Originally posted by LanndonKaneI think the reason why we see more men as top player than woman is because there are more male players. Think about it. Let's in a group of 40 RHPers, 15 are woman and the rest are men (That's makes up about 25 male players). Now all these players are of equal skill and equal intelligance. What's the probablitity that a woman is going to be the top player? Very slim. Reason: there are more male players so the odds are higher that a man is going to be at the top over a woman being at the top.
I think he means who is better at chess, men or women. And thats a good question, because all the top players in the world right now are men. Why can't both genders be equal at chess, its not an activity where one sex characteristic comes in handy more than another.
As for the reason why there are less female players I think comes down to this: I think they would much rather go out and do some shopping and things than sitting down and playing a game. To them, they would rather be in large social groupings than in small ones. The same sort of idea comes down to computer games too where there's a limited number of female players. As far as I recall (Don't quote me on this. This number and facts maybe a little different now or I might be a little out), there was only one game where the female players matched up the male players and come close to surpassing them was Maxis' The Sims series (So 50% of the players were woman). I think the reason why was because one of the main characteristics was social ineractions in a digital domain. In otherwords, they get to medle in the lives of digital people hence fullfilling the social component. So if chess were to fullfill the social requirement a little bit more, we would see a lot more female players. (Of course, this idea doesn't apply to every female player like myself for example. I'm far more likely to be playing (Aside from Chess) Perfect Dark or Gunz: The Duel or something. XD )

Most of my female friends are intelligent but spend a limited time on 'hobbies'. Most of their time is spent on the home, on their families and going out socialising.

Of course men are better than women.
Women only have one ability: the ability to have children. Furthermore, the ability to have children is simply a convaluted means of avoiding
having to do work. Yet, this innate ability is held up as proof that a woman has
a higher pain threshold than a man. If men were to have kids rather than women
they would pop that bad boy out in five minutes and still make it to the pub to
watch the second half of the footie.
"Christ Davey, I thought that was a beer belly" would be the cry upon his return.
Women are three times more likely to be illiterate than men mostly due to the
fact that they talk more than they listen. So if any of you have young girls or are
buying a present for a young girl: put down that barbie and pick up a 'hooked on phonics.'
Women have to have an excuse for everything. They can excuse promiscuous
behaviour by asserting that their biological clock is ticking and moods with menstrual
cycle. Men don't
make excuses (except when having to avoid listening to the inane ramblings of a
woman), we have a thing called integrity.
As for chess: HA! Their fuzzy little brains can't cope with it.

It seems YOUR mother must have been preoccupied performing womens' third talent, fellatio, most likely on the garbage man. She obviously wasn't focused on "raising" you properly.
Originally posted by FrenchQueenTrue. Actually, if men became househusbands and had a huge part in raising female children, you would actually get something similar as a result. It's been scientifically proven. I'm not saying men are better parents but I'm saying men have different parental qualities that they can offer.
This has also to do with the fact that young girls are not really encouraged to play games like chess when they're young.
If men and women were brought up the same way, there would be more female chess players overall.
