Whether it is avidly following their daily horoscope, changing their name for luck, paying fortune tellers fortunes to predict their future, displaying butterflies everywhere, burning incense sticks or attending church/temples in droves, women seem to be much more involved with the intangible than men. Why?

i once read a book about terroism callse "shoot the women first"

apparently women once they give themselves to something do it wholeheartedly where as men do not. this made the women more dangerous

They are not more Spiritual...We drink much more than than them......

I'd say that they are more superstitiuos.

Men in Thailand are much more "spiritual".

It has to be said though, there are always more women in the temple in the mornings and also special occasions... the men always seem to be elsewhere.. Working in the fields, having a drink, playing cards...?

Women have much less power over their lives than men so they need all the help they can get from the intangible.

... and I don't think nationality or the religeon has anything to do with it. I agree with Camerata.

I think a good portion of it is learned culture..little girls seem to end up doing whatever mom does and little boys seem to end up doing whatevere dad does.....the same in every culture I've ever heard of and doesn't matter what mom or dad does.

gets pretty boring upcountry I take it

Maybe women just keep up appearances better.
