Q: A recent study says that because men need them more, they are better at doing this than women?
A: reading a map
Men are much better than women at reading a map, research reveals. Of course, that’s because guys need to use them women are less likely to get lost. Women get where they’re going quicker because they’re better at remembering landmarks. “Women develop a certain intuition and make better judgment calls,” explains Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at England’s Kent University. “Men make a big deal about it and turn the most basic tasks into a very big deal. They tend to over complicate it.” The study confirms the longtime belief that men and women developed different skill sets thousands of years ago because the fellas were hunters and the ladies were gatherers. In other words, men read maps, women recall routes.
