83. Sex differences explain men—Chap.8

Jump to Comments

Sex and commitment help men achieve their goals. Spirituality and devotion help women achieve theirs.

When women sour on their marriage, they turn against men. When men sour on their marriage, they turn against marriage.

With regard to sexual activity, women are whatever they decide to be. Men are whatever they have to be.

Two conquerors compete and struggle. He seeks sex, and she seeks marriage. The first to conquer shapes their subsequent relationship.

Unlike men, women tend to change whatever and whomever they find as inadequate—oftentimes parenting husbands as boys.

Unlike women, men draw a line between what is their business and what is not, between what they should change and what they should leave to others.

When a man wants comfort and understanding, he turns to any woman. When a woman wants those things, she turns to a specific man.

When demonstrating their love, men are very different from women. It’s the chromosomal XX ≠ XY at its most frustrating for women.

When wife is the main breadwinner, husband’s significance fades. He may act graciously, but it makes him long for someone else to uplift his importance.

When wife outdoes her husband in manly domains, she poisons his sense of significance. When husband outdoes wife in her domains, his self-worth expands proportional to her gratitude (which often fades).
