The FEMALE BRAIN -by Louann Brizendine, M.D.
Her book talks about the stages of life - and what to expect in each stage.
Brain chemically changes as you age and as life situations change.
Estrogen- “Queen”
Seratonin
Progesterone- Mellowing
Testasterone- Assertive, aggressive
Oxytocin- nurturing, loving
Cortisol - stress, blocks oxytocin
Men are chasers and women are choosers. It is programmed into us as humans, and as a species, as in many many species.
Women will always choose best for children and providers.
We somehow are classified as golddiggers when really biology has just given us a jolt of chemicals from our ancestral wish list. Biology builds our future?
-Men are attracted to small features in all cultures
- Men’s hardwired preferences?
- estrogen plumps your lips and brightens your hair and skin — signs of fertility.
Men like to trust women -
Do we assume that men are lying to us? “They are employing social filters the first date/ first little while, but when we really get to know them, they are different”
Can women read your face? They can tell honesty/sincerity
Men impose values that they want women to have, just because they’re physically attracted.. not necessarily true.
Girls get let down too easy so they do not expect much.
Woemn in love - show activity in many areas
Men in love - in visual areas - fall in love at first sight???
More women say beloved has no faults.
