"Practice makes a man perfect". But what about the woman? She does not need to practice as she is already perfect. Why else would they only say that it is the manthat needs to practice in order to be perfect!

In that saying the word "man" refers to human being and that includes man and woman.

But anything to make a woman feel better. Clutching at straws and finding avenues where we can call ourselves superior!

That is why I am rasping 9jbas which means that I am taking advantage of this saying knowing fully well it actually means human beings!

It seems you didn't get the point. You can encounter many phrases, sentences, articles,a whole book using the word "man" to mean the whole mankind. "Man inhabits the earth" doesn't mean that only male inhabits the earth. "Man is the highest form of animal" doesn't mean that woman is not of the highest form.

hahaha here, "man" means not not only the male gender but the female as well. i hope you don't misunderstand that as both man and woman needs practise in order to be perfect :)

thatgirl..I wont agree.. the word woman has a man in it, but the word man does not have a woman in it. So man means man here ... for me.

This is a rather sexist comment. What exactly makes a women perfect? I am in no way, shape or form perfect. I don't know what else to say to this.

Whoever coined this adage should have thought of this. You are perfect in having these thoughts!

Actually whoever coined this adage must've had a virago at home so he couldn't dare to include her in that statement. Right?

Its too late to change it vandana. Actually I tend to believe it - atleast those men who have been in my lifewere so imperfect - my father,my brothers, my husband... but it is that imperfection that endears them to women.

Interesting thought. For your satisfaction..... practice may make a man perfect but there is an old saying..... "no body is perfect, then forget the practice". Okay. have a nice time.

People will only spend a lifetime practicing to be perfect an exercise in futility. Having perfect people around can make one very uncomfortable.

So ..you are suggesting I stop being perfect..? But here is my take.. If I am perfect or become perfect then I would give god a good run for his money, right? Effectively, god would feel threatened. I am anyway better off receiving goodies from god as long as he feels happy enough being known as the perfect one.

practice is really important. because the more often we practice something we perfected. I think husband and wife after a time become perfected in practice do not have to divide men and women all the time because we perfected yet we are all human beings. nice day!

hi all knowing this is a bombshell of a discussion lol he he just wait. I am a female but I know I am not perfect. I have seen some men who come close to it. but practice does not make man or woman perfect unless they are practicing whatever it is correctly . if you practiced something all wrong no matter how long you practiced it would still not be perfect.also the old common man was supposed to include all of humanity as just understood.

practicing whatever it is correctly- I would never enjoy perfect people around me. Preaching people to be perfect is an old dogma.

Maybe that is what it is..LOL. I have heard the saying here but they do leave out the "man" only part. They just say "Practice makes perfect" here"

Well practice is important for anyone, whether it be man, woman, child, vegetable, mineral, animal, or miscellaneous. There are times where we are going to struggle, where we are going to hit that wall, unless we practice. And keep practicing over and over again, until we find a way to really get these things done. As we keep practicing, we might get a better. Of course, there are just many times where things might just might be a bit out of depth. Of course, you just never know what might happen unless you practice. And just keep practicing. Until you lead to something that is just grand. Something that is absolutely wonderful. It doesn't matter who you are, what age you are, what gender you are. Practice is just really something that makes your life go around, make the world go around, just it enriches a lot of your life and leads to a great deal of success or potential for success.
