Thought that would get you all going ! According to a recent survey done in America, Men in tests have definitely been found to be more intelligent than women. But how do you rate intelligence ?

women are far more intelligent than men... if we were intelligent we'd realise when they're playing mind games to get money or gifts :P

ok, now on a more serious note, I dont believe men or women are any less intelligent than eachother... infact I dont believe its possible to measure intelligence, there are so many factors and everyones oppinion is different...

would you say an amazing musical composer is more or less intelligent than an accomplished nuclear physicist?

there's more to intelligence than maths and science, or logical thinking... intelligence is just a word that was created for people to create more superiority in the world

How about... the ability to hold a mobile phone conversation and drive round a corner at the same time?

If that dozy cow in the yellow VW beetle tries that little stunt again, I'll jump in front of her.

That'll give her the shock of her life :hihi:

If women were that smart, they would simply buy the first thing they see when clothes shopping - instead of spending six hours trying ever other store to go back to the first one.

Very true PMSL :)

I've noted an almost figure eight pattern from the missus when walking around New Look in Meadowhall..

She will start on one item at the beginning of the store, go around the shop in a figure 8 fashion and then end up back at the original item again.. anyone else noticed this pattern?

Men more intelligent than woman? Absolutely!

If women were more intelligent, why would they:

1. Have children? Knowing ahead of time that they would need to be the primary caregiver and in many cases put their life on hold for the next 18 or so years.
2. Get married? Life long commitment to servitude. (i.e., cleaning house, cooking meals and doing laundry for their spouse.)
3. Wear high heals? They HAVE to hurt when standing for hours at a time.
4. Paint their faces? They spend a lot of time, money and effort trying to look their best.
5. Not know how to use the toilet without mucking it up? Women's public toilets are always filthy!

:hihi:

Women must be far more intelligent than men.
For most of our history , it's men who have governed us and passed the various laws and .......yet......it's women who have ended up with the best deal !
The poor old geezer slogs away at all the dirty jobs and all the D.I.Y stuff and retires for a well-earned rest at the age of 65 , only to hand his dinner plate in , years earlier than his ever-loving spouse. His missus , who has retired at 60 , collects the insurance and has the Life of Riley for the next 20 years .
On top of this , she is cosseted and pampered all her life by her care-worn hubby , who is only there to fix the shelves and wield the shovel.
There may be some who don't agree with this.

Hmmmm! Most males are definitely less intelligent than most females, but there are exceptions. Proved it with my first comment.

Well, all of them I think - usually the male functions are procreation and protection. The older females usually decide what the day to day activities will be, where to forage or hunt and generally organise the herd, flock or pride.

Ring any bells? :hihi:

what, you think that's a sign of intelligence?

Of course there is no real answer to the question, as some said in the 2nd or 3rd post, defining intelligence is a requisite to answering this, and something we are incapable of doing.

It's a null argument - how intelligent you are has nothing to do with your sex at all...

There are plenty of very intelligent men and women out there.... just as there are plenty of (very very) dumb ones!

In my mind one of the most stupid things someone can do is make generalisations, whether it's based on their sex, age, preferances and tastes or anything else. It shows a basic lack of fundamental understanding of the most obvious fact of all...

... we're all different.


EDIT: But if you're talking about people I've met as an average... I'd say out of them the women were smarter.

Hels
29-08-2005, 03:52
Nope, have to disagree.

If women were 'smarter' we wouldn't be the one's giving birth for a start!

We wouldn't have all those 'monthly' problems and even more importantly we wouldn't be paying VAT on our supplies...

Men have the best of everything - sex (fun without the pain of childbirth), children (again without the pain of childbirth), better quality clothing for half the price (when did women get 'non-iron' shirts), you lot can pee staning up (ah I wish), you get some luved up woman to cook and clean for you (ha, hubby lost out on this one)! and whenever you choose to do a 'female' job you are the one's that get the top job - cooks (women) chefs (men) even the best paid hairdressers are all bloomin male!

Oh, you don't have to spend hours in front of the mirror every morning doing your hair and make-up, men look good in a suit - end of story, women have to find a top to match the skirt, shoes to match their handbag etc etc.

Men are bossy - they are assertive, women are bossy - they are bossy!

Men sleep around - they are 'just being men', women sleep around - they are tarts etc

Men come home after a hard days work and put their feet up, women come home after a hard days work and start on another hard days work, cleaning, cooking, washing etc.

Men, day off - play golf, women, day off - do the cleaning, the washing, the ironing etc etc

Men, play tennis - win a megga cash prize (Wimbledon), women, play tennis - win a meagre cash prize.

I could go on, and on, and on.

Oh yes, men have it all (don't they?) :hihi:

WHY MEN CANT WIN!!

If you work too hard, there is never any time for her.
If you don't work enough, you're a good-for-nothing bum.
If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay, it's exploitation.
If you have a boring repetitive job with low pay, you should get off your ass and find something better.
If you get a promotion ahead of her, it's favoritism.
If she gets a job ahead of you, it's equal opportunity.
If you mention how nice she looks, it's sexual harassment.
If you keep quiet, it's male indifference.
If you cry, you're a wimp.
If you don't, you're insensitive.
If you make a decision without consulting her, you're a chauvinist pig,
If she makes a decision without consulting you, she's a liberated woman.
If you ask her to do something she doesn't enjoy, that's domination.
If she asks you, it's a favor.
If you try to keep yourself in shape, you're vain.
If you don't, you're a slob.
If you buy her flowers, you're after something.
If you don't, you're not thoughtful.
If you're proud of your achievements, you're an egotist.
If you're not, you're not ambitious.
If she has a headache, she's tired.
If you have a headache, you don't love her anymore, and you must be sleeping around.

what exactly has biology (in that you give birth etc...) got to do with intelligence?

It's well known that there are certain areas where men are (on average) 'better' and other areas where women come out tops.
For example, spatial reasoning, men, linguistics, women.

This is just down to inate differences in the brain, partly the aforementioned greater cross hemisphere activity in the womens brain. Sometimes this is good, other times it's not.

And I'd disagree about generalisations being of no use, they are of much use when you are talking about groups rather than individuals.

Men's Rules!! (that women should know)

Women, learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
Birthdays, Valentines, and Anniversaries are not considered by us to be opportunities to see if we can find the perfect present . . . . again!
Sometimes we are not thinking about you. Live with it.
Saturdays - Sundays or any day with a (y) in it.= sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
Don't cut your hair. Ever. Long hair is always more attractive than short hair. One of the big reasons guys fear getting married is that married women always cut their hair, and by then you're stuck with her.
Ask for what you want. Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
We don't remember dates. . . .Period!!
Most guys own three pairs of shoes - tops. What makes you think we'd be any good at choosing which pair, out of thirty, would look good with your dress?
Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.
If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. We've been tricked before!!
If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
Let us ogle. We are going to look anyway; it's genetic.
You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
Christopher Columbus did not need directions, and neither do we.
The relationship is never going to be like it was the first two months we were going out. Get over it. And quit whining to your girlfriends.
ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
We are not mind readers and we never will be. Our lack of mind-reading ability is not proof of how little we care about you.
If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer you don't want to hear.
Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as navel lint, the shotgun formation, or monster trucks.
Foreign films are best left to foreigners. (Unless it's Bruce Lee or some war flick where it doesn't really matter what they're saying anyway.)
FOOTBALL+BEER is as exciting for us as handbags are for you.
Thank you for reading this; Yes, I know,
I have to sleep on the SETTEE tonight,
but did you know, it's like camping.

I am a male - we all know where the brains of a man are.... yes - same place as a womans - in the head.

Response - so it would not make any difference to you if I dressed up? And you never noticed that the lipstick I am wearing is a nth degree lighter shade of red than the one I wore four months ago when we did not go to that restaurant you were supposed to be driving us to but got lost, and I was not the one reading the map either before you say it. No good arguing with me - you cannot even remember the restaurant thing can you? No - you cannot - because you do not care. You don't care about me or the fact that Josie on Sheffield forum is going through pms and it does not matter that you think my bum looks like a peach even though you do not like peaches .... and on

Phone calls:

men make phone calls to arrange to meet to talk,

women call for a chat then will meet the person 3 hrs later for another chat then will call the same person again for another chat later. since many of you spend your evenings watching soaps you all seem to have a lot to chat about. Answer: gossips

It isn't just one scenario - females have this abiltiy to weave about like no-ones business, and most of us men do not place importance on the same sorts of things as women do. Does it really matter whether you wear black shoes with denims or blue shoes or whatever colour you like - they are to keep your feet comfy and safe.

And if you feel comfortable in that skirt ro dress then wear it - but o' no - scary thing to say that.

Are we going off topic here?

I have a favorite one liner to sum up the "female".......

But am i brave enough to post it?;)

Or stupid enough to post it?:rolleyes:
could i live will the consequences?

Maybe its too crude and id be slaughted for it?

If i post it will the female forum members ever leave me alone or will they hunt me down for the rest of my life?

Would i be banned?

What should i do?:suspect:

I can live with the consequences after all i am a mouse, i mean man, whats the worst they could do to me? or should i not ask that question?



*I don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die*

Now that is an intelligent observation and question and of course the answer has to be a resounding no.

Where's the line about a sense of humour?

Dragon

Women don't have a sense of humour, every male over the age of 10 knows that :rolleyes:

it's only accurate if you're looking from a man's viewpoint ... I won't post the one about men from the woman's view ... you prolly wouldn't find it funny .. :hihi: and of course it's not on topic.

edit to say - madowl that observation of yours is just yuk - pure and simple yuk ...

sorry madowl, I just dont find a comment like that about menstruation acceptable at all ... I just have to question your taste in posting it.

As for intelligence ... I don't think there's much difference between the sexes ... some people are clever and some aren't ...

ps ... better a houseful of women than a houseful of men! At least there'll be loo paper :D

Rubydazzler - I think madowl is saying women are more intelligent - though I may be wrong.

Your attitude towards what was obviously intended as a bit of light hearted humour does not do you justice. Should we men be affronted that women believe we think with the thing in our pants?

Must be that time of month. Ooooops!!!

Dragon ... how can you say whether it does me justice or not? You don't know me or anything about me. You wouldn't make the remark about pms if you did :P !

I could equally say, why do the sort of men that make off-colour or sexist remarks always accuse us of having no sense of humour when we take exception to it? Re remarks about always having your brains in your underpants - YES you should be affronted ...

IMO men and woman are totally even in the brilliant minds and totally stupid stakes ... there only appears to be more dumb men on fora because there are still more men using t'internet :D (JK - in case you don't recognise humour :P )

I am not annoyed or affronted by the remarks about men. There is already a list about how bad we are at remembering things or seeing as important what you females deem to be so.

Insensitive? Perhaps we can be.

Luckily for me I know that most women do have a sense of humour and will probably view most of this thread in that light.

How are we supposed to be measuring intelligence anyhow? Someone got a tape measure?

Nooooooooooooooo don't let 'him' have the last word !!

Women are way more intelligent than men, and more lovely, beautiful, sweet, pretty, better at ironing etc ...

:P

Forgot to add, women are also better at suspecting ulterior motives than men are, something else they're better at !!

Me? After something? No :) ... Just being honest !!!

(hehehe ;))

(actually, if you want my honest response, intelligence comes in all kinds of colours and flavours, it can't be measured, and as don once said, precious little do we think with out hearts and not our minds).

NO NO Jamie ... even though you're just as cute and sweet as you can be, we're not going to offer to do your ironing ... (blows kisses to Jamie)

actually, I don't do the ironing thing and I dont cook either - well not unless it's microwavable :cool:

Women also have more emotional intelligence (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?postid=573557#post573557) and more caring and know just what to say.

Wish I did.
