Men Vs Women


Based on the way genes are formulated in humans, things are perceived differently in men and women. May it be pain, emotions, senses or anything for that matter, there is always a subtle difference in gender.

How is pain perceived in men and women? Is pain experienced the same between genders? Well, research has shown that pain is experienced differently between men and women. Nervous systems processes pain information differently and acts on it differently between genders. Women get pain, they take painkillers and move on with what they are doing. Men on the other hand, have to protest saying that they are machos and can deal with pain. They wait, experiencing pain, stressed and then they go for the pills anyways.

It is like when men get lost while driving but don't want to stop by and ask for directions. They know it all and can figure it all by themselves. It is their in-built gene of 'knowing it all'. Women on the other hand, will ask and make sure what they know is correct and confirm it, even if they have done the same things or been that route many times. It is their gene of 'doing it right'.
