From being able to spot a cheater on sight to seeing more colors than anyone on the planet, and being able to multitask in ways that men couldn’t even imagine even if they wanted to (sorry guys), these feminine powers are pretty amazing. Read on to find more ways that being a woman can actually be kind of cool and let us know what you think about those “powers.”

You Have A Super Sense Of Smell
Have a crush the rest of your senses can’t explain? It probably boils down to smell. Women are more likely than men to be driven by their noses when it comes to attraction.
