According to Dr. Amen, it is a scientifically proven fact that women have many more neural connectors between their limbic brain and the prefrontal cortex than men do. The prefrontal cortex is commonly called the thinking brain. It is the area of the brain that causes us to think critically about our lives, to figure things out, follow through, per-severe, control our impulses, learn from our experiences, ex-press our emotions, and create empathy for those who are less fortunate. What this means is that women are emotionally wired to think about how they feel in a way that men aren't.

A man's main complaint about a woman is that she is illogical and irrational, which she finds insulting. The fact of the matter is that they are both correct, and although there are many exceptions to the rule, this general principle still holds.
