Question

why are women more open to spiritual or metapysical type events? most men will say BULLSH*T!

but women will say perhaps?maybe?who knows for sure?

I count myself as open minded to these things but I know as a male I seem to be in the minority.

Answer 1

Men tend to be more rational, oriented into physical world, while women tend to be more emotional, which in itself provokes assessing the situation based on intuition more than with sheer brain power. This doesn't mean that women don't use brain. It means, that besides the brain, women use intuition WAY more than men do, that's why they are more open to planes of existence which cannot be perceived by the sheer rational though.

Answer 2

Women i feel have a greater sense of spirituality for sure, i think the above answer is good. I think women always have and will always be far more open minded to these types of subjects than men im not saying women are better just that they are different to men in this sense, and thank God it would be a boring world if we were all the same :)

Answer 3

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real
sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that
feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,
Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8).

The Upanishads call the emotional component of mind as
Chitta and the rational component of mind as Manas. In
general, women excell in Chitta and men excell in
Manas.

Modern psychologists say that passions have the same
limitations of senses as they tend toward immediate
emotional discharge. Chitta is the quick acting
component of the mind which can be termed as leftist or
negative thinking part. It is called negative because
some psychologists felt that it separates the received
information into pieces, contains unintentional and
contradictory ideas, and lacks internal organisation,
inner consistency, and concrete solutions. On the
contrary, some philosophers thought that this is the
'idealistic view' of thinking about a problem. This
center can handle divergent thoughts like a
multi-channel parallel processing hardware in a super
computer. It is the seat of the element Water. It
controls the processing of liquids in the body and
interaction of the body with the liquids out side the
body. Chitta means emotion or intuition. This center is
connected with instincts, urges, impulses, desires,
imagination, sentiments, passions, caring, pleasure,
exploration, unconventional ideas, moods, insight,
superstitions, immodesty, immorality, analysis of
details, concern about particular features, capacity to
find novel relationships, unrestrained expressions
connected with body or mind, molding of past
experiences into new constellations of meanings,
creation of artistic, poetic and musical works and the
like. Seeing a good work of painting or listening to
music of one's liking will set waves of emotion in
Chitta center. This center helps us to imagine things
in new ways. It is known that lighter side of life like
fun may contain silly and ridiculous situations. An
artist is said to go to the extremes to divorce himself
from environmental constraints. Such is the way in
which Chitta works. This center has seeds of past
memories and can access Jnaana center for more details
of each memory. It controls the sensitivity of the
sense-organs. If the vitality of this center gets
reduced due to any reason, the sensitivity of the
sense-organs also gets reduced. Chitta can be compared
to a convex lens - it provides insight for the subtle. It's
working is similar to Differentiation in mathematics.
It helps to observe all the minor details, and each
minor detail is given very high importance.

Chitta of women can sense many things that
men fail to sense.

Answer 4

I think women are just more spiritually open than men.Most men would have to see something to believe it, whereas i think we women just accept that there some things which cannot be seen. maybe we are more in tune with our intuition.
