Have fun with the below facts...
1. Women are more complex than men. This is based on
research printed in Los Angeles Times. The reason? Men have both an X and a Y
chromosome – but genetic instructions are only found on the X chromosome.
Therefore, women receive twice the amount of genetic instructions as men do –
and that makes them more complex than men.
2. Women have a more sophisticated sense of humour than
men. This is based on research by Stanford University. When researchers
presented both sexes with cartoons (while conducting an MRI on their brain)
they found men’s brains were less active than women’s. They also started
laughing before women as they expected the cartoons to be funny. In contrast,
the women evaluated the cartoons before deciding whether to laugh or not.
3. Men are faster than women. However, research cited in
Nature confirms that the time difference between men’s and women’s speed in a
100-meter race has been decreasing over time.
4. Women spend a larger percentage of their life looking
in mirrors than men (2 years compared to 6 months). The number of times they
look in a mirror is approximately the same. However, women gaze for longer
periods of time than men.
5. Women use about 3.5 times as many words in a day as
men do (7,000 compared to 2,500).
6. Women drivers pollute the environment less than men.
That’s because they stop to ask for directions whereas men burn up lots of
extra miles on gas - whilst they’re proving “they can find it on their own.”
7. Neuroscientists at University College London have
shown that women are more empathic than men. They scanned women’s brains while
they watched other women receiving electric shocks. The subjects’ brains showed
significant activity in the emotional and sensory areas. When the experiment was repeated with men,
there was little or no activity in the sensory area.
8. Women are better listeners than men. According to
Horizon.com, this is because women’s brains have more frequencies than men’s.
Therefore they must work harder to analyse sounds, and the meanings behind the
sounds.
