Men and women can be so different. You can see this in the little things as well as the important stuff. Here are just a few examples which weāve noticed.
So, men and women...
1. Undress differently

Men and women take off their clothes in different ways. Most often, men put their arms behind their shoulders, pulling their top away from their spine using their collar. Women cross their arms in front, pulling off their clothes whilst gripping the hem and turning them inside out as they do so. Men might use either method, but women only use the latter. This isnāt because weāre taught to undress differently; instead itās the result of the fact that most womenās clothing is more close fitting, and using the āmaleā method just doesnāt work.
2. Show their hands differently
When asked to display their hands, men (provided theyāve got nothing to hide!) will always show you their palms, whereas women for some reason always proffer you the back of their hands.
3. Throw balls differently
Men usually throw balls from above and behind their head, whilst women throw them upwards from below and whilst holding it with both hands in front of them. Why? No one knows!
4. Yawn differently

Paris Hilton and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair
More often than not, men cover their mouth with a fist when yawning, whilst women use an open palm ā probably, because itās considered to look more elegant and āfeminineā.
5. Hear sounds differently
Women have a keener sense of hearing than men, and are experts at picking up high frequency sounds. Amazingly, the female brain is āprogrammedā to hear a childās cry, whilst a majority of men will sleep right through it as if nothing happened. And if a kitten meows somewhere, a woman is far more likely to hear it than a man. However, equally fascinatingly, men can discern the direction from which a sound is coming better than women. So heāll tell her where the kitten is hiding!
6. Sit differently

Jennifer Lopez and Johnny Depp
Women typically sit with their legs crossed, often wrapping their legs around each other. Men usually prefer to spread themselves out, placing their knees far apart. In part, this is because the majority of men and women wear different kinds of clothing; itās not usually considered a good idea for a woman to sit in the āmale positionā if she is wearing a short skirt. For men, on the other hand, their instinctive sitting position has its roots in evolution: this is the typical pose of an āalpha maleā demonstrating his masculinity.
7. Distinguish between right and left differently
Men never mix up right and left, as the more active part of their brain is either the right, or the left hemisphere ā never both. Yet if you ask most women which is their left hand, you wonāt get an instantaneous answer. Often they will look at a ring, or think about which hand they write with, in order to remind themselves. This is why men all around the world complain that women canāt tell left from right!
8. See differently

Men can see clearly ahead, and far into the distance. You might say they have eyes like binoculars. This is called tunnel vision ā the vision of a hunter capable of tracking his prey. This is why men sometimes accuse women of hiding things from them; even if their socks, or underwear, or car keys and wallet, or something in the fridge, are all where they should be, a man cannot pick them out straightaway if they arenāt in his direct field of vision. In contrast, women have much better peripheral vision. Itās argued that this is the result of the fact that a woman needs to see whatās around her as much as she can, in order to keep track of her children and quickly detect any danger to them. These differences can have serious consequences. Insurance companies claim that women are less likely to be involved in road accidents where their car is hit from the side. They are however far more likely to scratch their car when trying to parallel park, since they have a poorely developed sense of space.

Charlie Sheen and Scarlett Johansson
Women usually fasten a bathrobe tightly around the waist, whereas men tie it at the hips. Some say this is because women want to emphasise their figure even when theyāre wearing baggy clothes, whilst men donāt care at all about this. Others think itās just more comfortable for both. What do you think?
10. Interpret feelings in different ways
Itās said that a woman can interpret visual, verbal, and all other kinds of signals people give them almost instantaneously. When a woman walks into a room full of unknown people, she will often observe the latter closely and will be able to work out who gets on well with whom, whoās fallen out with whom, and what someoneās mood is. When a man walks into a room, he will quickly scan his environment, determine where the exits are, search for familiar faces, and try to work out who is a potential threat or enemy. Moreover, men generally cannot understand when a woman feels offended unless she tells him directly, yet she usually expects him to read the subtle signals she is giving out instead.
11. Deal with tasks differently
Men are generally capable of concentrating on only a single task at a given moment. If you try to talk to him while heās shaving, thereās every chance heāll cut himself. In contrast, many people believe women can cope with several things at the same time. Once again, the reason for this lies in the varying ways in which men and womenās brains function, and the influence of ancient, socially-determined roles. Thousands of years ago, if a man didnāt concentrate on the hunt, his family could go hungry. And if a woman concentrated entirely on picking berries and roots, her children might end up in danger.
12. Cope with problems differently

Drew Barrymore in āScreamā; Edward Norton in āFight Clubā
Often, when a woman has a problem, she will talk about it with her mom, her best friend, her husband, even with the person sitting next to her on the bus. Sheāll write about it in her diary, sheāll send a text message to someone revealing all, or sheāll leave posts on social networks. The more she discusses her problem, the easier it is for her. A problem shared with others doesnāt feel so difficult to cope with. When a man has a problem, on the other hand, heās far more likely to lie in front of the TV and sulk in silence. He copes with stress by distracting himself from his problems. And when he feels calmer, he startās searching for a solution to whateverās wrong ā and he does it on his own. Coming to him with advice and suggestions will just annoy him.
13. Remember information differently
A womanās memory is like a huge cupboard, with dozens of shelves and where everything is in its right place. Women accurately retain information about everyone they encounter and everything that happens ā who loves what food, whose birthday is on what date, what her mother asked her to do for her and what her child needs for school. Men, on the other hand, generally remember only the things which they consider to be really important, which often leads them to accuse women of filling their heads with completely irrelevant information.
Remember, thereās no need to worry too much about these differences ā on the contrary, we should be glad they exist. As is often said, opposites attract, and itās this which creates the magic we all know as love.
