Have you ever been head over heels for someone? Specifically, a boy and you just wish they weren’t so ignorant? Well, if it makes you feel any better there may be a science-based answer to why they aren’t responding the way you want and that is due to what stage they are in with developing their frontal cortex lobe. Now you may be wondering what exactly that is it is a lobe (the largest to be specific) of your brain and it’s located in the front area (get it?) and is responsible for almost everything. From the way you think, move, and how you remember certain events but the part that we are talking about what it controls today is how you behave and interact with others.
It’s very important because it is what has major control over our Behavorial and emotional control and women’s develop faster. A womans finishes developing in around mid to late twenty’s while a man’s can still develop all the way into mid to late thirties! A woman’s frontal lobe is also larger than a male even though men have larger brains. It has been found that men have bigger parietal cortexes and amygdala. Which is space perception and an area that regulates social behavior. Although women have smaller brains, they think with about ten times more white matter than gray matter which is what men think with.
White matter means you are thinking with connections between neurons which allows a woman to be able to think quicker and process information faster than a male. Due to the fact that gray matter is based off of just active neurons. So, taking these factors into consideration it makes perfect sense why your crush of right now or in fifth or sixth grade wasn’t taking the hints you were laying down. It’s because they physically couldn’t or at least would have had a very hard time due to what size and development stage their frontal cortex lobe was in!
Now if you are in your late twenty’s a female and feel you have just had a world crushing revelation that is also due to your frontal cortex lobe as most women experience this once theirs becomes fully developed. As once your frontal lobe is developed you are able to think in a much more logic-based way and process things in a way that you wouldn’t have been able to when you were a teenager. You will still have a few years of dealing with men who seem to not understand a word you are saying though. This is not made in any way to shame men though as certain parts of their brain develop faster than a womans would this is a purely science-based blog!
Woahh, I’ve heard of this before but never really did much research on it, very interesting stuff!!
I love saying “I just felt my brain develop” when I realize something as a joke, but this was really fun to read! I love learning about the brain and the differences between everyone’s brain and body, so this was really interesting. Can’t wait for my brain to finish developing!! lol
