Spatial ability is located in both brain hemispheres for women but does not
have a specific measurable location as it does in males.
Only about ten percent of women have spatial abilities that are dynamic
as those of the best males. Around 90 percent of women have limited
spatial ability. Full stop.

To some people, this research may appear sexist, because 'we' have
strengths and abilities at which males and females excel and the pursuits
and occupations in which biology has given each clear advantages over
the other despite legislation to he contrary.
Spatial ability means being able to picture in one's mind the shape of
things, their dimensions, coordinates, proportions, movement, and
geography. It also involves the ability to imagine an object being rotated
in space, navigating around an obstacle course, and seeing things from
a three dimensional perspective. Its purpose is to work out the movement
of a target and know how to hit it.

Iowa State University professor of psychology Dr. Camilla Benbow analyzed the brain scans of more than a million boys and girls to study their spatial ability and reported that the differences between the sexes were already striking at the age of four. She found that while girls were excellent at seeing two dimensions in the brain, boys had the ability to see a third dimension , giving depth. On three
dimensional video tests, boys outstripped girls
in spatial ability by a ratio of four to one and the lowest scoring boys
often outclassed the best girls. For a total picture see brain scan studies from the Institute of Psychiatry, London.

Women simply do not have good spatial skills because they evolved chasing little else besides men...what's the problem....
Why women can't read maps is NOT the same as why men refuse directions..
"If men didn't design maps that way, we wouldn't have to turn them upside down,"
many women complain, even in basic Map Reading in the military.

riyablossom: Its always suprised me how males think so much differently than females on many issues esp. emotional . Its like you go all sad and touchy on issues they can be outright cold about or rather find you totally incomprehensible to have that reaction even.

As women .. i guess most women like men to be prompt in staying in touch , displaying affection ,calling , speaking ..... just being there.
I guess men might expect the same of women .. not sure.

I was talking to a friend this morning and we sort a concluded we must be doing the man's share of thinking and feeling too

I am not generalizing but my observation and experience so far.

And Guys .. do you find a lot of women emotionally a bit too over sensitive or say .. difficult to understand ?

So ... people what do you think ? any experiences to share ?

Aries01: Hey sweetheart.. just lookin over ur posts there.. had no idea you were feeling so down ... look honey, if he loves you (which he obviously does) he doesn't NEED to speak to you everyday... does that make sense... security brings with it a sense of peace and comfort, and doesn't need continuous nurturing.. that is a very health thing.. all I can suggest by way of advice is occupy your time as best you can with friends and family (or if nobody around at the mo) do things that you enjoy... when you do speak to him.. make the most of it, and let it be a fun enjoyable time for both of you, rather than a reminder of how much you miss him.. it'll all be fine... and just think.. when he gets back what it'll be like ...

I'm here if you need me honey..

The British Cartography Society, however reports that 50 percent of its members are female and that 50 percent of its members of those
who design and edit maps are also women. "Map design is a two dimensional task in which women are equally as capable as men," said leading British Cartographer Alan Collison.

"The difficulty that most women have is reading and navigating with a map because they need a three dimensional perspective to navigate a route.

I therefore design tourist maps that have a three dimensional perspective---they show trees, mountains, and other
land-marks. Women have much greater understanding and success with this type of map.

Our tests show that men have the ability to turn a two dimensional map into a three dimensional view in their minds, but most women do not seem able to do this." Women dramatically improve their navigational skills using perspective maps.

Another interesting finding is that males score high when navigating with a group leader who verbally tells them new directions at each point on a given route, even in the military.

Women, by contrast, perform abysmally when given verbal instructions. This shows how males visualize the correct direction and route to take, whereas females perform better with a three-dimensional perspective map.

This is just one example that 'equality' has absolutely no relevance whatso ever. We still must depend on each other and accept each other for whatever abilities we have, and appreciate them; not compete against each other. %)

cardsfan24: I like a sensitive woman, shows she needs me,and im sensitive to her feelings, unless she is being overdramatic...

roseofsharon: At what point do you decide its not being "sensitive" but being "over-dramatic"??
