Boggled by the complexity

Taken from the internet:

Men do not necessarily want a committed relationship as a result of mind blowing sex – they are wired differently than women. In her book The Female Brain, neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine cites:

“Males have double the brain space and processing power devoted to sex as women … Just as women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion while men have a small country road, men have O'Hare Airport as a hub for processing thoughts about sex whereas women have the airfield nearby that lands small and private planes.”

This means men are driven to have sex whether it means something or not. On the other hand, when women have sex, they generally want it to mean something ...




Interesting point ... and very true. Makes me wonder about commitment and what this word means to an individual. What is your definition of this?

For some, it scares the heebie-jeebies out of them and makes them balk. For others, it is a prerequisite to sex and being vulnerable. What is this game we play of near-and-far? Push-and-pull? Logically, I can understand it, men and women ARE different ... and many self-help dating books cover this "chase". But emotionally, what's it all about? I've never quite been able to wrap my heart around it ...

What ever happened to simplicity?

"I like you. You like me. Let's agree to be open and respectful and to spend some time together ... see where it goes."

When did dating and relationships get so difficult? Sigh ...
