I work in an office and there is two women, and the rest are us guys. IT office. One women took it upon her self to decorate the office which I thought was really sweet and she asked me (since I'm a little taller) to put the 'squirrel' on the top.

I like her. She is good, talks about her husband (so I respect that lot ) is new, learns fast. She also put a senior dude kind of in his place (he's a guy that most of us guys would not talk like that but...ok quick story.... he (senior guys was like 'why don't you do this...?" kinda like correcting her (my interpretation) and she's like "well, I have a customer right here..." but it's how she said it...she sounds like a innocent child... oh man, I loved it. It's super rare for this old guy to get corrected and I'm glad he did and it was a WOMEN too. hahahaha.

Why are women so creative? that's my question?

what possesses you to make things pretty. I guess I'm not that way at all. I'm lazy.

Some are, some are not. Just think though - Leonardo Da Vinci was a man, but you cannot say he wasn't creative

Maybe creativeness is just a way of life that many are capable of. Men (stereotypically at least) tend to be far more practical rather than creative so they do create things but often are not so concerned with making their creations look pretty, just functional.

My view on things is that, if something looks clean and pretty it will work well, rather than stick something together to just work and finding it a mess to maintain as it is visually a strain on the mind.

Referencing your decorations, cheering up the place raises morale and make life more interesting. Perhaps that's why it appeals, at least to me.

Anyone can be creative... I know plenty of women who aren't, though.

I'm creative artistically at times, but not always.... but decorating? I'm very simple when it comes to that (similar to stereotypical males who barely put anything up when living alone), and it's not something I'd say I'm good with.

Form and function are gender issues?

I like to think that form follows function, and that some functional items are really quite beautiful.

How about:

I don't think creativity is based on what sex you are. I know several men who play video games where you have to use your creativity to make your world in the game beautiful. Some are straight, some are gay. Point being...they are able to make theirs even prettier than some of us gals. LOL! Creativity comes from being a right brain thinker. Left brain thinkers are more analytical. I'm sure that was a special design by God when he made us. We need both for things to be in balance.

Because when God showered the gifts of creativity, women were the first ones to get up at dawn (reminds me of my mother and nana as early risers) and caught the gifts. Men were all flat out from their night drinking session

Kidding

I don't know, maybe, women are just that. We're creative and fabulous.

Thank you for seeing the creativity of women. I'm sure, if you are given a chance to show your own creativity or someone assists/guides you, your very own originality will come out. But, if I were you, I'd get out of the lazy blanket first.

I think I am pretty creative when it comes to the things I like to do.

Today, I worked on some data analytics, I came up with 10 different scenarios with three set of interchangeable data, I am still experimenting, I have to maximize the outcomes but how much can I do it, this will be interesting.

Or more easily recognised:

The way these pylon and bridges work out, I think, is that they follow an almost crystaline form with their balancing of stresses and so do end up looking well balanced and beautiful, at least to many. Although I don't have any pictures, but you may be aware of the type of construction - Our loft roof beam layout looks very messy as compared to more traditional layouts. It looked so messy that I looked things up and found that it was a recognised technique. In this the normal set of roof trusses appear to be braced by additional planks which are fixed diagonally across them at points. It looks very crude and was worrying until I came across the detail that showed it to be a valid method. It is a modern technique, I think, and it may be that it is cheaper but it doesn't look pretty and makes navigation of the loft space far more hazerdous. A quick look found this online although the original information I found did explain it better. It is similar to the diagonal beams shown across the trusses in the construction photo: Roof Construction

Interesting website.

I was moaning about how thin the beams in my loft were to a patient who is a retired builder. My older house the beams were much thicker.

Not so, he said. The new style has vastly superior triangulation, so is much stronger, and perfectly safe for him to walk along, let alone me.
