Alan's blog: "Man Vs. Woman : A 12 Step Pictography"

Grab a (B) (D) and some munchies and prepare yourselves to an interesting tour of human nature. I decided that I would take you on a walk through some sets of images I have found that show how men and women perceive their differences, their goals, and their romantic universe in a struggle to understand and manipulate it. enjoy ------------------------------------------------ I. THE BRAIN An unending argument seems to be the neurological differences between man and woman. Our perception of how the female brain . . . and the male brain operate is often satirized. We accept the physiological and hormonal differences due to the sex organs, but some resist that there are fundamental differences in the brain. I. THE BRAIN --------------------------------------------------II. EMOTIONS & THOUGHTS Knowing that our whole consiousness is affected by a variety of factors, there seems to be differing opinions as to where our EMOTIONS and our THOUGHTS originate between the sexes. II. EMOTIONS & THOUGHTS ------------------------------------------------- III. LOVE The differences in our thinking leads to fundamental differences in our idea of LOVE. III. LOVE ------------------------------------------------- So far we've covered: I. THE BRAIN II. EMOTIONS & THOUGHTS III. LOVE Now it's time for IV. EROGENOUS ZONES It is interesting to note how the practical function of intercourse and the instinctual behavior of men and women in LOVE and SEX have led to differences in the tempo and nature of arousal and fornication between the sexs. It is also curious that women, whose brains are clearly geared, by admission of the DH women in prior posts, towards communication are unwilling or unable to communicate the desired stimuli that they are seeking in order to attain arousal. Men seem to be able to indicate their arousal and point of stimulus without even using their hands do indicate their desire. Is one or the other sex easier to operate? IV. EROGENOUS ZONES -------------------------------------------------- Interesting observation Judit. As a reward, here's number V. V. GENITALIA We discover our physiological differences early on. Child-like thinking leads boys to the conclusion that "I have one and you don't" implies some kind of superiority. Do we really know as children what the balance of power really is? V. GENITALIA -------------------------------------------------- VI. MARRIAGE What do the sexes expect from marriage. -------------------------------------------------- VII. PERFECTION Why is it that when we find someone really good, we still want to wait for PERFECTION. What is perfection to a woman?? What is perfection to a man? VII. PERFECTION -------------------------------------- VIII. GETTING MARRIED Why is it that we see GETTING MARRIED so differently? Why are women in a hurry to get married? Why are men in a hurry not to? Why the disconnect about commitment? VIII. GETTING MARRIED ------------------------------------------------ IX. FRUSTRATION Do we have different ideas about how to handle the frustration of not finding Mr./Miss Right? Do women have the urge to go get a man, by any mean necessary? Do men think they can solve the problem the Stepford Wives way? IX. FRUSTRATION ------------------------------------------------ X. BLISSFULLY MARRIED So we enter matrimony. Blissful symbiotic co-existence. We continue to get to know our spouse, but before too many years the reality begins to set in. Do men yearn to be free again? Sorry, the caption says something like, "Because eventually you will have to come home and face her." Do women lose the desire to please? X. BLISSFULLY MARRIED -------------------------------------------- XI. GROWING OLDER It is curious how men and women see things differently. None of us is immune to aging. It is one of the universe's great equalizers. Why do we perceive and react to aging differently? How do we measure ourselves against it? Men grow more distinguished? Women become . . .what? XI. GROWING OLDER ------------------------------------------- XII. CHERISH At some point in successful relationships we learn to CHERISH each other and take pleasure in supporting each other . . . and may even find it hard to stop doing so when we finally understand each others need and have to part. May find joy in love and your differences become your bond. XII. CHERISH ------------------------------------------------
