| Men are better than Women, proof inside lol, ok not better. Just different :P I did however find the findings of this study interesting: Men really do think differently to women...and have a better sense of direction finds study | Mail Online
Basically it says that generally men have better spatial awareness than women, therefore allowing them an easier time reading maps and (ideally) not getting lost as much. The reason I find it interesting is because the differences are not due to upbringing or other environmental factors, but genes and the way the male brain works.
Without putting to much thought in it this morning, I think it might play to a time when human males might have had to go out for miles hunting for food, while the females stayed closer to home. The males would have had to find their way home if they found food or not. (Hence, Rush hour traffic and the stay at home mom was invented...)
Another semi-related study I read about some time back said that the reason males were able to tolerate higher levels alcohol better than females was due to the way the livers processed the alcohol. If I remember correctly, the male liver was able to process the alcohol's much faster than females, and getting on though the system at a faster rate.
I've just always found these studies funny in a way. Out of all the stereotypes, some of them are actually scientifically viable.

And Fuzz come on thats not all true. What about the pregnant man that has come about as of late. That argument is DEAD!  Technically he is a man now....

| BS Matt. Woman can reproduce, MEN DO NOT have the capability built in us. If we did, we'd be females...or hermorphitites (something like that anyway lol). That is a woman with a bad beard. Big whop, I've seen better beards on some of the waitresses down at the waffle house.
Fuzz: Why do men get lost more? Because, and this is backed up by more research, Men are bigger risk takers than women. So instead of stopping first and asking for directions, we would rather just pick a direction and see where it goes.

Gah! I can't help it! Quote:
An English professor wrote these words:
"A woman without her man is nothing"
on the chalkboard and asked the students to punctuate it properly.
All the males in the class wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."
All the females in the class wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing"
Punctuation is powerful.

| Hmmm...women are best at running the house. That's why men should stay out of it as much as possible. God forbid we dirty something up, pee on the toilet seat, or drink out of the container. Hunting is more fun than being hen-pecked anyday. Why do you think men are considered hunter/gatherers anyway?
