Battle of the sexes

Why do men and women always trying to out battle each other on just about anything. Work, sports, games, love.... you name it and they have tried to take claim for it already on whose the better kind. Men love women and women love men, but when it comes to the discussion on whose the better one and the right one, that's where all the arguments start. And it's really funny how they say "I love you" to each other yet kept insisting that they are more superior than the other when it comes to decision making and other stuff.lol Of course I'm saying this in general, since every person really is different from the other and my personal belief is that we are all equal. But what are the common mistakes of men and women or mannerism perhaps that get them branded of being the weaker one? Don't worry I'll pretend to be gay so that I won't take sides.lol

Was Romeo trying to be better than Juliet? Was Juliet trying to be better than Romeo? "...that get them branded of being the weaker one?" - Wow!That question is assuming that somewhere in the way someone won the battle ,so you had a winner and a weeker...a stronger and a weaker! I can not point those mistakes or mannerism 'cause I don´t see it that way. I don´t think it has to be like that. What I do know is what mistakes or manerism can "get them branded of being a close-to-end couple" and is common to both sexes: communication! or lack of her! :)

Hi calliban, well like what I said on my post, my personal stand on this matter is that everyone is equal.. as far as I know.hehe Anyway this is just simply a fun way to find out which one has a better reputation on things and also the one who has more negative remarks. Like what I told somecowgirl, that it's really just in generally speaking. Cause if we start talking about this base from person to person, we wont get to conclude anything since we are totally different from one another. Another example is that women are known being great in keeping the house in order, therefore women are better than men when it comes to taking care of the house. I just wanted to see who wins when it comes to whose the better one in general... and totally not someone specific. Like knowing whose popular on this category or that category.. Anyway, I'm starting to feel dizzy saying that over and over again.lol So make sure you don't include jun jun the jungleman here okay.lol.. Or else we'll be breaking the rules on not citing anyone specific. hahahaha

..once upon a time, JUN JUN was..lol.lol.lol.I coudn´t resist.:P What confused me in your post was this two sentences: "my personal stand on this matter is that everyone is equal..." and "since we are totally different from one another." lol. But now I think I am understanding your point of view: we are all different as human being even though we are the same in some things. Is that it? I think you will like to read this: "What are the differences between men and women?" - read this here: http://www.meaningfullife.com/social/womenANDmen/Women_AND_Men/Women_AND_Men_-_Different_but_EqualQUESTION.php

Uhm.. no.lol But that's okay, I was saying that in my real opinion we are all equal, there's no such thing as the better gender. And if we are all different meaning we can't really base our judgment just because he's a male or she's a female. Like for example if a woman applied on a construction site, do you think she's gonna get hired? To be honest I think no. Simple because she will be judged already thinking she's a woman and she can't do the lifting or hard labor like men usually can. But there are women who really could do stuff like that and are stronger than some men. But that's the point. Whether we accept the fact or not. And no matter how hard we try to be equal, intentionally or unintentionally we tend to think at some things men are the better one and on some things women are the better one. I was trying to know what are those things.. To weigh whether a man is known to be better on a lot of things or is it a woman.. =)

hello angry-eve, Personally, i don't know but i guess they're some men and women prefer to compete with each other mentally and physically. it's really not bad because most men are very much proud and bragging on themselves that they started insulting women as weak and then when the women gets to show what they're capable of these men would hide their tail and run. but i know women are better since puberty so i don't compete with them I'd rather love them but i doubt they will love me..have a great day.........

Hi letranknight, hahaha I would love to say that you are right about women being better on some things but I won't. As promised I will pretend to be gay. So I guess I'll just say... wow that is very informative and helpful, thanks for sharing. =) But then again, it wouldn't hurt if I kinda break my own rules once in a while.lol I totally agree with that, especially on the part where you said something about how men love to tease and insult women on being the weaker one and then women will try to prove them wrong... As funny as it may seem, but I think this is really what is usually happening. Anyway, once again you have proven yourself to be a true gentleman, for saying that women are better.. two thumbs up for that. (it's really annoying that I still can't use any emoticons =(

I believe it is in the nature of most human beings. Man vs Woman has been going on since the start of time I believe. Well, not sire about the start of time because I wasn't there. Depending on what religion you are some could say that it all started with Adam and Eve.

Yah right, why do you all love to put the blame on me???lol Again, just kidding!!! But seriously, I agree the competition between men and women has started long before the first bathroom was even invented.lol The only thing that has changed is that women get a little respect now compared before where we kinda just serve the purpose of being men's loyal companion. No matter how liberated and open minded people are now, still a few discrimination stays the same... But overall, its kinda fun that men and women keep competing. Its somewhat amusing at times.lol

Hmm, I am not sure that I've ever come into contact in real life with the "battle of the sexes" of course my fiance and I are more "teasing" competitive... BUT we don't say "I'm better at this... because I am female or male...) lol It's funny to see these exchanges on t.v. though I can't think of one show in particular at the moment that would be a good example of "the battle of the sexes"... I believe that's also a board game, the battle of the sexes that is.

Hahaha come to think of it it's really kinda weird if you'll hear your fiance say, "Hi I'm a man and I'm smarter". lol But like I said I'm only saying things like that in general. Like what is usually associated with men in their behavior and likewise with women. For example men are very known to cheating with their partners, known liars and etc... And no matter how hard they argue about that and clean their reputation, they are still and often times referred to being not trustworthy. Not all men are, but still that's where they are most popular for. So women earn points on this area being mostly good on being more committed on a relationship. And as for the women, they usually are known for being naggers, who just can't stop winning and complaining about things. Again not all women is like that but still a big percentage is.lol I just kinda like to see which one has a more negative reputation.hehe

That is the real fun of life. Being together and at the same time outbeating each other. Just relax and enjoy this fun.

Hi meapas, yah that keeps the thrill factor I guess, just not too much though.lol But I was really wondering which one is most known of being the better one, in general and not by person to person thing. We can't deny the fact that no matter how open minded we are already there are still a few categories that we feel is done best by either men or women. And that's exactly what I want to know, at this age and time, what are things we still don't treat equal. Like for example you saw a lady lumberjack. Wouldn't you be a bit surprised. Just by being surprised sometimes mean that we simply thought it was best done by men.... Anyway, feel free to add anything that you noticed to have not been treated very fairly yet by many. Keep mylotting =)
