From what i see man looks for Freedom more,women looks for Security more..
Both Gender become Satisfied when they come to God,because God is sufficient in giving what both needs...

This is what i have observed.
And I agree with you.

My answer is much like yours.
I will try to explain, as possible (perhaps by giving a choking example
) what 'Freedom' means to a man and 'Security' to a woman.

That's nice. Now, how about that scientifically valid, peer reviewed evidence? :)
Always love to see the "peer reviewed evidence" card played. Nice stake in the "intellectual high ground". Now go live some life and maybe it'll dry a little behind those ears missy.

That certainly wasn't a particularly impressive response, but... Thanks for the laugh, I suppose. ;)

Sure, if one's experience explicitly pertains to a relevant skill set or piece of information -- assuming, of course, that the information in question isn't tainted by variables that haven't been accounted for, which is really one of the primary points I've made earlier in this thread in reference to females and their respective social infrastructure. :eek:

You mean the infrastructure where women use 50k words a day while men use 10k.....or when women get together they tell each other how nice they look and compliment the new do or the new shoes and when men hang out they insult each other. The reality is that women treat others how they want to be treated and men treat others how they want to be treated, and when you cross gender boundaries.... the way a women treats a man can come across as disrespectful to a man and the way a man treats a women can come across as unloving.....and that...my inexperienced little friend is about as peer reviewed as it gets.

You're alluding to a highly subjective set of stereotypes that simply don't hold any objective, universal weight. I don't personally make a habit out of telling my female peers how "nice they look" or compliment their shoes or hair, and I don't think I've seen men insult one another very often. And, regardless of the extent to which these stereotypes exist, the overall societal context that they exist in has to be accounted for -- namely, the largely artificial concept of feminism and masculinity that's so prevalent in society that heavily molds behavioral tendencies. If mere stereotypes and subjective experience are the best defense you're capable of making for the rather baseless assumption that men and women are inherently and drastically psychologically and socially different, you've already conceded your ignorance.

Insert twenty-five cents and try again.

I'm afraid its gonna take more than a quarter to undo the multi thousand dollar mindwash you'll receive at the university. If you wanna prop up your ill conceived notion of sameness between genders...knock yourself out. But please...get back to us in 20 years after the sheen has dulled.

I'm not attempting to imply that legitimate discrepancies between genders don't actually exist. I'm really only pointing out the extent to which they're exaggerated in society, and that the purportedly monochromatic dichotomies between men and women that were mentioned earlier in the thread ("security versus freedom," for instance) are arguably mostly false -- or, at best, far too superficial and subjective to reasonably apply to a general analysis of differences between the sexes.

Heh for once I actually agree with Liza here.

Just out of curiosity sister, what is your opinion on major differences between Man and Woman? Generally speaking of course.

Well, beyond obvious anatomical differences and artificial discrepancies generally associated with one's upbringing, I suppose the most notably innate psychological discrepancies I can think of are sexual behavior and general (albeit obviously not universal) personality traits that tend to correspond consistently to one sex or another, especially in more egalitarian societies. For instance, women consistently exhibit a higher degree of jealousy than men in relationships, and women consistently tend to exhibit personable traits more often than men.

But, generally speaking, it's admittedly fairly difficult to accurately gauge the extent to which differences between the sexes are innate or culturally acquired. It's essentially an argument over nature versus nurture, and the extent to which the various aspects of differences between the sexes actually exist innately has been a fairly contentious issue for quite some time. Overall, I believe it's rational to conclude that there's no strong evidence of many significant, innate social and psychological differences between the sexes relative to the extent to which both genders share similar traits, and that human cognition and social adaptability arguably plays a greater role in exaggerating differences between them -- or creating differences, for that matter.

Overall, I do acknowledge that differences between both genders exist, and that a handful of these are both significant and arguably innate, but I'm not convinced that most of these differences are mostly the result of innate psychology.

So to summarize you believe women are more prone to jealousy against one another but at the same time are able to fake kindness better than men, but that ultimately depending on one's upbringing as well as interactions with society that such an issue, generally speaking, may be non-existent?

I´m not quite sure who needs more reassurance. Women needs more mirrors than men and, when these do like them, no doubt girls/women know he/they are so selfish and egotist.

Dr. Pilar Sordo might help you find more tips she has largely shared with latin people. :)

I mean, in general, what is the main difference between a man and a woman in their relationships with others? (Please note, I don’t mean sexually).

I bet my answer will be accepted by most of you though you are not aware of yet.
A hint: In one respect they are clearly opposite (by nature).


But let us hear your personal observations first, based on your long experience.

Somebody emailed this to me a couple of days ago. I think this will answer your question:


Friendship among Women:
A woman didn't come home one night. The next morning
She told her husband that she had slept over at a
friend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best
Friends. None of them knew anything about it.



Friendship among Men:
A man didn't come home one night. The next morning he
Told his wife that he had slept over at a friend's
House. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends.
Eight confirmed that he had slept over, and two said he was still there.

So list them for us and tell us which ones are innate and which are the result of nurture. So far all you've done is thrown a bunch of big words together to make yourself appear intelligent with no real world experience. I think Einstein said that if you can't explain it to a 5 year old, you don't understand it yourself.

You are obviously smart but your posts look verbatim from a psychology textbook. If you really understand the concepts then you should be able to dumb it down a bit so us uneducated types can understand it. There are plenty of peer reviewed studies that prove my point. Using complex language actually calls into question your intelligence...just sayin.

The difference between man and woman is that he is created to love her. She is created to respond to that love...not have it in her heart as he does to give her. It does no good to give love if no one is there to receive it. Love requires fulfullment. One causes the other so to say. She will respond in kind to what she is given. It is our nature from God. This is my understanding of the difference.
Excellent response, your understand is keen.
