Just before going to sleep at 1am today, I listened to HU U?, a talk about the difference of men and women. To my surprise 70% about the facts he said about men, I can related to; and to my horror, the facts about women, I completely disagreed (although I agreed with the 30%). And I thought to myself, why?
I remember one instance, in my social life wherein the girl friends I were with started girl-talking --about boys and stuff and I started panicking. I was uncomfortable with the topic of guys hitting on them. Hrrrrr, makes me shiver. I had to turn the conversation to a better topic and then I soon relaxed. Sigh.
Oh well. Even if I'm different from the stereotype girl (er, from one who dreams of princessy stuff), I believe that there are girls out there like me. I pray that I can use my difference to help humankind though (haha), specifically in relating with my future husband and children.
Here are some of my notes regarding the things discussed in HU U?
Thoughts about HU U mp3
I relate more with men, here are some of the things I can relate with. Uh-oh. Is there something wrong with me?
1. Shoebox thinking, tends to compartmentalize (Home box, School box, HS Friends, Church Friends)
2. Can only focus on one thing at a time (TV time, can't talk)
3. Linear thinking no subtext (going out = just hanging out)
---->I never assume really :(
4. Going to caves not to marketplaces (solving problems in the cave)
True:
women are more emotional
kinda mixes up eveything else
what's really happening is not equal to what's perceived
men build friendship through shared experiences
women build friendship through shared emotions
(ex. when a guy opens up, women feels close)
