Who's Smarter: Girls or Guys?

Not only do I disagree with this, I'll go as far as to say that anyone who makes a comparison between two things as irrelevant as height and intelligence are complete and utter fools. For you to even think of comparing the two is ridiculous, and that goes for anyone else.

ok men may be taller by ratio, but that doesn't mean that if you tooka full grown man and put him next to a full grown woman that the male would be taller. ratio proves nothing except that its a ratio that there are more tall men to tall women. but not that MEN automatically will be taller.

however in either respect a persons height as xanagar said has absolutely no relation to intelligence. and intelligence is not something you have but something you acquire. I may be less intelligent than one female but through careful study and time I can become more intelligent

But taking a random man and and random woman, the man will probably be taller. You're logic is like on standing a male midget next to a really tall woman and taking from that that all women are taller.

Bald Eagle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Body length ranges from 71 to 96 cm (28–38 in). Adult females have a wingspan of up to 2.44 m (88 in), while adult males may be as small as 1.68 m (66 in).[2] Adult females weigh approximately 5.8 kg (12.8 lb), males weigh 4.1 kg (9 lb).[6] The size of the bird varies by location; the smallest specimens are those from Florida, where an adult male may barely exceed 2.3 kg (5 lb) and a wingspan of 1.8 m (6 ft). The largest are Alaskan birds, where large females may exceed 7.5 kg (16.5 lb) and have a wingspan of over 2.4 m (8 ft).[4]



Do you disagree with those statements about bald eagles?

I don't think that's his logic....

IMO, yes, it's likely that the guy would be taller, but it is not certain.

yea, just because someone is tall enough to touch the ceiling with their hand doesn't mean they have a high IQ.

Imo, intelligence doesn't depend on height, or gender, so neither is smarter.

i agree - im pretty sure intelligence is based on height or anything...other than intelligence

yeah intelliegence is not based on height i dont know how you guys could even think that, what is thee more room for brains if there taller

[Chosen Again]

You guys. . . you're stupid. Please don't post here.

He was making a point that there are traits in people and animals that ARE based on sex. Height was an example.

[Gildragon]

yes but intelligence is not somethign you are born with. YOU GAIN IT. it is nota trait fo your birth. your intelligence can grow. it has no connection to that kind of relation of height

[Chosen Again]

You gain KNOWLEDGE. Intelligence is static. It is mental capacity. Knowledge is what you know.

[Gildragon]

intelligence is an ability (and can also mean knowledge). you develop skills and abilities. if one person does that more with intelligence they will be more intelligent. if all the women did that then there would b eno question but the fact is noone sex does that over the other. you increase intelligence. with knowledge and common sense. thats how intelligence works

i agree with this person above, chosen above is just changing the words to fit his benefit

[Gildragon]

ok your post doesn't make sense to me gramatically.

can you elaborate a litte?

[AnimeK91]

there i fixed it i was agreeing with you

[violent_anger]

just like how a man is more likely to be smarter. i mean, if i even have to say that it's not certain, you don't deserve to breath.

intelligence is not the same as knowledge. by that logic, every single person who did not have good education would be stupid, and that just plainly is not true.

[Gildragon]

from what do you base that it is more likely

Oh I agree with you that intelligence and knowledge are different.

but, if you were unitelligent you would not be able to retain knowledge and if you were intelligent you would be able to retain more. the two work together more knowledge will increase you intelligence

you are not born with a certain level of intelligence or a place where you intelligence will peak.



again nothing you say has any bearing on whether gender affects intelligence
