... When I ask what seem to me to be perfectly natural questions out loud often even people who know me look at me like I've sprouted an extra eyeball in the middle of my forehead.
I did plenty of skirt chasing and at the same time wondered what made women tick.. The answers I eventually figured out to some of my questions greatly enhanced my success in chasing skirts.

There are far too few of folks like you. But then, you already knew that I wager.
I think that asking questions is life and I wish more of the youngsters I am around did far more of it. But, they do ask enormous amounts of questions.
I have taken side trips into certain subjects over the years and investigated at length and deeply. I think many more Americans than you realise do this, but life gets in the way.
I also notice that there is a real difference in what women and men are interested in, even if we are not supposed to say that in this modern era. You can see it in early childhood. You can also see the investigators and the ones that want to socialise.
My answer is the same as before. It is our roles in society (man, woman, family) that prevent most of us from continuing to look below the surface all the time. Everyone? No. Most people? Yes, most definitely.
