The time and space judgment thing is interesting to me because my husband has such quick reflexes. While I’m still gasping/reacting, he’s already caught the falling object in mid-air.

I don’t know what this correlates to, but I’ve noticed that most men have a harder time just sitting still. It’s like their body needs to be in constant motion. Drives me batty sometimes, b/c the men in my family are constantly wanting to do something!

My mom dated a guy who said, lovingly of course, that coordination struck women once every ten seconds. I wonder if part of what he was really saying wasn’t that the women around him really were not as able as he was to judge how far they were from the coffee table they whacked their knee on or how fast the dog was really running toward their feet.

And men’s brain also have a smaller Corpus callosum – the bundle of nerves which connects the left and right hemisphere of the brain. This adds to the recovery issues you mentioned – women use information of both hemispheres more easily because they are better connected.

I like the part about men’s brains needing stimmulation. It correlates nicely with their generally higher tolerance of dangerous situations and of looking for stimulation through action oriented activities.
