1. In this recession, we are more likely to keep our jobs.

 A lot of people are losing their jobs right now, but it is disproportionately affecting men e.g. manufacturing jobs, Wall Street Bankers.

2. We are better drivers.

A common (and unfair) stereotype abounds that men are better drivers than women. Men are more than twice as likely to be killed in a car accident than women.75% of drivers killed behind the wheel were men. Plus, we get better insurance rates etc.

3. We are more intelligent
While studies show that, on average, men are smarter than women by about 3 to 5 IQ points only because they are taller. Larger bodies make for larger organs, including the brain. When you eliminate that discrepancy, though, women prevail.


4. We make more strategic purchases for the long-term and don't waste money on impulse buys.

According to Joeseph Carrabis of iMedia, men are more likely to look only at a products mechanical functionality when considering a purchase. women, on the other hand, want to know if it also meets their specific needs …a valuable habit in the current economy.

5. We have more fashion choices.
Enough said.


6. We are less likely to die on the job.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that construction and transportation/warehousing are the two sectors with the highest number of fatalities, but agriculture and mining have the highest rate of worker deaths. Not a lot of women in those areas.


7. Our budget for booze is less than men's.
For a woman, a single glass of wine can do the job. A man needs a martini (or two) and a glass of wine. With smaller body size comes less body water.

8. We never have to worry about erectile dysfunction.
Enough said

9. We can still be the first.
Men have accomplished a lot but women are celebrated more when they accomplish just a milestone e.g. Kim Ng, first woman to run a MLB team


10. We can figure out how to lose weight.
Men are fat. The number of overweight men is 7% higher than overweight women but there are more diet books out there to support us than men.

Hurray! I've always loved being a woman...though I'm not taking full advantage of many of its perks, such as #5 above.

I wasn't aware that taller people had higher IQ points. So, people from countries like Germany must have very high IQ points.
