Originally posted by catfoodtimI dont agree. after 4 years of marriage I think women are probably skilled in a greater variety of things as long as they are allowed to do those things one at a time. Just dont expect to get things done simultaneously like most guys i know. notice how most women get frustrated if it doesnt go off as planned? men from my own and friends experience tend to be better at making it up as you go along and don't have to do it to any particular order.
I've been really irritated today by an idiotic IT support guy who agreed with the women in the office that men cannot multi-task.
Am I the only man in this whole bloody world who finds such sweeping generalisations offensive? Some men can, some men can't. In the same way that some women can and some can't.
He tried to tell me it was evolution. Wh ...[text shortened]... ?
Is there a spurious evolutionary reason to back up this nonsense that I'm not aware of?
you only have to watch a couple shopping together and individually to see this.. imho...
Men can multitask. Here's your proof.
Carry a 40 pound beast on your shoulder while standing upright.
Have 15 minutes worth of difficult music memorized.
Know where your feet go next while taking 200 steps a minute.
Look around to see if anybody is off so if needed, you can adjust.
Watch the Drum Major flap their arms.
Be in the physical and mental condition to do this for 10 hours a day in the sun or do it in front of 10,000 people.
Any questions?
