Women know exactly what they want. However, should a man ever discover what that is, women feel obligated to change their mind. Repeat as necessary.

Women derive their value/self worth from the quality of their relationships.. men derive their value from accomplishing goals...

Its just a general psychological difference between the sexes, and its well documented.

Thats right In the first contest I split the 10 dollars for win and place. So when I was right about the race I still was behind. The next time I just used the ten dollars to win and just tried to avoid the obvious chalk if I could.
A lot of it is just picking the right race with a false favorite.

(out the door in 3 minutes)

Appreciation,
Peace and quiet
A good flush toilet
Being told she's something special (smart, talented, beautiful... heck, even a good driver)
Dark chocolate
A really good belt sander.
A decent margarita

You are correct once again, good king.

As long as you cooperate on THEIR terms, things are just fine.

Reminds me of a certain group of politicians.

Even in tasks where they do well, women seem to shy away from competition, whereas men seem to enjoy it too much

How do you decide that we like it "too much"?

It always amused me when I lived in suburban Boston that the women who were most vocal about being non-competitive, anti-Little League, don't keep score, castrate their little boys-all lived in 2 million dollar Victorians that they got by marrying some guy who was very, very good at nut-cutting.

Go figure.

There is a comparison to this phenomena in the world of physics.

Quarks and the uncertainty principle.

Just trying to determine what a women wants (her position or 'charge') causes her to alter her 'state'.

bearing in mind that in science, one goes from samples of specifics to derive a general average and set of probabilities. trying to apply the general to the specific is usually an error.

additionally, i suspect that there is a greater range of variability in performance between individuals in one sex than there is between the average performances of the two sexes.

and furthermore, beware of artificially truncated sample sets. IIRC, there have been well-executed studies of samples representative of the entire population which showed that the average intelligence and functionality of the sexes had comparable averages. However, the male distribution fell on a flatter bell curve, with higher concentrations at high and low extremes than is found on the female distribution. This means that more men are either appallingly stupid or extremely clever than there are comparable women, and that the female average has a higher concentration of individuals within one statistical unit of deviation from average than does the male average.
What this means for *truncated* samples: in samples of collegers or professionals (even in such capacities as secretarial or low-end office workers) the LOWER end of both samples is unnaturally cut off, leaving the high end uncompensated, resulting in the male average appearing slightly higher than the female average.

I just assume it's male insecurity. They are confounded by our obvious superiority and are over-compensating. I take it in stride.

I think this sentence says it all regarding the feminazi-left leaning agenda of this article:

Snippet: "Suppose that promotions and raises did not depend on pleasing sexist male bosses or putting in long nights and weekends away from home."

What this woman wants is for the sudden death of all nutgrass and dandilion in my yard and garden.

And nightshade, too, while we're wishing.

At least it's not bermuda grass.

I play poker, and play alot. I can take down a lot of money in a ring game but I also have to buy in with a lot of money to have a chance at a lot of money.

But in tournament play, I can buy in for a much smaller amount and with a win, can make 500, 600, 1000% on my money or more. Even a final table can pay that if there are enough entrants.
