If you wonder why your male colleague flashes that cunning smile every time he’s able to avenge himself even of the slightest wrong you did to him, then stop worrying as it’s of no use he will do that always as men are made like that.

They feel happy at the misfortune of people they don’t like.



Yes, a study conducted by University College London, after monitoring male and female brains, suggests that men derive greater satisfaction in taking revenge than their female counterparts. They have a cruel tendency of enjoy inflicting pain on their foes, while women empathies with people they both liked and disliked. And Germans call this phenomenon of getting pleasure out of someone else’s pain as schadenfreude



Lead researcher Dr Tania Singer said: “Men expressed more desire for revenge and seemed to feel satisfaction when unfair people were given what they perceived as deserved physical punishment.



This is considered to indicate that men play a predominant role in maintaining justice and issuing punishment. But this does not mean that women do not want justice, but it is jus that they are not so harsh and have soft corner for everybody.
