Much has been written about why men and women are so different. Men are from Mars and women are from Venus. Or the opposite. When I watched “A tale of brain”, a video by Mark Gungor, I really realized why communication between men and women is sometimes demanding. The answer is found in their brains, which are really rather different.
Men’s brains are extremely well structured. There is a box for every single subject. Women’s brains, on the other hand, consist of threads connecting everything together with everything else. This forms the basis for the communication challenges.
However, my own major “wow” moment when I watched the video was that perhaps I have to accept how men think instead of trying to get men to think the same way as me. And instead of being envious of men who have a “Nothing box” in their brain, which women know nothing about and that men retreat to as soon as they get the chance, perhaps I just have to live with it…
But that particular box is at the top of my Christmas list this year. I would like a “nothing box” that I can use. But only when I need it most.
