Gay men read maps like women Gay men employ the same strategies for navigating as women - using landmarks to find their way around - a new study suggests. But they also use the strategies typically used by straight men, such as using compass directions and distances. In contrast, gay women read maps just like straight women, reveals the study of 80 heterosexual and homosexual men and women. [glow=red,2,300] More[/glow] The whole article, IMO is worth the read. Please DO "click" on the [glow=red,2,300]More[/glow] Above. I figure that eventually they'll prove G/L folk as "superior" NOT because we're SMARTER, nor because we actually ARE, but because we're more "flexible" in ways we solve problems/see the world. As, IMO to varrying degrees, we have "bi-brains". There was actually a short story about this some years back, based in the near future where parents were HOPING that their child WAS "one of the chosen" (gay) they had a tomboyish daughter, and were having her "tested" because we were highly sought after employees. I THINK it was Katherine Forrest's work... but I could be wrong. She led you to believe that the parents were hoping she'd be "straight" later on you "get" they were hoping she was a lesbian. IMO, clever story... and IMO, probably not too far "off the mark"

AKA thinking outside the box. Corporations have been looking for this for years, apparently not in the right places. The docs told me I was good at this, they just couldnt get me back in the 'box'

The docs told me I was good at this, they just couldnt get me back in the 'box' Exactly! I'm so NOT into "boxes".... (Yeah, I know there's a joke there ) But everyone says that about me... in fact, though I TEND to arrive at a similar PLACE, however my way of GETTING there is no where CLOSE to ANYONE else's way of thinking. Not saying this is a GOOD nor a BAD thing... just I think that that is PART of my thinking outside of the box is all.
