themselves when a relationship is over. not only when they fall in love, they also want to do more kissing in public. it's called mate guarding. they want to show everybody this is theirs. they want to move in sooner. they want to introduce the person to their relatives, and they have more intimate conversations with their wives and lovers. than they do with their -- and women have more intimate conversations with their girlfriends. we don't share as much with our men. >> let's talk about surprising stuff. >> it is. >> let's look at photos. this depicts what you're talking about. first pictures of two women talking face-to-face. i guess this is how women discuss. they look at each other in the eye. they're close. >> we do it face-to-face. we do what we call the anchoring gaze and we talk. and it comes from millions of years of holding a baby in front of your face, educating with words. >> let's look at two men. this is how two men discuss things. okay. maybe not. there they are. >> the guy on the right looks up. the guy on the left will look

away. i think it comes from millions of years from sitting behind the bush on the grass sides of africa trying to hit the buffalo in the head with a rock. can't be talking to your neighbor while you do it. >> look at the third picture. >> it's funny when you're talking to a man. sometimes when they're walking they reveal more because they're not looking at you. >> ah. >> if you want a really good conversation with a man, do it while he's driving a car. he can't go. you're side by side. you're not looking at him. >> he's look the way he likes which is straight ahead. >> i love it. our third picture is a man and a woman. let's check this one out. she's all wrapped up in him, and he's totally not. wouldn't you say she's more romantic? >> no, no, no. she's doing women's intimacy. she's trying to reach him and she's feeling invaded, because he's trying to reach her. he's talking as if she's sitting next to him. they're looking forward together, and that's the way men can talk. >> we took a quiz that was going to tell us about our personalities. and we don't know the answers at all.

>> it's a questionnaire that i did. 10 million people have taken it in 40 countries. i'm americaning the traits linked with four brain systems. >> what did you learn about us? >> you're very high estrogen and very low testosterone. >> i'm post menopausal. >> but the brain is built in the womb as estrogen is building in the brain, it's building more connections between the front and the back, between the two sides, giving you -- giving you both your verbal skills. >> it asks about empathy. it asks about mechanical skills. directions. >> you have a tremendous amount of empathy. you wouldn't be able to do your job. that's estrogen related. i'm not surprised you can't park your car. both of you were very low on the testosterone scale. >> then why do i have so much facial hair? >> you're a girl, face it. >> thank you so much. >> that was lots of fun.
