Who are more intelligent, women or men?

MEN ! God I wish I'd had the brains not to have said that

more emotional intelligence: women
more general intelligence: men

and that's GENERALLY speaking, i do not wish to discuss individual cases.

you may get better answers if you asked "how long is a piece of string?" though xD

However I cannot understand a word Professor Susan Greenfield says!

There is no doubt in my mind that women have incredible memories for storing things that have been said or done which have annoyed or upset them whilst men generally forget such things as simply part of life.So this sort of goes against the professor.I guess the answer is we are all equal but some more so than others.

Men have bigger brains which doesn't mean they are more intelligent

Neither, as a race we are so varied that there are idiots and geniuses in both genders. Also, for example, some people may be academic geniuses but are completely dead in the water when it comes to real world intelligence skills (common sense, social interactions, rational thought, etc). Others may excel in these areas, but lack academic skills.

'Intelligence' covers too huge a scope and humans far too varied for an answer beyond neither.

I would say that intelligence as a whole is getting worse though.



Twice the length from the middle to the end

Dunno who are the most intelligent, but from experience, I do know that a fellow (male) driver is far more likely to acknowledge me when I stop to afford him precedence, when i have right of way on the road, than a woman driver will, many of whom are totally oblivious to courtesy.
Time and time again when it happens I wonder if it's pure ignorance or just lack of concentration, or maybe they are simply engrossed in intelligent thought.

who cares?

My wife has a degree, teaches 27 kids in the morning and 20 in the afternoon,--works late at home marking, reports ofsted statistics etc earns around 35K


but asks me to change a flat tyre

She is not soft then

100 % common sense from the father

As said above you get clever and stupid people in both genders, but I do find in most situations a lot of women respond more to emotions and needs where men tend to take a more logical approach on what will have the best long term outcome.
