Are men from Mars & women from Venus here too?

I’ll take a stab at what might be different for me if I had a male life coach. I have recently become aware that although I have two sons and a great husband all of whom I have close and cherished relationships with, I am not in a man’s life or a man’s body or brain. I cannot view the world from their perspective and experience. As a matter of fact, having no brothers and a lousy first marriage, so when my husband and I were first together, I often "interviewed" him about a man’s perspective on things so I could learn.

That being said, I notice that I, and most of the women I run across, am more emotional, more easily connected to spirit or a spiritual perspective. I have a different experience of the world just because I have different cultural biases, a different functioning body, I use makeup, I wear dresses and skirts not just pants, the media sees me differently, etc. I think it’s safe to say there are some gender differences even if they are culturally stimulated.

So I tend to have female clients with some notable exceptions like a single parent father with a child and a female ex- to deal with. I know that I am more drawn to talk about certain things with women – sex, feelings, even business perspectives.

I am not saying one is better than the other for a woman. Just different. I often have had some great short-term coaching from my husband and occasionally some other male coaches but most likely I’d never hire a male coach for an on-going experience.

But that’s me.
