Thank you, I couldn't rep you again so I came back to say I will make note of that. BTW, I don't know if the OP is a real postman or just someone who calls himself that because he posts on messages boards but my sister, a female, is a real person who used deliver mail. She is very well versed in geography and her nickname is "Sam," short for Samantha
No I'm not a real postman, it's because I post lol.
Funny I had a friend who was a trans-woman who called herself Samantha. She actually kept it a secret from many people (didn't tell me until I'd known her a few months). Seriously, almost no one suspected, she was pretty damn convincing. It's like the SaMANtha in her middle name was almost some sort of weird clue. I doubt it was done intentionally though.
I recently read that only 2% of Wikepedia edits are done by women. This is all related. Women and men brains are different and are interested in different things. I'm not saying either is superior...just different.

Really, that few? I find that highly surprisingly since a ton of wiki articles are about more 'women's interest' type things too.
Women and girls don't tend to be into this kind of stuff like men are. When you talk about geography or history to most women they kind of just glaze over.

I've noticed older women are more into it , at least those who like to travel are into that sort of thing, so it's a conditioned thing. Tons of historians seem to be women, as well.
I mean a lot of women love to travel, yet it seems the general US/ city vs city boards that discuss geography.etc are dominated by males. While I'd expect it to be more men, it seems the ratio is something like 1 to 10. Whereas go to the relationship board it's more like 50/50. Why aren't more women as into discussing geography/cities.etc in depth as men are? Is there something in the 'typical female brain' that finds it uninteresting, or is it because it's seen as a 'nerdy male interest'? I'd love to meet some gals who are into this kinda stuff lol.
Interesting, your post. An interesting coincidence because I've spent the morning looking for an answer to a geography question online and everything I find is pretty much about culture, not science. No criticism of that either. I agree that people who travel need to know about the places to which they travel. But, if anyone here knows anything about the physical geography of this globe, I'd surely like to hear from them. I've given up.
Back to your question, it is a good one. Maybe some of it is that we are looking at an area's history or art and architecture or specific places we want to see at those cities - buildings, certain happenings. There are a lot of different reasons for visiting, say London or Pairs or even Timbuktu. Sometimes we go strictly for the "people culture". Sometimes we even forget to check the weather there before we pack (geography).
Most of the posts in this forum are about big cities and I don't like big cities.
