Men and Women - What They Say About Each Other

1. The battle of the sexes has probably been going on since

the first caveman left his dirty dishes on the floor of the cave. A subject of endless discussion, it has inspired a million jokes and articles and almost as many books .

2. However, a recent study tells us that men and women really do think differently. Our brains are built in a different way. The results of the study suggest that men have better spatial perception (driving, ball sports), while women's brains equip them better for remembering words and speaking fluently.

3. The scientists examined only a small part of the brain, and they say that further research needs to be done. Here at chatzone1 we have done some less scientific research. We asked people, 'What are the differences between the sexes? ' Here are their answers.

What women say about men

· Men remember useless information, like how fast an aeroplane can go, even if they never fly one. (Heather)

· If you ask a man a question, he'll always have an answer, even if it's the wrong one. (Aisha)

· Men do things first, and think about the risks later. (Candy)

· Men cannot watch sport on TV and talk to women at the same time. (Mai)

 

What men say about men

· Men know that common house spiders aren't as dangerous as rattlesnakes. (Daniel)

· Men can drive without looking at themselves in the mirror every ten seconds. (Ron)

· Men can watch a whole film without interrupting to ask,

'Who is he?' 'What's her job?' 'Does he like her?' (Alfred)

· When men want something , they ask for it instead of making a comment distantly related to the subject and hoping their partner will guess what the real subject is.

(Guy)

What men say about women

· Women couldn't invent weapons that kill, only weapons that .make you feel really guilty until you say sorry. (Kent)

· While men speak in sentences, women speak in

paragraphs. (Sergio)

· Women are happy to own twenty CDs, while men need 200 . (Steve)

· Women order salad, then eat the man's chips. (Kazeem)

What women say about women

· Women have natural instincts about what is dangerous for babies. (Linda)

· Women notice when something is dirty or needs replacing. (Carol)

· Only women can understand other women. (Xun)

· Women have a calendar in their brains: we remember birthdays and anniversaries easily. (Avril)
