I don't know, uhm, one thing that gives us a step up is the fact that we can multi-task. I remember my teacher back in high school, she said that guys can't do that.

I think men and women are equally smart in their own way. The difference between men and women is that women mature faster than men do. So, we often hear about men being immature even if they are older than the women.

Maybe. Smart brain cells are generated by the x-chromosome. Since females have double x-chromosomes while men only have one, women, therefore are smarter.

Sometimes I wonder. Men always think they are smarter but I prefer to say we both are smarter equally.

We only have a slight advantage over men i.e we're more well behaveed and attentive in our daily chores.

I don't know, i never thought of it that way. I know that women are more emotional and man are more technical, but there are always examples that prove that i am wrong. there is no black or white here. I do not think that women are smarter then men, it all depends on the human being, his experiences, and how he sees things and views life and it's situations.

There's this saying - 'Its better to be quiet and appear stupid than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt' I believe it's true and maybe that's why people think women are smarter.

Right now yes, but in last last last age before, Men were smarter than women. You can see in all history of all the world. And I think the percentage of that is not far. 51%-49% for women.

Come on that's just a story. It is not prove that the existance of Adam and Eve. From what i see althought Adam ate the fruit I dun see that men are far intelligent that women. They are almost the same... If there is a difference, it would be very mile... may be 1% of difference.

Even before women has outsmart men. Because of that Eve was able to coax Adam into eating the forbidden fruit.

LOL Just because it is true :D It is the Humanity's experience for more thousands years. And my experience too. The smartest women let the men believe that the men make the decisions, and give the ideas. THere is a gipsy woman in my country who was asked once about their marriage- why does it work so well after so many years. And she said: He was the HEAD in their relatioship, but SHE was the NECK.

Hi, Women are smarter then men, thats why knowns say "BEHIND EVERY MAN'S SUCCESS THERE IS A WOMAN". I my own opinion they can outsmart men in domestic chores. Already in the field of education fairsex score more percentage then masculines. In the career the are excelling, and very shortly they will put men behind. Arent they smarter enough in real life?

Thank you for having high regard for women. In that sense I think that is the reason why people think women are smarter than men.

I am not sure about this Zandi. I think it really depends upon the individuals. I don't think either gender is smarter than the other...but individuals certainly are. Why do people think that there is a gender gap in terms of intelligence...I guess this like almost anything else is presented and portrayed in the media. cheers,

Speaking for myself, I can say that as a woman, I'm smarter than men! I'm not sure if all women can say that about themselves, because it seems that most let themselves get used by some guy and then get dumped. A woman couldn't be too smart if she let that happen to herself. Better to be the heart breaker! But, mostly, I think women have the greatest capacity for intelligence, because we are the givers of life. We have to learn fast, and think on our feet. If we used that talent right, we would rule the world with little effort.

The most recent investigation into this question indicates that there is very little difference between the sexes but that on average men are slightly more intelligent but not to any significant degree. all the best urban

Who ARE these people who think that women are smarter than men? I know that most men think that they're smarter than all women, the most that they would be willing to concede is that there COULD be a hypothetical woman out there, like maybe a Nobel Prize winner or something, who MIGHT be smarter then them. Women of course know the truth ;)

None taken :) I personally believe thta there are smart and dumb INDIVIDUALS and that it doesn't depend on gender. However there are a lot of men who believe that they are smarter.

The word 'smart' does not literally applies to academically brainy. It has a broad meaning if you look up in the oxford dictionary. Don't get offended by this discussion as I don't mean to insult anybody.

I do not think either side is smarter just have different ways of looking at or thinking about a situation or problem.

As a male species human , I would definitely have a point against you . Of course some women are quite smart than men in their respective fields . As for me , I feel that frailty is a womanly characteristic to note . In general , women just cannot be smarter than men .

I watch footballers playing football on the pitch for both sexes. I see that the men are more space-conscious and more aware. But in academics women have better memory. This is different parts of the brain, what can u say?

Attentive at classes is true. But quick to react is not. You know who is Petr Cech? Cassilas? Buffon? Van Der Sar, Jose Reina, Dudek, Dida, Dino Zoff, David James? They have superb reflexes and extremely quick reactions to situations, even faster than ordinary people. And they are males.

I think women are book smarter then men, but men tend to be street smarter then women. I would say there are a few that this is reversed, but not many. Someone above me posted about women can multi-task better then men. Guess you need to come and meet my hubby and watch him at work. This man can have so many tasks going at once and complete them all. He is very street smart, but so dumb when it comes to book smarts....lol ;)

In that catogary I agree with you. Ask a man to look for one particular item in the cupboard he will take ages to spot the item asked. Yes, I agree with you that men are street smart even if they are drunk they still can find their way home.
