Goodbye For A While

Judging from my low numbers of visitors and no comments being made, I'm going to close this blog down for awhile.  I regret that I haven't been able to make this interesting enough to build any sort of loyal fan base.  I will try again sometime in the future, probably not until after the holidays.

Have a wonderfully happy holiday season!

"Should I Stay or Should I Go?"

I started off with my blogs for a couple of reasons.  One was because I wanted to get myself in the habit of writing.  I want to be able to do some serious writing at some point.  Unfortunately, it seems that I am so brain dead by the end of the work day, that I just can't come up with anything that profound or creative for my blogs.  So it seems that I have failed in that respect.  The other reason was I thought it might enable me to make some money.  I knew I would have to have advertisements added to be able to do that.  Unfortunately, not only am I brain dead by the end of the work day, but it seems that I am just physically unable to keep up with anything anymore.  So months and months have gone by, and I still have not made any type of move toward getting any ads up.  Plus it will cost me more than I have to get any ads added anyway.  So it seems that truly I am keeping up on my blogs for no good reason at all anymore.  I haven't really established any type of following, at least according to the stats provided with the blogs.  So I feel now that I am at a crossroads.  Do I bother to continue?  Does anyone care?  Judging from the stats, no one really does.  So there seems to be little point in my continuing with my blogs.  I am disappointed, but it seems silly to continue to invest so much time every day on something that no one really cares about.  So right now, I am leaning toward discontinuing my blogs.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

"I'm Going To Bed"

Okay I see two sides to this.  The guy knows what he wants to do and has already done all his stuff ahead of time.  Therefore he can just go to bed.  The girl sees many things that still need to be done, and may say she's going to bed, but she really isn't.  She shouldn't say she is going to bed until she's done with all that other stuff!  (Okay weak, I know, but trying to play devil's advocate here!)

Do Women Need Bad Guys?

Okay is this really what is needed, women to "experience" a bad guy so she knows what a good guy really is?  Or is this license for bad guys to be bad, their rationalization and justification for being bad?  Please.  I think most women are intelligent enough to get when a man is good to her or bad to her.  I don't think you need to have the comparison to get that.  Am I wrong, ladies?  Please feel free to comment!

Tired Of All The Sacrifices With No Gain?

Do you think this is true?  In some ways, I think it may be.  I know I personally feel like I give and give and give, and I feel I have nothing left in me.  But I don't really feel like that in any kind of personal relationship that I have, at least not with people who are closest with me.  The exception would be this one creepy girl at work who is only out to shine a light on herself.  But that's another story.  I feel that the relationships in which I am giving my all for the other person, generally I am getting at least something back, if not half, if not more.  I think for me it is more my life in general, it's my status (or lack there of) that is what is impacting me.  I work my tail off, I always have.  You work, and you work, and you work, and yet you get further and further behind.  So in that way, I feel like I give my all and get nothing in return.  But I'm not sure I have that same feeling about my personal relationships.  What about you?  Have you experienced this?  Does it seem dependent on gender, or are we pretty equal in that department, as the quote indicates?  I'd love to hear what you think!

Can You Cope?

Okay, what do you think of this quote?  Do you agree?  Disagree?  I was never a huge Willard Scott fan.  It's nothing personal, I just think his enthusiasm rubbed me the wrong way and came across as phony to me.  But he was always nice with the centenarians.

So what do you think?  Can women cope better than men or vice verse?  Does it depend on the situation, and if so, do you have particular situations in mind?  I'd love to hear what you think!

Yes, but aren't women more likely to admit they feel pain than men?  Don't men tend to keep it to themselves?  They don't want to appear weak or otherwise inadequate.  Doesn't that go against everything that men are told they are supposed to be?

"Two Different Tween Worlds"

Some interesting differences pointed out between girls and boys in the "tween" years (8-12).  I question the validity of the statements of boys being so binary.  While they do seem to answer questions only "yes" or "no", I have found that even this age group and even this gender is well able to multitask.  I believe the multitasking ability in the younger generations is incredible.

Do you agree or disagree with my thoughts on this, or with the posted article?  I'd love to hear your thoughts!  Please feel free to comment!

BOYS vs GIRLS: the gender differences of #inbeTWEENers

Posted on April 26, 2013

Tweens are often termed the ‘inbetweeners’, caught between the kiddie world that’s focused on fantasy/play and the fledgling world of teenagerdom that’s about self expression within the group. Marketers looking to engage with tweens in todays digital environment need to understand that there are huge gender differences between boys and girls aged 8-12.

...

Put simply tween girls are all about the social context, playing in co-operation with their friends as they do things online. Once they hit 12-13yrs however, this co-operation turns into competition. We’re seeing the new digital trend of Instagram beauty pageants where girls post selfies and compete with each other as to who’s hot or not.

...

On the flipside, unsurprisingly, tween boys are about adventure, action, gadgets. They’re visual rather than being verbal focused in their interaction. Their gaming world has trained them to focus on a hero character as the social context is less important. They want brands to be quick and to the point, bold colours and graphics and get excited by symbols of achievement as they compete with their friends in everything. Tween boy world is binary – yes or no and they are extremely single tasked focused.

...

Maybe Women Are More Shallow Than We Thought

Women prefer good-looking men to high-earning men.

May 11, 2010 — Restructure!

Women prefer physically attractive men to high-earning men:

When male geeks talk about what (heterosexual) women want in men, they typically assert that women evolved to be attracted to a man’s resources, while men evolved to be attracted to a woman’s physical attractiveness. (Sometimes, this evolutionary psychology argument is used to justify the gender gap in earnings; they argue that men earn more than women because men’s evolutionary fitness depends on earning money, while women’s evolutionary fitness allegedly does not.) Such male IT geeks then complain that their difficulty attracting women must because they are “low status” males who do not make enough money, even when IT is a lucrative industry.

In reality, however, what women and men look for in a partner are pretty much the same. Perhaps those male IT geeks whofalsely believe that women are attracted to “alpha male” jerks should work on their physical appearance and personality.

Men vs Women: Brain Connectivity

This is fascinating.  I wonder why a difference in gender would lead to a consistent difference in brain connectivity (or vice verse).   It certainly also helps to explain why men and women seem to be so different in so many things.  I would like to also see a similar study conducted on homosexual individuals.  Does the difference in connectivity have to do with the biological, physical differences between genders regardless of sexual orientation?  Or is there an emotional and/or psychological component to this?  What do you think?

A More Contemporary Interpretation

Here's an interesting interpretation of various gender continuums by Sam Killermann.  He's apparently even written a book about this.  Perhaps this is the mark of contemporary gender roles.  What do you think?

Men vs Women: Childcare

Technically this is about men vs women in households where the woman is the breadwinner.  But in spite of being the breadwinner, it appears that women still tend to do more of the childcare than the men in the family.  It would be interesting to compare this to families in which the male is the breadwinner, where we assume the women do much more of the childcare than the men.  How does it work in your family?  My mother always worked, as did my father.  And certainly my mother did all the childcare.  Although that was a different generation.  Certainly today men are more likely to be involved in the childcare than men of previous generations.  And it seems like you have a lot of dual-earning families these days, much more so than before.  It would be interesting to see how the percentages below would change if you threw in statistics about daycare-type situations.
