For every 100 women who think The Three Stooges were funny there are 10,000 men.

jmmom · June 9, 2006, 1:43pm

For every 100 women who can find the pants, top, belt, 2 matching socks and shoes to wear that day without asking for help from a spouse there are 2.4 men. At most.

seriously idad, that is an overwhelming amount of information and quite interesting

jimbob1225 · June 9, 2006, 1:46pm

That was Very nice. Thanks!

P.S. For every 100 emotionally disturbed boys AND girls there are 100 angry mothers to blame.

tsdad · June 9, 2006, 2:07pm

We males sure are fragile. Women should treat us nice or we might break.

SBmom · June 9, 2006, 3:22pm

It certainly seems clear that nature recognizes that boy-ness is a little more lethal so nature counterbalances by creating more boys. However, we seem to be making being a boy even harder in our society (beyond the inherent dangers of boy energy).

High-energy boys probably were happier 150 years ago, doing lots of physical work and trailing behind their farmer dads while they plowed the fields than they are sitting at desks for 8 hours…

Marian · June 9, 2006, 3:43pm

From a thread over on the SAT board at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=200330[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=200330</a>

For every 100 girls who took the SAT, 87 boys took the SAT.

I cannot figure out why this would be true. Are there really that many boys who are in such bad shape academically that they don’t even try?

Also, while the statistics do indeed indicate that boys are the more fragile and troubled gender in many respects, we must not forget the following:

For every 100 girls who got pregnant in high school, 0 boys got pregnant in high school.

TheDad · June 9, 2006, 4:08pm

A definitive difference: no male has ever come up to me and said, “Nice shoes!”

barrons · June 9, 2006, 4:29pm

You need to buy better shoes.

jmmom · June 9, 2006, 5:07pm

LOL, TheDad. LOLOLOLOLOL, barrons.

idad · June 9, 2006, 7:39pm

That was indeed good.

“For every 100 girls who took the SAT, 87 boys took the SAT.
I cannot figure out why this would be true. Are there really that many boys who are in such bad shape academically that they don’t even try?”

I think there are many more promising jobs that appeal to men & that don’t require college than there are for women. There are many different types of intelligence. A bright, mechanically inclined boy can do brilliantly as a plumber, auto tech, etc. They will out earn most college educated peers and happily work in fields that suit them.

TheDad · June 9, 2006, 7:54pm

Barrons, they’re good Eccos. What do you think, nice little pumps with 2" heels?

emeraldkity4 · June 9, 2006, 8:56pm

actually women can also work in tech jobs and I would not say they will out earn those with college degrees-
overall a BA adds more to your earnings than just a high school diploma would- although if you don’t have a high school education your income has actually declined while those with a high school diploma are holding steady- just not advancing.

I was thinking about aptitudes and what our society values.
My husband for instance is very talented- he is in high demand at his factory and they reserve special projects for him- he is good not only working with close tolerance military specs- but woodwork- wiring- etc.
HOwever he hates paperwork- doesn’t like desks or computers and refuses to move into management
But if he had been born 400 years ago- he would have been well respected in the community-but our society now values those who can juggle figures and do a good sell job over those who work with their hands.

TheDad · June 9, 2006, 9:05pm

EK, there is truth in the notion that some skills are better suited for some times & places than others. I think that, collectively, we do a so-so job at matching temperaments to the right jobs and then valuing them accordingly.

DRJ4 · June 12, 2006, 8:25pm

The college stats show that for every 100 girls with college degrees there are 84 boys. That’s outside any reasonable margin of error and I don’t think it’s explained by saying boys are content to be plumbers.

The suicide and prison stats are truly sobering.

binx · June 13, 2006, 2:29am

Well, we always said S1 should have been born a girl.

I was surprised by a number of listings - especially the suicide. Assumed the higher death rate for boys in late teens/ early twenties was war related.

Missing statistic: for every 100 women who visit the restroom in groups, 0 guys take a buddy with them.
