What is it that makes us so different? What can’t we find common ground and at the same time feel terrible when apart? Can psychology explain us everything?
In differentiating between men and women, in finding out roots of this difference, we should go back to the times of primitive society and mammoths. Man was always considered the head of the family (= herd) and his main function was to bring food and give good posterity. He was never at home; he spent nights and days hunting mammoths in order to maintain his family. And it was not an easy task. Whenever he came back home he tried to fecundate as many females as possible and with the feeling of a well done job came back to hunting!
Let’s compare the situation. If today men are accused of trying to have as many woman as possible, it is not their actual fault, these are our grand-grand-grand…fathers who are to blame. As there are some useless organs-rudiments in our body, in the same way we cannot get rid completely of that call of the wild. We try to be loyal to one woman, want to create a family, but deep in the soul we need time to “hunt a mammoth” and cannot help looking at other women. Those who are not that strong, give up, letting “the call of the wild” prevail and want to know other women as well.
Women on the other hand were always considered to be keepers of the hearth and their main function was always giving birth and taking care of their children. Besides, all the work about the house was theirs as well. That’s why our women are much stronger emotionally, can resist to hardships and do several things at a time. And men, who had to concentrate on a huge mammoth to stay alive, could do only one thing. Isn’t it the same today???
These are those things we cannot change. As they say, if you can’t beat them, join them! So let’s try to turn these peculiarities to our good account. It’s easier to know how to behave if you possess the information and can choose this or that line of behavior.
