There are a lot of studies of human sexuality indicating the opposite. Most sexologists suggest that men are turned on by visual stimuli, while women are turned on by other (often higher ranked) stimuli. There are also many tests indicating that men are better at spatial tasks. Both could be wrong. But if it's correct, it could indicate that men are more visual. I'd like you to be correct in this ;-) But I'm not as sure as you seem to be. Another thing. How do you define being visual? Is being visual, being good with colours, spatial abilities or what is it? I'd say that it is a bit of both. Is visual abilities a given (genetic) talent or is it an ability that can be trained? I think it is, and that strengthens your arguments.

A lot of women are busy with husbands, children, and other family members, too busy to waste time spending hours on a list. Take ERN who left to spend more time with her family. You will find this prevalent throughout the Net, not just on this list. Women are more busy with relationships on the whole. Less argumentative on the whole (these are all vast generalizations), and don't spend a lot of time debating issues in various forums. There are exceptions, but that's the general rule. Also men DO tend to be gear heads while women don't. I am pretty uninterested in most of the technical camera threads on list. I read some, not all, depending if I feel it will concern me at some point. I am much more interested in photos and OT threads than lots of the other threads. I am also interested in computer stuff, PS and printers profiles, etc., because I am a computer buff. But to say women are not visual oriented is just phooey. That seems to be fairly equally divided between the genders, it just depends on what fields they have been allowed, over the centuries, to express themselves in. And there have been a fair number of famous women photographers anyway. Also, look at Hollywood, more and more, given the chance, women are becoming directors, producers, etc. But they have to have the chance first.
