Women Have Excellent Navigational Abilities To High Calorie Foods

Randall Parker (FuturePundit) cites an article explaining that Women Have Excellent Navigational Abilities To High Calorie Foods:

The team asked the men and women to show the direction of a stall where they had bought a certain food, such as strawberries or tomatoes, using a compass.

A zero degree error meant the subjects were bang on target, while 90 degrees meant they were hopeless.

“Men were making 33 degree pointing error, when women were around 25 degree, which is a 27 per cent improvement,” said Mr Krasnow.

Women also did better with a high-calorie food, such as a doughnut, compared with a stick of celery.
