I saw a special on that once about that on TLC or Discovery or something. They had only proven it in birds, but were studying the chemicals that make up our internal body clocks. In the birds (and theorized in people), the females were better at telling what time something was, or rather, better at doing something at a set time, say 6 o’clock, while the males judges how much time had passed say “6 hours.” I have found this to be true, anecdotally, but I think it’s worth researching. Of course, there are always exceptions, but I have found that males are better at things for a duration of time (which includes being to work on time, because they recognize the duration of time it takes to get there), but can often get caught up in doing something, and miss something scheduled at a specific time, while I have found women to be able to have reminders, etc. while sometimes having no clue how long something will take.
I have often heard that men compartmentalize things more, while women have everything on their plates at once, and I wonder/suppose it’s just part of the biological differences that God gave us, to make men and women work in marriage as a team.
Sound reasonable. I just know that if a woman is supposed to be somewhere at a certain time, or be ready to go at a certain time, .....they aren’t.
In a similar vein, research has shown that men navigate by creating maps in their heads while women navigate by landmarks. You can screw up a woman by shuffling landmarks and you can screw up a man by changing the distances between waypoints.
That’s interesting. And it would explain things like why a woman can do something like take care of 3 toddlers while cooking dinner, making halloween costumes, etc, and a man will forget and burn the dinner while running to see what one of the children is doing. Makes perfect sense. Interestingly, as I’ve gotten older I am not nearly as good at all that multitasking I was able to do when my kids were little (they are all grown and gone now) and I wonder how I was able to do all of that.
