In general, the characteristics between men and women are totally different, men and women are two pieces of one puzzle they are opposites but between them they complement. Women are more sensitive and more emotional. They are more caring and nurturing. Women are more easily sidetracked. They are more observant of their surroundings. Women try to "fix" problems in other people, whether or not the person wants fixing.
Men have one-track minds. They don't look to the left or the right. They don't ask directions. They see something and they go whole-hog to accomplish it or get it. Men don't sense when someone is out of sorts. Men forge ahead and don't notice if they are hurting feelings or saying something they shouldn't.
But why are men and women so different?
The brain is made primarily of two different types of tissue, called gray matter and white matter.
Men think more with their gray matter, and Women think more with white; these however dont affect intelectual performance.
