This year I began to do the one of the hardest things I have
ever had to do. I stopped actively looking for a relationship, and started to
turn down anyone who asked. I deliberately chose to be single.
The idea that men and
women are inherently different, particularly in psychological terms, is a
popular, perhaps even obvious, view. Common sense tells us that behaviour
depends heavily on gender; men are often more aggressive and prone to
risk-taking, whereas women tend to be kinder and more communicative. Could it
be that these differences are hard-wired into our brains?
