5. I've heard both sides of that.

1. Men are known to be suspicious, looking all over, for example, exiting a building, an eye out for trouble. And this has been considered an annoyance, as if paranoid.

2. Women must feel constant threat from larger and stronger beings, too often with bad intentions. Perhaps as in #1, that's not verbalized.

As you noted, it has to be a factor, felt not just in advance, but constantly.

And more likely to think ahead and strategize/avoid.

No psych degree here, just a techie, so I defer to those with a better understanding of psychology.

Men can be statistically more reckless. Those Bored Panda pix at the link I posted register --- unfortunately.

And more impressed by novelty. I recall reading in National Lampoon (of course) that men like things that "Are big, go fast, and explode" It was supposed to be satire.

Just my two cents worth, and if bogus, correct me.
