Why Men can’t hold a conversation and watch TV at the same time

In order to understand why this is, we need to look at how the brain works. The left and right brain hemispheres are connected by a bundle of nerve fibres called the corpus callosum. This cable lets both sides of the brain exchange information. Neurologist Roger Gorski, of the University of California, in LA, confirmed that a woman’s brain has a corpus callosum that is ten per cent thicker than a man’s, and has up to 30 per cent more connections between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

The hard wired neurological aspects of gender differences might be news to some. The rest everyone has probably heard, such as women develop language skills earlier and are generally better at expressing ideas earlier in life. While men are better then average map readers. Studies like this published in the popular press almost never show you the variance scale. Thus some women might fell because they’re not great at multi-tasking they are to some degree failures. Likewise with men that look at a map and see nothing but red lines and numbers and feel like real goof balls because they’re not living up to the latest study. There is a lot of variation between individuals and these studies point up general tendencies not what you are capable of as a unique person. At least that’s my take.
