These are some differences between men and women that are not based on prejudice, but on science!
MYTH OR REALITY?: Men are more affected by stress than us
According to a study carried out by American researchers in Philadelphia (USA) and published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, the brain of women is more sensitive to the action of a hormone that orchestrates the body’s response to stress; that is, female neurons are more likely than male neurons to react and trigger the stress process since men can adapt their neurons to resist its effects.
MYTH OR REALITY?: The smell of garlic is a passion killer for both sexes…
Garlic could have not only health benefits but also attractiveness. Thus, according to an experiment carried out by a team of scientists from the Charles University in Prague (Czech Republic) and the University of Stirling (United Kingdom), the body odor of men who regularly eat garlic is very provocative for women because subjects who ate garlic or garlic capsules were perceived as much more attractive than those who had not.
MYTH OR REALITY?: Men are better at math
According to a study carried out by scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) with more than 1,200,000 people, there is no distinction between men and women when it comes to dealing with numbers, geometry and arithmetic. Stereotypes are the only ones that champion these differences.
MYTH OR REALITY?: They have more sexual fantasies than us.
Both alike. A study carried out by researchers at the University of Granada (Spain) showed that there are no significant differences between the sexual fantasies that men and women usually experience, since both fantasize about intimate or romantic aspects in which the partner is evoked or loved person.

MYTH OR REALITY?: women talk more than men
In this case the myth is true. A team of neuroscientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (USA) concluded that women talk more than men, attributing this extreme to the fact that the areas of the brain related to speech, in the female brain, have 30% more FOXP2, known as language protein, compared to the male brain.
MYTH OR REALITY?: There are fewer female astronauts than men due to discrimination
There are fewer female astronauts because the threshold of exposure to space radiation for women is lower than for men, since by having more organs that are susceptible to diseases such as cancer (breasts, ovaries), their chances of developing diseases increase between 1 and 19%, as explained by NASA. Thus, health is the reason that limits space missions with female astronauts.
MYTH OR REALITY?: The male brain is slightly larger than the female brain.
Reality. The male brain is larger. This was determined by a study by the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) that revealed that the brain of men is, on average, between 8% and 13% larger than that of women. Furthermore, the male brain contains 6.5 times more gray matter and 10 times less white matter.
MYTH OR REALITY?: Men sweat more than us
Sweating helps the body perform more during exercise by accelerating the body’s cooling effect. Well, a team of scientists at the Human Performance Research Laboratory at Osaka International University in Japan found that women perspire less efficiently, so they sweat less than men. The difference in sweat between the genders becomes more pronounced the more exercise intensity increases, hence, in general, men have more body fluids than women and dehydrate less easily.
MYTH OR REALITY?: Women’s brains are capable of distinguishing more colors than men’s
The female mind is capable of discerning a far superior range of colors. From fuchsia to magenta, from pistachio to olive green or from burgundy to garnet, research published in the journal Biology of Sex Differences, showed that women are better at differentiating colors, perceiving color nuances with great ease.
MYTH OR REALITY?: Men have better memory than women
Who has better memory? An investigation carried out by scientists at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom) with 4,500 participants between 49 and 90 years of age showed that women outperform men in terms of ability to memorize data. Of course, education is also important, since the participants who left school before the age of 16 made 20% more memory errors than the rest of the volunteers.
MYTH OR REALITY?: Men are better oriented than women
The myth or stereotype in this case is fulfilled. Men are better oriented than women. This was demonstrated by an experiment by Norwegian neuroscientists whose participants had to find their way around a three-dimensional virtual labyrinth. The conclusions showed that men arrived at their destination earlier, were able to take more shortcuts and oriented themselves much more with the cardinal points to locate themselves than women. This is because in men the hippocampus is more activated, in which the location intervenes. In women, the frontal cortex is activated.
MYTH OR REALITY? Women are less sensitive to pain
It is totally false. Women feel the pain no less. Although it is not easy to discern if women physiologically feel more pain or if they recognize it more, the truth is that according to research from Stanford University in California (USA), women perceive pain more intensely than men. mens. This pain appears more concentrated in neck, back, joint and migraine problems.
