It always seems like when I have to babysit then Rabbi Yisroel Reisman's shiur is the most interesting.
From the bits and pieces I heard third-hand:
Why was it that Bilaam was gung-ho on cursing Bnei Yisroel, but then when he arrives all he can emit is a bracha?

Because hearing and seeing are two different things. Once he saw, all he could do was bless.

I don't know that they are more emotional inside, they are wired differently i believe. And they dont need to talk about it as much as girls do
