Human Gender-Differences Fun Facts
Who Has More Depth?Yes, women do have more depth and complexity—and science has the proof!
It's all in the chromosomes. According to the Los Angeles Times, men are the product of an X and a Y chromosome. Their maleness is in the Y chromosome. However, Y is usually the inactive genes. Therefore, men’s genetic instructions are found in one chromosome, the X. Women, on the other hand, have twice the amount of genetic instructions as men do since they are the product of two X chromosomes. No wonder why men are more shallow and simpler than women.
Who Has a More Sophisticated Sense of Humor?Stanford University researchers found that women have a classier sense of humor than men. The researchers gave men and women humorous cartoons to look at while having their brains monitored with an MRI. Men showed a lot less activity in their brains than women. Men expected the cartons to be funny and started laughing sooner without much thought. Women evaluated the cartoons with much more thought; their brains showed that they experienced more delight with each cartoon. The study revealed also why men enjoy the shallow slapstick humor more than women.
Who's Faster?She might be faster than Jesse Owens
In the Olympics of 2156, women will beat men in the 100-meter run. According to Nature, the time difference between men’s and women’s speed in the 100-meter run has been shrinking. If the time difference continues to shrink as it has been throughout the 1900s, by 2156, women will be faster than men, at least in the 100-meter run.A Mirror
A woman spends an average of 2 years of her life time looking at herself in the mirror; a man spends 6 months.
However, men look at a reflection of themselves as often as womnen do; it is just that women take longer looks due to more necessary maintenance a woman has to do in front of a mirror.
Men don’t listen!Women should not blame men for “not listening.” It is not their fault—this is the scientific explanation according toDiscovery.com.
Since women’s voices have many more frequencies than men’s, the human brain must work harder to analyze sound frequencies and comprehend the meaning intended.
Jolly and FatMen that are fat are happier than thin men. Fat women are not. Researchers in Boston studied 45,000 men and discovered that fat men are 42% less likely to commit suicide than men with no extra weight. Who's the Boss at Home?If men want a happier marriage, they should let the wife be the boss over household issues. A team of researchers at Iowa State University studied the relationship of 72 couples and found the following:
Women, having stronger opinions regarding their home and family, tend to control household matters (housework, family times, family schedules, etc.). And husbands were the happiest if they did not disagree with these decisions regarding household matters. Husbands who had opinions about these issues were more likely to be involved in spousal arguments.
