Proxy you started the topic...what do you think men are better at.

In my experience, I find men to be generally better at engineering, constructing things and some mathematical problems - maybe something to do with left and right brain tendencies.

Try this test - mine was Left Brain dominant (only just).

But then I did this one:

and I was Right Brain dominant. Go figure.

Dear Proxy,

My apologies if my satirical - tongue-in-cheek
approach was too "subtle" for you.
You did ask, "Men are better than
women at what?" and I thought that I'd give
you an example in a poem of an "alpha-male"
like the movie star - Silvester Stallone -
in answer to your question.

But I can see that it went right over your
head - never mind. Not all questions can be
answered.

Question: "What's he got that I haven't got?"
Answer: "Awareness!"
Question: "What's that?"

Daeron: <"Bizarrely Pynchme said "I can't think of any traditional female occupation where women have worked to exclude men."
Personnel departments, social work, care work.">

Surely you jest.

Just how have women excluded men from social work etc?

A woman I once house-shared with refused to accept even that men were generally taller or stronger than women. She also stood at the lavatory (it was an outhouse and you could see her looking through the broken louvres as it dribbled (I'm guessing) down her legs).
I personally think in terms of two overlapping normal distributions, men to the right for some things and women to the right for others.
The gap between the two right hand tails is where men exert their dominance over women in engineering, science, maths, motorcycle racing, strength, etc.
Conversely, women have a greater affinity for languages, nurturing, caring, cleaning and housework, etc.

Dear Proxy,

I'm not sure how accurate we can be
when we talk about people. Males or
females. There's always exceptions
to every rule, I guess. Yes, men
are strong, but then there's females who
also exhibit strength as well, and so
it goes.

Speaking strictly from my own point of
view, for me, my "perfect" man is (the
magic is), one who satisfies my emotional
appetite. People either connect or they
don't. If they do, that means they're
going to be starting to mould to one
another.

He's sensitive, and strong,
and mysterious. I love tenderness.
But it's the rarest emotion one encounters.

I will avoid the copy and paste:
