Men are said to be from Mars and women are from Venus. The character differences between girls and boys create mutual attraction, but are also the cause of typical male/female conflicts and misunderstanding. The different orientations are also the reason why the men’s department in fashion stores is always located at the back or on the top floor. And it remains remarkable that not only men’s magazines but also women’s magazines (Libelle, Viva, Margriet) mainly depict women.
Character differences between woman and man
Women and men usually have an irresistible attraction to each other. The desire for the opposite sex is a phenomenon created by nature, which ensures the survival of the species. It is of course not exclusive to humans, because almost all animal species consist of male and female specimens. Less than 6% of animal species, such as some snails and earthworms, are hermaphroditic and therefore do not have different sexes. Gender differences can be a source of annoyance and conflict.
Preschoolers
The psychological differences between the female and male sex manifest themselves at a very young age. For example, it does not matter how neutral the parents are regarding the upbringing of the little one, but boys will usually play with cars and girls with dolls. At that age, girls are already more interested in faces, while boys are more fascinated by objects.
In primary school
Around the age of 10, the differences are also remarkable, and at the same time predictable. During the hut weeks that are held on a large scale in the summer, the girls’ creations are always provided with neat rugs and curtains and the interiors make a neat and tidy impression. The chaotic inside of the boys’ huts stands out in stark contrast. The girls can talk better at that age, while the boys are trying to figure out which of them is the strongest. When it comes to aggression, the girls already fight it out verbally and the boys physically. In that respect, they cannot beat each other.
Adult
Apart from sexual attraction, there are countless areas where men and women need each other, because they can complement and complete each other. More interesting than the harmonious similarities are the points where men and women are often at odds with each other, because they sometimes differ so fundamentally from each other. Below are some examples that lead to friction, deliberately presented in rather black and white.
To talk
Women often hold their own verbally and often win the discussion. Women are undeniably better talkers than men, but they are also often poor listeners. They often blame their husbands for having so little to say. It’s a shame that they interrupt him so often the few times he does open his mouth.
To eat
If a woman has to eat alone, she is able to prepare herself a 3-course dinner for one person, complete with boiled potatoes and a meatball. Served on a neatly set table, with cutlery and decorated with flowers. Men work more practically and efficiently when they are alone, because the pizza is defrosted in no time and you can eat it straight from the frying pan. But first put an old newspaper on the table, so that you don’t have to clean anything afterwards.
Gentleman in traffic
If only all men had the civilized driving behavior of the average woman. Admittedly, there were traffic jams at zebra crossings, because the ladies slowed down at least 100 meters in advance, as long as they thought someone was about to cross. But on the other hand, the number of scoundrels who stick to their bumpers and display other antisocial driving behavior would decrease significantly if men were more likely to follow the driving behavior of women.
Men’s clothing on the top floor at C&A etc.
When it comes to clothes, the average woman exhibits true junk behavior. The clothing stores know this incurable addiction and respond to it cleverly. That is why women’s clothing is invariably found on the ground floor, as close as possible to the entrance and clearly visible from the street. Women walking past who initially had no intention of buying clothes are still attracted to all those irresistible fashion clothes. The next step is that they start browsing the racks and are quickly tempted to purchase yet another useless item of clothing that remains virtually untouched in the closet, next to those other rarely worn sweaters and dresses. The consequence is that the men’s department is always relegated to the top floor, where men go anyway because they consciously go to the store when they need to replace worn-out trousers with new ones. And then walking an extra flight of stairs makes no difference at all.
Unashamedly burping and farting
Men must definitely unlearn this, especially in bed when they lie next to their wife.
