The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

The Female Brain by Louann Brizendine, M.D.

The front review says – Sassy, witty, reassuring, and great fun.
Since I was listening to the audiobook I wish I read that first as that all I’m going to see this books as… great female fun. Don’t get me wrong the book has insightful information but she tends to make excuses for females faults and emphasise males faults.

– It’s all about their hormones.
– Depression ratio increases in women once they start menstruating.
– Boys can retreat to alone time and women miss daily contact with people so they drop subjects like science.
– Women are naturally born with talents that include pacifying situations, reading faces, clairvoyance, etc.
– Lack of facial expressions are confusing to a girl, boys don’t worry about facial expression that much.
– The environment a girl is raised in for the first few months shapes her reality and view on life, sometimes through generations.
– At a certain age being attractive to boys is the most important thing.
– Oestrogen and progesterone are the reason girls hear the wrong thing or over sensitive.
– They talk more than men and have a bigger vocabulary because of that, go to bathrooms to exchange tips and tricks, secret codes etc.
– Boy hormones and psychological behaviour.
– Apparently females got to sleep and wake earlier than males. Not in my experience!
– Birth control pills can stabilise hormones if PMS and PMT gets too crazy.
– Reasons why women choose a mate and juggle dates etc.
– Men tend to fall in love at first sight more.
– Fear of breaking up creates obsessive behaviour; rejection hurts like physical pain so call when you are away.
– Single women first look for the nice guy, committed women look for manly hunks.
– For women’s orgasms neuro-chemical stars have to align, they need to unplug, 24 hours of foreplay.
– Sperm gets sucked up more if she orgasms 1 minute before and 45 minutes after he does.
– Increase in their testosterone levels increased sexual needs and masturbation frequency.
– Brain changes and shrinks as she moves to being a mom. It re-circuits to a mommy brain.
– She has to smell her baby within the first few minutes, all the baby’s smells imprint into her memory. Mommy brain has a baby GPS, they are more flexible adaptive and courageous.
– Daddy brains parallel mommy brains.
– Men can’t read emotions and are not comfortable with unhappy people as much as women and women have better memories.
– Men’s anger is stronger and quicker.
– Physical contact is needed to keep the mothering circuits connected, after menopause and kids leaving the house will disconnect the mommy brain.
