Earlier I had a conversation with a friend about the differences between men and women. We often complain it is hard to understand the different gender. The far most common example is always about "friends".
She says: "Why is he always hang out with his buddies? Is he dating me or dating the buddies?"
He says: "Why she still complains even I am going out with a guy but not a girl?"
What is really holding us back from understanding each other? I would say that both men and women were created differently. That is something no one can change. But we could take time to understand each other.
This is something I have been reading some time ago.
- Man was formed from dust.
- Woman was formed from flesh.
- Man was placed in the garden alone.
- Woman was brought to the man so they could be together.
- Man was created with a need.
- Woman was created to fill a need.
- Man's job was to work.
- Woman's job was to help man with his work.
- Man's job was cognitive.
- Woman's job was emotive (meet the need of the man)
- Man gave woman her name.
- Woman received her name from him.
- Man's body was created to give a seed.
- Woman's body was created to give life.
Below are the gender roles that what we understand from the Bible. You may not be a Christian, but it's something relatively correct.
- Men need respect and support.There is no perfect human being, no one is superior, and no one is weaker. There is no perfect couple, but being in a couple, trust and understanding is the main key for the relationship to last. Understanding is in terms of knowing the behaviour and willingly to compromises yourself for the partner.
- Men are naturally self-oriented.
- Women need to be cherished.
- Women need security.
- Women need to be treated with tenderness and gentleness.
- Women are verbal creatures.
According to Genesis 2: 18-25 (The Creation of Eve)...
- Eve was made for man.
- Eve was made from the man.
- Eve was brought to the man.
- Eve was named by man.
- Man is the head; he is responsible for the woman.
Responsible is a very strong word, never use it unless you are ready to face all the consequences. Genesis 3:16-18 shows the effect of the curse on both Eve and Adam. Adam had to face the responsible and consequences that what Eve did.
p/s: Some may not agree with the statements above, but I could say majority of the men and women fall under this category.

well written and an interesting perspective.
i like the part where you wrote man is... woman is...
Of course knowing both gender is not that simple as written, but I guess those are the basic? or what a man and woman tend to be?
I thought it suppose to be..
- Man was created to fill a need.
- Woman was created with a need.
LOL? What makes you say that?
