            if you think men and women are the same, smart you aren't.

              Yes, there are differences in males and females. All you have to do is look at how animals act. There are very distinct differences in how lower levels of intelligence act (and by that I mean wild animals) based on sex. Even though humans are superior in intellect, it doesn't mean that we don't have instictive traits that will cause us to act a certain way.

                  Personally, I love the fact that men and women are different.

                  It makes us want and need each other.

                  If we could just stop fighting for superiority over each other and just enjoy our wonderful differences, we'd all be so much happier... Don't you think?

                    I do wonder why the woman in the picture has her hands up in the air and her hips shifted to the side, though. And, why the man has his hands on his hips with his head down.

                    What's up with that?

                              women are way smarter than men. they have to be because we out muscle them,hopefully. men only use half their brain when doing many tasks, especially listening,so take it easy on us ladies.women develope better intuition, they read the face, and situations faster than men.it no longer is,but a guy had to use their brain to hunt and protect,while women took care of home matters.

                                It looks like we need each other for the differences we share, one being as smart as need be for the tasks/roles/jobs we do for (and to) each other.

                                Men can do dumb things at times and so can women. Men can do brilliant things at times and so can women. When will the battle for superiority end?

                                When both realize that we are all superior - and look for it in each other instead of trying to find ways to "step on" each other.

                                Men should love being men; women should love being women. Men have to learn how to love women and women must love them back. Then everyone will be happy.

                                By the way, dan, studies have shown that some of the worst drivers on the road are Gemini men. And, I have witnessed that one time too many...(He almost killed us both, literally.)

                                  Of course men and women are different. The sole purpose is to procreate. I believe, God has a sense of humor. He gave man two heads, knowing he would most always use his little one and not the one on his shoulders. The differences are actually, very funny if you think about it.

                                  Overall, men and women compliment each other. When we work together as a team, that is true success.

                                    Interesting article. We are all different, men and women, family members, different cultures etc, etc. Variety is the spice. If we can enjoy each other and enjoy life. It makes the journey nice.
