Yes. It's known that women can read, listen to the radio, watch TV and have a conversation all at the same time. Which is very diferent from men, who can do all the above, but one thing at a time.

(And that's why when we're reading, women have to tell us things twice. Once to bring us out from "reading mode" and another to actually listen what they're saying. )

Wrong. Women have to tell men things twice regardless of whether you were reading at the time or not (generally speaking that is.)

Did I just say that out loud?

Not necessarily. I'm female and I can't remember ever reading a romance novel.

You should. Romance novels will take over the world

They're like candy or potato chips. You can't have just one.

I read a few when I was in Jr. High (Middle School to the rest of you), but I've always found I preferred science fiction, fantasy, and mystery to the exclusion of most anything else.

I'm a female, tend not to read romance, and get sodding irritated when people assume I can hold a conversation and read at the same time and start talking to me when I'm reading (I can do both at the same time, but over 99% of the time I'm more interested in reading than talking to whoever has interrupted me )
