Women have a number of superior physical traits compared to men, and having a better sense of smell is one of them. They also, on average, have better hearing. They also have the phenomenal ability to read other messages into seemingly totally innocent statements made by men. That would include yours truly.
Don’t you mean, read messages hidden in those seemingly innocent statements?
As I understand it, women can see more colors than men, and presumably finer graduations of color. Next time I mix paint for a painting job, I’ll get a woman to check to see if it’s evenly mixed. :-)
