Re: DarkAngel's Ramblings, etc.
I tend to be that way about touching too in public. I'll do it if they really want it, but I won't really be comfortable with it.
Another good example is the shopping difference. Supposedly goes back to the traditional roles again. Men are hunters. To a hunter one deer is just as good as another. You kill the first one that you come across that fits your needs, take it back to the home, skin it, gut it, eat it. Yum. Women being the gatherers that had to walk around, taking inventory, noting when things were growing, how much there was, just when something will be perfectly ripe before picking it, etc. Thus when shopping a guy goes "Oh, a shirt with a pocket and a collar, DONE! And the woman tends to go keeping careful inventory of the store, tracking sales and deals, asking and knowing when they'll get new shipments in, etc, etc, etc.
