The hardwired difference between male and female brains could explain why men are 'better at map reading'

And why women are 'better at remembering a conversation'

Researchers found that many of the connections in a typical male brain run between the front and the back of the same side of the brain, whereas in women the connections are more likely to run from side to side between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

This difference in the way the nerve connections in the brain are “hardwired” occurs during adolescence when many of the secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair in men and breasts in women develop under the influence of sex hormones, the study found.

This explains why men are better at map reading, but it does not explain why they refuse to exercise that talent.

Boy do you seem to know the wrong men!

The explanation lies--as it so often does--somewhere in the area between one's remote control and one's couch.

Reading a map makes it so easy... It's more interesting to find your way by feel. Challenges are the spice of life. Plus it aggravates women so much. I like missing a turn when my wife is talking... "You missed the turn!"..."but I was listening to you!". Mostly Karen drives when we're going somewhere together. Heh. I hate driving.

I think most hackers are men.

And GPS is for pussies. No pun intended.

Yep, I have always had to let them find me...something about being feral and independent.
