179. Sex differences explain men — Chap. 15
♀♂ Men don’t want to compete with women. The female psyche mystifies, and men are not comfortable trying to outwit it. Women compete with women naturally, but when doing so they act like men—only worse and less attractively. (This applies to interaction of minds, such as on the job or in the home, and not games or sports.)
♀♂ Men respect, favor, and thrive on producing things in life and dealing with challenges. Women respect, favor, and thrive on the processes of life and dealing with people.
♀♂ The more-inclined-to-be-dependent female lives more easily on faith. The more independent nature of men pushes them toward action more easily than faith.
♀♂ Men primarily honor authority figures they fear or respect; it’s their competitive world in action. Women primarily honor authorities and institutions that call for faith and trust, such as God, government, education outlets; it’s their cooperative world in action.
♀♂ Men allow beauty to do whatever beauty can lead to. Women promote their beauty for all it can produce.
♀♂ Women lack this drive: Men with a strong sense of family responsibility, even when jobless, have an urge in the morning to go someplace outside the home. It’s a reassuring habit and can ease doubts he may have about his significance.
