Years ago an old boss of mine pointed out a medical fact.

Women have 2 parts of the brain for conversing, men have 1.

When you see 4 women talking, they can all be talking about different things, and each keep 2 convos going TRUE !!!!

That story about the oldest married couple, they'd been married for 80 years, they asked the guy what was the secret to a successful marriage, he said just say 'yes dear' alot. :D Thats what I do when I'm watching TV ;)

Men and women are different :rolleyes:
Some men have noticed.
Quick, publish a paper.

Define intelligence please.

The stronger sex is the weaker sex because of the weakness of the stronger sex for the weaker sex ;) :p

Yeah, riiigghhttt! And let me guess the sex of the person who wrote the article???

Only a bloke would consider drinking beer, watching tv, farting and belching to be 'tasks of high complexity'! :D

You left out our ability to make the odd comment to the wife to make them assume we are actually listening to them :p

Sex differences in general knowledge, semantic memory and reasoning ability

Authors: Lynn R(ichard); Irwing P(aul)

Source: British Journal of Psychology, Volume 93, Number 4, November 2002, pp. 545-556(12)

Publisher: British Psychological Society

Abstract:

This paper has the three objectives of attempting to replicate a previous study in which it was found that males have substantially greater general knowledge in most fields or domains than females, and of determining how far sex differences in general knowledge are a function of differences in either Gf (fluid intelligence), or experience. The results confirmed the previous study to the effect that males have higher means in a general knowledge factor of approximately .50 d (half a standard deviation). It was found further that there was no significant sex difference in Gf measured by Baddeley's Grammatical Reasoning Test, and only a low correlation between general knowledge and Gf. Analysis of covariance showed that differential experience as indicated by 'A'-level points and socio-economic status had only a marginal impact on the observed sex difference. The results are interpreted as showing that sex differences in general knowledge cannot be explained as a function of differences in either Gf or experience. It is proposed further that general knowledge should be regarded as a new second-order factor and designated as semantic memory.


Refutation anyone?

If so, why do men complain that they'll 'never understand women', why can't they undo a womans bra strap and why do they have so much difficulty in finding the G spot? :D

I can undo a womans bra with one hand in about 1 tenth of a second. :D


I usually get battered over the head for doing it though :p

Well it is if you do them all at the same time. For all the hen pecked me out there here’s a tip. Master the art of sleeping with your eyes open. Oh and for any man that hasn't read "men are from mars and women from Venus" here’s another tip. Woman subconsciously use a points system for all the good things you do as well as what they do. So for example you pay the $500 a month mortgage (1 point), Work 18hours a day (1 point), buy a bunch of flowers (1 point), buy a diamond ring (1 point).

Same goes for a woman, put clothes in washing machine (1 point), put dishes in dishwasher (1 point). You get my drift. So the upshot of all this is:- save the £500 and buy a bunch of flowers instead! She’ll love you just as much for it and it wont take long to buy that Ferrari.

What about banging them senseless, so they go to heaven and back. How many points?

Not that I ever have of course, I'm just working on the spreadhseet. :D Seems to be too many -1's on here at the moment. :o
