    PBS did a special on the development of male and female children. I remember it being stated that women have more connections in their brain than men (probably worded a lot better on the television program). They also set up a scenario with a child sitting on the sidewalk of a busy street and way more women than men stopped and asked the child if their parents were looking after them.

    i ask for directions all the time, just never from women. watching them try to apply the picture on the map to the reality around them is like watching president bush try to discuss the middle east without mentioning 9/11 and freedom.

    well sorry to pop your bubble conor but i have an excellent sense of direction and have never gotten lost in my life. i can read a map and am also quite adept at orienteering.

    lie beside me

    I read somewhere that men use route #s while women use landmarks.

    I am like Cpt Parmenter from F Troop when it comes to maps. I do not back up well.

    Gender is not sex.

    I was a tomboy until the boys didn't want to play with me anymore cos they were interested in the girls who wore dresses. I used to beat up my male cousin constantly.

    Never trust yahoo directions.

    I can sit for hours and never critique my husband on his driving. I do critque him for not stopping to take pictures of churches, funny signs, and Amish girls on bicycles, though.

    Viva la difference. I don't want to be married to myself; I'd drive myself crazy with my absentmindedness and my usual thinking of 20 things at once habit. Plus I never close drawers, which drives my husband crazy and I'm always misplacing garden implements. But I can do percentages better than my husband.

    I think we all have masculine and feminine qualities, altho it was easier in the 50's when the roles were clearly deliniated. I wish I had time to iron sheets, for example. Well, actually, I do have the time but use it for other things, like cleaning the cat box.

    Well as long as I wasn't in fear of my life from your aggressive and stupid driving techniques you'd never hear a sound out of me. :)

    Jeanie, i bet Soulsinging meets his women in the mental institution ;) and because of this we women shouldn't be worried too much about what he says, cause his view is distorted :)

    What is this I see (I dont believe this)
    You dont come home to me
