Why are women generally more sensitive than man?

Answer 1

Hormones. Men are hormonally designed to be strong -- primitive man was responsible for hunting food, building shelter and tools, etc to support his family. Women are hormonally designed to be sensitive and caring -- so they can more effectively care for children. So you can blame it all on evolution, intelligent design ... whatever you believe in.

Answer 2

Women are kind of designated caretakers. They are the ones who physically create other human beings. Generally speaking women have a higher pain threshold. Watch as a woman laughs when she is nervous. After carrying the burden of the ups and downs of having to look a certain way to be acceptable to the males...usually they try very very hard to do the best they can to excel at bringing happiness into life; and not just for their own egos. Hurah for woman who are sensitive enough to be strong.
Men love it and other women are usually thrilled to see another woman living life well... Sensitivity is also compassion at best.


One Flaw In Women
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.
Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Answer 3

Women are not more sensitive than men. The dominant socialization paterns have boys taught from infancy not to show their emotions "be a big boy and don't cry". Women are told it's ok to cry to feel to share. We socialize children differently.

People still use pink and blue. While genderfication is something that happens less often than in the past, it still goes on. We could say it is hormonal for boys to be more aggressive or girls more emotional but the truth is they feel the same. Sensitivity is a culturally baised attribute.

Socialization makes us who we are and all that natural does is give us tendancies. Thus a boy might have a tendency to aggression but favour sensitivity. A girl may have a tendancy to agression and not be socialized to sensitivity and non-aggression thus becoming more aggressive. The truth is we are what we are taught.

Answer 4

its a FALACY!!!

women are not more sensitive.. but they are stronger!!

YES women are emotionally stronger than men by a long margin which is why men are being manipulated into believing they are deficient when in actual fact it is our female population who is currently letting the side down.. I often believe this is why we have a growing number of gay "emotionally weak" men.. and a large number of "boilers" ie. career women still single over age 35..

I'm extremely charitiable as a person.. and known to be extremely generous.. I have never met a woman who wants ot join me on my journey.. and actually do the work with me.. they all want the results without doing the work..

My work involves loving people and giving.. I also thought I would easily find a female ot work with me.. sadly I still work alone..

Answer 5

Sensitive men were bred out of the species because they hesitated before shoving the spear into the Woolly Mammoth. They became flesh pancakes.

Unfortunately, they're back, it seems.

As far as sensitive women, that's a myth. You should have asked, "Why are so many women more psychologically manipulative than men?"

Answer 6

A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does, but men are just as sensitive, and in some ways more sensitive, than women are.
"Over all, it's woman's nature to nurture."

SORRY YOU DIDN'T LIKE MY ANSWER, BUT TRUE IS TRUE! WE WERE TAUGHT THIS IN PSYCHOLOGY. I REALIZE IT SOUNDS LIKE IT NOW, BUT IT WASN'T A RIP AGAINST MEN, JUST STATING WHAT I KNOW.... SORRY IF YOU WERE INSULTED!

Answer 7

Man used to operate the left brain for thinking meanwhile woman used to operate right brain

Answer 8

We're not more sensitive than men, we just have the guts to show what we're feeling without feeling embarrassed about it.

Answer 9
