After all, every single Fortune 500 company was started by a man. Many of today's most successful and brilliant people, Gates, Dell, etc., dropped out of college, and are a product of adapting, surviving, innovating in the trenches

YOu are looking at history, sure the 500 companies were started by males, back in the days when males went to college, and when males started their own businesses.

Bill Gates was interviewed and directly asked if he would hire himself if he applied to microsoft. Gates said that although he would like to hire himself, or someone like himself, he would not, because, as a dropout, he would never make it past the HR department.

Cute, and irrelevant, particularly the Gates comment. That must be the infamous liberal trickle up theory, where employees create the company, not the entrepreneur. My previous statement applies whether discussing Fortune 500 companies or small successful startups.

I can't imagine where you circle of info resides to come up with the all men skip college and no longer create businesses theory. Do you tall girls only hang out in bowling alleys?

SandyB, as a "higher educated" woman let's hope you have a learning curve. Reread my post #521, then revisit your reply with silly, false generalities about men.

"that was back in the days when males went to college, and when males started their own businesses."

My comment was correct, and took all of 1 minute to verify. I picked a random school, U of VA.

Engineering-undergrad .... 75% Male

Engineering-Graduate ....77% Male

MBA ....76% Male

UVA 2004

If you want a higher IQ man, you have to at least know where to look! (we take the higher IQ stuff). So now that you've been proven wrong with the easily obtained facts, how you react to this will tell you alot about your relationships issues. Most men will run from women with a false sense of superiority.

Now shaddup and make me a samwich.
