Men And Women Have Very Different Brain Chemistry

Ladies, you’re probably sick of hearing that men and women don’t think alike, but it’s true. According to Match.com, our brain chemistry is very different. Here are some examples:

First, guys don’t have as good a memory as women. That’s becauseour hippocampus is smaller than yours. That’s the part of the brain where initial memories are formed. So, if you’re on a first date and he can’t remember where you work, even though you told him all about it when you met, don’t take it personally.
Another way the male mind differs – we’re not so good at picking up on subtle cues. If you like him, say so. Men aren’t as skilled at reading emotions. Men have fewer neurons in areas of the temporal lobe – the area that process language, and areas of the limbic cortex that process emotions. So you may have to tell him how you’re feeling, like, “I’m hurt that you forgot I don’t like sushi.”
Don’t freak out when there’s a moment of silence. Men just aren’t as verbal as women. Men have less gray matter in areas of the brains that recognize language cues and process language. That’s why women are better able to come up with words appropriate to the situation than men. So, don’t expect him to chat like one of your girlfriends, and don’t assume he’s not interested in you if he occasionally stops talking.
Here’s where men have an advantage though. We’re more upbeat by nature and less likely to get depressed. That’s because men produce 52 percent more of the feel-good hormone serotonin than women.
