She Says Tomato, He Says, "What?"

What do you know? There are biological reasons why men act the way they do and why women do the things they do. It's kind of God's little joke on all of the straight people out there.

CNN has an interesting article on research about the biological actions behind what each sex does that drives the opposite sex crazy.

It's interesting, but I think they need to study same-sex couples and see how their theories play out.

For example, if testosterone cancels out the oxytocin that is released during sex that makes women want to cuddle, why do many gay men like to cuddle after sex? Our testosterone levels are the same as straight men. Granted, most like to cuddle as they fall asleep after sex, but cuddling is there, all the same.

My theory has more to do with body temperature. Personally, spooning is fun, but it is too hot to have someone that close to you for very long. I begin to feel like I"m burning up with all the body heat being reflected back.

I've also known a few lesbians who like action flicks more than romantic films, too. There is something more afoot than this article explains.

Now if they can explain male pattern blindness (not seeing the ketchup right in front of them in the refrigerator), then they may have something.
