Kay Redfield Jamison (professor of Psychiatry at John Hopkins, codirector of the Mood Disorders Center and a bipolar disorder patient herself) explains in her book- EXUBERANCE the passion for life - why women and certain animal species are different from men and certain other animal species in regards to their approach to listening to music as well as many other personality traits. There are exceptions to the rule of course which is mostly genetic instead of environmental influence.
You are lucky to be the exception to the rule.
Exuberance entails joy and energy as in child's immersing play. The environmental influence factor did help you but the primary factor is genetic.
The book is highly recommended to all of you male or female.

I wish I understood why girls don't even want to understand when it comes to technology (I tried to help them) but I think it is just that it costs too much to keep up. on move in day when I come in with my xbox 360, LCD TV, macbook pro, iphone, PDA and a huge pile of other electronic stuff they stare at me a little while unpacking their 500 lbs of clothes and 40 pairs of shoes. I do have a lot of clothes and at least 20 pairs of shoes but I don't spend a lot of time or money worrying about them. I'd much much rather buy a new video game then a new pair of stilettos. it is possible to get nice looking clothes and shoes for cheap if you don't insist on having a brand name all over yourself but most girls would rather have that then a sexy pair of cans. personally I bet I could get a lot more cute nerdy guys (my favorite) with my k701s and a Tshirt that says 'schrodinger's cat is definitely dead by now' then they can with cute jeans. I also grew up around guys and technology, my dad is an electrical and software engineer and my mom is a computer programmer. My dad started teaching me how to play first person shooters on the PC when I was 3 years old. I've also always had a computer in my house (we have 11 now) and my dad has always had fun keeping up on the latest shiny thing to buy. this probably explains why I am so weird. wow I talk too much anyway what I think I was trying to say is girls think this is a waste of money. (and they also don't know how to attract nerds, which in my experience are the best guys ever, what is more sexy then intelligence?) |
