Blokes may always be keener to show off their construction skills but it's the fairer sex who is much more skilled when it comes to assembling furniture at home, according to experts."Men never look at the directions and have the most problems with construction because they always think they can do that. Men throw them in a pile and then something goes missing."It is all down to women approaching the task calmly and following instructions from beginning to end. The woman first sorts the parts in an orderly way," the Head of Swedish furniture giant Ikea's German operation, Petra Hesser, said.In fact, according to her, many researches have also shown "this to be true", 'The Daily Telegraph' reported.Agreed psychologist Gladeana McMahon, "Men often joke about women not being very good at putting together furniture but it is not the case at all. Women are far more patient and look at things in a much calmer way than men."But women take it more in their stride and, importantly, are not afraid to ask for help. Men won't ask for help often as they see it as an affront to their masculinity."Women are good at multi-tasking and use both sides of their brains, which helps them to work things out, whereas men are much more linear in their approach," she was quoted as saying.
