    This subject makes a lot of sense because boys and men are pressured by society to perform and be a man, if you will. If we are not confident and self assured, then most men and women won't respect us. Women want men to be more of a man and take charge so we have to be smarter or at least make her believe that us guys are smarter. Women don't respect a man if he is not confident and clever.

    When is someone intelligent of either gender going to comment on this artical?

    Well, for one thing, women are the ones who invented bulletproof armors, laser printers, windshield wipers and playing cards... I believe, anyone, regardless of gender can do anything if given a chance... But in our previous generation, women are taken for granted, treated as nothing more than baby makers or home cleaners...
    In the same way, for centuries, men are expected too much... Enough said... ^_^

    manolito....... if you think that women are only for home, even taking care of home and children you men are not capable of doing it, and you seem suferring from grandeur disease, because you dont respect other gender, i suggest you go for self_help specialist to clear your fault thoughts.

    Men are presently obsolete... intellectually, physically and morally...we have enough sperm in the banks to reproduce. We make our own money, carry and raise the children, fix our own cars, empty the trash...hmmm need I go on? Oh, and lets not forget about the non contaminated by some virus or disease "electronic device" that serves a woman far better then any man... If I need to cuddle...I'll snuggle up to my down pillow. Case and Point!

      Sad... probably single and broken hearted. Lonely, all by yourself. Just look at how bitter you have become. (If you do have a significant other, sucks for them to be in a relationship with you)

    To ishiboy: Firstly I believe anyone regardless of their gender can do anything if they believe in themselves and given the chance... Women were the ones who created laser printers, bulletproof armors, playing cards and windshield wipers... Because the previous generation we're living in are surpressing women to do anything, women were taken for granted as baby makers or house cleaners... Enough said, I don't look down on men, I know what men are capable of, I just wished that men just respect us as equal beings...

      Well said, Tiffany. Now I think that all you need to do is live up to what you believe. My point was merely that most women lose steam half way. Look at Ayn Rand - I really admire the woman. And just to note, almost all the women in my family have excelled in whichever field they have undertaken, despite having kids, families et al. I agree with you and hope at least you won't be making excuses like Jules did.

    Actually until I read this article I never even considered men were smarter. The smarter men must live somewhere else.

  • Posted By: manolito @ 01/29/2008 2:10:33 AM

    WOMEN BELONG IN THE KITCHEN AND THEY WERE MADE TO CLEAN RESTROOMS
    LIKE IT OR NOT... IS A MAN'S WORLD...AND WILL ALWAYS BE....PERIOD

  • Posted By: liddoducky @ 01/29/2008 2:10:27 AM

    Gosh, women who say they can live by themselves can do so... who cares about lonely women. Who needs crabby women(not all women, just women who think they are better). Unless you can find a way to gender cleanse you can isolate yourself in a tight, dark, cold as your bitter self cave, no one will care about you anyway.

    Everyone knows that male teenagers are the smartest.

  • Posted By: Fluff_all_the_fish @ 01/28/2008 11:16:22 PM

    My parents definitly think that i'm smarter than my brother, and as far as I.Q.s go, well he has average, 100, and he is 16, i have and I.Q. over 130 and im 13 so, but this is still correct, my brother thinks he is way smarter than me, except i definitly KNOW that i'm smarter, you may say that i have to high of an ego, but i was raised to have my own oppinions, and i think that females ARE smarter. I mean the only reason that i think females think they are not as smart as males is because not so long ago this whole world was ruled by men, and women had the job of staying home and taking care of all that stuff. but the world is changing and it is equalling out, we arent quite there yet, but we're pretty close.

      ok never mind about this, what good is gloating? sorry people, read my other comment though!! its alot better and truly what i think

      • Posted By: YouAreNotSmart @ 01/29/2008 2:06:17 AM

        wow, 13 and already your a smartass. guess wat my IQ is...

        kids usually have bad reasoning skills.

  • Posted By: mathrules2006 @ 01/28/2008 11:17:15 PM

    men are NOT smarter than women, Men just have more free time than women, so they have more time available to ponder about how to do things and figure out how to do things. They have nothing else to do so they have a lot of idle time that they can use to think about things..
    Women have more Common Sense and along with that we are more perceptive and intuitive and mentally evolved than men. Women are also more articulate , ,., which comes under the intelligence, category. Women have to juggle a full time job, raising kids , cooking cleaning running errands , driving kids around to activities, organizing house , bills, checkbook and the list goes on and on, so we don't have time to sit around idly and read an owner's manual and take the time to learn something new because we are always busy doing something , While guys only have their measly 8 hour job to worry about and when they finish their 8 hour shift , their job is DONE. They have another 16 hours per day of free time to have fun .and no other responsibilities and just learn about fixing cars if they want to and , unlike women, Men always ask 4 or 5 guys to help them out when they need to work on a project like repairing their car or some carpentry work around the house , or moving a piece of furniture around , they always call at least one other guy for help,
    but you do not see women doing that. When a women needs to move a piece of furniture around , she just moves it all by herself. YOu don't see women calling another woman to help her move furniture.

      AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      • Posted By: JulesBHannes @ 01/29/2008 1:46:18 AM

        EXACTLY!! I'd like to see a man raise children alone, keep up the house and expenses, AND work- all at the same time! I dare them!

        • Posted By: Ishiboy @ 01/29/2008 2:01:54 AM

          I dare you to succeed and yet have children... and do all those things you claim women are capable of.

      • Posted By: YouAreNotSmart @ 01/29/2008 2:00:43 AM

        dont encourage idiocy.

        You dont need spare time to think moron. Im thinking at all times, no matter what im doing. about every thing, and i meen everything. If you were smart you would too. anyone can multitask, i can draw a circle with my left hand and a square with my right. not even the best multtaskers can handle that kind of left vs right brain fight.

  • Posted By: chinese panda @ 01/29/2008 2:00:10 AM

    Yes! I think women are smarter than men.

  • Posted By: chinese panda @ 01/29/2008 1:57:49 AM

    I come from china.I think men are very tired.

  • Posted By: hps1 @ 01/28/2008 11:18:24 PM

    I think men are slobs with a giant ego who think they're better than everyone, now I'm not saying all men are, like albert einstein or john f. kennedy, but most men aren't smarter than women, it is very rare you see a smart man with low ego. and besides, if gather only a few men and give them a test, that doesn't count for every man in the world, women can be smarter than men, if you ask me, i think the question has alot of gender discrimination in it. all people are equals, we are all made from god.

    • Posted By: YouAreNotSmart @ 01/29/2008 1:55:34 AM

      uhh no.

      i wouldnt say im smarter than anyone. unless they are as stupid as you.

      how dare u say most men are dumber than women, what if i said every women ive met is stupider than me? Do i sound as rediculous as you yet?

    Correction: "...directly means (to me) that you, in fact, illogical."

    Sorry, that was a typo. I meant to say: ..."directly means to me that you, in fact, are choosing to be illogical."

  • Posted By: burnthedevice @ 01/29/2008 1:47:28 AM

    "you have ne credibility here buddy, believing in god directly means you choose to be illogical."

    Commenting and forming an opinion about someone you do not know, based on their opinion about something you have probably never researched, directly means (to me) that it is you, in fact, who is "illogical."

  • Posted By: alkaff2008 @ 01/28/2008 11:21:06 PM

    AS I KNOW THAT MEN BRAINS ARE BIGGER THEN FEMALES AND THAT RETURN IN SO MANY REASONS ON ABOUT THAT>>>>mEN BRAIN CAN CONTROLL THINGS IN A STRAIGHT AND NEVER CHANGE IN ITS CONDITION FASTER LIKE FEMALE>>THE FEMALES BRAIN IS SMALLER THEN MEN AND CAN GOES IN CHANGING FASTER THEN MEN'S BRAINS AND BY OTHER MEAN WE MAY CALL THEM CHANGEABLE BRAINS,THIS CHANGING ON THEIR BRAINS HELPS FEMALES TO TALK WITH NEW BORN BABY AND AT THE SAME TIME CAN TALK TO THE ADULT ONE.THE MALE'S ONE THEY CANT TALK WITH NEW BORNI BABY LIKE FEMALES,BY THAT ON FEMALES ARE GOOD AND NICE AND KINDLY IN BABY SITTER BY CARRY CHILDREN IN PERFACT WAY WHICH ON MEN THEY CAN'T.BECAUSE OF MUCH FEMALES TO BE BUSYEST IN THEIR ACTIVITIES ON LIFE OF CARRYING KIDS AND CLEANING HOUSE AND COOKING AND MORE,THEY CANT GO ON IN THINKING IN ANYTHING EXCEPT ON THOSE WHICH I MENTION THEM.MEN CAN THINK MUCH AND GOING TO WHAT HE WAS ON THINKING IT,AND BY THAT WAY HE MAY PLAN SO MANY THING AND GOING TO BE SUCCIDING IN WHAT HE WAS ON THINKING ABOUT AND DISCOVER ALOT FOR AND IN SURVERVING FOR LIFE FOR HIM AND FOR HIS FAMILY LIFE.MEN ARE MORE SMARTER AS I THINK SO.

      you are obviously a man, because there is not one complete, understandable thought in your whole comment. God saw fit for women to nurture, because we are better equipped to teach them all they need to know. all you can teach a child is how to play video games and be tough. women multi task because our brain is advanced enough to do more than one thing at a time. Men can't do it like women can.Most realmen will admit that.

      • Posted By: YouAreNotSmart @ 01/29/2008 1:47:15 AM

        you are no better than him...

        i sure as hell hope you dont raise children with that attitude.

        this guy is obviously an idiot and u proved yourself to be one too. GRATZ!

        videogames and toughness?? screw you lady, kids love me. I babysit and i have been told by many kids that i am a great teacher. ( i helped out at elementary schools before)

        your views are scewed along with the guy your bashing.

      • Posted By: garcsera82 @ 01/28/2008 11:53:14 PM

        I agree that his arguments are not at all complete or proven. not only this but they are horribly worded. However, your argument is no better. There is no superior gender. and i would feel as a ""rational"" woman, you would understand that, Think about this for either way you perceive this, you're argument for women as a superior race is struck down.
