Are women more calculated than men?

[Anonymous]

All in the question. When it comes to life, do women use their brain's more than men?

Depends on what you mean.

Are men typically bigger risk-takers and more impulsive than women? Statistically yes, but not every man acts before he thinks and those who do don't do it in every situation. Likewise, there are many women who are quite impulsive and likewise prone to Darwin Award-worthy decisions.

Do women more than men typically give more weight to their emotions than to logical arguments or facts? Stereotypically and in practice, yes, but some women are much more level-headed than others. Some men also tend to operate based more on their feelings or values than on facts.

Most women I've met are more organized than most men I've met, for what that's worth in terms of "using your brain." Most women I've met are also more cautious and more hyper-aware of their surroundings, especially in social situations or when they feel like they might be in a bad spot, as far as being "calculated" goes.

As far as actual brain usage, though, I'd say we're pretty much on par with one another.

I'm probably going to be viewed as a traitor and holding the female race back, but no. I think men on average are more logical and natural born leaders(for the most part, not all).

Women use their hearts more than anything. Hell, look at the question in the sexuality section about getting revenge on an ex by sending nudes/sexual pics of him to people.

not sure on the more, maybe just develop at different stages in life. I feel guys at a younger age tend to resolve matters using more physical solutions, and girls a bit more subtle with words and mind games. Later on guys starts to develop these also. There are exceptions, I have met some guys that kept up a mask of sorts probably due to upbringing and environment, that annoyed the hell out of me though.

LOL by calculated, do you mean the unwavering pursuit of logic and reason?

Cus guys know, logic and reason won't win an argument with their wives/girlfriends. Don't even deny it. If you mean manipulative, then yes. Women are far more manipulative than men. That isn't a horrible thing though. If roles were reversed, men would do the same thing. Humans do whatever it takes to get by.

yes we are. Guys are more in the moment and are more likely to get caught. Women plan

Some are calculating and manipulative, which is not to be envied.

Yes, but don't worry, a small percentage of women are like me and don't have social brains for manipulation.

Is this a serious question? Dude if I see a button that says "Do Not Touch", I touch it.
