I was in the bookshop the other day and came across this title.Had a quick scan of the back and it makes alot of sense.Why do we women think too much about things which arent really important in the greater scheme of things?

hi fee i think its because as women, we are the head of the house, so we have to think for the family and 'hubby' to make sure evreything runs smoothly and safely. Its just our intuition that makes us look into everything. MMMM another word is nosey, but we mean no harm, just to protect. lol sandra

Do women think too much, or men think too little? I remember reading about a survey once that showed that on average men think about sex every 7 minutes (can't remember the exact times). Not sure whether I was more surprised that they thought about anything else, or that they thought at all. I have to think for husband and sons who would leave the house with no coat in the winter, or water bottles on a hot day, or their housekeys etc. This is my excuse for the blonde moments in my life!

Linda What do you mean "says"? After he's said it once you should make sure he doesn't say it again! I remember having a problem with setting up the video/loading a camera and my husband said "It's designed for idiots to use, come on" to which I replied "I'm not an idiot, you'd better do it". H.

An amusing and interesting book on this subject is "Why men don't listen and women can't read maps" by Allan and Barbara Pease. Janice - who shares a house with husband and 2 sons Aaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Janice Me too! And I can read maps, I just can't read maps while my husband is driving. A while ago I was on a course with a work colleague (female). When we left and drove to the end of the road she asked which direction "Turn right" I said. "Are you sure?" she queried. "YOU ARE JUST LIKE MY HUSBAND" I yelled "WHY ASK IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO BELIEVE ME"
