Are women less focused than men?

It is because men only do one thing--look after themselves. Women have to worry about everything and everyone. There are just too many tasks to be done that we do not know what to accomplish first and last. Men, however, have only one goal at a time.

Not really. I know a lot of women who are way more focused than men are, but the thing is, the minute that you get married and have a family, you focus shifts because you now have those people to worry about.

Well, women seem to be more focused on 'getting it all done'. I've experienced the exact things that you describe. One thing always leads to another and I start out to complete one task only to be led into about fifteen others. This is definitely an asset and not 'distraction'. Most men can't, don't, or won't do it.

I think that some women(and men)are more focused than others. I have always been a multi-tasker. Drives me crazy to not be doing several things at once. Usually Mylotting and watching tv. Haha Less focused? No. Just less able to find any of it really serious I think. Maybe?

I think that a lot of people think that women achieve less than men, but I don't believe that it is true. One of the main things that is a problem is the fact that women have to take time out of their career to have children which means that they might not have as much time as men to be able to climb the career ladder. I think that women can be more focussed, and the amount of work that they can get done around the house during the day can be really amazing, even though a lot of people don't seem to class it as work for some reason.

As someone who cannot just sit and watch TV even I guess I cannot concentrate on one thing. I sit there and knit or quilt, I get all twitchy doing only one thing..lol

I do not think that woman are less focused than men as a rule. From what I've observed in life the problem may be that women have more to focus on than men typically do. Think about it. Frequently it is women who are doing the majority of the housekeeping, childcare, plus working and volunteering. No wonder we, as a gender, tend to forget.

I dont think you are easily distracted.. Your a woman that is trying to keep up with the endless little things that need to be done... Those little things can easily take up your whole day and still feel like you havent accomplished anything.. Women generally (not all) have several full time jobs.. A typical 9 to 5 work day at the "office", then there is taking care of the kids making sure that their fed, clean, content, and not getting into trouble.. along with trying to make the most of the time that you have with them.. Then there's that endless job the house.. Something always needs to be cleaned, restocked, and or picked up.. Not putting the men down or nothing.. but from my own experinces with some men.. your lucky if they change the toliet roll and take the trash out.. If men had the same work load as a women then one of two things will happen.. One the work load will be more even; or both would be distrated easily lol!!

Hi, In India the society is men oriented. Generally women are less focused than men. They are working in all the fields with men. But they have to many tasks. But I always think that in western or European countries this would not like this.

I think yes, women do not make that much focuse on work because all time our mind is here and there. but men are more focuse. even men use their left side of brain more than ladies. we used our right part of brain more. that also can be a reason for it.

I feel that women are more focused than men are. Of course women need to multitask, and that is why focus is often being pulled in so many directions, but we handle that gracefully.
