We all know that Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. Despite their basic differences, there are still some common grounds where women have proven to be the better gender.
1. Better Looking
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 ave a daughter as their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in past generations.
2. Less Accident Prone
This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to “Wear your seatbelt!”
3. Better at Catharsis
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. Un-Fireable At Work
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. Better Educated
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. Healthier Diet
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. Fight Off Infection Better
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. Longer Life
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. Better Bosses
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 multi-taskers 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. Better At Communication
This one isn’t about talking a mile a minute, like you probably suspected. It’s now scientifically proven that women can process more words than men. A study done by Louann Brizendine of the University of California at San Francisco showed that men can process approximately 7,000 words per day, compared to women’s 20,000 words. The study found that this characteristic can start as early as the fetal stage and is more biological than social.
