Quote from: joerockerlike smart women more than just plain beautiful/sexy. See, the sexy ones, you know their game. They want the attention, and lavish gifts. They're always looking for the better deal. Too much work for me. Too much worrying. Sorry, not worth the trouble to me. I've dated VERY beautiful women in my days. I've seen how THEY act, and how other men act around them. People scheme, we all do. I don't need to be worrying every time they're alone. Just as they would have to worry if I were some celebrity

Geez, Joe... you just keep on doing the same crap over and over. So here you are generalizing again...  apparently all good looking women are gold-diggers who think the world should cater to them. and the women who are smart must be the one that agree with YOU right?
Quote from: joerockerI've dated VERY beautiful women in my days
Perhaps you have, maybe you just stalked a few, but I doubt you've actually listened to one, or engaged in a meaningful conversation with one. Your habit of assuming anyone with different ideas from yours is a lesser person probably gets in the way of that

I think this whole topic is kinda pointless anyway... I'd be willing to bet we could trade off 'stupid people' stories til the end of time and come up with an exact 50% male/female ratio... why?  cause there are a lot of stupid people in the world

i've got nothing to add to the question of the thread really, because i think this is a rediculous thread (holy hell, me calling a thread rediculous; yeah i know), but who's smarter?  seriously people.  if you think there's an answer to this question, well, there's no hope.  a basic percentage of people are just complete morons across the board, sex has nothing to do with it.

as for joe's posts, once again joe has decided that he can hit "reply" and then talk about whatever the hell he wants, thread title be-damned.  he's got an agenda, he's got things to say, and by golly, he's gonna say them where ever he pleases.  this was not a thread about average physical attributes joe, it was a thread about intelligence.  on average, can a man apply himself physically more aptly than a female?  sure.  however, as stated, this has no bearing upon this thread, or at least it didn't, until you brought it up.  also, as for letting the best do it, and not wanting women cops, sometimes, women are the best.  

firstly, just because on average men are stronger does not mean in every town across the states there is not a woman stronger than the other men in the town that want to be cops.  so if you want the best, well, you're gonna have a woman sometimes.  kick the streotypes.

secondly, if women are good at dealing with testosterone (you said it, not me), and they have better social skills than a man, wouldn't you want a woman cop to show up at domestic disputes, writting a speeding ticket to an angry person, talking to people about public saftey, and any other social aspect of a police officer's job?  now i realize you probably like the show COPS a whole lot, but that isn't what police do most of their days.  women can do just as well (and based upon your stereotypes of the intellectual differences between man and women, a better job) at the plethora of activities that cops must engage in during their normal daily routine.

so, well, i disagree with you (suprise).

Ah,  The same old group responds.  We need some fresh blood in here.

Yes, generalizing.  That is what I said from the beginning.  Generally men think, act, are, one way and women another.  How can you possibly choose the dumber without background information...  Oh right, you do that all the time.  Post from the heart without anything to back it up.  You people act like talking about peoples general attributes is some mortal sin.  You act like generalizations don't exist.  That they aren't valid.  They are.  How do you think they come about?  Stereotypes are there for a reason...  Usually they're pretty accurate.

Zara,

Ah, a refreshing reprise from the usual post.  You ARE right, in some situations a female "negotiator" would be the better choice.  BUT, what happens when the talking doesn't work and the husband goes wild.  She can't stop him.  And if you NEED another officer there, a man, for backup, then isn't she less valuable than the man?  And if it's always a man/woman team and the woman can't handle the physical part then isn't she again less valuable?  Unless she does ALL the talking to compensate?  I can't think of many women who could take me down if I was enraged.

You see, I believe in getting the best to do a job and not letting just anyone who wants to, do it.  Ibelieve in equal opportunity.  If you're not as good as the next guy you lose.  I don't believe in artificially stacking the deck to give someone an edge.  I believe in meeting standards and not different standards for different people.  I believe in equal pay for EQUAL work.  If there is some part of a job you can't do, then your pay will reflect it.  I'm very much for fair treatment.  But that also includes what's best for EVERYONE as a whole, society.

I brought up cops, firemen, military, because I have some experience there.  I've seen standards lowered JUST to get women in the door.  Instead of carrying 150lbs now it's 70lbs.  If I'm out cold in a basement, I want that guy who carried at least 150lbs bringing me up.  I've seen women come in right off the street and take the "cushy" jobs that in the past men had gained through years and years of seniority.  Why?  Because they couldn't handle the tough physical jobs that were the starter jobs.  So, tell me, why should these men have to "suffer" doing the heavy stuff so a woman can "join the team"?  As an equal?  I've seen the problems of a single female in a group of men.  Where there was a tight knit comradeship, it was destroyed as they jockeyed for her favor.

Again, a society that works WITH the natural way things work is better than a society that twists and pulls to "fit" people in where they don't belong.  Woman need to do what they were MADE to do and men should do what they were MADE to do.

You're all against me here because again, you think EVERYONE has the RIGHT to do ANYTHING they want as long as they don't physically hurt anyone.  But the welfare of your society doesn't seem to be important.  The welfare of those forced to "cover" for the slackers that were "forced" into positions because of equal opportunity laws.  I've seen offices "forced" to hire deaf people and 50% of the job was over the phone.  Guess what, the deaf got the same pay!  What is this all about?  It's about quotas.

You know it's one thing to blatently discriminate against a race or sex for no reason.  But it's another thing altogether to "force" somebody to hire someone who is not as good as another because of their race or sex.  Too many laws are kneejerk reactions to problems that weren't really problems on a grand scale.  Someone made a lot of noise and the law is changed for the benefit of a very few and the detriment of many.

Nobody MAKES you read my posts do they?

Yes, I have opinions...  Obviously so do you...

Had to reply.  

Oh, you are SO naive.  Women have one mission in life.  Find a man with good genes who can/will support her and her child.  Anything else she gets is gravy.  That's it.

Men want to have sex, often.  That is how women keep us interested.  Human women are the only animal receptive all the time.  We do our jobs for two reasons.  The ego thing.  We identify ourselves through what we do.  I'm a mechanic, I'm a banker, etc.  A good job is a status thing.  Determines your social ranking.  Second, we work to get things to attract/keep a woman.  House, car, boat, bike, etc.  That's it.

The ones who are beautiful AND smart marry CEOs and live lavish lives.  They then divorce and take half.  Then they travel the world doing whatever they want.  Like I said, they're smart.  Beauty gets them in the door and brains plans the future.

Remember, generalizations.  There are always exceptions.  Few, but they are there.

Joe, it was interesting that you said you couldn't think of MANY women who could take you down if you were enraged...so you must conclude that in a physical confrontation some women are definitely up to the task. Not all policeMEN are really that physical. With enough training even the smallest of people can take a larger more violent individual...IF they can keep their wits about them. In fact, most police forces, fire departments and the like, do have physical requirements that must be met whether male or female. Once again, the thread was not about whether a girl has bigger gonads than a boy (although I've met a few who I was sure they must! :lol: ). Instead it was; are women dumber. On that note I have to say that I've met just as many dumbass men as women. Lovin' the little GS (made for Boys AND Girls) and this forum.

Joe, you must be one sad, lonely guy..   sounds like you need to look to yourself the next time you need something to belittle...

By the way, How on earth do you have the right to call ME naive?  I'd be willing to bet I've dated more women, lived with more women, and  probably married more women than you have. I might just know a little more about the women I've been around than you do. Especially since I have this crazy habit of actually talking to the women I encounter, instead of judging them arbitrarily.

Sure some relationships don't work out, and also many end with one OR the other person financially better off. But to take that and then say "all women are in it just for a kid and support" shows a severly biased point of view. (Likely one that lost his ass in a divorce and now hates the whole world..  just a "generalization" there)

Let's face it, your mad at the world and apparently you can't get into a good relationship, and you blame that on your income level. How sad. Perhaps the reason you can't get into a good relationship is because you are mad at the world....  hmmm..

Well, you've lived with a whole bunch of women and you've been married a bunch of times huh?  Maybe you should take MY advice, obviously YOU have no clue as to what to do in a relationship.  You are in fact naive!  You've just proven it with your lack of success dealing with women.  Do you take money advice from someone who's filed for bankruptcy a few times?  Why would someone take relationship advice from someone with "several" marriages?  I've been married once.  And yes, I'm happy.  

What I've said are the facts, you can deny it all you want.  That my friend is the underlying reason the sexes (yes in general) do what they do.  Live in denial to eternity for all I care.  Men want sex, women want babies and support to raise them.  That (besides air, water, and food) drives (sometimes very subtley) everything we do.  Women have very strong desires to have a baby.  In fact, their body changes afterward helping with their longevity.  Biology says grandmothers are good and helps them stay around longer.  Women without children die at an earlier age than those who have had children.

Let me tell you something.  You may remember that I said in another post that I'm retired but I have a "fun" part time job that I do for something to do?  Well I work with women, all women, 15-20 depending on the day.  And the customers, 99.9% are women, a hundred a day.  I've got literally hundreds of female acquaintances.  Thay all love me and we have REAL conversations.  Not the crap that goes on when they're on their guard.  Not what YOU talk about with them.  Nothing that they say in mixed company.  I hear what the "girls talk about", like I'm not there (like a man's not there).  You see, they feel safe with me and the environment, they tell me many things they can't discuss with their spouse.  We talk about husbands, kids, parents, joys, disappointments, problems at home, career, divorces, almost everything.  And no, I'm not some alternative lifestyle man hairstylist.  I'm the "grunt" who does the heavy lifting.  You know, the jobs that the women can't.

You assume that because I say men are better in sports and better for certain jobs that I hate women.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  I love women.  Just because I know their motivation doesn't make them anything less.  Hell, look at OUR motivation.  What could be lower?  Tell me, what's the first thing you think about when you see a woman for the first time?  Be honest.  Sex... would you or wouldn't you want to do it with her.  That is WHAT we as men are.  We can't help it.  Now, is THAT something to be so proud of?  If you're a man, yes.  At least a woman is more noble, she wants to make sure any future kid is secure too.  She's not out to just "hit and run".  Why do men get into relationships?  Because the sex is good, the woman is beautiful, and they don't want anyone else touching her.  If men could REALLY have their way we'd have a harem.  As we walked down the street we'd be adding to it.  Men want to have sex with ALL the women.  The pretty ones anyway.

What I don't like is changing the rules, the standards, forcing their way into something they're not supposed to be doing.  Hmmm, sounds a lot like ghey marriage huh?

c,

Yes, I've already said that.  If they can do ALL the job with the original standards then yes, take the job with my blessings.

CasiUSA

Well Joe, I'll let the same old argument transpire again. You did run away from the ghey thread, because you did nothing but repeat the same "points" over and over. Meanwhile, other people posted valid rational points, and you just conveniently disappeared- loser.
I'm sure the same thing will happen here- you sit at home and furiously look at the computer while a bunch of "young folk" prove you to be wrong using crazy things called "Rationalizing". And then you will sit and sulk and wonder about how you could have been around for so long, yet know so little. OOps, it's already started... run away as usual.

I'm awesome. Time to go make out with a mirror again- dammit I love myself.

Hey one thing in what Rocker said made me laugh ... beautiful women tis and that ( didn't have time to read it ... ) but Eevr tired saying "you're not my type " to one of them ... They've never heard it before ... and they just fly off the handle ... I have has one ask me ... well then what is your time ... can you define it ... and I go .. well Hard to define, but it is so precise it is just big enough to fit 1 person through ... Still balnk as I walked away ... Later she realised I was married ... No ring ... so they get confused ... I dont have rings in my culture ...

casi,

Again, blah, blah, blah.  

Show me I'm wrong, don't just say it.  Show me a study.  Show me some raw data.  Show me anything to support your view.  I on the other hand provide data, links to research papers, EVIDENCE that backs up my argument.  Not here of course because it's a given that men and women are different.  

There is quite a difference between quitting in defeat and simply throwing up your hands and saying "that's all I can do, this person will never see the light".  Talking to you reminds me of my son at 15.  He knew it all too.  You couldn't tell him anything either.  Now, at 22, he's finally really beginning to learn something.  Again, you're approaching the point where I ignore your posts because they're filled with worthless rantings.

You simply hate what I believe and do whatever it takes to squelch my speech.  Nazi!  See, I can use that word too.

You have no points.  You have only name calling.

SS, you know what I'm talking about.  Your reply was quite cryptic but I got the idea.

Here's a little joke to sum it up:

What is the difference between men and women?
- A woman wants one man to satisfy her every need.
- A man wants every woman to satisfy his one need.

Here is a quick link summerizing a study about differences in men and womens sexuality: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2003/06/030613075252.htm

The sexes each have their agenda.  They may not be aware of their motivation but it is there nontheless.  It affects our actions.

Women just don't belong in certain jobs just as men don't belong in others.  We each have specialties that better suit us for one occupation or another.  We shouldn't "force" people into occupations that don't suit them.  Men are better at "physical" sports.  Women are better nurturers.  Men and women think differently and our brain is physically different just as our bodies are.

What is so wrong with those statements?  You jump on me simply because I say the sexes are not equal, that they're different.  THEY ARE.  

I guess you won't be happy until we're living in the ultimate socialist society.  A society where anything goes.  Anyone can do anything they want.  Anyone can do any job they want.  Everyone is treated exactly the same.  Everyone gets everything provided for them free.

I've got one word for you then... MOVE.  Move to a scandinavian country.  It's ALMOST that way there right now.  I'll stick with here, where you're treated as you deserve, you get what you earn, and you get to keep most of it.  Every man for himself is what I like.  I like the competition.  May the best man win.

QuoteI always clearly state that there is a bell curve and that most men are in the middle of THEIR bell curve as most women are in the middle of theirs. For any given strength or weakness you'll find that mens and womens bell curves DON'T line up. They don't overlap.

I can't believe that last sentence. Do you have proof of that? If the bell curves didn't overlap, wouldn't that mean that all men are bigger, stronger, have better spatial skills, are worse nurturers, and have worse verbal ability than all women? That's obviously not true. I bet if you overlapped the bell curves for most traits, (not including strength, size, and ability to give birth) there would be more overlapping area than non-overlapping area. Meaning there are more similarities in abilities between men and women than there are differences.

QuoteWomen just don't belong in certain jobs just as men don't belong in others. We each have specialties that better suit us for one occupation or another. We shouldn't "force" people into occupations that don't suit them.

QuoteYou see, I believe in getting the best to do a job and not letting just anyone who wants to, do it. Ibelieve in equal opportunity. If you're not as good as the next guy you lose.

If there is some part of a job you can't do, then your pay will reflect it.

QuoteIt's the members of a group who want to buck the trend, who don't want to do what is "normal" who create the problems. Women are SUPPOSED to have the babies, stay home, and raise them. Men are supposed to go to work and earn a living. THAT is how it's supposed to work.

Huh? So which is it? Equal pay for equal work, or giving a someone preferential treatment because of their gender? All men aren't better than all women at all the jobs. But if all the women stayed home, and all the men worked, guess who has all the jobs.

.....this morning JOEROCKER had pancakes with a side of bacon.....

seriously though.....you're not going to influence him or change his opinion....he is the biggest jackass I've seen lately....he lives in a delusional world, where he is right, no matter how wrong he is.....

reference:  women cannot compete with men in sports.....basically men are just better.....how do we know this??....because women aren't allowed to compete with men in sports....

point of fact.....there are many women in professional sports that could rival their male counterparts.....there are women in the WNBA that could earn a living in the NBA.....there are women on the US Women's Olympic hockey team that could play in the NHL.....

so.....don't listen to JOE.....he's just a jackass out to play headgames.....he probably got cut of from his regular supply of internet porn, and had nothing better to do.....


SRINATH:

to answer your question:  WE MEN, ARE THE DUMBER ONES - any idiot can follow.......shamefully JOE is a member of our race, and retains the title of World's Biggest Dumbass.....

.....if he ever relinquishes the crown.....maybe, roles will change....but I don't see that happening soon......especially knowing there's a JOE jr. out there somewhere....

Casi, I still wanna know how that Trumpet is doing. And Joe, I don't think anyone is going to begrudge you that men can be more physically pumped due to the fact that we have testosterone in our bodies. Yes, it is a fact of life. But, if one reads your posts it starts to become clear that you are obsessed with the need to feel that women are inferior to men. It doesn't need to be stated explicitly for the message to get through. I just wonder why some people (you included) have this need to see the world as black and white with no color in between. Why can these people not understand and allow for the fact that everyone is different in their own way? Why can't these people just allow for the differences and "live and let live" instead of trying to shoe-horn every single individual into some box with a label that places them into an easily defined category? Why? What is it with these "different" people that is causing you hurt or taking something from you or forcing you to do something that would be hurtful to others? You say others such as Casi and Zara etc have no proof to back up their statements. But it is you, who feel that these others cause hurt, that should have the burden of proof place upon your shoulders that they do cause hurt. I love riding the GS when I can and I love this forum.

Hehe, you're so predictable Joe. I knew you would write that, but the fact of the matter is, I didn't write that to give advise, I wrote it to rebut your asinine comments regarding women only wanting sperm and support.
I was married twice, not several times. Both ended amicably and still are to this day, people just grow apart sometimes.  It has nothing to do with "failing". Plus, I haven't sat upon my high horse and told everyone else to do things my way, now have I?

If I were to give advise, it would be to any woman near you and it would be "RUN AWAY...  FAR, FAR, AWAY"


Quote from: the idiotic joerockerMen want sex, women want babies and support to raise them. That (besides air, water, and food) drives (sometimes very subtley) everything we do. Women have very strong desires to have a baby. ]

Here's a suprise for you Joe... women want sex too, just not with you! and if you really work around all those women, and you don't know that, you aren't talking to them, you are hiding in a closet stalking them.

Which brings up a point... if you work around all these women, and they DO talk so freely around you, that must mean they find you unacceptable as a potential partner.
Why else would they conspire to seduce men for their sperm and security in front of you?  :dunno:

Anyway, I could continue to twist all of your other generalizations and stereotypes right back at you, but you've already proven you can't handle them being thrown back at you..

Quote from: For example.... when you were called 'ignorant trailer trash' due to your location, even though all your comments basically fall within the stereotype for that region, you Why are you so kind? I believe you said this about me: "ignorant rural trailer trash". You see, once again you prove YOUR ignorance. I grew up in your area. I hung out in Washington Square Park, The Bottom Line, CBGBs, all over The Village. But it was before your time (early 70s) and before it was overrun by gays. I am QUITE worldly and have lived in many city and rural areas. I've lived in NJ, CA, AK, HI, IL, FL, TX, AL, and overseas. It is because of my experiences that I know first hand that what you're officially told about things isn't usually the entire truth. It's because of all the crap in the cities and over populated states that I chose to retire in AL. I'd take a place where everyone knows their neighbors, waves, says "hey", don't need to lock the doors, keep the engine running when going into the store, just plain freindly, safe, and pleasant, than ANYWHERE else. ]

Laura,

I couldn't draw it and my wording was bad.  I meant they don't overlap DIRECTLY on top of each other.  One curve "lost" on top of the other.  One curve peak is off to the left or right of the other.  The bottoms of the "bells" most definately DO overlap.  Is that a better description?  And I'd be willing to bet that in almost EVERY testable catagory we'd see this.  Sometimes women scoring better (much better) than men, other times men with the advantage.  I'd bet there are very few things (maybe resting heart rate or breathing rhythm) where both curves would directly overlap.

Better?

My point was simply:  Men and women are not the same, not equal.  Sure they both deserve the same basic rights but not the right to do the same jobs when they physically can't.

And truthfully,  Yes, I think we'd be better off as a society and it would be better for our children if we DID go back to men working and women staying home and raising the kids.  Just my opinion.  I don't think that putting your kid in daycare with some ignorant teenager making $5 an hour is good for our kids.  You want THEIR morals ingrained into your kids psyche?  You should hear the stories I've heard about what goes on.  One of the ladies I talked to couldn't finish the day working at a daycare.  She said they were very mean to the kids.  Then, when the parents get home they SPOIL the kids rotten to make up for it.  Yea kid, you can have anything you want and we'll call it "quality time".  Yes, we did it, we went the two income route and we regret it now.  Sure he's "OK" but we both think he'd have come out much better and been easier to handle if we had raised him completely ourselves.  Is it cool to have two incomes and save one so you can retire early?  Sure.  But at what cost.  But don't listen to the crazy old man.

commuter,

I'm married, they're married.  I'm loyal, most of them are too.  I'm an impartial listner.  Like the way strangers on an airplane spill their guts to each other.  They may never see me again.  Get it?  Probably not...

You know I don't enjoy the digs I make toward you.  But I won't stand by and be insulted without a shot back here and there.  For the sake of the thread, I control myself.  You are SO negative in every post you make.

c,

The hurt is to me when their "rights" interfere with my "rights".  It does happen you know.  My hurt is paying tax dollars to support a group that shouldn't be here (illegal mexicans).  My hurt is allowing a travesty of a dearly held institution (gays changing the meaning of marriage).  My hurt is paying for the treatment of gays diseases that run rampant in their group.  My hurt is when a woman FORCES her way into a job she can't do and everyone else has to increase their work to cover for her while she "steals" the better positions others have worked years to attain because she can't do the other lower level jobs alone.  There are times when I'm directly "hurt" by these peoples actions.  Maybe not physically but at the least monitarily.  

Since when is it noble to let others do what they want at your expense?  Do you ALWAYS let others walk over you?  Take advantage of you?  Steal from you?  I'm sure you too have limits.  I have limits, I have lines I don't want crossed.  Your limits seem to be at a different level, a lesser severity than mine.  Again it is the action I can't accept not necessarily the person.  Why do we have such a problem in this country telling people NO?

I don't hate all white people but I do hate the ones who do home invasions.  I don't hate all black people but I can't stand the ones who blast rap "music" with cursing and derogative remarks so loud that my car bounces and my windows vibrate.  I don't hate immigrants but I do hate those who sneak into the country illegally.  OK, I don't like gays at all.  I don't really consider them a "class" of people.  I consider them mearly a group with mental disease like bipolar or depression who need treatment not encouragement.  I hate their trying to make us all accept their behavior as normal.  I don't hate women but I hate having them PLACED into positions they can't handle.

That is me personally.  My limits, my threshold, is lower than yours.  Why can't YOU accept me and my wishes for what I believe is the right thing?  Are my wishes unreasonable?

The loss to society is even greater.  Reducing things to the lowest common denominator.  Reducing the standards for the lowest person involved.  People who shouldn't be here taking 10 million jobs from Americans.  The mentally defective forcing us to accept their devient lifestyle.

All I do here is make points that have been shown to be true.  Nothing I have said here was untrue.  I can and have produced corroborating evidence supporting my arguments.  All I ever get back (except from a very few here, you, Laura, and 1 or 2 others) is "your stupid, you're wrong" and some crap about how they know someone different.  I expect that considering they're most likely in their teens.  I preech curves!  Sure there are exceptions, lots of them.  But GENERALLY it's this or that.  Everything is labeled, compartmentalized, whatever words you used.  Everything is put in it's little box.  That is what humans do.  That is how we keep track of things and understand relationships.  Only a retard who CAN'T doesn't label.  Look at what you are:  Kingdom: Animalia because you're not a plant or a fungus, Phylum: Chordata because you have a spinal chord, Class: Mammalia because you are a temperature self regulator... it goes on and on.  Labeling is what humans do.  Admit it.

I really do appreciate your "restraint", your candor, and your oftentimes thought provoking responses.  At least you read my posts.  Others either don't or can't understand.  I usually don't agree with what you say, but I can understand YOU from them and I think you have a good heart.  I don't know your age but I'd expect your views to change when you "move up" a bit and it's YOU paying for everything or directly affected by some of these groups.  When you're denied a promotion because a woman HAD to take that job because she couldn't do yours you may learn to agree with me.  Quotas suck for everyone.  They're not good for the company and they create animosity.

mastrind,

Look here for world records:  http://www.olympic.org/uk/utilities/reports/level2_uk.asp?HEAD2=9&HEAD1=5

Women are not only NOT in the same league as men, they're not in the same game.  To paraphrase a movie:  "Their league is so far from the mens league that if theirs blew up now, it would take three days for the sound of the explosion to reach the men".

What did YOU have for breakfast today?  Ignorance.  I can't believe you typed that drivel.  Yes, women CAN'T compete in mens leagues because they simply CAN'T compete.  A woman in the NBA?  As what towel girl?  A woman in hockey?  As what, something to turn into a smear on the ice?  You're really kidding right?  My God man...  Wake up!
