Ha. I said stuff on the interwebs, so its correct. And imma man.
Someone earlier mentioned OP mustnta met many clever girls. Same goes for the above posters.
Women folk have less dumbarses and geniuses my arse. Get out more, tails.

btw I'm the guy who said the bit about OP not meeting clever girls, but what was said about IQ distribution was true. Women are more clustered around the mean, while with men the tails are larger, both high and low. More idiots but more geniuses.
There is very strong evidence for this, however it is controversial to talk about for whatever reason.
Evolutionarily, risk-taking also pays off more for men than women (mitochondrial DNA evidence shows that before we settled down into agriculture, very few men had offspring, but most women did), which is thought to be one reason young men engage in more risk-taking behavior.
There is no basis to say men are smarter than women, we have the same average IQ as well as performance on other assessments.
