Do men and woman 'play' the stock market differently?

[Sean K]

I woke up next to a half eaten kebab this morning.

My girlfriend was away on a 'girls night out'.

Girls have certain genetic make up to make them good at what they were designed to do in order that the human species survive. One of those things was not the natural ability to shoot a gun. Some girls will have more of the hormonal and genetic make up to do things that males were designed to do, like run fast and lift heavy things. In the middle there is a blurring of abilities, and eventually, due to evolution and technicalogical development of the planet, we will have very similar capabilities. The human species is destined to become more and more androgenic. Or is that androgenous. The point is, that guys will soon be just as bad a shots as females because we no longer have to do it. We just sit in front of the computer screen and TV and melt our brains and bodies away. My prediction of the future human - think ET.

Kennas,honestly talk about generalisation,
all that you said can be sheated back to conditioning!
Visit the site Wayne put up before,its actually pretty good,theres one page in there, where all these statues of heroic women are represented very enlightening.

And by the way how do you know what girls where designed to do.
Lets say for example that I say,men are supposed to be protecters and all that,please explain,domestic violence in that context.

Vis, not just conditioning but nature. Do you think it's 100% conditioning?

Yes, there have been some incredible women in the history of mankind. he, he.

But, I'm sure they were all displaying general male traits to be great!

I'm sure Joan of Arc had more testosterone flowing through her body than the average chick.

Hormones maketh the nature of the creature.

To your first question I say yes,

Now to your other assertions,women who are good shots are lesbians,
Great women leaders have lots of testosterone,
And if women display great leadership skills they are showing male traits.

Now presumably what you are certain of is that males are great at protecting and women make great nurtureres,but you didnt answer my question where do the wife bashers fit in.

Hey y'all
Kennas to your supposition that females are not genetically disposed to fire a gun...come on.... quote....One of those things was not the natural ability to shoot a gun.
Are you seriously telling me males are!!!!
Correct me if I'm wrong but talking 'genetically' aren't you supposed to be disposed to clubbing,wrestling and grunting..... o.k...o.k. and running fast. :
I have to agree with Visual on this........on OTHER things genetics yes but NOT genetics in THIS case.
In the case of taking a life.....that's a whole othe kettle.
Cheers....
No half eaten Kebab here....yet. :drink:
Wallabies...lost...sorry

I think it's fair to say that there are certain qualities than both men and women have which have developed over time and are quite distinct. Women are better multitaskers while men have better spatial abilities for eg. One of those spatial abilities is hand eye coordination, which is required for hunting, and now more for recreational activities and sport. Women will become better shots over time, but atm, they naturally aren't as good as men because of both nature and nurture.

Alan Pease wrote an interesting book on the subject. There are differences of course.

Men have poor peripheral vision unless something is moving, but have great concept of distance depth etc (spatial ability as kennas says) Thats why we are great hunters, but can't find the jar of mustard that's right on front of our nose.

Women have great peripheral vision and not so great spatial ability. That's why they know we're checking them out even though they're looking the other way

... and why they can't read maps

I'm outa here

Thanks Wayne, I was going to bring the domestic blindness up. Question answered.
The map reading, women tend to go by land marks [in my case as they go by] while men always seem to know which direction north/south is. Maybe because back at the cave, women generally didn't need this skill as we stayed close to home.
Sounds logical......
Thanks Kennas....your comment sounded logical too.
cheers
