Names are not backing up your conclusions. You call them references but that is not to do with what I was refering towards. You may as well give us book titles instead. Too much emphasising on your conclusions. Not enough thinking for yourself. No need to get defensive. This is not an argument. Just my comment.

Emotional expression is a skill. Not a weakness. Art is one of many examples. Carôusoul is merely confusing ability to utilize existing energy with the degree of control. In other words Carousoul may as well be telling you fuel for your car is weakness because you will crash. Yet we all know it has nothing to do with fuel. It is the driver that counts.

I see what you are saying now, sorry for the instinctual lash.

You are right; they are simply statements in that I was curious what the response would be, honestly. Your assertment that they are a team is exactly what I hold and was curious to see if others agree with.

As for the fear/pain tolerance thing; it is so convoluted that I almost don't even want to bother recollecting it, lol. Go watch a childrens sports game and compare differences between how they respond to pain and perhaps that will give a good example.

I certainly don't have Fear/Pain Tolerance! But you're right about women being socially agressive. When boys fall out they make up within like 5 minutes but girls remain arch rivals for years. It's funny .

You mean a high one?

The details with the fear/pain difference is convoluted and more marginally different than anything. It is not even really worth considering. Males tend to be sucks and females tend to seek help more.

Lol, you know what, I actually find it funny that gay peopel (yeah, gay people) have much less pain tolerance than straight guys. I mean, even if an insect touches an homosexual (and I also refer to myself here) they go crazy about it, just like an average woman would.

There are many other similarities hehe

Now back on topic. O'nus, brilliant thread. I really like the way you put things simple. I already knew about the physiological differences between men and women but it was pleasuring to read each of your posts

Another reason for me to take psychiatry at college

Kromoh raises an interesting point.

It is by no choice of ourselves, that we decide personal sexual preference.
At least no choice so conciously apparent.

So why do many homosexual males exhibit female-like tendancies?

Do people choose so consciously how they act?

I'd love an alternative perspective other than my own on this.

Hey Cloud, i know it may seem sometimes a bit exaggerated of gay people to act on things. But believe me, I do feel quite creeped in any circumstance. I say I'm a much better mom than most women I know, for example. You know those TV channels that show plastic surgeries? OMG that is hell on earth, really, it makes me so disgusted.And I say I'm also more empathic than the average guy - i often find myself even responding to the actors' emotions on TV. And finally, I'm not really physically violent, but I can really get to hate someone if they give me reasons to.

I know personal experience is mostly biased, but I'm basing this on comparison with other people

Gay men also have higher estrogen production than entirely heterosexual men.

Thus, you see residual "female-like" behaviour which is sooo stereotypical but fundamentally showing how culture has raised each gender.

Further, gay men also have varying brain-structures than heterosexual men. However, I can not think of any references to prove this, so I am not specifying.. (I think a thicker corpus callosum..)
