Where's the Lemonade?

Paige finds a Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus quiz online and Darren and Paige take the quiz and reveal some interesting differences between men and women.

Revealing Our Distinctiveness Through A Lighthearted Lens

It is often hard to understand what your wife or husband really wants, thinks, needs, feels or does. This quiz is light-hearted but informative; it is useful to get a better understanding of each other – and to bring you closer together. In many of the questions information is used which is generally true of either men or women. But if it is not true of you, that is because all people are different in many ways; it does not mean you are less of a man or a woman. The questions do, however, usually help you to understand each other and, if necessary, identify where you may be differing. Do the quiz on your own - only compare when you hear the answers! Enjoy the quiz!

See the quiz below.

It’s a Brainy Affair!

It may surprise you to know that our brains are initially identical. That's right; every brain begins as a female brain until it is transformed around the sixth week of conception. Thereafter, the male brain develops quite differently, resulting in a broad range of cognitive capabilities. The humble female brain, however, is significant in its own way, often leading to a rich complexity of thought and feelings. Remember, variety is the spice of life!

Shattering Some Stereotypes

From a young age, we’ve often heard that men are better at spatial reasoning. But does this talent make us ladies any less adept? Absolutely not! It could make us more cautious, but then, a smidge of caution never did anyone any harm! Interestingly, it's the men who are more color blind due to genetic inheritance. Guess that's why we women get to enjoy an endless spectrum of colors, right?

Let’s Talk Personalities

People often believe that men and women think, behave, and navigate the world in completely different ways, influenced by our upbringing or societal pressures. However, when it comes to common interests and bonding, it can be a fascinating blend of Mars and Venus. Ever seen a man equally mesmerized by a clothing sale as a woman, or a woman equally excited about a gadget like a man? It happens!

Wrinkles & Vinkles!

Finally, let's touch on a topic close to most women's hearts: ageing and wrinkles. While we often lament that men age like fine wine and we women just age, here’s the silver lining. Women have a layer of subcutaneous fat beneath their skin, which makes it more sensitive and supple. Despite this leading to wrinkles in later life, it all adds beautifully to our radiant glow!

While we've treaded a lighthearted path here, it's essential to remember that we are all unique in our own way. Understanding our differences can lead to stronger bonds, healthier interactions, and much more understanding between the sexes. So, why not embark on this journey of discovery together?

To learn more about our beautiful differences and similarities, don't forget to check out the latest episode of our “Where's The Lemonade” podcast. Feel free to share the post and spread the love! And don’t forget, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences too.

Quiz Answers

1. Is the basic brain pattern that we have from conception male or female? All brains are initially female, but for males it changes from six weeks after conception and men's brains develop differently. Because men's brains change there is more potential for wider extremes of brain capabilities. Therefore more men are likely to be geniuses or mentally handicapped.

2. Who are more likely to be colour-blind – men or women? Over 10% of men are at least partially colour-blind. Very few women are.

3. Who have better spatial awareness? Men. So they find it easier to park a car or to reverse it. 4. How do women shop? They find shopping relaxing, rejuvenating - trying on different clothes. It can be unstructured and it does not need a definite outcome. (This does not apply to food shopping though!)

5. How do men shop? Men shop with definite objectives and a timetable – the quicker the better. 6. Whose skin is more sensitive to touch – men's or women's? Women's – their skin is thinner; also they have an extra layer of fat beneath it, which adds to beauty in youth and wrinkles in old age.

7. Who feel the cold more? Men – because they lack that layer of fat. But because of it women have the greater problem with hot temperatures.

8. Who are better at reading body language? Women.

9. Who are better at distinguishing between high-pitched noises? Women.

10. Who are better at identifying from where sounds come? Men.
