Understanding the Visual Nature of Man: Through the Eyes of a Man
For too long, the male has been misunderstood when it comes to his behavior towards the female. This is due to the fact that the little boy comes equipped from the womb with very different wiring than little girls.
When the term wiring is used, it means that the chemical-hormonal mix, the brain wiring, leads men to perceive the world in a certain way differently from women.
This is in addition to the fact that the structure of the male brain is physically different from that of the female brain.
The book, Through a Man’s Eyes: Helping Women Understand the Visual Nature of Men by Shaunti Feldhahn and Craig Gross helps explain to readers why men look at other women and what a woman can do to help reduce the temptation of evil deeds. . Also a woman needs to be careful how she presents herself in public.
The visually wired man explains the attraction of porn. For a woman, the image of the woman in a bikini does not set off alarms in the same way as for the man, if she does. For whatever reason, it can give the male a pleasurable physical reaction.
This could be because the male is programmed for sight and the female for touch.
A woman also responds to verbal stimulation. What a man says is important to her. A man just needs something that looks good to stimulate him.
It is normal. God created us this way. There is no reason to feel strange.
Feldhahn, as a social researcher, along with Gross, who is a pastor, have put together these ten annotated chapters to help explain to men and women the things they need to understand. This is the book the man wished he had to give to the woman in her life so she would understand the difference. In other words, it’s what he wishes he could explain to her but he doesn’t quite know how to explain it.
Others have said that the visual nature of men is an unchanging reality of life, love and marriage and is a subject that few women understand. This brings with it relational problems and barriers to intimacy.
One of the chapters deals with the response that women should have in the face of masculine difference. It’s just worth the price of the book.
The book is published by WaterBrook Multnomah Books and retails for $14.99.
