What Makes Men And Women Different? - Dr Carole Hooven

Dr Carole Hooven is Co-director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University and an author.
Testosterone is a hell of a drug. It causes many things to happen in both men and women. But it's dividing opinion even more than it's dividing the sexes. This isn't great for calming conversations, bridging differences or finding common ground however it's a fascinating topic to dig into.
Expect to learn what it's like for women who go on testosterone to feel what male sex drive is like, why male deer in Scotland grow antlers and fight their best friends for a few months every year, whether maternal instinct is a myth, why testosterone even exists at all, the differences between male and female orgasms, whether sex is a spectrum and much more...

    @Fenwick Strong, confident, happy men don't need relationships. They still have a sex drive though and as long as that is satisfied the onus is on women to persuade them into a committed relationship. Which sex is the term "commitment phobic" generally applied to? Only a very desperate, insecure man would wait around for three months. Sure, there are plenty out there (largely created by current misandrist culture) but most women don't want them.

    We already have a model for this. Civil Rights for the religious. We all get that we can protect believers without being required to assent to beliefs or to give beliefs without evidence special access to policy. Wherever we draw that line for Baptists, we can also draw it for gender dysphorics. Sincerely held, important to one's identity, but false and without evidence. We can protect the civil rights of such believers and even not be assholes about their beliefs while also insisting on science when it absolutely matters.

My parents are not together anymore. My relationship with my dad developed more into a good friendship as I became a man, but with my mum I'm still her "baby boy" always and forever, her words.

    You've learned so much? Care to give me an example? The problem between the sexes is not misunderstanding. Misunderstanding leads to understanding easily when communication happens. There is a massive amount of available sources one has at one's disposal to understand the opposite sex even if one can't make direct communication work. So, no, that is not the problem for adults. The problem is that at the end of a woman's aggression stands a girl or another woman and at the end of a men's aggression stands a girl or a woman. That's the problem. If a man fucks up, he targets a girl or a woman. So a healthy society puts a premium on keeping men in check. Men kept other men in check. And women learned how to protect themselves. That has all fallen away, actually it has been ripped off like a band-aid and now the wound is bleeding out and killing society.

    I would argue that men understand women WAY more than women understand men. A lion knows more about gazelles than gazelles know about lions. All a gazelle knows about a lion is to run when in its presence. A lion however knows EVERYTHING about gazelles or they will go hungry. A lion knows where the gazelles like to eat, sleep, drink water. A lion knows a gazelle will run if spotted. Men are the ones who iniates relationship. They "hunt" women; men are mainly the ones to ask the other sex out and he's the one that proposes marriage. They must know how women move, what they like, what they do in order to get sexual access. Sex is abundant these days so I would argue that men are successful on the "hunt" and that men do indeed understand women. If sex was rare for everyone, I would argue that men aren't successful pursuers. A woman just has to look pretty and be available in order to get sexual access. Why would they try to understand men when they don't necessarily have to in order to get laid? So they sleep around thinking they're winning, however, they're not able to get longer-term commitment from a man. Women need understand men though imho in order to properly lock down a man for marriage. This is why men aren't proposing as much anymore; women don't understand what men want and actually vilify men for their wants and desires. So men hit it and run without any commitment.

    @@kmc1872 Women are experts at disqualifying, sure. However, that doesn't mean they know more of what men want nor does that mean they adhere to what men want or give it to them. Just like how prey doesn't know what going through the mind of the hunter, women really don't understand men. Also when I was talking about the hunter and the prey, it was a comparison. I didn't say males were better hunters across all species. But yes, is way more difficult to pull off a solid attack than a solid defence. This is why there generally more prey than predators. Men are on the offense in the dating market, that was my point. You brought up orcas. Regardless of sex, orcas are the hunters, the apex predator. Do you think it's easier for orcas to catch their prey or do you think their prey has an easier time getting away? I would argue that the prey, shrimp and krill, have a very easy time. I doubt they even think about orcas or what they want. I bet when an orca passes through a school of prey, more prey get away than the orca eats by far. The orca has to go to where the prey is at, at the time that the prey is there. The orca has to know how the prey is gonna move. It has to spend the time eating. Or it will die. The prey just has to move once the orca gets there. Most of orcas prey probably never even see an orca. This is why Hitler's Blitzkrieg was stunning. This is why Alexander the Great's conquest was impressive. Gengis Khan will go down in history forever for a reason. I'd much rather try and hold a castle than take a castle. Most casteles have only been taken a handle of times and spend most of history in peace due to being safe. Defending is easier than attacking 99.99% of the time. It's only in RARE occasions like in the movie 300, when defending is almost impossible, that defending isn't easier. The battle of Troy is a rare occasion. There a many ways to skin a cat, but there aren't that many crafty ways to take a castle or land a woman forever. Like it's almost impossible to defend against a nuke. I bet basketball rules favors aggressors. So for rare cases like that, yes, I'd rather attack than defend. But men don't have that much more capabilities over women like orcas have over their prey either. The "dating rules" don't benefit men like basketball rules benefit the aggressor. It's more difficult to hit a homerun in baseball or get a score than it is to get an out. In hockey, its way easier for a team to block a shot rather than make a shot; same with soccer. This is why the scores are relatively low. Same with football. It's way easier for a woman to disqualify men than it is for men to try and get score with women. Let me ask you this. Why has over 80% of the female population just about always repopulated where as only 40% of men get to? It's because it's much easier for women to attract than it is for men to pursue. Not because women know what men want more than men know what women want. These are two separate things.

    @@kmc1872 My entire original argument is that men understand women more than women understand men. You seem to have the argument that women understand men more than men understand women. Correct me if I'm wrong. We agreed to compare men to the predators/aggressors and women as the prey/defenders in this game. I would say that most defenders(in most games and in war historically)/prey/women have the advantage against the men/aggressors/predator. This shows. The defender/women/prey aren't tactful so to speak though. They have the advantage. This is why when the aggressor/man/predator must understand the situation and his opponent in order to succeed. It's a must actually. Women know that men like youth, beauty, and reproductive capabilities in their mate. Men know that women like older, richer, fitter men. But he also knows where to go to find women. Not any women, but the women he likes and doesn't like. He must know when to go there. He has to be able to get there. Once there, he must play his cards right. He has to know how to initiate the relationship. He has to know when to push and pull, tease but reassure. He must be nice, but not too nice. He has to he mean but not too mean. He has to be all these things and know how to do all these. Where as the woman just has to live her life and endless amounts of wonderful men walk into her life, down to fuck. She spends her time disqualifying them. She doesn't have to know men in order to succeed. Any guy she wants for the night. She gets it without fully understanding that man imho, relieving validation and assurance that she's doing the right thing. All of this game so far is to initially get sex. Just like how the objective of a predator is to kill its prey. Just like how an army laying siege to a castle is to achieve the goal of capturing the city. Just like how in any sport, someone wins and the game is over. Now what though when it comes to the dating scene? Marriage is what's next. This is when we lose these comparisons. This is where it shows how little women understand men. We see many women not able to lock men down. The ball is now im the men's court. Women might be the gatekeepers of sex. But, men are the gatekeepers of marriage, being the one who proposes. Marraige rates are down. Women are going years without her bf proposes to her. Divorce rates are up. It's more of an interest for the women to retain a marriage, yet she's the one that mostly leaves. Biologically speaking, women should be doing everything they can to get/maintain marriages. There are many reasons for this. In the year 2022, since women can't make this happen, I would argue that women don't understand men. Men are still out here hitting it, getting their sexual needs met. Hell, a man today that jerks off to porn is more satisfied than a woman without a husband or kids. Or a divorced woman with kids in her 40's. Women are loosing here. A man doesn't need a women. A women needs a man. She needs him to do the heavy lifting in this world that is mainly fit for people bigger than her. She needs him to protect her in this dangerous world. She needs him emotionally to be a balanced women. A man can live his life alone and get by. He can knock a woman up, getting kids and ditch his wife while continue to mate with younger women. He'll probably die young working some dangerous job anyway. Woman who gets knocked up without a man is screwed. Marraige mainly benifits women. How do women get marriage? By fully understanding what men want and need; just like how men get sex from women. Since this isn't happening and men are still sexually satisfied, I argue that women most women don't understand men. I'd even argue, that women 200 years ago understood men WAY more than they do today. They like, lost that knowledge or something imho.

    @@kmc1872 ****Sidenotes***** There are more prey than predators for two reasons. Most predators are carnivores and most prey are herbivores. When you don't have to fight for your meal, you reproduce more. However, your more defensiveness and preyed upon. This is life 🙏 Men ponder what women want because they're the pursuers; its not because women are the mystical unicorns. I'd also argue that just about all women are the same. The aggressors always try to outsmart the defenders. They're always looking for a week point. It's not because they have zero knowledge about their opponents. I'm not denying that men say this. I think women naively blind themselves to what men want, in the name of feminism. What men want is traditional relationship. We don't like these egalitarian or equitable relationships. We want mothers as wives, not 304's that belong to the streets. We want virgins, not a mother of three kids. Most men say nothing, because they know the women they're with isn't marriage material. Why should he tell a thot what he actually wants? It's now his friends turn to hit it. I also think the only reason why women are allowed to live this lifestyle is because of modern medicine; birth control and abortions. Without abortions, the black population would be well over 25% of the population. Yet they're only at 13% rn. That's why men haven't reproduced as much. They have 0 reproductive rights. A woman can have sex and choose to reproduce or not. A man cannot do this. Like I said, women are the gatekeepers of sex due to our laws, otherwise the man is a rapist. This is also why men have less sex than women on average. And why most men don't get laid. It's a different game than marriage.

    40:25 I think a big reason for that is that men get angry instead of sad. It takes half a lifetime to learn about yourself as a man to get an understanding that you develop anger as a coping mechanism to deal with the inability of doing something about the situation. I think thats actually a good thing in a lot of cases since that anger functions as fuel to bring change if possible. I personally learned that trough loosing a loved one and therapy. In case of loosing someone no amount of anger or motivation can help you, there is nothing to change and in the end you are left with no other option than to move past the anger and confront the crushing sadness that lies underneath.

    @@zaraahmedov3456 There is no way to attribute in such general terms this behaviour, with such certainty, to being "an educated an feminine woman." I have witnessed just as many educated and feminine women with poor emotional self-regulation, lacking in the ability of introspection, empathy and communicative agreeableness - as in women I've met who are not as educated and/or less feminine. There is always a dispersion of psychological traits and behaviours across a wide spectrum, regardless of education, sex, race, ethnicity etc. Dr. Hooven is one example of how an 'educated and feminine woman' can be. But there are studies that also point out the correlation between high intelligence and quite different, opposing traits to those she displays. Let's treat her, and applaud her, for the individual she is.

    21:40 i think it was robert sapolsky who said that testosterone makes men do whatever thing that makes them have more status. Litterally he went on by "If you society values spirituality and calmness as a measure of status, then you'd probably have all high testosterone men meditating all day long instead of working like mad to own more money than the rest". Which is really cool and somewhat makes me think "wait, generally who among everyone in our society choses money as some of the best indicators of status? Who might value it in a way that results in high testosterone men putting themselves to work like mad?". Suddenly we (men) dont seem to have that much control over the "patriarchal" society we live in, but that's not interesting in any way because it makes women accountable for everybodys circumstances too (and i really mean that "too").

    I think testosterone is only one of the ingredients that is involved with temperament. Some of the most bad ass men on the planet are the calmest dudes. But once they get in the ring, go to war, perform, lead, they have this monstrous aura. Men can recognize this with each other. It’s because they put so much hard work into their skill, they know what it takes. They see someone do that and respect it. I think flying off the handle is more genetic, also immaturity. Not to say people that fly off the handle are not needed. They’re the demolition guys in war, but that is not to say calm men can’t channel their dominance. It’s not the money that gives you the status. It’s the skill set you honed all your life to have the advantage of capital growth. It’s the Millionare mindset, not the million dollars. Impressive skills will be noticed by men and women. Testosterone may have a role, but there are so many other variables. The one percent are the ones that control the patriarchy.

First of all, you’re completely ignoring the fact that anything resembling free mate choice didn’t exist until 5 minutes ago in the west. Women had to care about her family’s opinion, economic stability, etc, rather than just following raw desires and personal preferences.

    35:30 Thank you, Carole Hooven, for checking in and setting him straight. The problem is not the drive (perhaps), it’s the way it drives some men’s personality to be harmful to others, and those others are mostly women and girls (and boys). The problem is that, in all men, it drives them to be less considerate as Chris is displaying in this very segment. A considerate person would stop and think about what a deep hurt they are inflicting on the woman they want access to without being bothered by the human being. He does not. I’ve watched a few interviews now and he’s never reached a point of true reflection, he seems very much in search of explanations and apologies to be exactly how he wants to be without any repercussions for his ego. The problem is how men pretend not to know what their behaviour is causing women. They pretend that it’s not their doing that girls and women behave overly sexual, dress like hookers, talk in a certain voice and generally have low ambition to be successful in the world. “It’s just their nature.“ No. There is an epidemic right now of girls transitioning because they cannot bear the amount of pressure girls and women feel to be beautiful and desirable. They cannot deal with the unwanted attention FROM GROWN MEN staring at them with lust, objectifying them and disregarding not only their feelings and safety, but their humanity. As you said yourself, girls and women are bodies, nothing more in most cases. AND THE GIRLS KNOW IT. WE ALL KNOW IT. And it causes so much harm and pain to girls and women. And you don’t care. THAT’S THE FU..ING PROBLEM, you absolute m0r0n! You create this fundamental problem and then make it the women’s problem. And that is down-right anti-social. Make it your problem and put some of that brain and muscle power into cultivating a personality that is not smug about this, but considerate. Maybe develop a character trait or two that are not based on superficial values. It’s not that hard to be an adult, you know. The problem is the culture’s artificially ramped-up obsession with abusive sex. So many girls and women engage in sex that they don’t want to have, they dissociate from their bodies and redefine their boundaries to non-existent. It’s forced self-exploitation. And to counter-argue that it’s a woman’s choice is ridiculous and heinous. If you expect every single girl in the history of the world to act and feel counter-culture and counter-society every day of her life, you are clearly a very unrealistic or manipulative person.

How they’re like “oh poor men being expected to practice some basic impulse control and not stick it in every thing with a vag!” while failing to give context and just completely breezing by women’s perfectly valid and understandable apprehensions about men’s sexuality controlling our entire fucking lives. Many cultures and communities coerce women into covering up, even at the cost of their own comfort and health, because they take this line of reasoning that men can’t help but jump on a woman with even an ounce of skin showing, because female flesh is just so enticing. It’s infuriating because it’s clearly so hypocritical and incoherent. Surely, if men can be entrusted with controlling all of society, men can also scrape up the will to control their eyeballs. How have they gotten away with this notion that “women emotional men logical” again, if men are apparently slaves to their sex drives? That’s pretty emotional and not very logical at all.

    Yes, however it is only when they have a son, that they MAY come to these insights. Sadly.

    I am a very feminine woman but I think I must have relatively high levels of testosterone for a female. I do understand what the male sex drive is like because I feel something similar, specially the days preceding ovulation. I get very drawn to visual cues of masculinity and the images get stuck in my brain and come back as flashbacks. On the other hand, being female, I still need a strong emotional connection with that male before I would feel comfortable acting out my sexual desire for him, no matter how strong it might be. Some days all I can do is think about sex with the man I am in love with and I can't focus on anything else. Very unproductive... I feel for the men who are shamed for the way they are biologically. I try to help the men in my life accept that this strong drive is normal and there is nothing shameful about it. What matters is that we integrate that in a healthy way and develop healthy sexual relationships with others as full human beings, not just sex objects. And I think this is where culture has a fundamental role, allowing men to evolve beyond just their basic instincts. Unfortunately, culture is going in the opposite direction, promoting everyone, men and women to just treat each other as sexual objects and I think this is a great tragedy of our times...

    Sex drive in men has many components aside from testosterone. My free testosterone is higher than 98% of men. I am full of androgen but my sex drive is relatively low. Men need estrogen to promote aggressive behavior and induce sex drive. A man with very low estrogen will be quite passive and will likely not pursue women....even if they appear very masculine

    @@pamleonard7330 They showed in one study that the enzyme aromatase that converts testosterone to estrogen promoted aggressive and territorial behavior in male mice. I used to suffer lower testosterone and i was far more irritable and aggressive at the time. I had a higher estrogen to testosterone ratio at the time. I find the abusive men are generally the most insecure with their masculinity. True masculinity does not have irritability or aggressive behavior attached to it. More like a calm sense of energy and confidence/assertiveness. Testosterone calmed me tf down. Just for reference, my levels increased from 221 to 950 in a span of 7 years. The reference range for males is 250 to 916 ng/dl.

    Hi Chris, Find your interview style and talks fascinating and thanks for sharing. My comment here is that I feel that the real issue relating to truth is that it has been sabotaged by the forces of consumerist to drive us all in directions that push us to buy more and end up dividing us all. Thats the core of the issue really. Men and women were made to adore and love eachother by nature.

    "Gravity well" is what I call the urge to look at the female form. Energy has to be spent to NOT look, and the more you gaze, the deeper down the well you go. It was great to see this reality getting addressed in the episode. In certain circumstances I become mentally strained to keep my head and eyes politely forward as the reward signals in the brain keep signaling to look. Going to the beach, urban center, or... god help me... a college campus, can be mentally exhausting if I am with my significant other. Sunglasses are a necessity as a kind of pressure valve.

    Fascinating and helpful conversation as always thank you! 😊 I’m also mindful that the Oxytocin hormone is increased during breastfeeding, which as many know is the bonding hormone also present after orgasm and sex and just through cuddling/contact in smaller doses. It calms the nervous system and makes us feel safe and secure amongst other things. It’s all such a delicate interplay and it’s great we’re talking about gender differences. Fostering the understanding of the bigger picture and individual perspectives and influences within that frame.

    As someone who got prescribed testosterone supplementation a few months ago, due to an age-related decline, yes testosterone is a hell of a drug. I had felt like I was walking against a headwind for several years. I even tried antidepressants, which only made it worse. Testosterone injections solved all that. To the point where I wonder how women function at all with such low levels. Do not underestimate testosterone.
