The Construction Of The Woman’s Brain

It’s true to say that women are actually more complicated than men. Their brains are completely different in terms of their construction.

There are four key areas that show differences between the female and male brain: Activity, structure, chemistry and processing. These differences appear all around the world, however there are also some exceptions to the rule. Nevertheless, these differences are a generalised look at how the typical way in which the male and female brain function.

Processing

The male brain utilises almost 7 times more grey matter when active and the female brain uses almost 10 times more white matter. So, what is the significance of this?

The areas of grey matter in the brain are localised action and information processing centres. Once deeply engaged with a game or task, the amount of sensitivity men display to their surroundings or other people is minimal. This ensures that men excel in tasks which require a concentrated focus.

White matter, on the other hand, is a networking grid which connects the grey matter to the other processing centres. This leads to women being able to transition more rapidly between tasks and why multi-tasking is easier.

Chemistry

While both the female and male brain processes identical neuro-chemicals, the degrees to which they are processed differ and the processing takes place through body-brain connections that are gender specific. Due to the differences in processing chemicals, men are usually more aggressive and physically aggressive. Also, men process a smaller amount of oxytocin, a bonding chemical, than women. This means that men need to find a different way to release stress to women.

Structural Difference

The hippocampus (or memory centre) is usually larger in females and women also frequently have a more dense network of neural connections to the hippocampus. This allows women to absorb or input more emotive and sensorial information than a man.

Women also have a verbal centre on each side of their brain, however men usually only have verbal centres on their left brain hemisphere. This means that girls usually use a larger number of words when describing and discussing things. Meanwhile, men are at a disadvantage when talking about emotions, senses and feelings.

Brain Activity And Blood Flow

A woman’s brain often thinks more about emotional memories, revisiting them more frequently than a man’s brain. Men usually reflect briefly on emotive memories, analyse them and then move on. This often leads to people thinking that boys try to avoid their feelings when compared to girls.

Communication Is Key

The famous book “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” points out that one of the main problems in the female/male relationship is poor communication. Finding a good balance in any relationship is essential and communication has a key role to play in that, and this is why this book has proven to be so popular.

With this in mind,  you’ll find ten essential secrets which will enable you to keep the woman in your life happy – and yes, believe it or not, it’s something that you really can achieve!

1. Listen More

If a woman has to ask if you’re listening, then you probably aren’t. Women need you to hear them talk about their problems and then to empathise with them. Being supportive is the key here.

2. Surprise Her

Women really love occasional surprises. There’s no need to go out and buy her an expensive present – it’s the sentiment which is behind the present and not the cost which is important. A personal card or flowers are sure to delight her.

3. Making Her Feel Special

Women require flattery and compliments from time to time. They want to feel attractive and desired. Telling her she looks fine isn’t enough – she needs to know she’s your top priority and needs regular reassurance. By simply sending her a text every now and then reminding her about special moments you’ve shared you can really improve your relationship.

4. Remember She Never Forgets

Women are usually a lot more sensitive than men, and they’ll never forget any incident of infidelity. Even if she says she’s forgotten the incident, if she uses the past constantly during arguments she’s definitely not forgiven you. Women may forgive however they never forget and they struggle to handle dishonesty. The only way forward is to come to an arrangement never to mention the incident again.

5. Don’t Forget Important Dates

Men may remember important dates like insurance renewals and mortgage payments, however remembering birthdays and anniversaries is somehow harder. It’s important to remember those key romantic dates or your partner will start to feel unimportant and disconnected.

6. Be Chivalrous

Women want to be respected and are attracted to men who are formal, polite, kind and refined – in other words, chivalrous. Simple acts such as offering a seat or opening a door still impress women today, while being well-mannered and well-groomed is also still important.

7. Show Gratitude And Praise

Women love to be praised and showing gratitude boosts her self-esteem. She’ll feel loved and appreciated as long as your compliments are genuine and sincere.

8. Taking Time

Having quality time together is vital for any relationship. Trying something new or taking a holiday together will rekindle your passion and celebrate your love. It’s also important to show her that your future plans and goals involve her.

9. Keep Your Promises

It is vital to never repeatedly break promises or fail to live up to expectations. Making sure to never forget promises which have been made is essential.

10.Acknowledge Your Commitment

When a man believes he and his partner have a future together, it’s important to share that information with friends and family. He must also acknowledge her importance in his life publicly without shame or dismissal.

With these ten things in mind, you are now well armed to become a more loving, considerate and kind partner to the woman in your life. If you’re not quite there yet, then keep an eye out for more articles from this section ‘A Woman’s Mind’
