I saw another study that compared the average number of words spoken daily by the two genders. The results were quite lopsided, as I recall.

If I had the choice, I prefer solid wood over compressed wood chips.

I would guess that this is generally true, though there are women who can do these things as well as men.

After watching the husband assemble Ikea stuff, I’d never try.

(I must say, I do hear a lot of very interesting new words coming from him, while he’s doing it...)

Researchers at the University of Tromso in Norway recently published a study showing that men are better than women at assembling IKEA furniture.

I used to watch usability testing at a former job, and... yeah. Anyway, it s not something any human being couldn t tell you.

Women are pretty good at assembling babies after the first screw is inserted.

Makes sense.

It may be a stereotype but women are definitely much better suited for raising children than men. Including the fact that women are the food source for the first few years and carry the child for 9 months, women are also a lot more perceptive and communicative and empathetic. I believe it is so that the mother can assess the health of their child and provide assistance if needed. That kind of interaction is necessary for the survival of the child.

These characteristics are seen at a very early age where boys struggle with writing, a form of verbal expression, whereas girls do very well, and girls have difficulty with math.

This is typical but not absolute.

This article demonstrates how libtards have a strong need to ascribe nature vs. nurture opposite of reality. They want to believe homosexuality is 100% nature while geospatial and STEM skills are 100% nurture.

That’s going to change, with gals like one of my granddaughters. Every time I’m asked to put together Ikea furniture, my 3-year-old granddaughter wants to help and she understands the how-to manuals. Not even 3-1/2 yet. She can handle a hammer and screwdrivers with ease. Pretty amazing. I gave her a kids toolset for her birthday and she’s happy building things.I think she gets the curiousity from her dad, he’s an electronics inventor running his own business out of his home. Two days ago she built a seesaw out of pencils and tape, it works; her own idea out of the blue. I think this new generation of kids is producing gals who want to build like the guys.

I keep a studio apartment in Germany. 99% of all Germans shop at IKEA. And for good reason. It’s a great store.

That being said I have never seen a more angry or dour group of men than wandering through the aisles of IKEA. I am confident that for 80% of all couples that go to IKEA break up withing 1 week. It’s the beginning of the end going to that store as a couple.

IKEA must be the Swedish word for hideously ugly.

If you follow the directions carefully, laying things out in the same direction as the drawings and lookingfor L and R, which seem to be new indications they are putting in for their American market, you’ll do okay. That said, I was so faithfully following the directions that when I dropped the manual and picked it up and accidentally opened to an optional left-side orientation for a desk, I faithfully readapted and ended up with a cord channel on the front of the desk. That’s ok, I use it for a cup holder...because I sure wasn’t about to take it apart and reassemble.

That said, IKEA has the easiest assembly furniture ever, and the stuff is solid and lasts.
