What is the single most important difference in the way a male and a female mind works?

Answer 1

Men only use one half of there brain where as a woman use both sides of the brain. This makes them more emotional

Geary suggests that women use language skills to their advantage. "Females use language more when they compete. They gossip, manipulate information," he says. Geary suggests that this behavior, referred to as relational aggression, may have given females a survival advantage long ago. "If the ability to use language to organize relationships was of benefit during evolutionary history, and used more frequently by women, we would expect language differences to become exaggerated," he tells WebMD. Women also use language to build relationships, theorizes Geary. "Women pause more, allow the other friend to speak more, offer facilitative gestures," he says.

When it comes to performing activities that require spatial skills, like navigating directions, men generally do better. "Women use the cerebral cortex for solving problems that require navigational skills. Men use an entirely different area, mainly the left hippocampus -- a nucleus deep inside the brain that's not activated in the women's brains during navigational tasks," Geary tells WebMD. The hippocampus, he explains, automatically codes where you are in space. As a result, Geary says: "Women are more likely to rely on landmark cues: they might suggest you turn at the 7-11 and make a right at the church, whereas men are more likely to navigate via depth reckoning -- go east, then west, etc."

Answer 2

The single most important difference in the way a male and a female mind works is that men are more literal. If a woman says, 'You never take me out anymore'. She really means, I want to go out more often. While a man will think. 'That's not true, I just took you out last Saturday .. two weeks ago ... that's not a NEVER ANYMORE!

Answer 3

The most important thing both women and men HAVE in common is we both typically think the opposite sex is the one that is crazy. But this question isn't about that--although I've noticed that trend in all the answers before me.

I'd say the most important difference would probably be in the way both sexes handle emotions, particularly aggression. I'm not referring to anger or frustration... aggression is a unique emotion that seems to define the sexes at opposite ends of the reaction spectrum.
