I think as a basic rule, yes. Men are much more visual physiologically than women.

Apparently not.

Most of the teaching I have ever heard or read would agree with what you posted.

That's very interesting.

To clarify, I'm talking initial psychological responses to visual images. We don't control that. It's instant. We can and should control things after that point. Whether we learn to bounce our eyes away, come up with practical solutions to "flee fornication," or whatever that looks like.

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought so!

I don't think she has to be necessarily loose to process like a man. It's just a personality, for whatever background reasons, that makes her process the same way.

I think these women have emotional issues. Refer to my post earlier about my co-worker.

I think science would say it's pretty clear in male/female DNA. The distinctions are real, not perceived.

It's because now I'm alone and I see all these wives complaining and not putting much into their marriage and it saddens me.

Oh, yeah. Marriage is hard work on both sides.

PO, you believe personality (which you earlier said was shaped by one's environment and culture) can override psychological hard wiring?
