Dispel the myth that women are smarter than men both socially and otherwise...

[JUAN the Great]

My best friend's dad teaches at Georgetown University and he deals with male and female relationships and social interactions. He stated and wholeheartedly stresses that women are smarter than men in both social situations and in life. I disagreed because if that were the case then how do you explain the single mother situation; if women were so much adept at reading people and men in social settings then they would have seen the the dude was no good in the first place. There would be no need for Oprah and Tyra telling women how to spot and cheater; they could use there "powers". I think that it all boils down to how we are conditioned. Yes, in our society women are conditioned to be emotionally and socially intelligent but that does not mean that they are smater than men. We have to be careful what MYTHS we are spreading.

ANY COMMENTS?

Just because he says women are better at social situations and smarter doesnt mean all women have an IQ of 150 and are social gods. Stupid people and socially inept people exist at any age and gender.

Also, in terms of IQ men average higher than women.

Eitherway what effect does this have on you? you could have an IQ of 130 in which case you are better than 98% of the population regardless of gender.

When has this ever been accepted as truth?

We all know women have tiny squirrell brains. . . it's fact y'know.

 

[mrRuckus]

Women have far more social problems with other women than men ever have with other men.

Who is dumber?

 

[Ganondorf]

What???

since when was this??

 

[oakraiderz2]

Women are usually considered more socially intelligent than me because of the way theyre nurtured. Im sure we've all read articles about how women can pick up on body language so well and all that sh*t.

 

[SmoothTalker]

Ah the problem with academia. Just because some professor says something, does not mean he's right, even if he is a professor.

I think both genders are roughly equal though we have our strong points in different areas. I strongly disagree with the idea that women are smarter overall, and will not deal with women that honestly believe this - especially since they tend to be the really stupid ones.

 

[DJDamage]

I think your "professor" is nuts.

Not nuts but rather is part of the feminist brainwashing system that tries hard to come up with B.S Studies in order to promote and convince society of females supremacy over males.

You hear it all the time these days:

" Studies have shown that more women are graduating then males"

" Studies have shown that women have a better sense of smell then males"

"studies have shown that women use both sides of the brain and males only one"

Its not only in "supposed" scientific studies but also tv that is pushing that sh1t on us. Look at every comedy tv show these days, its all about the woman being in charge and being the intelligent one and the man is some AFC dumb fvck who is lucky to have found her.

Men and women have equal mental capacity... BUT women are emotionally biased and men are logically biased..

Men are often physically stronger than women so the world is mostly designed according the logical biased style of the male mind making it seem like men are "smarter" as they navigate life in society.

The fact that men are wired to seek and chase women for mating causes their motivations to mostly be driven by getting a mate which then gives much of the males power back to women who then often control things indirectly through their mate, who allows this so he can retain access to her..

Similarly if a male can take control of a womans emotions her has control of her being which can lead to her being very weak...

All the the studies you stated are being paraphrased. They can all be explain in a logically manner. More women attend college, hence, more women graduate. None if this is feminest brainwashing. Hell, i could write up an experiment or replicate one of these studies and come up with the same results.

 

[SmoothTalker]

Its not that the studies are bs, they generally provide accurate information.

Its the biased interpretation that's the problem. For example what we tend to hear is that women are outperforming men at all levels of education terms on graduate number, graduation rates, and GPA.

It can also be proven that women are more likely to take easier courses - ie how many girls do you know studying engineering?

But what you won't hear in the mainstream media but that should be obvious to anyone with a brain, is that MAYBE the reason women statistically have better grades and are more likely to graduate is that they are in easier programs that require less effort and intelligence to do well in.

Instead what we hear is "women are more school smart and dedicated to education, etc".

Lol, let me drop this once and for all. I'm actually studying to become a sociologist in this area, (Its how I found the community actually.) But let me tell you the truths.

For starters, their is no significant difference in the actual IQ of men or women. they are statistically around the same with both men and women scoring differently on tests. The thing is, the results that are published tend to be the ones that are pop culture and suffer from type 1 errors. (Basically, mistakes in pooling data.) The only real difference is in Standard deviation in which men have a much higher rate. In other words, men are smarter, and dumber in the average population then women are. We have more variance.

Now this goes for wages as well, men make more, but less as well. (don't tell feminazis this, unless you want to die.) And many areas.

Also, in regards to women being more socially adept, this is true... for the cultural values. Our society is argueably much more petty then it was, and we think of individuals rather then groups. (think minorities.) we socially focus on fairness rather then rightness, and in this culture women are much more able then men.

Also, on a whole women are much more adept at body language reading then men. but men are not incompitent either. It's just a cultural thing in which men are told at a young age that it's innapropreate to talk about feelings and emotions, so we quickly get rusty. Children, both males and females share the same level of social skills and empathy, it just changes around 10-12 years of age that women become better...

In our society anyways.

Women have been trained for a long time to notice and analyze the tiniest details. They have a finely developed social sense. They also have been trained for a long time to manipulate men. So I would say that most women are better than both than most men. However, I believe that the true player (a natural, most PUA's don't count) is usually better than most women in both perception and manipulation.

Also, I don't believe women are more emotional. Not for a second. Women don't like logic because logic makes them responsible. Perpetuating the myth that they are at the mercy of their powerful emotions is the way they avoid responsibility and put that on the shoulders of men.

 

[SinJester]

Miguel has got it covered.

-Neither men or women are smarter on average.
-Men have a bigger variation. We have more geniuses and dummies.
-Men are more likely to choose harder subjects.

Just thought I would repeat those for emphasis. In my own experiance guys are just as smart but women are far more likely to actually do work in school. We are too busy, well, being guys. Why they silently sit there and do the work.

I think of it in the old fasion (is it?) notion that guys are more logical and women are emotional, as far as averages are concerned. From an evolutionary standpoint we were the ones hunting and the women were gathering. They are better at looking at the details (and colours/smells) and we are better at getting the 'gist' of things, I think that one has been proven. Probably while they were gathering they were socialising too. I don't find it offensive that women are smarter socially, I agree with it, even if it's only true from the way the two sexes are raised. Honestly from my own limited experiance I can EASILY see that women are far better at noticing small details than us. I'll be watching the football and a woman will be pointing out their eyebrows to me...

No they aren't. It's just that men don't care about such things. Even if we do, from a young age, we're socially brainwashed into restraining ourselves not to comment on that, and eventually we still see but don't observe anymore.

I used to not give a toss but I've trained myself to observe small details and I'm far better than the average chick at that.

I also disagree that women are smarter socially. They're just more easily accepted socially, because they aren't as threatening.
