A primary strength for men is that men are able to react to fear with aggression whereas women tend to become frozen or immobilized by feelings of fear.

Additionally, men have substantially better upper body strength, but both sexes tend to have equal lower body strength.

Weaknesses: compared to women, men use more of their left hemisphere and have a smaller corpus collosum which connects each hemisphere of the brain. As a result, men have difficulty multi tasking, whereas women are naturally able to multi task. Men can focus on one moving object in a field than women.

Men and women have different eyes - men more rods and women more cones. As a result, men can see movement and contrast better and women can see color and detail better up close.

Women are more social and gravitate towards social careers. Men aren't, so they are okay being alone and often think highly of their ability to work independently, but women can work independently too if trained, and definitely work better in groups.

These are generalizations, but the 80-20 rule probably works - there's always exceptions, but this will apply to about 80% of men, and 20% of men will be more or less different from the others.

The presence of testosterone and the absence of oxytocin substantially differentiate men from women, physiologically.

What are advantages and disadvantages of being a man?

Men are not subject to the psychological effects of the menstrual cycle and they are less emotional, however by the virtue of being male they are more aggressive and can tend to be less empathetic toward others. Male aggression when not controlled can lead to dire consequences. That is one variable for the reasons there are more men than women in prison. The sad thing is that bad behavior by both sexes can be learned and is innate in both sexes. That is one reason you see more women in prison than ever before and relationships between the sexes suffer. Men have the ability to be strong, be leaders and be able to fend off enemies. Women can do that up to a point but eventually her physical and psychological makeup hinders her efforts. Think of the differences between a male soldier and a female soldier. The male normally excels in the warfare activities whereas the female can do very well but normally at a lower level than the male. Therefore in summary: Enjoy the differences in men and women. Men bring to life an innate need to provide and succeed and women bring to life tenderness, color, and the innate need to care for others and children.
