This is all confirmation bias because most of you have very few female friends.
Name three of your male friends who are actually really good at something, something you respect and admire and wish you could do as well as they do. I'm older than most of you and probably much better traveled. I've lived in four cities and visited dozens. I've met giants of the tech industry like Dennis Ritchie, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs. The vast majority of men I've met are fucking idiots. Most men suck at video games, sports, music, writing, art, science, programming, business, dressing themselves, not pissing on the floor, personal hygiene, feeding themselves, driving, shutting the fuck up. I could go on.

Just to play devil's advocate, do you think it's possible you're suffering from a different sort of bias? One wherein the talents of other men seem trivial and the grace of womanhood is artificially elevated? Could you be, as a wise man once warned against, "putting the pussy on a pedestal"?
Seriously though, I tried to think of three dudes I know who are really good at anything -- and it ain't easy. I guess I know some pretty decent auto mechanics, but it's tough to spot where else my bros excel.
