[QUOTE="Mind_Mover"]Men are probably smarter, but men are a lot more greedy, they are more violent and evil, and by judging some of the comments in this thread, alot of men only think of women as being tools, for being in the kitchen and for sex, so i gotta say to you guys with those comments, it wouldn't surprise me if you are eating take aways and watching porn all day. Females are the better side of the "human" race by a long shot.BiancaDK
are you fa reals? Everyone in this thread mentioning how women should be in the kitchen were obviously joking. Dont be so judgmental. o_0 Men are not "probably smarter", there is absolutely no neurological evidence to suggest they would be, to my knowledge. "A lot of men only think of women as being tools, for being in the kitchen and for sex." While a lot of men may do so, they are not the majority of men. A lot of people gets turned on by hurting others, but they are not the majority. "A lot" means a lot of nothing without a specific measurable point of relation. Females are not the "better side" of the human race by a long shot. There is really no such thing as a uniform "better" unless you be specific about what constitutes "good" and "bad" within XYZ frame of debate e.g i can be better at badminton, as opposed to you, whom may be bad at badminton, when viewed in relation to my game.

oh lord. I say it how i see it, not how some scientist tries to map it...those kind of technicalities are better suited for those who are only interested in technicalities, sorry.

Both are taken advantage of by very large portions of society, so I'm not sure what his point is. I wouldn't be surprised if right now he's using a computer to communicate with us while breathing air!

You should grow a real beard, like mine. :D Although my sister makes fun of it... Because I don't shave very regularly so it's not a real beard just a messy short one. Still, I stoke it every now and then, but usually not in thought. Perhaps I am underestimating its true potential. *Stroke beard in thought*

This is completely off-topic and irrelevent. I can't even remember what thread we're in...

You want me to make a point by stating some obvious facts. Most wars are fought by men, crimes like murder are mostly comitted by men.

there are sociological and physiological reasons as to why most wars are fought by men, neither of them having anything to do with intelligence nor dubious morals. regarding murder, while that may be true, it says nothing about the male intelligence (given several sociopaths having atleast a very high IQ among the intelligences), and since it is a psychiatrical condition, it, again, says nothing about dubious morals nor intelligence. The men that are committing murder without a psychiatrical condition, usually have sociological ties influencing their reasoning, being exposed to an enviroment of which they have no control over, acting out on that. It says more about the corruption of morals that can beset a microsociety, and less about the men having inherently faulty perception on morals. Women may deal with things slightly differently, but they may be equally as destructive (e.g self-harm, psychological terror etc.).

You are being technical again. Its all fancy talk but doesn't hold any substance, purely because your perception of morality is emotionless and robotic.

And plus, the reason men fought most wars is because women were not allowed to fight.

[QUOTE="Ace6301"]I would say both are equal if you were to average it out but you do have to admit there are a greater number of men who make significant discoveries in science. RJay123

But maybe the system discriminates against women who have an interest in science, causing them to veer towards other professions?

I'd say if you take both genders as a whole, then it'd be about the same. I don't believe there is a difference big enough in intelligence in either gender that is significant enough for anyone to determine. There are certainly idiots on both teams, and genius's on both as well. I believe it is true that males have made more discoveries in science 'n such, but that is mostly because males have been more of a dominate gender in the past then what is seen today. Anyways, I'm bi, and believe in equality in all things, including sex. :)

Oh, on a side note.. I'd like to say that sometimes I do start to drift away from my equality for all stance, since there aren't many women who can make me laugh.. then I read something from bianca_DK, and... I believe! :cry:

[QUOTE="Famiking"]I heard that they are equal when you average them out, but there are more dumb men than dumb women and there are more very intelligent men compared to very intelligent woman. Not from very credible sources but it makes sense to me. In a classroom, both the smartest and dumbest tend to be men. Men outnumber women in prisons by far, but men also make most scientific breakthroughs.

I read this article, it was a study done with i think like a thousand men and women who were given standardized tests. Men had a wider distribution while most women gravitated to the middle. So they average out but men are more likely to be either really dumb or really smart while women tend to be either average, slightly above or slightly below. So your more likely to find a genius man then a genius women. This article was given as a passage in one of my examines so i don't remember the reference but you can always google that.

Possibly men take more risks, and therefore either reap the rewards, or fall all the way down?

I don't really know. I always had this idea that women were more intelligent based on school, but I don't know if it's me being humble or me realizing us modern men being generally lazy and aren't really showing what we are capable of.

[QUOTE="Famiking"]I heard that they are equal when you average them out, but there are more dumb men than dumb women and there are more very intelligent men compared to very intelligent woman. Not from very credible sources but it makes sense to me. In a classroom, both the smartest and dumbest tend to be men. Men outnumber women in prisons by far, but men also make most scientific breakthroughs. Diablo-B
I read this article, it was a study done with i think like a thousand men and women who were given standardized tests. Men had a wider distribution while most women gravitated to the middle. So they average out but men are more likely to be either really dumb or really smart while women tend to be either average, slightly above or slightly below. So your more likely to find a genius man then a genius women. This article was given as a passage in one of my examines so i don't remember the reference but you can always google that.

I think I've read that article...and it does seem to make sense. Women have a more standardised level of intelligence. You don't get very many moronic women, but you also don't get very many women with the kind of intellect of Einstein or Hawking. Whereas us men are all over the shop.

Anyway, I think men and women have differing strengths and weaknesses. For example, I have read another article which says that women do better on EQ (Emotional Quotient) tests than men, while men outperform women in IQ tests. That is because the IQ test favours logical reasoning and analytical thought, which is a traditionally/biologically male trait (just think of men as prehistoric hunters for example, they were wired to be problem solvers), whereas women, in keeping with their traditional roles as carers and nurturers are more empathetic.

Those roles are gradually changing, but I don't think you can say either side is "smarter" than the other...

[QUOTE="cybrcatter"]

The mods will close threads for all of the dumbest reasons, and yet they let this one keep going? WTF??!!

RJay123

I gave equal opportunity for both sides to present their argument, as opposed to slanting the first post with an angle :D

Oh, you're just one sly cookie, aren't you? Arguments? Like all of the references to woman making sandwiches? This is a poll, and a derogatory one at that. How bout we start a thread titled: Who's dumber, a white or black man. It's congruent to yours, but it would be locked down immediately. This thread is just going to attract derogatory, juvenile statements by guys giggling like little 7 year olds. Unless the majority of posts on here come from PHDs in neuroscience, no one on here has the authority to answer you, and you will get nothing but biased, uneducated opinion, even if some of the posters on here are good natured. But you know what? I hope this thread stays unlocked, because the next time one of the mods sensors a thread because the author is disagreeing with the views and opinions of Gamespot, saying that they are 'just doing my job', I will point them to this thread. So by all means, let the 'arguments' and giggling continue.

Men and Women have different amounts of gray and white brain matter. Because of this a man and a woman cannot be compared based on intelligence.
