    Vive la Difference!

    The male and female of the human species are “wired” differently. They do not think, speak, or act the same way in response to the same stimuli. Men and women send, receive, and process information differently. Because they view the world through different mental and emotional “filters,” men and women can look at the same thing and see completely different aspects.
    They can be exposed to the same information and draw totally dissimilar conclusions. They can examine the same data and yet be poles apart in how they interpret that data.
    He made the male house different from the female house because they have different functions:

    1. A man is a logical thinker while a woman is an emotional feeler.

    2. For a woman, language spoken is an expression of what she is feeling. For a man, language spoken is an expression of what he is thinking.

    3. Language that is heard by a woman is an emotional experience.
    Language that is heard by a man is the receiving of information.

    4. Women tend to take everything personally. Men tend to take everything impersonally.

    5. Women are interested in the details—the “nitty-gritty.” Men are interested in the principle—the abstract or the philosophy.

    6. In material things, women tend to look at goals only. Men want to know the details of how to get there.

    7. In spiritual or intangible things, men look at goals. Women want to know how to get there.

    8. A man’s mind is like a filing cabinet. A woman’s mind is like a computer.

    9. A woman’s home is an extension of her personality. A man’s job is an extension of his personality.

    10. Men can be nomadic. Women need security and roots.

    11. Women tend to be guilt prone. Men tend to be resentful.

    12. Men are stable and level off. Women are always changing.

    13. Women tend to become involved more easily and more quickly than men do. Men tend to stand back and evaluate before they get involved.

    14. Men need to be told again and again. Women never forget.

    15. Men tend to remember the gist of things rather than the details.
