Difference Between Men and Women

I am allowed only to speak from the perspective of a young man. I will do all in my power to not over generalize although this prompt does require a generalization to be made about all males and females, who are separate and inherently unique other than their sex. I find it hard to believe however that their are only physical differences. I believe that the major cognitive difference between men and women lies in their internal motivation.
Based on my age limiting observations up to this point, I believe that men seek appreciation. That would explain why most all men seek power. People in power are given honor, by custom, but still an expression of appreciation. In most past cultures, man provided for the family while the women were restricted. In that position women were forced to needing a man, thus also resulting in false appreciation. Men of that time hated free thinking women, who in rebellion took away the false appreciation, which men need. So they held them down with physical advantages until society became more sophiscated.
However, women, I believe, aspire to be wanted as opposed to needed. Want is often showed with attention. That is the attraction that some women have to stripping. Attention, though not long lasting, still makes you feel wanted. Women do not want someone to do something for them only because they are required, but because of desire. Women still want independence however, as every living creature but are chastised for it.
Dull men believe that material goods and necessities are the only way to achieve appreciation when actually if he were to give positive attention to a woman she would appreciate him. Women sometimes unintentionally or intentionally deny appreciation for more attention which make dull men try to give more necessities or leave the empty relationship.
