Men really are more stupid than women, research shows

It's official! Men really are stupider than women, accounting for 90 per cent of people who have died in foolish ways, according to the Darwin Awards.

It's enough to start a new battle of the sexes, but when it comes to needless and untimely deaths, men win hands down.
A 20 year study of the Darwin Awards, an annual review of the most foolish way people have died, found almost 90 per cent were 'won' by males.
Named after Charles Darwin, who postulated the suvival of the fittest, it recognises those who have inadvertently improved the gene pool by elimiating themselves from the human race by astonishingly stupid methods.
Worthy candidates have included a man stealing a ride home by hitching a shopping trolley to the back of a train, only to be dragged two miles to his death before it was able to stop, and the terrorist who unthinkingly opened his own letter bomb on its return after he posted it with insufficient stamps.
Other examples include the man who shot himself in the head with a 'spy pen' weapon to show his friend it was real, and the thief attempting to purloin a steel hawser from a lift shaft - and unbolted it while standing in the lift which then plummeted to the ground, killing him.

I agree with the findings where men do tend to make on the spot rash decisions.
Have no doubt less women have died through stupid decisions, they take forever to make a decision lol.

Could not help but PMSL at the terrorist, talk about Karma.

Have a good evening folks, am off out for the evening

OBVIOUSLY that Telegraph article was most likely written by some frustrated and butt-ugly fat old spinster who hasn't yet been able to find "Mr. Right" (or Mr. "Last Chance" ?).

(AS an 'aside':  IF I EVER find a woman who genuinely 'worked her way to the top' purely through intelligence and qualifications ~ rather than by scheming, manipulating, back-stabbing, lying and libel, 'street smarts' and blackmail ~ I will be sure to let y'all know..).

I KNEW IT!

Also, the study points out, women are more risk-adverse.

Pfffff what would you know? You're stupid!

You know the most common last words of a Texan male, right?

"Y'all hold my beer and check this shit out!"

Well duh......said every woman ever......

LOL

Do you know why there are more women in nursing homes...


Men are smart enough to die

Husband: "The building is about to collapse darling, we need to leave now"

Wife: "But I cannot decide whether I want to wear my black or red heels"



Sorry could not resist and as I say women are less prone to making such rash decisions as men are. Which is because they take their time over making a choice, which is no bad thing if you have time of course.
