TEN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN
We all know that women are just different from men. But exactly how different are they?
Here are some specific differences between men and women ...


1. There are many advantages of being a woman. The most important difference might be that they live about five years longer on average.

2. A big advantage of being a man is that you earn more. According to some estimates, full-time female employees earn 17% less than men. Over a lifetime, this works out to more than $500,0000 dollars.

3. According to a "retail psychologist," men and women who go shopping together as a couple can usually do so for 72 minutes before they start to fight. The man will have had enough by then -- but
4, Women talk almost three times as much as men. Women speak an average of 20,000 words each day -- and males just 7,000. "Women have an eight-lane superhighway for processing emotion," explained Dr. Luann Brizendine, the author of the study, "while men have a small country road."

5. 84% of women say that, when it comes to buying products to help them stay young, money is no object. The average woman spends $1,000 each year on gyms, creams, and treatments.

6. On average, women start to worry about wrinkles, gray hair, and crow's feet at the age of 28.

7. Seven percent of guys have lied about the size of their package in order to tempt someone to sleep with them. Guys are three times more likely than women to lie about their "vital statistics," with just 2% of females lying about their bra size.

8. Men are more likely to remember their first car than who they first kissed. Forty percent of guys surveyed remembered the license plate of their first vehicle -- and 25% had even given it a name.

9. Men are more likely to believe in love at first sight than women. The average man claims to have fallen in love 2.9 times -- and the average woman just 2.2 times.

10. Both men and women lie about how many people they've slept with. As you would guess, women underestimate the number and men pad the numbers. On average, Americans have about 9 sex partners in their lives. Men claim that they've gone to bed with 13 women -- and women claim only 7.


Watch this video and "laugh your abs off!!" That's right, Laughing you abs of is a new exercise craze. I don't know about my abs but I was laughing my posterior off!







Kerry Beard and her Laugh Away team are quite serious about the health benefits of laughing. They have created a series of exercise DVDs based on the benefits of laughter. Their goal is to provide the opposite experience of a grunting, unhappy exerciser slogging away the gym and to replace it with a laughter-filled daily workout regimen that gives both a mental and physical boost.

How true that women have an eight-lane super highway for their emotions! I like that term!

I end up processing things so many times generally that I confuse myself!

Oh my gosh! That laughing work out is hilarious! I suppose it makes sense. When I laugh for a long time my abs ache. But oh my gosh who would think of that?!

I wonder what he husband said one day when he came home to see his wife doing this...and saying she was going to quit her job to make videos of this!

Hmmm...

Some more male/female differences..

Women are more nurturing than men

Men are naturally more aggressive.

Women appreciate communicating face-to-face and talking and talking and talking...

Men can sit shoulder to shoulder with a person and not say a word for hours but walk away feeling like they just had a great conversation.

Lindsey, I was thinking as I was listening to this on the showgram last night... that is probably a sincere laugh as she's thinking "I can't believe I'm actually making money doing this. SUCKERS!!!"
