That's why women are smarter, more mature and more socially adept than us. It's a good thing we're stronger and meaner or we'd be totally screwed.
I learned this watching ducks. I found I started obsessing with learning stuff about their behavior, then realized that no woman I've ever known would sit there like an idiot watching stupid ducks. |
Said it before I think its a bell curve kind of thing , and Im surely at one end of it. I'm certainly not hardwired to multitask. It takes intense effort for me to remember and do the things in life to keep home , body and mind together. Quite stressful actually.
I was bought up in a small rural community, and the expectation was I'd marry a farmer and have a passel of kids after a brief stint working as a secretary. what a disaster that would have been.....
