Cognitive differences between men and women

Just in case you were wondering, men are from another planet. Just kidding. We do think differently, however. Click on the post title and you'll discover what I did:
  • Men tend to be better at things like mathmatics 
  • Women tend to be better at things like language.
So, women: When someone tells you that women talk too much, tell them it's the way we're wired -- literally. There's a deficit in word-usage between men and women of several thousand words. See this article on "Sex Linked Lexical Budgets." It talks about how women use 20,000 words a day, while men use 7,000. You do the math. Given this information, it's no wonder why men think women talk too much, but just remember: We're wired that way.
