study. The brains of men, however, are more adapted to performing work that requires spatial thinking, speed, increased coordination, clarity, and precision of actions.

For example, when moving in space, women and men use different brain areas: the former rely more on the sequence of certain signs or specific pointers appearing in it, while men will prefer to use a map or rely on some logical inferences.

Let's examine the key differences between men and women through vivid metaphors and contrasting statements by family psychologist and humorist Satya Das:

Female and Male Traits

Man and Woman.
Motorcycle and Sidecar.
Locomotive and Coal Car.
Tightrope walker – Safety Net.
Object of courtship and subject.
A woman is a form of life that achieves results with the help of others. A man is one who achieves results himself, but for someone else.
A woman almost always speaks with a subtext. A man is straightforward and does not understand subtexts.
A woman loves with her ears, a man with his eyes.
A man should give, taking nothing in return. A woman should rejoice in what she has.
If a woman decides what to do, then a man decides how to do it.
The norm for a woman is 21,000, and for a man - 3,000 words a day.
A man's dignity is single-tasking. A woman's dignity is multi-channel and multi-stage.
For men, the main thing is to filter texts, for women it's to discuss.
A woman is always fire, a man is always oil. For a man not to melt, distance is needed.
A woman should see before marriage if he will change for her. A man should understand before marriage if he is ready to tolerate her.
A woman allows herself to be loved and happy. A man loves.
A man's achievement is that he doesn't change anything that works. For a woman... it's that she changes even what works.
To test a woman is to listen to what she says. To test a man is to see what he does.
Wife's needs: security, gratitude, and intimacy. Husband's needs: to be free, needed, and himself.

Any complete break in sex hardens a man, but upsets a woman.
For a woman, sex is maximum openness. For a man, love is not essential for sex.
A man shares his wife's negative emotions, and a wife shares her husband's failures.
Men have no great desires – he is ascetic. Among a woman's desires, she also has "male" ones.
A man should always cool a woman down. An active woman is usually stressed.
A woman cannot set a goal for herself and achieve it independently. A woman can achieve everything through her man. A woman has no goals of her own. She can think of something, but this goal must be embodied by someone else. For a man, simply achieving a goal is not interesting: someone needs to appreciate it, i.e., it's for someone.
A man works in society and rests at home. A woman works at home and rests in society.
Failure and suffering harden a man, but destroy a woman.
She needs constant signs of attention. Men, however, live by the following principle: "I told you I loved you at the wedding..."
The more Yin, the more Yang.
The main mistakes are the lack of guilt in a man and low self-esteem in a woman (raised by others).

Typical for a Woman

A woman is 10 times more emotional than a man.
A woman's qualities are inherent – the main thing is not to lose them during life (mainly beauty and femininity).
Women are very timid creatures, like a deer and an ostrich.
Responsibility makes women nervous and stressed.
The main thing for a woman is to raise her self-esteem. It's hard for a woman to calm down on her own, and she needs to be calmed.
Female self-esteem does not exist – she cannot evaluate herself.
A woman can only love a man if she first loves herself: as equivalent, equally valuable, wonderful, chosen, beloved.
Women think one thing, suspect a third, and say a fourth.
Women are jealous – they want to be the destined one (sense of ownership).
A woman wants to be the center – this is a normal state – to become the center of her universe. A woman should create a "dog wedding" around herself – excitement.
Due to lack of attention, a woman starts asking for things she doesn't even need.
A woman should experience negative emotions under the protection of a man.
Even if you don't upset a woman, she will upset herself. Usually, only in 10% of cases is a man to blame for a woman's worries, which stem from past lives, a first marriage, astrology, or other cycles.
Sometimes, the harder a man tries, the more negative emotions a woman has, and this can be taken as a compliment.
For a woman, giving advice is an expression of love. As in, if they advise you, it means they love you, but a man should not be given advice unless he asks.
A woman provokes a man if she thinks he doesn't love her.
To love is a verb – it's an action.
A woman should not interfere when men are talking to each other.
A woman's nature strives for patronage and concentration on one man. Because of this, she often needs to defocus, scatter her attachments, so that she doesn't focus only on one person.
A woman should say everything, but not all at once.
"I'm not mad at you" is usually said by very offended women who value the relationship.
After 2-3 weeks of being alone, a woman seeks protection.
A woman next to a man makes the man.

Typical for a Man

A man primarily thinks about himself.
A man's value lies in improvisation.
In modern society, men don't cry to each other, as it's a matter of strength.
A man's memory refreshes.
A man's nature is to take everything given to him without feeling obligated.
A man only has what he gives away.
Calmness is a male quality.
A man grows with stronger and equal peers.
A man is not one who avoids difficult situations, but one who gets out of them.
If a man is not listened to, he thinks he is not respected.
Roles in the family: Strong (lion), Responsible, Goal-oriented, Weak (lamb – cute, fluffy, shorn by everyone).
A wife will never replace friends and mentors.
A man does not argue with a woman, he listens.
A man must prove everything to a woman with facts.
Wife's admirers should not become suitors for the husband.
A man must receive things he has earned, otherwise he will become irresponsible.
A man usually reflects on something only if he steps out of his comfort zone.
A wife is not a true friend.
A man has no intuition. A man can analyze very quickly. Intuition is when nothing is thrown into your head.
What men call intuition is actually just extensive life experience.
When there's no reason, there are no emotions. A man has a sharper mind.
A man must be stronger for a woman to follow him.
If a man hasn't "won over" a woman from someone else, he won't value her in the future.
Being successful is very difficult for a man if he is on his own, without a social circle of acquaintances, friends, or relationships.
A man's strength comes from the regular voluntary practice of asceticism. For example, "Darling, I don't need sex... I'm here for our long-term union."
When building relationships, one must consider how the woman will feel after the end. A man's asceticism is to consider how the woman will come out of this situation.
To understand a woman, you need to listen to her. If you hear a good thought for a woman from a woman – write it down.
Everything that comes out of a man – that is who he is.
Politicians often weigh their words because politicians are usually men.
When listening to a woman, a man shouldn't confuse roles: that of the problem-solver and that of the psychologist.
A man cannot endure forced restrictions if he hasn't practiced voluntary asceticism.
For a man, will and reason are trained through regular voluntary asceticism. Asceticism is the voluntary renunciation of what we have for what we don't yet have. Pleasures should be slightly less than possible. Difficulties slightly increased.
A sailor should not sail if he has a family.

Husband's Family Tasks

Ability to restore peace in the family. A man should create a repetitive atmosphere for a woman for a decade. This doesn't mean it will necessarily be so.

A man should create a plan that calms the woman. She wakes up and should know what she will do tomorrow. To feel some certainty (An unstable living being rejoices in stability).

Ability to give guidance to a woman – she receives a colossal burst of energy like a blessing, because women want to shed responsibility due to their complete irresponsibility.

Ability to financially provide for the family. A woman's self-provision, however, breaks her down, because earning money is stress – it's strong energy. For example, "lost money," "other people's money," "spending money," "paying for vegetables," "saving money."

A man should not tell everything in the family. For example, it's better for a woman not to know how much money the family has saved.

A man needs to learn the female language. Otherwise, he'll go crazy. He should consider how this life form even uses these words. How a woman (figuratively) speaks. For example, she says whatever comes to her mind. A woman first talks nonsense, then corrects herself... A woman starts talking and in the process understands what she wanted. A woman is built so that she needs to constantly experience negative emotions next to her destined one. Because she strives to express negative emotions without consequences.

A female tantrum – when she's sick of words from emotional diarrhea. During a female tantrum, a man should (even if he's not involved) understand that it's simply time. He can make a sad, guilty face. The language can be silent…

Wife's Family Tasks

Try to be perfect, not repeating past mistakes. Be able to inspire in a difficult moment. To be needed, cherished, close, appreciated. Indifference should not be shown to a man.

Her highest purpose is for the man to progress. Always praise him for real achievements, never tolerate unworthy behavior. Tolerate shortcomings (incorrigible).

A woman must learn to build relationships in the family (there is an option to rebuild). Be able to talk about everything. This way she gets rid of foolishness. But she will only do this in the circle of a person who understands her and understands what is happening. The man must understand that she is not foolish.

A woman is obliged to satisfy two main needs of her husband – to be free and needed. For example, tell him "Darling, could you buy potatoes?" instead of "Buy potatoes." A woman should learn to let herself be cared for (let him...) and leave the last words to the man. If a man has not asked you, you don't need to explain anything to him, because he doesn't tolerate advice. To give a man advice, ask him for advice. Don't let the relationship reach the female crisis of "I'll do it myself."

Possible Roles in the Family

It's important for both woman and man to achieve independence before marriage.

Maidservant – Teacher (grace). For a woman to be number two is not bad. But how!

Friend – Senior Friend (grace + passion). If a man has a pure mind, a woman will add emotions. If a husband has pure emotions, she will add reason. That's why she is needed.

Sister – Brother (passion). A human is a spiritual being. He only has what he gives. If you want to be successful, use the advice you want to give to others.

Mother – Son (ignorance). A woman's independence is the main cause of divorce. Excessive service to someone a woman wants to excessively bind.

Mistress – Slave (ignorance squared). If you cannot give love, it's time for you to start receiving it. Women must not be offended. It's like throwing a bomb into a nuclear reactor.

Thief – Victim (ignorance cubed). Always excessive requests due to a man's distrust and fear of being alone. For a man, family is not a place for pleasures, but for fulfilling duty, so as not to degrade into laziness.

Killer – Corpse (ignorance in XXL). "Up there, they don't understand jokes." Prior planning prevents "4P" problems. Problems? – then you need to increase distance. If a man doesn't fit, don't take him…
