pregnant lady = dumb lady???

Wednesday, April 25th, 2007

“Oh my god, I keep forgetting……..” Wondering why pregnancy will make ladies more dumb. According to researches done by sciencetists, pregnant ladies are more prone to short-term-memory-lost symptoms.

I came across this topic when one of my colleagues who is in her third trimester pregnancy, complaining about how she can’t focus at work.. I found it’s an interesting topic to discuss here, and make it a post of today.

The brains of pregnant women appear to shrink during late pregnancy, according to research which offers an explanation for cognitive problems some women complain of before and after giving birth. The doctors at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School in London found that it can take up to six months for the women’s brains to regain their full size.

Anita Holdcroft, the anaesthetist in charge of the study, said poor concentration, lack of co-ordination, and memory problems in late pregnancy may be linked to the changes in brain size she and her colleagues observed.

A set of three-dimensional images of the brains of 10 healthy women were taken, using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in late pregnancy, six to eight weeks after delivery, and then up to six months later. According to a report in New Scientist magazine, Dr Holdcroft and colleagues found that as the woman’s body and physiology returned to the non-pregnant state, their brains increased in size. It is possible that their brains were swelling from a normal state but this is unlikely, Dr Holdcroft told a meeting of the Physiological Society in Sheffield earlier this month. The findings follow a study of women who suffer very high-blood pressure - pre-eclampsia - in which a build-up of fluid causes swelling; potentially fatal seizures can follow. “We assumed that their brains would also swell but last year we found that they shrink,” Dr Holdcroft said. When the study was extended to healthy women, it was found that brain shrinkage appeared to be a normal feature of pregnancy. The investigators believe that the brain changes are more likely to be the result of changes in the volume of individual cells rather than in the quantity of brain cells, Dr Holdcroft told the magazine. In addition, the team found that the pituitary gland, which lies at the base of the brain, showed the opposite effect - increasing in size during pregnancy, when it is responsible for producing reproductive hormones - and then diminishing in size in the months after pregnancy.

After reading this article, be more merciful to pregnant ladies if they have offended you unintentionally. So do you still think that pregnant ladies = dumb ladies???

How to be a better man?? just being passionate would do?

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

A better man or a so-so man? I am sure every guy wants to be the best man, but first of all, how to be a better man? Don’t worry this post serves as a motivation to all of ya there. To guys, you have all of our supports; to women, guys are always the sweetest creature,next to women.

Guys are insensitive nowadays, maybe they are busy chasing materialism and giving less to their women,what they can fulfill in term of material but not time and care, how can we tell them to become a “better man”?  The reasons and some suggested possible acts are:

#1: Introduce him to some good men and encourage him to hang out with them.
Maybe he’ll fall in line with them. However, remember that the idea behind women’s equality is that it is wrong to force someone to be a certain way. So, all you can do is hope for the best. You know, you can lead the sexist horse to water, but you can’t make him get any smarter or something like that.

#2: To women, better is a matter of opinion.
Guys aren’t necessarily insensitive. Most guys I know just don’t like whiners. I define whining as complaining about something that you have intention to do something about.

Guys are all about getting things done by solving problems. If you bring up an issue then you better expect us to start thinking of ways to solve it. If you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining you’re then just going to annoy the guy.

#3: No it’s certainly not materialism. If a guy chases materialism he is
usually doing it to prove to a woman he can get it. The reason men care less is because women have shown us THEY care less as a result of feminism. Providership, which is what nice guys are good for is also a dead end. Women like the bad boys.

Men see it and it is not lost on us.

Couldn’t help but notice your definition of a better man is more or less “someone who can serve your needs better”. More and more of us are defining what makes a better man on our own terms these days. Why are we going to care about you, or what you think of us?

 #4: This is a comment from a guy. I think its very constructive. Guys are insensitive because they have to be. Testosterone makes male emotions generally more explosive than female emotions; that’s why “crimes of passion” are committed by men, and why authentic patriarchies preach that the healthy way to deal with passions is not to let them govern one’s actions.

Equality between the sexes begins with the recognition that both
sexes are equally prone to human good and human evil. To begin with the assumption that women are intrinsically morally superior to men, and then to define the terms of social equality in feminine terms, is no way to equality. 

When it comes to materialism, look at who controls most of the consumer spending in this country. Women are more competitive in the workplace. But men make most of the money because they subordinate the rest of their lives to their visions of success, and tend to define those visions not in terms of materialism, but in terms of personal
accomplishment. According to Gilligan, it’s women who define themselves more relationally, and competition per se is striving relationalized, apparently this works better at accomplishing things than striving as measured against other people.

When feminism becomes a dominant social force, as in the later Roman Empire and in the Restoration Era in England, competition prevails more than at other times. But feminist historians write their histories so as to ignore this, or any other evidence to the contrary of their prejudices. So again, the way to get men to be better men is to tell them not to lower themselves to the competitive level, and to explore masculinity in its traditional sense, and not to be distracted by its superficial, feminized, and modern form.

Do you think this is a criteria of an  ideal man??

Women: I just want you to understand me better..

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Woman: How come you never try to understand me huh? Told you million times and please be sensitive!! (Woman screaming..)

Do you think you have the above problem?? Does your girl always grumbling at you??

If the answer was YES, then you are “one in a million” of guy who facing the same problem..Do you think women are hard to understand what they want? Some say yes and some say no! Here you go to be a better man (hurray).

#1: Some guys do. Te younger they are, the less they are likely to understand women and what women want.

#2: Pople usually don’t know what they themselves want. If they themselves don’t know what they want, how much more the people who rely only on what they say?

#3: Guys have basic needs and women have more emotional needs that men are taught to suppress feelings at a young age. Verbal perfect word selection to hit that exact need women have is difficult for us to project from our brain to our lips. one of my friends  used to tell his wife that he loved her and “stuff” but she had a low self esteem from other experiences in her life that she never believed him!

#4: I believe the way we accept love or words of affirmation is greatly hindered by our self esteem. This makes the things you want to hear and may be being expressed to you, and therefore never meets your needs.

#5: I know guys are quite clueless a lot of times. But sometimes I wonder, if men suddenly woke up tomorrow and just knew what women wanted, we probably wouldn’t like them as much! Maybe their insensitivity is part of the charm, what makes them men. Things like being honest, not cheating, etc should just be common sense.

Of course, we always attracted to the masculinity of men and what distinguished between men and women, such as “ying-yang”. Men are still the smartest creature on this planet and they have survived till now. Just saying, be more considerate and tolerate  in order to make our life more completed.

p/s: It’s easy to be a better man just a matter of patient and sincerity, which we will discuss next post..
