10 Things Women Do Better Than Men
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.
While surfing through the web for my today's post
I saw this article on COSMOPOLITAN, found it interesting,
so decided to share with you.Tons of recent studies
proving that women have some amazing abilities
that men lack. We have listed ten of our favorites.
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.
