too funny, I am exactly the same. but I still hold hopes to write my breakout novel someday. My wife is an accountant and is far better at straight math, but theoretical math kicks her butt.

also seems to me women can see whats there and men can see what could be there. 3D visualization and theoretical math seem related so in this I think men are predisposed more so than women
