IMHO, I'm successful cos I'm happy and content with what I have, little or much.

To many others, they think I'm not successful at all. It all depends on their perceptions.

/Reminds me ...

List goes on,

Heart goes on,

You jump, I jump

You jump first.

//I'm looking forward to seeing my darling soon! Can't wait!

UkEQ - behind every successful woman is

a good hairdresser,

a good beautian

a good plastic surgeon

- I have none of the above... how? I wish I could find a good hairdresser but since I haven't got any leads, so I simply have to lump it, like many things here....

//Maybe Sinead O'Connor's hairstyle will come back into style... whaddaya'll think?

Seriously on the Thread, illigence has nothing to do with gender, it all depends on ones IQ and the way they exposed to information, through genral knowledge education and up bringing..

But IQ is a must. Every one of us has this God given ability, but no every one has the same amount of it..

Gypsy - "Gender only comes in as a factor because culturally women are taught to "play dumb" for men."

Weeellll... I agree with you generally but specifically, I have to agree with Panda's advice above, to an extent. Smart women do play dumb if there is something they really want to achieve. People can criticize it as manipulative but some call it managing egos for the greater good and a bigger picture. It's all a matter of what the (subjective) assessments and limits are. Btw, some call it an art of war or battle plan.

Gypsy said If a man can't handle a smart woman, then he isn't much of a man and not worth the woman's time. "

Precisely. From a woman's PoV.

From a (smart) man's PoV - it's to his advantage to have a smart (and emotionally stable) woman beside him. So to those who have one such treasure, do remember to pay attention and take care of them, cos there will ALWAYS be other alternatives waiting for the chance to take your place. Lol!

Intelligence is relative. Gender is not the issue, it's access to education, culture, confidence, etc. Gender only comes in as a factor because culturally women are taught to "play dumb" for men.

PERSONALLY I BELEIVE WOMEN A LOT SMARTER THAN MEN THATS THE REASON GOD GAVE THEM THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TAKING CARE OF CHILDREN AND PREGNENCY

THEY ARE EMOTIONAL , BUT CARING, INTELLIGENT AND PATIENT

I CHALLENGE ALL THOSE MEN - CAN YOU MANAGE THE HOUSE WITH TWO SCHOOL GOING CHILDREN AND A "WHO CARES" HUSBAND AS NEAT AND CLEAN AS YOUR WIFE

Ok. Just read wiki link above ...

Just my thoughts, without the benefit of reading further into his works and other articles by other authors:-

1) From England, spent formative years in South Africa, French mother, teen years in Canada - meaning pretty good exposure to different cultures.

2) Father building contractor - unlikely to be spoiled rich kid - probably like most of us working people - would have learned quite a bit from experience and hardships.

3) B.Sc. in psychology from Birkbeck College at the University of London in 1970, and, in 1973, received his Ph.D. from the London School of Economics for work on altruism in children.

- Well qualified. (And I'm not just saying that because my qualification is from the same Uni). The quality of British education was actually superior in the past, more so in the 1970s. Currently, fallen into some disrepute due to economic considerations

4) Continued his work at the University of Oxford until 1974 - for him to get in, in the first place, must have high IQ. While it's probably for personal reasons that he left for Canada after 1974 but it could also be a lack of EQ that saw his tenure at Oxford for only 1 year (after PhD in 1973).

Not really a quack... So, what exactly has he written about Altruism? I am Altruistic but I'm not white.

"Genetic similarity theory

heritable component in altruism ... gst - "states that individuals tend to be more altruistic to individuals who are genetically similar to themselves (kin selection), and less altruistic, and sometimes outwardly hostile to individuals who are less genetically similar."

- Very wrong as far as I am concerned. I am altruistic to people of any race who are less fortunate than me... err... and maybe I should qualify that to add ... those who are genuinely in need and who are humble, who don't lie to get as much from me as possible.

- Having said that, actually generally his statement is true by observation. While it's the current trend against forming cliques and thus holding on to narrow mindedness, it does happen very often that "birds of a feather flock together" - comfortable to have shared or similar values, experiences, backgrounds, etc.

r/K selection theory

Rushton's book Race, Evolution, and Behavior (1995) ... "purports to show that East Asians and their descendants average a larger brain size, greater intelligence, more sexual restraint, slower rates of maturation, and greater law abidingness and social organization than do Europeans and their descendants, who average higher scores on these dimensions than Africans and their descendants."

i) "average a larger brain size, greater intelligence"

- Where's the substantiation for this?

I'm from East Asia and I think the majority are daft - because they are poor and do not have the opportunities to be properly educated.

The education system of rote learning to pass exams to get high grades also simply churns out people who don't use their God-given brains to think.

Actually, with this lack of opportunity comes the drive to improve themselves. That attitude is what makes the difference, from the West who have the opportunities given to them. East Asians are not smarter, they have learned to be very resourceful.

Religious beliefs keeps many of them ethical in their resourcefulness. This is not to say that all or the majority are ethical - I have no comment on that.

"more sexual restraint, slower rates of maturation, and greater law abidingness and social organization"

- This has nothing to do with race but religious beliefs - whether it be Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity, etc.

But at the end of the day, his motivation and funding trashes his credibility though... And his methodology and research under duress are also questionable. When people are forced to do anything, they will most probably lie out of spite, so the results of whatever survey would not be totally reliable. Too many limitations to his research to be credible. Needs to change approach to do damage control. If he's not bothered, we're also not bothered about what he has to say.

Men may be more intelligent but women use their intelligece more intelligently & that's why have men at their disposal.

By anonymous• 3 Feb 2009 08:17

Intelligence is just the ability to put together a lot of facts to a relatively better scale. Intelligent animals, intelligent systems, life forms etc the list continues as intelligence is a relative term.

To be human needs wisdom and understanding more than intelligence. This is found only by living as a society whose basic unit is a family, that's a man and a woman.

So never compare between a man and a woman!

women would have to take a HUGE step down...

just kidding...seriously, they are basically equal in intelligence. Men tend to be more adept at mathematics, while women are generally better at the sciences, arts and languages. Part of what men see is what culture has taught women to do...women PRETEND to not be as intelligent because men can't handle women that are more intelligent than they are. Sad but true..Thankfully, today's cultures are finding that that farce doesn't get them anywhere so they are coming to the forefront and being themselves.

Universally, men tend to score higher on certain specialized skills. In the real world, that means they might be better at reading maps or navigating etc.. Women score higher in terms of language development and emotional intelligence. But most experts agree there is no real, important overall difference when it comes to gender and intelligence.

My advice to all women:

women listen to me, for your interest it's better to show to a man that you are more stupid then him even if you are smarter. in general man doesn't like a smart women, he feels humilated and he doesn't understand what she wants. Regards :D

By GodFather.• 2 Feb 2009 10:31

Genaralising smartness based on a study of few does not mean that it should be believed.
