Have you noticed the many differences between men and women? That is to say, there are less obvious differences. They do not examine things in the same manner. There can be valid reasons for this. Their brains may work differently. Here are some things to consider about male and female thinking.

A man and woman can look at the same thing. One can be happy. The other might be indifferent. A shiny new Husqvarna chainsaw may be exciting to a male. A female may just see another opportunity for injury.

Women may be taken with new round dining room sets. They may picture the possibility of beautifying their house. A man may look at the set and see a place to eat. This does not mean that one person is right and the other is wrong. They just see them from a different point of view.

Some of the differences may have their roots deep in the past. Our ancient ancestor walked a very different planet than today’s people. Males and females had completely separate roles.

The male was the hunter. He was bigger and stronger than the female. He was better equipped for hunting and protection from danger.

The female was smaller and bore the children. She had the role of nurturer. She had to do many things at one time. The male was primarily focused on one thing at a time.

Because of these different roles, people developed and evolved. Male hunting and protecting skills became sharper and more sophisticated. The female roles of caregiver also greatly improved.

This might explain some of the thinking differences between men and women. When a man sees something he wants, he is looking at the item and not the color. He likes colors. They are not as important to him as they are to women.

Women are more interested in color and design. For thousands of years, they have to be aware of everything around them. They do not have the luxury of tunnel vision that males have. They may have to pick berries and watch over children at the same time. If you get the wrong color fruit or plant, it could be a fatal error.

Summary

Differences between women and men may be the result of evolutionary development. Not much can be done about that. However, knowing these differences may lead to better understanding. A man and a woman may shop for a new bed. She may want to know what color he likes. He may not care about color. If he is aware of the differences, he may reconsider. It could be the difference between a dark full size loft bed, and a colorful king size bed.
