Well anyway, back to the topic. I know that I'm probably not the first one to blog about this but I couldn't help but to use this post as an excuse as to find out more on all the guy and girl issues that most of us make fun of on a daily basis. It's weird how some things could never be explained just by studying the general 'personality side' of both sexes but somehow had something to do with science/biology.
The first one was on the perception of how women love to cuddle after sex whereas men just want to fall asleep. Hah, this I can't speak through experience but it seems as though it's always the case when u watch like dramas/movies and the wife always complains when the husband falls asleep right after sex. It is actually said that men and women both release hormones called oxytocin which is associated with love and sorta encourages bonding between the two sexes. The sad thing is, men can't control their testosterone level after sex, thereby neutralizing whatever oxytocin they produced. Mm, so all the women out there, don't blame men when they fall asleep after sex, they can't help it. :) But of course, I think it's nice to hear sweet nothings from ur loved ones at any time of the day, so don't hold back after sex. Blurt it all out when the hormones are doing its job!
Girl 1: Let's go shopping!
Girl 2: What are we buying?
Girl 1: I don't know. Let's just go and we'll definitely find something we need/want to buy.
Isn't that what tends to happen when girls go shopping? It's not the best kept secret that women can walk in shopping malls for hours and end up empty handed whereas men only need close to an hour to find what they're looking for and leave. And btw, I'm not implying that we, men, leave the shopping mall to do more productive things like playing the playstation or going for a few games of foosball with our friends ( and yes, i miss foosball ). There was also a study which was titled "Men Buy, Women Shop" that said that men enjoyed shopping only when they are specifically looking for something and not wandering aimlessly waiting for something to catch their attention. Can't blame us for being more task-oriented uh coz it all goes back to the days when men went to 'hunt' for food and losing focus meant having no food for the day.
Generally, people think that women stress about every little detail and are more likely to make mountains out of molehills whereas men seem to always have the 'situation under control'. It's probably most evident when men always insist on trying every possible route before stopping to ask for directions. And yes, this can also be explained by studying all the wonderful hormones in your body. Men, tend to have more dopamine, which is a pleasure-inducing chemical that is released when someone solves a problem whereas women produce serotonin when they relieve their stress by talking and talking and talking and talking and relating to their problems. Oops, i think that was one 'and talking' too many. Oh well.. That's not a secret too anyway, no? And i DON'T think it's a bad thing.
What I think would be fun is to have female hormones pumped into me probably a day before I die so that I can experience the fun of wandering around shopping malls and say sweet nothings instead of falling asleep after sex.. Oh wait, but if that happens, the next day when I'm meant to die, i'll have the face of a man but have boobs? I think i'll just take that back. Lol.
Assumptions for this post : I'm a MAN and not a BOY.
Note: I'm definitely not a sexist.
