Tea Time Talk

A small gist of our conversation during tea time.

Girls claimed that the guys are not caring enough. They do not talk to them as openly and express themselves as the girls did. Guys claimed that the girls were not practical enough to handle the situation as ‘efficiently’!!?? as the guys could.

Did a bit of research (of course! Google is always ready to help great research oriented people like us :))), just to find out why girls think they are too matured and guys think they are too practical!.

Read the article below which provides some basic reasoning.
“In young children, its found that emotional activity is localized in primitive subcortical areas of the brain, specifically in the amygdala. That's one reason why it doesn't make much sense to ask a 6-year-old to tell you why she is feeling sad. The part of the brain that does the talking, up in the cerebral cortex, doesn't connect to the part of the brain where the emotion is occurring, namely the amygdala. In adolescence, brain activity associated with emotion moves up to the cerebral cortex. So, the 17-year-old is able to explain what she is feeling, and why, in great detail and without much difficulty. But that change occurs only in girls. In boys, the locus of emotional control remains stuck in the amygdala. Asking a 17-year-old boy to talk about his feelings is about as productive as asking a 6-year-old boy to talk about his feelings. In adult women, brain activity associated with emotion occurs mainly in the cerebral cortex, whereas in adult men, emotional activity is still ‘stuck' in the amygdala. "
Hmm…that’s the reason y guys still think like kids.. :))

Ok…the guys need not feel offended…

“Male brains consistently show more hemispheric asymmetry: the left hemisphere looks different from the right hemisphere. In women, the two hemispheres are much more alike. In women, there is proportionately more grey matter, and less white matter; vice versa for men. Women have a higher concentration of grey matter in the neocortex (the phylogenetically 'newer' part of the cerebral cortex), whereas men had proportionately more grey matter in the entorhinal cortex, one of the 'older' areas of the brain. This indicates that Men are more likely to use a small area of the brain, on just one side, for a particular task; women typically use more of the brain, on both hemispheres, for the same task.”

And for the fun part of it:-
A French teacher was explaning to her class that in french, unlike English, nouns are designated as, either masculine or feminine.
"House" for instance, is feminine - "la mansion"
"Pencil" for instance, is masculine - "le crayon"

A student asked, "What gender is a computer?" Instead of answering the teacher split the class into two groups, boys and girls, and asked them to decide for themselves whether "Computer" should be a masculine or feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for their recommendation.
And here's what follows:-

The boys group decided that the computer was definitely be of the feminine gender ("la computer") because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2.The language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3.Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval.
4.As soon as u make a commitment to one u find urself spending half your pay-cheque buying accessories for it

The girls, however, concluded that computers should be masculine noun ("le computer”) because:
1. In order to do anything with them u have to turn then on.
2. They have a lot of data but still cannot think for themselves
3. They are supposed to help you solve, but half the time they ARE the problem
4. As soon as u commit to one, you realise that if you had waited a little longer, you could have got a better model.

And...of course! the girls won :)
