Becker suggested that was the evolutionary reason why women must talk to each other every day. Another behaviour Becker says women can attribute to evolution, is females' ability to do more than one thing at a time. It's part of Becker's theory that when women went out gathering, they also carried on several conversations, watched out for danger, kept track of each other, and watched any small children they brought with them. According to Becker, this multi-tasking is so ingrained in women's natures, that if they aren't doing more than one thing at a time, they feel guilty. You see this in the mornings when women are on their way to work.
Men find driving enough.
Whether these differences arose from our evolutionary past, or from some other source, Becker's advice to couples applies. If we spent as much time trying to understand each other as we do trying change each other, we'd get along a lot better, and we'd laugh a lot more. We welcome your feedback. All rights reserved.
