Brain scans, controlled studies, evolutionary psychology, and anthropology, demonstrate that men and women are not the same! We are physically & mentally different. We input, process and deliver information differently. We evolved with different priorities, and we are marinated in different combinations of hormones. This leads to a misaligned interpretation of reality...which creates conflict, not only in our love lives, but in our family lives, and the lives of our children. The following is a list of 50 of these differences...perhaps if we're aware of them, we can interact with more empathy, and better logic.
