So I was listen to the radio on the way home and it was John Tesh and he was giving tips about increasing female bullies at the work place. Of course I listen to see if I were getting bullied. I won't lie, I had a bit of relief to hear I wasn't. But he basically was saying women get bullied more since they actually pick up on the subtle things like smirks and such. I guess (men) we're too busy looking at the skimpy clothed women that we don't notice these things. Moral of the story is, women read into the little things too much.
Which leads to the main topic of this post. Every time I do something stupid and I have to justify it, why do I always say, because I'm a man. Or why is doing dangerous stuff manly? A portion of my childhood consisted of blowing stuff up and burning things. Why did I never see the girls do that? Are men just stupid and easily amused by fire or we just doing manly things? Are we too busy looking at the big fire or giant screen tv? How about the powerful guns and cars?

There's a lot of literature out there on why men are bigger risk takers, especially when young. I'm not the biggest fan of evolutionary psychology (seems like a bunch of just-so-stories to me) but EvPsych theories abound as to why men go after higher risk, higher reward activities. It's just peacocking for the ladies, since a man is physiologically capable of producing more offspring than a woman is.
wow...very good explanation. haha.
i like fire and how it burns stuff.
