10 things women should know about men's brains | Having a tough time understanding what's going on in your man's mind? Things might just
get easier for you, as experts have revealed ten things you should know about
a man's brain. A man's brain varies tremendously over his lifetime. From his wandering
eye to his desire to mate for life, there are some things every woman need to
know about a man. According to Live Science, here's are the things you need to
know about guys' minds. 10. More emotional While females are generally considered
the more emotional, infant boys are more emotionally reactive and expressive than
infant girls, researchers have found. Adult men have slightly stronger emotional
reactions, too-but only before they are aware of their feelings, found a 2008
study published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. 9. More vulnerable
to loneliness While loneliness can take a toll on everyone's health and brain,
older men seem particularly vulnerable, said Louann Brizendine, of the University
of California , San Francisco , and author of 'The Male Brain.' Men tend to reach
out less than women, which exacerbates loneliness and the toll it takes on their
brains' social circuits, she said. 8. Focused on solutions While many studies
suggest that women are more empathetic than men, Brizendine stressed this is not
entirely true. The empathy system of the male brain does respond when someone
is stressed or expressing a problem. But the "fix-it" region quickly takes over.
7. Hard-wired to check out women While often linked to aggression and hostility,
testosterone is also the hormone of the libido. And guys have six times the amount
surging through their veins as women, said Pranjal Mehta, of the Columbia University
in New York . Mehta and colleagues found that testosterone impairs the impulse-control
region of the brain. While it has yet to be studied, this may explain why, as
Brizendine says, men ogle women as if on "auto-pilot." They often forget about
the woman once she is out of their visual field, said Brizendine. 6. Must defend
turf "Part of the male job, evolutionarily-speaking, is to defend turf," said
Brizendine. More research is needed in humans but in other male mammals, the "defend
my turf" brain area is larger than their female counterparts,' she said. While
women too have fits of possessiveness, men are much more likely to become violent
when faced with a threat to their love life or territory, she said. 5. Embraces
chain of command An unstable hierarchy can cause men considerable anxiety, said
Brizendine. But an established chain of command, such as that practiced by the
military and many work places, reduces testosterone and curbs male aggression,
she said. 4. Matures over time, really Pre-occupation with establishing pecking
order, which starts as early as age 6, motivates the "male dance, where they are
always putting each other down," added Brizendine. "It is better to be aggressive
in a verbal jab than to duke it out," she said. Psychological studies have shown
that one-upmanship holds less appeal for older men. Instead, they pay more attention
to relationships and bettering the community, said Brizendine. The change is likely
aided by the slow natural decline in testosterone as a man ages. 3. Primed for
fatherhood The male brain becomes especially primed for cooperation in the months
before becoming a father. Fathers-to-be go through hormone changes-prolactin goes
up, testosterone goes down-which likely encourage paternal behavior, found a 2000
study in Evolution and Human Behavior. 2. Daddy-play Daddy-specific ways of playing
with their kids-more rough-housing, more spontaneity, more teasing-can help kids
learn better, be more confidant, and prepare them for the real world, studies
have shown. Also, involved dads lessen risky kids' sexual behaviour. 1. Covets
wedding bells, too Women want to settle down, and men want to sow their wild oats
forever, the refrain usually goes. But this might be one of the largest misconceptions
stemming from the U.S. tendency of using undergrads as test subjects. Infidelities
are most likely to occur before men hit 30, found a study of Bolivian men published
in the Proceedings of the Royal Society in 2007. After that, men primarily focus
on providing for their families, the study found.
