The Female Brian

A few neurological differences between women and men from Louann Brizendine's "The Female Brain":

There is no unisex brain. Girls arrive already wired as girls, and boys arrive already wired as boys. Their brains are different by the time they're born, and their brains are what drive their impulses, values and their very reality.

Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion, while men have a small country road, however, men have O'Hare Airport as a hub for processing thoughts about sex, where women have the airfield nearby that lands small and private planes.


Research shows that the female brain naturally releases oxytocin after a 20-second hug. The embrace bonds the huggers and triggers the brain's trust circuits.

So Brizendine advises, don't let a guy hug you unless you plan to trust him. "And if you do," she said, "make sure it lasts 20 seconds."


Head cases

Thoughts about sex enter women's brains once every couple of days; for men, thoughts about sex occur every minute.

Women use 20,000 words per day; men use 7,000 per day.

Women excel at knowing what people are feeling; men have difficulty spotting an emotion unless someone cries or threatens bodily harm.

Women remember fights that a man insists never happened.

Women over 50 are more likely to initiate divorce.
