I AM wrong, I'm just a man.

Fixed.

Men DO have bigger brains, that's a fact.

Lol, everytime I hear that fat ratio thing, I think 'not fair, that's were breast come into play'.

Men score a few point higher on IQ as well, on average. (Makes me wonder if theres a higher percentage of men taking the test, and it would balance out fine if not for that). Women do better in rotating things in their mind.

P.S. Not that IQ actually measures how smart you are, it just goes over seven sub-sections related too intellegince.

Really? Lol.

You should look at that question and answer thing on the game page, see the answers that 'google' randomly came up with. It's pretty fun. Someone posted, I win, they got an add for i win games. There's a few more too.

P.S. Okay, it's not randomly coming up with answers, it's just giving whole paragraphs with one or two words from the question in it, but it's still funny.

Lol I love it how Google Ads work. You talked about IQ testing, and below that was a "Brain Training Game" ad

Only slightly. Women actually use a larger percentage of their brain for cognitave thinking.

Though, something women don't like to hear is that they actually, on average, have a higher body fat ratio than men, and that's mostly because of their abilty to give birth, and their breasts. =/

MEn are strong, they are warriors and Warlords. They have a bigger Brain then Women but women have a better brain. But they are not good in the things the men are good. They are more diplomatic and logistic. You can see it in the past. he men were going to hunt with there spears and the women were at home an educate the childs, cook and keep supllies.
Each gender has it s own stranges.

Which is only  good thing, and the way it should be for the world to work? If the world were all men, there would be way more violence in the world (Seriously, I think theres only one crime out of hundreds women commit more than men, can't remember what it is). And if the world were all women, well, quiet  few nescesitys would be ignored, and not everything can be talked through, and world progress would slow down in many areas. I love the way this world works.

Actually the size of the brain itself doesn't mean anything. It's the size of the brain in relation to the mammals whole body size. Lets take blue whale for example. It has a huge brain but is dumb as a post because in relation to its whole body mass, the brain is actually small. Humans on the other hand have big brains considering how small we are. And that's what makes us smarter.

Men, on average, have higher IQ than women. This is a fact. It's not sexist or a matter of opinion, it's a fact backed up by countless of studies. Also there are much more high end brain users (super intelligent) among men.

That cognitive thinking you talk about there Jellyfish, is actually something men are much better than women. Women on the other hand are better at "intelligence about feelings" (sorry I have no idea what the english term is).

Socrdawg, could you please answer the hardest question ever IMO? ( Next to how the world was formed, etc ) Why do women find it they have to bitch about everything?

[Celidion]

I would still argue that most of what you're talking about is a type of cultural evolution rather than a biological one. I'm not saying biology isn't a factor, I'm saying culture has a larger role than you think.

Culture has a huge affect on a lot of things but not on those things I talked about.

It's the same thing with women breasts. No matter what culture, men like big breasts, and that's not going to change anytime soon, not even if our culture would totally change. Why do men like big breasts? Men like them because it implies that the woman can feed her babies better. Again.. it's evolution. Aside from size, breast shape is also important. Saggy breasts imply being old (aka not being able to reproduce).

Like I said before, these are behavior models that have been programmed into out genes. Culture has no affect on it. Culture affects more on things like fashion, music, etc. Our genes take care of the more important stuff.

I REALLY don't think that's why men like women with big breasts, but that's just me.

And a surprised mother in law :-p

But on a more serious note, I feel it should be noted that what many of you believe to be biological differences in gender, are actually cultural differences. Gender studies is a very broad topic (I'm thinking about making it one of my majors), and without a great deal of understanding, it is difficult to grasp the full context of the factors involved in gender differences.

Basically, for most examples yall can provide of how "typical" men and women act, I can give an example of a society in which just the opposite is true. If it's a biological difference rather than a cultural difference, then I probably can't.

Edit: Just some interesting information, 20% of men don't develop their brains "properly" (like the other 80%). If I'm not mistaken, part of the frontal lobe of the brain shrinks in that 80%. For the 20% who do not go through this process, they are much more "emotional." They are better at relationships and communicating with a spouse (that doesn't mean it affects their sexual preference). The opposite is true for women. 20% have part of their frontal lobe shrink, and they have more "masculine" social qualities.
