Men's Natural Talent for Entertainment (Scientific Analisis)

There’s no doubt that men and women are very different, and this transcends just our physical body, the way we think and present our stories and beliefs is also very different.

We can name a lot of famous writers and artists being women, and this is something really wonderful. Now, many of us know that the number of men that influence the entertainment industry can be unequally high. And although there can be unjust reasons for it, today we will analyze some ways in which men can be naturally really good at entertaining. Of course, we all know that this does not mean that there is a limitation for women to be successful in this complex world, rather, there is an opportunity for both genders to learn from each other

There have been multiple scientific associations trying to explain this subject. However, there has been little to no support for them since scientific foundations and many organizations don’t pay attention to seemingly unimportant matters.

However, this is a very important matter, because the answer may help many women to compete properly in the entertainment industry, which is already a very tough place for any person.

Despite the fact that many scientific organizations are focusing on medicine and other urgent investigations, many scientific institutions of psychologists and sociologists, which are in charge of studying the human behavior, are more than pleased with doing multiple investigations on the matter; this has led to many answered questions.

In this article I will first explain the reasons why men may have some attitudes towards their creations that are attractive to a wide audience, explaining briefly the facts and just adding little references so you can later read every fact peacefully; and then I will explain the consequences. When is all explained, I will show you and analyze the multiple studies that confirm every fact that I have mentioned.

So, let’s get started, shall we?

MEN LEAVE A LOT OF THINGS WITHOUT SAYING

One of the things men do naturally right on entertainment resides in the brain structure and differences in the thought process between men and women. And that main difference is that they never express their full point of view, which makes them more appealing to people.

See, there are two things men can let up to the viewer’s imagination or even just incomplete; Emotional sides and points of view.

In the first place, we have the emotional side of a story. Men are proven to be less analytical of the emotional aspect of any situation. This is because the areas of their brain in charge of emotional analysis are much smaller than the women. Which makes them skip the emotional consequences of their characters (in case they’re telling a story) and skip the sharing of their own emotions (in case they’re talking about themselves, thus being a celebrity).

This emotional simplicity can attract a wide range of female audience, this is because, for the female brain, a story without emotional analysis is an incomplete story; is just something that can’t be ignored and someone has to say it. Just like someone will acknowledge other’s physical injury, a woman acknowledges someone’s obvious emotional injury. Is just impossible to skip.

Now, why the natural reaction of acknowledging emotions is going to make women like a character or a celebrity? Well, the fact that no one they can see has talked about the issue triggers the natural thought to engage with the fandom and expose their point of view, and the fact that the creator itself hasn’t acknowledged this subject can lead to more than one possible reaction on whoever the center of the attention is. The result is that every person (again, mostly women) that shares their point of view on the emotions of the character (Or celebrity) can have a different opinion, and this can lead to debates, complex theories, etc.

On the other side, men, who appreciate simple and thrilling stories, are not left behind, since is that same factor that attracted women, but with different feelings and results, that made them like the story too. In the end, men may create more appealing content with simplicity, which they love, and open possibilities which, women also like.

Women have language and expression areas in both brain lobes, while men have only one language area in the left lobe. This means that women can express feelings and qualities twice as much as men. And while this can be appealing to women, it is not very appealing to men, who like more "show don't tell" stories.

STUDIES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

"Five out of every six names that appear in the media today are those of men"

"But why are women muffled in the media and how can we explain this persistent underrepresentation? Social scientists have been asking this question for decades"

"Females often have a larger hippocampus, our human memory center. Females also often have a higher density of neural connections into the hippocampus. As a result, girls and women tend to input or absorb more sensorial and emotive information than males do."

"Girls tend to use more words when discussing or describing the incidence, story, person, object, feeling, or place. Males not only have fewer verbal centers in general but also, often, have less connectivity between their word centers and their memories or feelings."

"When it comes to discussing feelings and emotions and senses together, girls tend to have an advantage, and they tend to have more interest in talking about these things."

"Men see the big picture, women focus on detail"

"Our results suggest that the near pathway is favored in women and the far pathway is favored in men"

However, there is a second factor that influences a lot in the way men portray entertainment; the need of completion, which men are really good at managing. The need of completion is present in both men and women. However, men are usually the ones that create stories that appeal to this need.

This aspect will be analyzed in the second part of this theory.
