Confused Or Frustrated By Your Man? Science Can Explain What He's Thinking
Women are from Venus, and men are from Mars. Sometimes it really does feel like our man is from a totally different planet. How often do we mutter under our breath, “Why would he do that? Why would he say that? What was he thinking? Was he even thinking at all?”
Fortunately, science can provide answers to some of our questions about why our men act the way they do. As Dr. Louann Brizendine, a practicing neuropsychiatrist, New York Times best-selling author, and media commentator specializing in the male and female brain, often says, “Male and female brains are more alike than they are different; after all, we are the same species.” Male and female brains have the same basic machinery; they’re just influenced differently by different sex hormones. When a man’s brain is marinated in testosterone during in-utero growth and development, and again during puberty, there is a physical result. The same goes for a woman’s brain under the influence of estrogen.
