This came from an article on
Cosmopolitan's Website about a recent study that proves women are better than men at certain things. I just had to share this.
1. We evolve hotter.
A
recent study
revealed that women are getting better looking through evolution;
meanwhile, men are staying the same. After following more than 2,000
people through four decades of life, the study showed that attractive
women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks and that
beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as their
firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than
in past generations.
2. We survive car accidents more often.
This is sad but
true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than
women, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Our
boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to "Wear your
seatbelt!"
3. We're better at seeking comfort.
A
mind survey
of 2,000 people revealed that women are far more likely than men to
talk through their problems. Fifty-three percent of women talk to their
friends about what's stressing them out, as opposed to 29 percent of
men.
4. We're more recession-proof.
According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics,
80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have
been men. Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been
hit the hardest, like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks...but
hey, maybe it's time more men became nurses and educators.
5. We graduate college more often.
We already know that female enrollment is higher than male, but the
Department of Education's statistics reveal
that men are also less likely than women to graduate and get their
bachelor's degrees. Men are also more likely to take longer than five
years to complete their degree.
6. We eat healthier.
A
survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted by the University of
Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods than men. While
men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat, women are
piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty
obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we
just had to point this one out!
7. We have stronger immune systems.
No
wonder men act like such babies when they have a sniffle — women really
do have stronger immune systems than men! If there are little battles
going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon: estrogen. A study
done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women an edge
when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen
confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of
defense against bacteria and viruses.
8. We live longer.
Among the world's population of those who are over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the
New England Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer than men as well.
9. We're better managers, especially in this economy.
This
one is a little controversial, but a slew of experts are confident that
women make greater bosses because they are better listeners, mentors,
problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male counterparts. In
a recent Daily News article,
management expert Jay Forte said, "It's a very service-oriented economy
[right now], so you need employees to be motivated. Women are better
connectors than men and more astute about knowing how to activate
passion in their employees."
10. We invest better.
A
study of 100,000 portfolios
showed that women's investment returns outperform men's, 18 percent to
11 percent. This could be because women are typically more cautious with
their investment decisions and think longer term.
P/S: OOOOh i see ;D
