Some are compiling the most elaborate 'Soap Opera' plots all day and night so I can see something to this. Guess what Sharon said today?

It's like overclocking your cpu to process epic amounts of clickbait.

You mean where NOT to go! Hah! Amirite? Guys?
Durff123
Fun fact about brain chemistry: Men can stop thought and think of nothing, women are always in perpetual thought.
egsanz2256
Not even gonna deny this. We girls be crazy at times
Joupasta
I'm assuming its because there are specific physiological differences that require more CPU on average.. or that this is nonsense.
pacobedejo
They're, on average, running spaghetti code with emotional memory leaks.

Quick solution: Try thinking less. Have long spans of your day where you have no thoughts or focus on anything at all. It's fun!

My wife needs a minimum of 14 hours of sleep per day or she will die.Especially on weekends because she knows I'll handle the daughter.
Janusha
Like when people say women are better drivers cause they crash less.
skwint
It's because men can offload high intensity thought processes to the GPU (Genital Processing Unit).

Nah, in terms of misogyny this one's pretty casual.

No, it's because of the emotional labor we carry every second of every day. At work, at home, with family, with friends. It never ends.

This makes sense. They work 9-5 but then have to come home and take care of a man/children. Of course they’re exhausted.

Good deal, where can I find a slave.. err.. wife like that?
RealDal
Most women will do this, for the “right” man. Speaking only about cis hereto couples btw.
JupitersWitch
That's why women, in general, are better at multi-tasking.
swagb98623
That's what makes you happy and you're sticking to it
theBirk
Yeah well, that's not how it works. Humans aren't made for multi-tasking, we've just got one CPU thread.
MenloPart
Right, like the girl that I know that perfectly multitasked playing on her phone and running over children?
votfgz
Nah, it's because men are actually already multitasking at all times: doing what they're currently doing, and thinking about sex.
YouJustGotRickRolled
That being said, why is there such an imbalance in logic based subjects like IT maths and philosophy?

Priming from a young age. In IT / Comp Sci, it's often culture as well.

What do you want to "insert query"? "I dunno what do you wanna do?"...

Sounds like the result of a relationship where the guy gets grumpy and punishes her for choosing wrong so she stops trying, to be honest.

Not in this case. Just basic indecision.

It takes up a lot of brain cells remembering perceived slights from thirty years ago. Not to mention thinking it's funny that...

I use a lot of brain cells to remember nice things people do and I try to focus on those when something bad happens, so it's double-tasking.

What's really funny though is "study says"... Same old BS, could be anything. Media is so garbage right now, "study" could be reddit poll.

Whats *really* funny, is that yellow (fake) journalism is not a new thing, nor are garbage studies; not a modern left wing conspiracy.

How about Chevrolet's survey saying they were more reliable than Honda, Toyota, and Ford?
CKOD
At least they weren't dumb enough to let Toyota to take them to court and get a legal judgment that Toyota is more reliable than them.

My understanding is they said "We have new ads we want to run anyway."

Rodogaar
Any clues on how they attribute this difference to women thinking more than men? Doesn't sound very neurosciency :P
DorthLous
(I'm not saying you're wrong in the fact that it is misreported, however. All the studies I know of are, so...)
DorthLous
That doesn't qualify it as "legit" though... Sample size, double blind, measured vs self-reported, repeatable, origin... So many factors.
Mumbles0225
Most studies are 100% factual, regardless, because it is impossible to acknowledge all variables. We don't even recognize that 2 things 1/

I never said that qualified it as legit. I'm saying it is legit. If you want to argue any of those points you'll have to say which.

Is a conplete and utter lie though. The article just jumps to conclusions (heh) based on the prior facts.

Most of what you said is not true, what did you base it on?

This is actually not what the article said at all. The study speculated that women multitask more and that men w/ complex jobs requiring (1)

Why would logic vs emotion use different amounts of energy?

Logical processes tend to be rather repetitive. Allowing one to recognize the situation and apply tried and true solutions
secretdpp
Emotional needs to weigh the variables and consider the pros and cons. Both are valid trains of thought as that's what epochs of evolution
secretdpp
Without much need of extra thinking thought going into it. If hungry, eat food. If tired sleep. Etc...
pennyeater
regions of the brain are laid out differently, and have different sizes. some things that arent instinctive are taxing, and others not.
ChrisMorray
Logical thought and calculations are brief and simple. Emotions are vastly more complex. Did you really think they were equal?
HappyEngineer
> And what do 'logical' people do when they finish a thought? Just put their brains on standby? I just don't see the clear connection.
HappyEngineer
Couldn't an emotional gut reaction be quicker than a chain of logical arguments? I have no idea, it's just weird to state it so confidently.

My wife couldn't make the decision about what to have for dinner if her life depended on it.
confanity
If she ever lived on her own, and isn't a skeleton, that must be false. Maybe you just get unpleasantly grumpy when she chooses "wrong"?
NateintheNorth
I know my finacee says she much prefers me to make the decision, because she just doesn't want to go through the effort of choosing.
confanity
If that works for you guys, more power to you. I just have my doubts about the general stereotype pile-on that we've been seeing.
SaltyInternetPirate
If she could, she wouldn't be thinking so much. That's how you inflate statistics!
carrionstorm
My wife as well. I drive a truck and have no idea what's available in the fridge to cook and she still asks me even when I'm not home.

Mine changes her mind halfway through the MEAL and just makes herself a frozen waffle. Im a trained chef, does not feel good. :-/

You were downvoted either by two women or by two guys trying to impress women

My bets the latter.

Tell her to guess what you're having for dinner and then have the first thing she guesses.

Me or my gf will come with 2-3 options that sound good, and the other picks out of those. So far every dinner we've had has been pretty good

My husband can never choose what to eat hes always like you choose and ill list shit and will say no to everything

That pisses me off I get idc what we have then he whines at what I make. Well make a decision and say what you want-I’m not a mind reader
swagb98623
Do you say no when he does choose? Not saying you're guilty in this but he could be gun shy
Dyslexicbirch
Nope its very rare that he chooses but if he does i go with it
CheekyBreeki
Just say "we're having X"
Dyslexicbirch
If im cooking he gets whatever i feel like making of we go out i end up choosing anyways

Near as I can tell anything even hinting that women are not perfect is basically gamergate teir misogyny and nazi rape murder.
PardusXY
Which is why female leads in movies/TV get so much hate, because lack of depth.

Eh, speaking as a woman, women aren't perfect. We're all imperfect people, regardless of gender.
