Problems simply arise when we expect or assume the opposite sex should think, feel or act the way we do. It is not that men and women live in completely different realities, but our lack of knowledge and mutual experience gives rise to our difficulties.
There is evidence to suggest that a great deal of the misunderstanding that exists within men and women has a physiological basis. It has been observed that is many cases, women have an enhanced physical alarm response to danger or threat. Their autonomic and sympathetic systems have a lower threshold of arousal and greater reactivity than men.

Sexually aggressive males become less focused on sexual aggressive behavior and content when they are given female hormones (Conner, 2006).
Conversely, changing estrogen and progesterone levels in women during menstrual cycles can…

"Eat" and "drink" come together primarily in visual ways, and this is the part of the movie that I enjoyed the most. The filming of the ways in which the food is prepared and then savored is just luscious: This is not a move that you should see if you are attempting to stick to a diet.
