    Good God man you are a fool. Men don't bench press more than women 'because we use our muscles more', we are stronger because we have on average 10-20 times more testoterone in our bodies than women. More testosterone gives us an extra boost to grow more muscle.

    Silly boy.

    PROPER KNOB, indeed more testosterone give us the edge. AGREED.

    A brain that has EVOLVED to be 10% larger also gives us that SAME edge. Tens of thousands of years of systematic analyzation of life's problems and dangers also gives us that same edge. An edge that puts us at the top of the food chain.

    I have a sneaking suspicion that 90% people here agree with me, as NO ONE is challenging me with legitimate facts but rather straying off topic.

    I'm not talking about what gives us an edge. As to your topic, maybe men do have better cognitive skills than women and that's why there are not many elite female chess players. Maybe also it has something to do with chess being a severly male orientated sport. Why do women not play chess? Maybe they have better things to do than sit round with a load of weirdy-beardy men talking about the finer points of the English Attack of the Najdorf Sicilian. Who knows? And to be blunt i don't really care!!

    My point was that men can bench press more than women because of a phsiological difference, nothing at all to do with the reason you gave. In fact your reason didn't even make sense, and if you asserted that with such confidence and it is utter nonsense, it leads me think...........do you really know what you're talking about when it comes to everything else posted here??

    I doubt it, but carry on beacuse it keeps me amused!!

    Interestingly, it is scientific fact that the male brain is slightly larger....the female brain is slightly more compact, so there for has higher efficiency and has less "empty space" when compared to a male

    ....
    So I guess what I'm saying is that it's not the size that counts, but what you do with it...
    ....
    oh, and that Im sure you fail on both accounts...otherwise you wouldn't be such a troll

    We don't need to challenge you, your statements are clearly nonsense.

    The conclusions you make do not follow a logical path from your statements. You're just a lot of hot air.

    Can anyone give me a sport or hobby where women are on par with men, or better?

    Judith Polgar was so very close to being the best player in the world. All it would take is a slightly stronger version of her, and we'd have a woman as world champ.

    Close? Bronstein and Schlechter were close.
