Women Suck!

[andrewducker]

Studies have shown that girls do better in all girl's schools than they do in mixed schools.

Which makes this study particularly interesting.

It's hard to summarise more than it already is, but it shows that when women compete with men and women they don't improve their performance significantly, whereas men do. Women competing solely with Women _do_ improve their performance, it's just when competing in mixed circumstances that they don't seem to improve as much.

I'm not sure what's going on, but it definitely deserves researching in more details to see what's going on.

I was absolutely stunned to find that when I went away to university guys actually spoke to me, asked me out and things like that, because at school "clever" seemed to mean "undesirable".

Yep. 'Zactly what happened with me too. Glad we both seem to have found guys who don't mind that we've got a degree, or when we make more money. :)

Yep.

And, of course, the only guys we're missing out on are ones who aren't really worth the bother anyway due to their odd hangups... :o)

Damn right! *chuckle*

I consider myself pretty understanding of most odd hangups (got a few of my own, even), but I never could understand "I can only be with someone dumber/poorer than myself." Huh??? I mean, if they're smarter, make more money, & still want to be with you, what is the problem?? *shrug*
