One of the problems that I have been looking at is the nature of problem solving itself. Many people on this forum have called me many names but none of them have nailed it:

I am a Nerd. Which probably means that I am not qualified enough to be a Geek. So you have 'Normal' and you have 'Nerd' and the difference here is one of speed. The nerd is like a car driver while the normal person is like a pedestrian. The nerd solves 10 problems while the normal solves one problem. Elliot Rodger was a nerd and he had a car! You can see how that interaction works out.

But there's a problem. While it may seem great to solve 10 problems when the guy next to you is still solving problem number one, what you have is a quality difference. Certain types of problem cannot be solved in the 'Nerd' way but only in the 'Normal' way, and relationships are one of those problems.

While the 'Nerd' is solving his 10 problems the 'Normal' guy is putting ten times as much effort into the one problem and he achieves a very high quality result. This is similar to playing a musical instrument. The 'normal' guy is putting in ten times as much effort while the 'nerd' switched to using a computer instead (and gets a better result). The 'Nerd' is working with facts, but the 'normal' guy is working on the nuances of the result.

So you have quick sudden answers based on simple factual reality, then move on to the next problem.

Unfortunately some classes of problem require this quality time and the slow malingering of the idiot to make sure that it all works. The female dates a footballer not a computer programmer because she is after the quality answer. My view then is that the female has to be played like a musical instrument.
