Women ... They are often blamed for the lack of logic, excessive love for shopping and gossip. Men can never understand them. No wonder, because they are too different. We can say that men and women have nothing in common.
Even if you do not take into account the physiology and features of appearance, you can find many discrepancies in the performance of daily routine affairs, in behavior. They differently fasten a zipper on jeans, yawn, turn around, insert a thread into a needle ... You can list it for a long time, but it’s easier to understand that representatives of different sexes will not perform any action in the same way.
This article will discuss the most interesting facts about women and girls. This information will be useful for both men and women. Here are collected gender differences and just interesting information about the girls. Let's get started.
10. Vocabulary is richer than that of men
Women often have richer vocabulary than men. This is a scientifically proven fact. The cerebral hemispheres function differently.
A woman’s brain is smaller, but it has much more nerve fibers and, as a result, more intercellular connections. For the speech in men, the left hemisphere is responsible, in women in the right, the residual function is also preserved.
However, it cannot be said that these differences have a great influence on the formation of vocabulary. A much greater role is played by the upbringing and education of a person than his belonging to one or another sex.
9. In the speech of women there are more adjectives, in men - verbs
There is such a concept of “gender linguistics”, which studies the features of written and spoken language of men and women.
Men prefer to use more verbs. The specifics are important for them. Their speech is clear and dynamic. The sentences are simple, they do not contain comparisons, metaphors and other language tools.
Women cannot do without adjectives. How else can you convey paints, shades and details? They build complex sentences, their speech is florid and beautiful.
8. Life expectancy longer than men
In Russia, the average life expectancy of women is longer than that of men. The figures are impressive: 78.5 and 68.6 years. A similar trend is developing in other countries.
There are a number of reasons that affect life expectancy: genes, hormonal changes. Not the last role is played by lifestyle, professional activity.
Also, women are much more attentive to their health. They are more likely to undergo preventive examinations, are less interested in alcohol, do not like to take risks, and do not endanger their lives.
7. About 95% are dissatisfied with their appearance
If you ask all women in the world the question: "Do you find yourself beautiful?", In most cases the answer will be no. About 95% of the fairer sex are dissatisfied with their appearance, recently this figure is increasing more and more.
Not surprisingly, television and the Internet are doing their job. Women see beauties with perfect shapes, with luxurious hair, with make-up and in expensive clothes. They do not think that this is just a picture, and Photoshop works wonders.
No need to focus on celebrities and stars of social networks, it is better at this time to take care of their appearance and remember that each person is individual.
Interesting fact: employees of the University of Birmingham (UK) conducted a study whose results are astounding. Only 2% of girls with physical appearance live in the world "like from Instagram". Everyone else uses filters.
6. Distinguish tastes better than men
Women are significantly superior to men in the sense of smell and taste.. True, this statement is true only in the case of "sweet" foods. Men more clearly feel the bitter and salty taste. This fact is very easy to explain, you just need to look into the distant past.
Men went in search of new food, and this feature helped them to distinguish edible products from inedible ones. Women collected gifts of nature (berries, fruits). With the help of their taste buds, they could understand whether it was time to harvest the “crop,” that is, the ripeness of the fruit.
5. Blink twice as often as men
This fact is not scientifically confirmed, but it also has a place to be. Scientists could not explain why women blink more often than men. There is an assumption that this is due to excitement, shyness, constraint.
When a person does not feel at ease, he often begins to blink. Women are more prone to such emotions. They often do not believe in themselves, worry about nothing and attach great importance to every little thing.
4. The richest women in the world inherited wealth from men
Now no one is surprised when a woman surpasses a man in success. Representatives of the weaker sex hold high posts, organize a business and show excellent results.
Yet the richest women in the world inherited their wealth from men.
To make you understand what figures are in question, take a look at the top three richest women in the world:
- Liliane Bettancourt (daughter of the founder of L’Oreal) - $ 44.6 billion,
- Alice Walton (her father owned a Walmart supermarket chain) - $ 44.6 billion,
- Mackenzie Bezos (wife of an American entrepreneur, divorce) - $ 39 billion.
3. In the UAE, twice as many men as women
All women who did not have a “prince” in their homeland should pay attention to foreigners. For example, in the UAE, 2 times more men than women. In total, 10 007 699 people live in the country, of which 6 952 174 are men and 3 055 525 are women. In percentage terms, it looks like this: 69.5 against 30.5%.
It’s just dangerous to travel here alone. That is why travel agencies advise women without companions to choose another place to stay. In the UAE, rape often occurs, although much less criminal cases are brought.
If a criminal case is opened, an article may be a surprise for a woman, according to which they will condemn both participants of the precedent - “Sexual relations outside of marriage”.
2. The highest birth rate in Niger
Most often, Niger women experience the joy of motherhood. 7.25 births per woman. This is the highest rate in the world. The reasons for this trend are more than enough. One of the first is early marriage. In Niger, childless couples are considered unhappy. Women give birth because "it is so customary."
There are many other reasons that encourage them to think about children over and over again. Some are afraid of divorce, others fear that the husband will bring another wife. Also, Niger women are thus trying to strengthen their position in the family, especially if the man has more wives.
The birth rate is so high that the authorities even try to influence this factor with the help of laws and restrictive measures.
1. In Israel, women are called up for service
In this country, women are considered military liable. Regardless of gender, every citizen of Israel, upon reaching 18 years of age, must “pay back” the state. Girls serve 24 months, boys - 36 months.
Representatives of the weaker sex who do not want to serve in the army can take a deferment (religious considerations, pregnancy). So does about a third of the women of Israel. Although the authorities say that there is nothing to worry about. Women are not sent to combat units; there is no threat to life.
