The brain of a man and a woman works in different ways. Scientists have proved that female logic, intuition and the sixth sense exist. Moreover, they played a significant role for the survival of mankind. The book "Flexible Mind" of the publishing house "MIF" tells you in which areas the ladies are always one step ahead, and in which - on a par with the strong half of humanity.
1. Empathy
Women have a highly developed ability for empathy. It is enough for them to look at a person to understand his feelings and needs. For example, a mother always knows why a child is capricious: from hunger, fatigue, fear or boredom. This ability in ancient times helped to survive the whole tribe.
2. Multitasking
Drive a car, talk on the phone and dye your eyelashes. For a man this is a shock, and for a woman - everyday reality. And all because the female brain has more connections between the right and left hemispheres. Therefore, a lady can playfully switch between emotions, logic and everyday affairs.
3. The ability to feel lies
Women see when a person's words are contrary to the language of his body. A man to spend a lot easier.
4. Understanding without words
At Harvard, a study was conducted showing men and women short films without sound. In each film, a certain situation was presented. 87% of women understood what was happening on the screen. Among men, this figure was only 42%.
5. Behavioral assessment
"Did you see how he looked at me?". Observing the behavior of others, women use 14-16 areas of the brain. Men give it only 4-6 areas.
6. Ability to build eyes
Studies show that girls are more likely to look at boys in younger grades of the school, making eye contact with them.
7. Talking about everything
Women can discuss or ponder two or four topics at the same time. Thus a great and incomprehensible female logic is born.
8. Change of voice
During the conversation, the ladies apply up to five tonalities of voice. So they highlight the main thing or show that they want to change the subject.
Men can catch only three tones. Not surprisingly, they are often lost when dealing with women.
9. Vocabulary
Women use 15 thousand words a day. Men - 7 thousand.
10. The art of parting
Studies have shown that women twice complete the conversation. At parting so much I want to say!
11. Manifestation of emotions
Communicating in chats, women use more emoticons. The most popular symbol is :-).
12. Vanilla Love
The female sense of smell is thinner than the male, although the smells act on everyone. If the store of women's clothes smells of vanilla, sales are doubled. On men, the same effect is the smell of roses and honey.
We are different, but we are together
Despite all the differences, many men and women unite. And these facts are striking.
1. First we feel, then we think
Our central switch is emotion. Not surprisingly, because the emotional part of the brain is more than 200 million years old, and rational - only one hundred thousand. So emotions determine our behavior. And men, too, whatever they say.
2. Almost nothing is aware of
We have five senses, and in a second they catch 11 million bits of information. And the mind can only process 40 bits. All the rest remains behind the scenes.
3. We produce 65 thousand thoughts a day
More than 90% of them repeat those that were yesterday and will arise tomorrow. That's why it is so difficult to go to a new restaurant or choose an unusual style of dress.
4. Believe our eyes
In the eyes are 70% of all receptors. Therefore, we believe what we see. For the sake of experiment, scientists added tasteless red dyes to white wine. Even experienced sommeliers caught the trick: they described the white wine in terms suitable for red.
5. We are afraid of pain
Each square centimeter of our skin contains about 200 pain receptors. For a sense of pressure, 15 receptors respond, for a feeling of cold - 6, for a sense of heat - 1.
6. We recognize each other from thousands
Anthropologists believe that people recognize about 250,000 facial expressions.
In some ways we are different, in some ways similar. But the main thing is that the brain helps us complement each other and be together.
