Men Smarter Than Women?

With money a man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 dollar item she doesn't want.

In a bathroom a man has 6 items. A toothbrush, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from Holiday Inn. A women has on average 337 items in her bathroom. A man would not be able to identify most of these Items.

In arguments a woman has the last word. Anything a man says after that is the beggining of a new argument.

Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking men kick cats.

A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A husband doesn't worry about the future until he gets a wife.

A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the garbage, answer the phone, and read a book. A man will get dressed up for weddings and funerals.

A succsessful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

i generally offer to buy as well, something i enjoy. but i can do math in my head in no time flat.

hate to shop, have a list when i do. no deviation, run thru the store, pay and leave. hate shoppping. thank god for online shopping, so i don't have to go into a store. have been to the mall once in the last two years.
sorry, no stock of things in the bathroom.

i have been told i'll argue with a fence post, but i don't necessarily have to have the last word.

dressing up is wearing my good tennis shoes.

Ok so being smart is the ability to manipulate figures in one's head. That would make me smart. Therefore something must be terribly wrong with this definition.

I can hear a tune in my head, listen to the "same" tune played differently and tell you exactly which note is "wrong", high or low. To my brother playing a 12 string guitar... A conversation: me my bro

no thats wrong, it does not as good if you would just change...
Where is it wrong? Play it again. Stop, thats a little to high.

Can I actually play the instrument or read the music like my brother? Hell no. Have I tried? yes, I cant do it. I am bad. Can I hum the tune and hit the right note so he does not have to play a song again allowing him can change it easily? No. I cannot reproduce the sound. But I can hear in my own head, I am humming the wrong note. He has got to get it right or it wont work.

I swear if you do this just a bit higher it will sound perfect. Play what a bit higher? Play this part again (humming attempted). Hell I am having a hard time even tell what your are trying to hum. Brother plays it again with my suggestion. Thats it you got it That does sound a lot better. Stay here what??? so this can take forever?

I still humbly ask... What is smart? One catches on to information quickly and can manipulate it quickly... I think this is what our society deems smart. So most of the people on this board are probably very smart.

BTW, I have noticed the thing same that DTS has with spatial relations in males and females. I can give multiple examples.

i don't know that one is smarter than the other. just different. oh boy, the PC police will be out in force now.

supposedly women aren't into math or science. i enjoy math, always have. 'science' as a term is very broad, some things i like, not others. very hard when people like to generalize and label folks. it's funny tho...i get told you're like a man in many things. what's that supposed to mean? plenty of women out there like me--it's not that we're like men, we're just perfect examples of how not all women are the same!

There are exceptions to everything. You are really confusing this if you think I am labeling anyone. These are not hard and fast rules.

And since we are on this topic, what is successful? I find it interesting that CEOs are considered successful and used in the first post. Successful is making money? getting things done with large numbers of people in an efficient manner? I am so screwed up. I got to have something more tangible. Successful... you set goals and achieve them? take advantage of bad situations and turn them into good situations? WHAT?

Pgn,

I would say success is graduating college. How about holding a steady job?
I used the business example b/c the perceived glass ceiling is more or less seen in business over other jobs. If you have better examples then give them. In this thread you do little more than ask questions and not even attempt to answer them. Actually all you did was ask questions. Come to the table with something please.

This is all I got Randall. And that women, on the whole, work harder.
