Ever wonder why women, once they took on the role of breadwinner, became more stressed out and, thus, less happy?
The reason may be politically inconvenient, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
Women have a fraction of the amount of testosterone men do, and testosterone is in part responsible for why men are able to be single focused and get energized from it as a result.
That’s not how it works for most women. They become drained when they try to focus so intently on one thing and try to screen out everything else.
Most women cannot block out the details of life. They feel compelled to address more than one thing at a time since that is how their brains work. So when they try and do things the “male” way—i.e. go to the office and focus exclusively on that for 8 or 10 hours—they become overwhelmed. They can’t stop thinking about everything else they have to do.
Of course, to hear the media tell it, this predicament is men’s fault. If men would just do their share women could get it all done! But that’s not the way it works.
Andre Paradix of Project Equinox is back to talk with Suzanne about this massive difference between women and men and how knowing, and accepting, this difference will improve your relationship overnight. If you let it.
