  it's hard to imagine that it would have no influence. I remember going to school in kindy. I got wacked with a wooden spoon for playing hopscotch with the girls. I had my eye on this pretty little thing named Leanne and we were getting on famously at little lunch while the other boys were running around wildly yelling peeow... the sound a bullet makes when playing cowboys and Indians. My sister taught me to play hopscotch so I really did have an advantage over the other boys, at least in kindy. Hugs Stalky

  The difference is very clear when you meet a guy who was raised in a home with all or mostly women. They know how to deal with and handle women, their "feminine" side is more highly developed. aaarrgghhh!!! an original topic! a breath of fresh air!

  Babe, you need a holiday methinks . Yes, in answer to the original question, in my experience a male who has grown up in a home with numerous females in it is much more sexually intelligent. Or rather, they appreciate women and as such, tend to make more effort to understand and "get" women. . Good question! . Flirty x

  Awww..... I wish someone had taught me hopscotch. I couldn't speak english so my early school days in Aus had me just hitting guys in the nuts.. Seemed to be a universal language. . Grew up with a younger sister - so I suspect I started life clueless on women. Oh did I say started? I meant I am clueless on women Maybe I need hopscotch lessons.

  I came from a clan of an older brother and younger sister so yes I suffer from middle child syndrome....lolI was lucky to have very open parents and no subject was taboo.I asked and was granted answers to most of my teenage questions and I was considered to be a very knowledgeable teen by my peers.I always knew what to expect by either sex as I was growing up and never had any problems.My mother was very "hip and cool" by all my friends standards and they would often come over to chat to her.So in my experience......it didn't matter that I had an older brother when I had very open parents.

  TR, I don't think it has particularly to do with just a sister but a close female in the household who spent a great amount of time with them. In my case my mother was young when I was born and being an only child in a very close family I was brought up with values respecting women and socialising with many of my mother's work collegues. Being able to cook, clean, sew and talk to women of many ages, either socialising or for work I think was a result of that...but in so far as being able to converse in small-talk when out on my own well that is where my typical only-child shyness comes in ET xox

  A few men I know who are the most intuitive when it comes to women were the oldest male sibling raised by single mothers. I think it's just a matter of them actually being in a position to pay attention and work out that while we're complex, we're not complete aliens. Well, most of us.

  ...play an enormous role in our foundational development but that is expanded well beyond what you may or may not learn from your siblings as they to are only the sum total of the same experiences within the family as seen through others eyes. The complexity and life long impact of your childhood family dynamics will influence you throughout your life...unless you actively seek to identify them and change them. Change a habit, thought process, skill set or belief is not an easy task. It could however...fully explain the Meeka Syndrome. | I know, it sounds like I am winding up to deliver one of those more classic five paragraph essays but now that I know that no one reads them anyway...leave it there. | I blame my brother...that alone will get me on Dr. Phil. I'll go into more detail but only if Oprah comes back and I sure as hell ain't doing a show with Jerry Springer.

  Would be a huge hit on Jerry Springer, especially my mother who went around the country side having children and dumping us in homes or foster care. one she felt mercy for and he got adopted. I have been tempted to get the T-shirt If you cant feed them don’t breed them. You would not like to see some of my dark paintings at all, but they did get sold, and are now in Sydney on exhibit.   Midnight has hit the nail on the head , regarding family   But I do know that men with sisters or are close to a woman figure are intuitive and from my own experiences a little more flexible in their sensuality.   The boot can be on the other foot for women as well, perhaps men would not have been some creature from another planet if I had been around decent men as I was growing up

  ...as I am the eldest child, male and have a younger brother. At an early age, the dysfunctional dynamics of my family both of origin and extended put me into a rather unusual place in the family hierarchy...I fortunately learned a great deal from my mother as there was little if anything that I would have wanted to learn from my father. To this day, most of my close friends andtrusted business associates that I trust are females...not all, but most. | Quoting 'MissSarahCurious'A few men I know who are the most intuitive when it comes to women were the oldest male sibling raised by single mothers. I think it's just a matter of them actually being in a position to pay attention and work out that while we're complex, we're not complete aliens. Well, most of us. | I did leave home for the first time at 17 and tried to return shortly albeit just once....damn if she hadn't turned my room into her sewing and hobby room, so more of an extended visit. That said, in the four years that followed prior to her very untimely passing...we had the rare opportunity to become the best of friends. We respected each other and shared in each others lives....hence my belief to this day that John Gray should be publicly flogged. If we accept and celebrate the difference...we are not really aliens at all. | Well, except for Sarah maybe...but since she appreciates sarcasm, I won't worry about the space pod in her backyard.
