Sex Scenes

I think we are trying to corral each sex into a box so that we can feel happy we figured out what is going on in the minds of each. I personally don't think it matters how many books we read. Each individual is shaped by their background, i.e., family, friends, church background, books they've read, movies they have seen, school experience, jobs, etc., etc.

Each person is going to become the person they are by what shaped them.

So, in short, I don't know what ALL women think. I know what I think and sometimes I don't think a thing and sometimes I do. Sometimes I do is rare, but it's still there, just to be honest.

That's why all of these various books don't appeal to me. If we haven't figured it out by now, we never will.

It's like reading Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, IMO. One of my sisters was really in to that years ago. I told her, "You could close your eyes, pick a page and find something that you thought described you." She stopped reading it. LOL!

No, we're not. I think some are being extremely stubborn about admitting there are clear, distinct ways each gender is hard-wired. This isn't a blanket explanation, this is understanding the psychology behind it.

When you say we are shaped by books, movies, school, experience, life, etc... these are cultural shapers that affect our personality, value system, etc... What I'm referring to is physiological.

My question was: Do you think men and women are processing things the same way? I used the example "the look." I'm trying to learn something about those who have interacted so far, and the perspectives that inform their conclusions.

I think that some men and women process things the same and some do not.

Are their fundamental psychological differences in how men and women process visual information?

Fair enough. It's your perception.

It is my perception. My husband and I have different personalities and backgrounds. If I was not living for God, I would have a harder time being faithful to him than he would to me. That is where I get my perception.

For the most part, yes.
