 What surprises me about what I have read is how the woman's brain work! Now, I understand why she loves talking because she observes tiny details, so she wants to speak about them. On the other hand, man's brain seems having limited perceptive abilities compare to woman's. That is why men are easily to be discovered when they are lying.!!

P.S. Warning for all men, be honest. Other wise you are in a big trouble !!
