Men (GENERALLY) tend to be linear thinkers, and task oriented and don't multi task well. Women tend to be more organic thinkers, multitask incredibly well.
This is just the way it is.
And that's why when women try to talk to men when they are watching TV or surfing the net, they get a "Did you say something, Honey?" fifteen minutes after they've asked the question.
This is just the way it is.
Though if you teach a male to play a musical instrument before the age of about 6, they tend to develop a brain which is structurally more like that of a female than like that of other males.
I agree.
Multi-task is my middle name. I don't see it as a bad thing either. It has its advantages and its faults.
Men think in straight lines point A to B to C etc. all the way to Z.
Women think in webs where they can see how A gets tied to F later and if they do K now, it will make B & C go much faster and totally make it possible to skip M thru S. That way they get to Z much quicker and can go shopping for shoes.
Or in my case, sinks.
I've never bought this line of thinking strictly because of anecdotal evidence. CEOs and general officers are overwhelmingly male at this point in time. If people think they don't do an incredible amount of multi-tasking, well...
