http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/4183166.stm Obviously they didn't test any of us guys that are on crack, otherwise the results would of been quite different. Last I heard, from my mommy, women are way more intelligent than us men.
IMHO Women are more intelligent but are also more emotional. Thus, their decision are most likely be based by heart than by their brain. Men are less intelligent but are not so emotional. So, they make more rational decision. So .. in total who's more intelligent ? tough to answer ... I am a man, btw.
Women are of course smarter. And if any guy posts guys are smarter in this thread, he will only prove how stupid he is for posting that publicly and will further prove the fact that women are smarter. Personally I think bots beat them both
Notice the study quoted that IQ scores showed no difference until those studied reached the age of 14. At that age American culture starts teaching the female (of whom I am one) to bat one's eyes and play dumb. This makes me see red! I find it totally maddening to hear women say, "I never was any good at math." But society certainly has made this acceptable. I personally see no reason why one sex should be more intelligent than the other. Now that my rant is over it is time to go to work. Shannon
Ah but wonderful bots can be programmed by both sexes thus becoming super ones, you devilish dude/dudette you. Shannon
wow, life is crazy But anyways: women and men think differently. I really cannot tell if it is men or women who are smarter, but I'd say that men are smarter in some ways and clueless in others and vice versa. So whatever test you give men and women to determine who is smarter, I don't think there really is one to simulate the situations of life which have to be dealt with and who is more able to conquer them. It's like apples and oranges.
I think men have a genetic advantage over women when it comes to IQ tests. Primarily because most IQ tests are made by men. In real life women can beat men in most areas whenever they want to. I'm with Smyrl on that "society teaches women to play stupid". Thankfully I found one who doesn't (Ph.d student in economics at the moment).
Wife looking over your shoulder then? I have to agree with the statement that society teaches girls to play dumb... probably why I've never fit in with most other girls. I drove one boyfriend just about nuts several years ago by being smarter than he was. Obviously that relationship didn't last. I don't care about who's smarter, but you at least have to be able to cope with whatever differences.
In the men's "Smart Hall of Fame" we have Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell, Ben Franklin and Joseph Palmslap, inventor of the clapper. In the women's "Smart Hall of Fame" we have Madame Curie, Florence Nightingale, Indira Ghandi and Debbie "Whiz Kid" Scholl, developer of the shoe that "looks like a pump but, feels like a sneaker." --See, how difficult it is to choose between th two?
Tee hee, a nice thread. I'd say generally women are far more emotionally intelligent then men, though rationally incompetent. Reason being of course, they're required to know what their children need, but they're still required to be rationally incompetent to fall in love with any arsehole to make those children. Ho hum.. *ducks* I'm sitting on the fence for this one. I think we're both on par, with women being more fickle if anything. But what are we basing intelligence on? Ooh it's a toughy. Pete
I think Women,s are more intelligent as compare to man there are many reason behind it 1= thoughts are very deep 2=Emotional 3=Think about all aspects and much more
