is there a definite difference between a 'male personality' and a 'female personality', do you think? or just generalities (and some clichés)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
At first glance at it i would say no but if i thought about it...i dunno |

women have smaller feet so they can get nearer to the sink |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
uhm.. short answer would be, yes. |
||||||||

men usually have bigger genetalia than women |

People are just brainwashed in their childhood to act differently depending of their sex. Er, does this sentence make sense ? Oh, well... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
you are the exception that proves the rule |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, it does make sense... - - - maybe genitalia are brainwashing devices! |
||||||||

i am sure there are generalizations about the sexuality of a personality that are quite accurate because they are based on common observations. but the nature of a generalization is that there are invariably exceptions to the rule. so i say yes there are, in general, male and female personalities, the level of femininity or masculinity varying between individuals in a given population. |

"you are the exception that proves the rule" > that's stupid, i don't see how an exception could prove the rule it excepts o_O |

i don't think so. at least not entirely. from an evolutionary standpoint, it would make sense that males try to mate with as many females as possible (a general male personality) and females try to find a good provider for their offspring (a general female personality). This ensures that the male maximizes the distribution of his seed and the female maximizes the probablility of her offspring maturing to the age of fertility. thus promoting the proliferation of the species in question. it becomes more complex in humans of course but when broken down, the behaviors are paralleled in all primates and most higher animal lifeforms. |

perhaps because you are unable to think beyond the boundaries of the literal meaning of what i just said |

VERY true |

brainwashing made us... basically we would act very similar. slight differneces in the brain were proven if one can believe science: men think different than women. that may have effect on personality i think too much and stop it right now gnight and cya |
||||||||

|
|
its all too different for everyone, I mean.... a girls personality will change from girl to girl, same from guy to guy, im sure there is some sort of general base of which they stay in but what would that be excatly? |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

whats with all the generisation? you can only speak for yourself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The are mad psychological differences between the majority of males and females, the hormonal differences alone make a big difference but also evolutionary development has led to differences. You personality is defined upon how you think and act in given situations...so personality wise their is a large difference in most cases...obviously faggots (who clinically have different hormone patterns to straight males) act more feminine and lesbo's act more masculine...that is not through choice it is just the physical defect they have to live with. |
||||||||

man im not trying to generalize... everyone is too different way down inside, when it comes to personality... so everyones a bit different |

i believe there are definate differences in the psyches of men and women. i don't think this is a bad thing or something that should be ignored or condemed, it should be celebrated. neither is right or wrong. men and women go about solving problems in different ways and that's a good thing. i'm glad men and women are different... kinda makes things work. i think most of the differences can be attributed to evolution, although society's influence is deffinately strong as well. to assume that the differences are only physical is wrong imo. i'm pretty sure it's been well documented that men and women, given the same set of problems go through different thought processes to solve them. although i don't really feel like looking up the experiments right now. |

people have an inherent knowledge of themselves being male or female, so i'll allude to the point and say yes, there is a difference between men and women, in the mental aspect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first and foremost, the human male species (and i do think that a definitive division into separate male and female species is in order) tend to be far less intelligent than their female counterparts. all in all, those cursed with having something dangling between their legs are statistically far more emotionally volnurable (ie. males have a greater likelihood of developing a mental illness, as well as carrying out a successful suicide attempt). furthermore, males are generally of weaker health and thus typically have a shorter lifespan than females. in regards to their relation to one another, while males do have a tendency to treat the opposite sex as objects, women on the other hand balance this out by treating males as their subjects, thereby asserting the superiority of females over males. and to think that all of this (and all of life for that matter) really comes down to a single point: the continuation of the species! =) now where's my shotgun? time to take myself out of the genepool! j/k |
||||||||

|||||||||

|

yin and yang. one isn't 'more' intelligent than the other. just different ways of dealing with things and interpreting the world. men seem to be better with spacial relations type things... schematics and whatnot. women tend to be more in tune with emotional/nurturing type deals. of course, there are always exceptions. (don't flame me for stereotyping please) it's society that likes to try and assign the values of 'right' and 'wrong' to things. |

Women are better at gardening and men are better at wanking. |

|
|
we are diferent... women are probably better... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why better? don't fall into the trap of listening to society. fifty years ago (in america at least) society tried to teach that men were stronger/better than women, now the pendulum is trying to swing the other way. wouldn't things be better if everyone agreed that we are different, but there isn't any 'better' or 'worse'? these are just concepts that society tries to install to influence people. |

i think it is a combination of "brainwashing" by society, teaching you to act certain ways, but there are probably genetic differences (or something) that affect peoples personalities as well. in nature male and female animals have different roles their society, so it is probably at least partially natural. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, there do seem to be natural differences, but there is a hell of a lot of brainwashing by society; the 'norm'. most (not all, my gf's rad) teenage females absolutely shit me, for example - and it's because of the 'typical' crap they do at that age, nothing natural. and i'm a reasonably nice guy :) (most of the time...) |

that said, being an aussie male, i'm sure i've got a lot of irritating-to-females cutural ways too. *big cheesy grin* |

|

No...but to further their own causes, females like to generalise and say that all men are hard, cold, boors and males like to generalise and say that women are sentimental nags. But inspite of that, there are some traits that can in general be applied to men and women respectively. Exceptions to the rules abound, but they are more exceptions to the rule. |

women are only their "normal" selves for one week out of four due to our menstral cycle. Personaly I get very emotional periods, I get very tired and swell like a balloon ! So these things will obviously effect my personality. Even though I'm a pretty happy go lucky person, don't piss me off ;o) seriously though, women's hormones are a pain in the ass and totaly unpredictable. Eg: I was about 3 days due on my period and was craving pasta and cheese. I boiled the pasta, opend the fridge and there was no cheese. So what did I do? I cried my fucking eyes out ! |

"don't fall into the trap of listening to society" you are soooo right epohs, i hate this society so much. i think the vast majority of females are more ambitious than males. i cant eyplain why but i dont think its the genes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
females probly are more ambitious than men cos it's their turn now if you know what i mean, taking over as the dominant sex after years of the guys having it their way |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
these 'ambitious' women make me sick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's because you're jealous and sexist, like every other man. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

women who are healthly ambitious arre fine in my book. but the bitch women who arre so prroud that they arre an 'ambitious' woman can fuck off. men who are healthly ambitious arre fine in my book. but the bitch bitch who arre so prroud that they arre an 'ambitious' men can fuck off. |
