That most women vote Democrat is enough for me. ;-) I think this study is probably true but we are talking matters of degree where the smartest man will probably almost always outperform the smartest women but there will still be a whole range of cases where men and women compete effectively with one another and where the situation is reversed.

That aside it has been known for a some time that men have larger brains and tend to be able to tackle math and science better than women where as women excel at linguistic pursuits though men tend to have a much larger vocabulary. Just recently another study came out showing that height tended to equate with higher intelligence. People need to not be upset about this and keep things in perspective in that they realize that when something is statistically significant it means that there is a detectable edge not that simple analysis such as picking all the tall guys will guarantee a sample of the most intelligent in the room.

Reminds me of what happened tonight.

I was out of beer, so on the way to the liquor store, I called my wife and asked her if she needed some chardonnay. She said yes, as a matter of fact, and that the Shop Rite had Kendall Jackson on sale. So, I checked with the manager, and he said that it was not on sale anymore. I told him that my wife said it WAS, and he said that my wife was wrong. I then said that HE must be mistaken, since my wife was NEVER wrong.

He laughed and said that she must know his wife.

Men are smarter than women, according to a controversial new study...

I figured that out a long time ago when I first read that men die before their wives.

Hint: we die first because we want to.

If you are a man, take GOOD notes. But, man or woman, if you get married, you will face this someday.

If you are female, I suggest not taking hormones..most women do to stop hot flashes...but they are not so bad.. you sweat a bit..wakw up in the night..so what?

If you are a man..just rememebr your wife is sleep deprived..she thinks she's OK..but she's not
