Men really are more stupid than women, research shows

It's enough to start a new battle of the sexes, but when it comes to needless and untimely deaths, men win hands down.

A 20 year study of the Darwin Awards, an annual review of the most foolish way people have died, found almost 90 per cent were 'won' by males.

...

Of 332 independently verified nominations 14 were ruled out of the analysis because they were shared by male and females - usually overly adventurous couples in compromising positions.

So. Women are less likely to say...
“Hold muh beer and watch this...”

That may be so but a woman is more likely to try a lezbo encounter than a man is to try tasting a d***!

In our house, my husband doesn’t trust anyone and I trust very few. We’re both introverts so that discernment comes from a lifetime of observation.

More proof that the risk averse female is not suitable for soldiering.

The overall effect of what a 50% female fighting force will have after a generation or two, or three, on our war machine, will be negative, as the focus shifts to quality of daily life issues, a low risk work place, and less disruption of family life for the “employees”.

I’m not referring to “the heart”, ie, emotion.
I’m referring to the different thought/fact linkages that women make,

whereas men isolate and compartmentalize,
rejecting relationships between facts and inputs
that don’t fit into those compartments.

Because they want to.

Yeah ... it can get that way. Pick a random XX Century recipient and take a good look at his picture. What always strikes me is their downright ordinariness. I've met, worked with, been neighbor to, am related to, men who look just like them.

Heck, I don't look much different.

Stupid??? Perish the thought! They're what the rest of us aspire to.

Here is the corollary:

Why is divorce so expensive?

Because it's worth it.

This explains it all, IMHO. The Nothing Box

Everyone knows that men and women’s brains are wired differently but The Nothing Box is perhaps the best explanation of the difference.

If you look at the IQ distribution for men and women you will see that yes that are a lot more men than women in the stupid range BUT there are a lot more really smart men that women.

That’s why 90+% of all discoveries, inventions, etc. were made by men.

Sometimes logic will give in to emotion and affirmative action when it doesn’t want to sleep on the couch. So now we have emotional black-robed judges and military generals and food police . . .

A high school classmate of mine lost a leg in a motorcycle accident while trying to impress a girl. He wasn’t someone I would classify as stupid though.

Shouldn't that title be "Men really are more stupider than women, research shows"

Men are hard wired to take on the wooly mammoth, an incredibly stupid thing to do, one would think. But, if he wins, the tribe eats through the winter, he is a hero and becomes leader of the clan and women want to have his babies. Not so stupid, after all.

If a women does something stupid and dies, she is dead and someone else has to take care of her children, or they are thrown to the wolves if they are not the children of the mammoth killer. Women are hard wired to raise the next generation of mammoth killers and baby makers.

This is the answer to all of life’s problems, the rest is just deciding which bourbon to drink.
