WHY WOMEN CANNOT READ MAPS AND MEN LOSE THEIR KEYS

 

I can identify with this one, but not only do I misplace my keys, I tend to lose my eye glasses, my check book, the remote, etc..  And what is this, life is so unfair, not only do women look better than us, they smell better, they are softer to touch, they have more and nicer curves than we do, and now I find out they use both sides of their brain and we only use one!!!!   That being said, I have to say the person with the most uncanny sense of direction  that I know is my sister. 

 

 

 

 

 

WOMEN'S DIFFICULTY IN READING MAPS, AND MEN'S USELESSNESS IN FINDING THINGS RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSES COULD BE EXPLAINED BY NEW RESEARCH

by Richard Alleyne, Science Correspondent -- The Telegraph UK on Line edition

 

Scientists believe the reason the sexes differ is due to their different roles in evolution.Men had to hunt and stalk their prey, so became skilled at navigation, while women foraged for food and so became good at spotting fruits and nuts close by.

The theory emerged from a study which looked at the different ways in which men and women appreciate art.

 

 

 

Researchers discovered that a brain region called the parietal lobe, which governs spatial awareness, is active in both men and women when they admire a "beautiful" picture or photograph.

But while neurons on both sides of the brain were stimulated in women, only those in the right hemisphere were activated in men.

The left side deals with closer range objects while the right is better at co-ordinates.

The scientists, led by Dr Francisco Ayala from the University of California, and reported in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, believe differences in the way men and women appreciate beauty probably arose early in the evolution of early modern humans, say the researchers.

 

 

 

 

Hunting, traditionally done by men, required a "co-ordinating" ability to track animals accurately while on the move. Closer spatial awareness was better suited to foraging for fruit, roots or berries, a job mainly carried out by women.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Women tend to be more aware than men of objects around them, including those that seem irrelevant to the current task, whereas men out-perform women in navigation tasks," the scientists wrote. "Men tend to solve navigation tasks by using orientation-based strategies involving distance concepts and cardinal directions, whereas women tend to base their activities on remembering the location of landmarks and relative directions, such as "left from", or "to the right of"."

 

 

 

 
  

WOMEN WITH LARGE CHINS MORE UNFAITHFUL

WOMEN WITH LARGE CHINS ARE MORE LIKELY TO CHEAT

Women with larger chins are more likely to cheat on their partners, according to research

by Lucy Cockcroft  

THE TELEGRAPH.CO.UK Online Edition  Lifestyle/Health section

Psychologists have found that adult females who have prominent chins are more sexually active than those with softer features, yet are less attractive to men looking for a long-term partner.

Larger chins on women are often caused by a high level of the male growth hormone testosterone, present in all women in various amounts. (Well, that explains those East German Female weightlifters from the late 60s.)

The hormone also increases sexual assertiveness in a woman, a tendency more commonly attributed to males.

The researchers, from four universities across the US and Canada, took a group of young women and questioned them on their sexual histories and fantasies.  (Do you ever wonder if some of these researchers are just bored beyond belief, and happen to have a little grant money left over to spend on some of these scientific studies?)

These women were then rated by a group of men on their desirability as a life partner.

It was concluded that men will shun women with such masculine features when looking for a long-term partner because they fear being cuckolded. (This has nothing to do with raising chickens, my Dear Reader.)

Psychologists believe it is linked to their evolutionary desire to have a partner who will produce children for only one man.  (What about our evolutionary desire to have someone else spear the Mammoth, barbecue it, and get us a beer to two also!!)

Authors of the study, published in the journal Personality And Individual Differences, said: "The findings are important in demonstrating that perceptions of women as desirable and trustworthy long-term mates can be reliably gleaned by men from viewing only the women's facial features. (This study was done by men right?)

"Results suggest that information about women's sexual unrestrictedness, which is related to their risk of infidelity, can potentially be conveyed by the masculinity of women's faces."  (If your son ever says to you, I want a woman just like Dad, take his science books away!!)

The theory has many examples in the celebrity world.  (And then they only give two examples!!!???)

Actress Meg Ryan, 47, who has a strong chin, famously cheated on her husband Dennis Quaid with her co-star Russell Crowe.

However, the actress Joanne Woodward, who has a dainty jawline, was happily married for 50 years to Hollywood icon Paul Newman until his death in September. (She was married to PAUL NEWMAN!!!!  How could she not remain faithful!! No offense was meant to Mr. Quaid)

(Would Ms Zena - or maybe Mistress Zena would be better - be considered a large chinned manly women who is hormone induced to cheat?) 

Dr Lorne Campbell, a psychologist from Western Ontario University, who took part in the project, wrote: "It is difficult to conceal physical features, such as facial characteristics, that are partly governed by testosterone and reliably correlate with one's sexual history and attitudes.

The research is the first to our knowledge to suggest that a more masculine facial appearance in women might convey their sexual unrestrictedness and perhaps their long-term mate quality."  (This study mentions nothing about the way the women are dressed, or if the men were only showed face pictures, that would have a lot of bearing on the outcome.)   

Dr. Oh says: If this study is followed to a logical conclusion, "Manly Women" should be found to be more popular in the dating circuit,  and "Womenly Women" would be more popular as a feeling for commitment and marriage comes slowly to the male brain.  Over all, "Dr. Oh states. " Geeesss these guys are scientists/researchers who have spent way too much time in labs and on science research.  Get out of the Lab!!! Find a woman!!"

 
  

MORE ON THE MYSTERY OF MEN AND WOMEN

Sometimes a picture speaks louder than words.  Hey add some more pictures, dialog,  background music, characters, and the subject at hand, and you have the eternal mini series!!

   

MEN AND WOMEN --- HOW DO WE EVER GET ALONG??

I have often pondered the marvelous differences between men and women, physical, emotional, the way we view things, all one of the great mysteries.   If it works between them, the sum is far greater than the two.  And if it does not work, sometimes One is not the loneliest number, sometimes Two is a far lonelier number.  How to get it to work, that is another great mystery. . . 

    

 

An English professor wrote the following words on the blackboard:

"A Woman without her Man is nothing"

He then asked his students to puntuate it.

The males tended to puntuate it:

"A Woman, without her Man, is nothing."

The females tended to puntuate it this way:

A Woman: without her, man is nothing." 

 

We were thinking of painting some of the rooms, and she  asked me what I thought of "this color?"

And I simply answered, "It looks like the same red you showed me a minute ago, and the same red you showed me  two minutes ago."

To which she replied with a tone that cannot be described, but every husband knows the one I  mean: "This IS Spring Morning Rose!!!"

I know my way to the Dog House quite well.
