Since I last posted, I've been asking around. The answers are fascinating. What I've determined is that for most men, their consciousness is in or around their heads, while most women live in their chests. There are exceptions - I know one guy who exists primarily in his chest, and a woman who indicated her throat. But for the most part, men feel like they are head-oriented and woman feel heart-oriented.
Mind you (no pun intended), I've always generalized that men are more logical and women are more feeling (it's a generalization, not a rule). The question is how are those related, or which came first? Does someone live more by their feeling because that's where they exist? Or do they live in that space because their feelings are so strong?
Another thought I've had about this related to an earlier blog of mine regarding hugging. It makes more sense now, that if women live in their chests, then hugging might be a bit more sensitive. I've likened it to if a guy, upon meeting another guy, grabbed his head and pulled it to his own, pressing their foreheads together. It would feel weird and inappropriately intimate. So, I do wonder if some women have hugging issues for the very reason that it requires them to press their very selves into that other person.
And, clearly, this also explains why men love to lay their heads on women's chests. Ahem.
