Death, ill health and personal threats are common themes in everyone’s nightmares. But scientists at the University of Montreal, Canada, did a study with 10,000 dreams and found that there are some differences between what men and women usually dream.

They have been found to be more prone to nightmares involving large-scale disasters, floods, earthquakes and wars. Interpersonal conflicts tend to occupy twice as much women’s dreams as men’s.

When a man wants to show a woman that he is interested in her, he instinctively adopts a posture that shows courage and strength. Normally, he keeps his thumbs in the belt of his pants.

The same meaning applies if the man is holding both hands or fists close to the hips or lower back (famous “Superman” pose).

A lot of people think that men like to receive compliments from women. In fact, they tend to prefer a compliment from another man.

Robert Herbert, a researcher at the University of Binghamton, USA, stated that, in general, only 30% of people take a compliment calmly and respond with gratitude. The praise of another man usually generates an improvement in the praised’s self-esteem.

Professor Ronald E. Riggio, professor of behavioral psychology at Claremont McKenna College, in California (United States), analyzed friendships between men and women in an article. He concluded that the friendship between men is usually based on common interests. They enjoy playing sports together (football, basketball, cards) and watching games on television.

In general, friendship between women is based on emotions and mutual support. Women choose friends who are emotionally attached to them.

It may seem strange, but it’s true: men eat a lot more when they’re with women. In addition, they eat 93% more pizza and 86% more salad than when they are with another man.

Kevin Kniffin, a Doctor of Philosophy at Cornell University in New York, carried out the research.

The clothes we wear are a sign of how we feel. Also, clothing affects how other people perceive us. That’s why a man in a suit feels more secure in a business meeting or even a television interview.

An investigation led by Dr. Brianna Verigin was responsible for interviewing 194 people, half men and half women, with an average age of 39 years. Participants were submitted to questionnaires, the results of which pointed to a significant link between the experience of lying and gender. Dr. Brianna concluded that men were twice as likely as women to consider themselves more adept at lying and not getting caught.

A man spends around 43 minutes a day looking at 10 different women. That equates to 259 hours (or nearly 11 days) over an entire year. As a result, between the ages of 18 and 50, men spend 11 months and 11 days looking at women.

On the other hand, women spend only 20 minutes a day looking at men. Between the ages of 18 and 50, they spend only 6 months on it. Such numbers were obtained by employees of the company Kodak Lens Vision Centers, who carried out a survey with about 3 thousand people in the year 2009. It was found that the most suitable places to look at strangers of the opposite gender were the supermarket, bars and clubs.
