How often have you thought if you could know what’s going on her head...but you just couldn’t. Wouldn’t life be way better if you could read her eyes?? They say...eyes are the windows to ones souls. But what they dint say is it's hard for a man to read the signs through a women's eyes. Maybe they dint know it yet and so... i forgive them :P
A recent article in Plos ONE has now come up with a plausible explanation as to why it's darn difficult for us..poor guys..to discern the emotions of our females. As if women were not the masters in hiding their emotions in the first place.
And it all comes to the "hardwiring" of our brains. It says "...men are superior in recognizing emotions/mental states of other men, as compared to women."
This can be because they say "...accurate interpretations of other men’s rather than women’s thoughts and intentions, especially threatening cues, may have been a factor contributing to survival in ancient times. As men were more involved in hunting and territory fights, it would have been important for them to be able to predict and foresee the intentions and actions of their male rivals."
Similarly,"...when compared to women, men are better at identifying facial expressions of anger, while women are more superior in recognizing fear and sadness."
It’s sad that findings such as these offer us men no comfort but only accentuates our helplessness :(
