there are probably plenty out there. i'd dare say that even if a girl has genius level IQ, society (parents included) are pressuring her to under-utilize her talents.

-parents give her dolls instead of legos
-society tells her play dress up and tea party instead of breaking things/putting things back together
-social media tells girls to look at make up and clothes instead of science and nature
-no role models/mentors available to nurture

Their IQs have a different bell curve than men. Fewer extremes on either end, more likely to be average.

There are fewer female geniuses and also fewer female dunces (which might explain why there are only a few women miscers).

Physically, the two hemispheres of their brains are more strongly connected than a male brain, which might be the root cause of this. The corpus callosum in their brains, which enables communication bw the two hemispheres is simply larger than a male's on average.

Meaning, a female Einstein might not be as good at physics as the male one, but she would be stronger in other areas than her male counterpart - which also explains why there aren't nearly as many exceptional women as men. To truly stand out, often you have to be at the very top and the difference between being famous and unknown is miniscule, so women just don't stand out as often intellectually. This goes for a lot of things, how many people can mention the guy who got all the silver medals when Michael Phelps won like 10 dozen or however fuking many he did. Almost nobody without googling it, but there was some dude who was almost as good as Phelps who just came up short and almost nobody can name him.

The idea feminists pass around, about women being forced/conditioned into feminine roles is mostly horse****. We'll see that in 10-20 years when, after being forced and shoved into engineering and other roles, there aren't really going to be nearly as many standout females who get there on merit alone.

It mostly comes down to biology. Sorry, but men and women are different, get the fuk over it.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

How do you measure whether or not someone has been previously exposed to the types of question on the iq test? How do you know whether or not someone was previously exposed throughout their life to a line of thinking present in the iq test? If someone takes an iq test 5 times is only their 5th time counted?
There are other races and nationalities that heavily outperform whites with vastly different educational styles.
Studies have been done showing that people in temperate regions were typically smarter than their tropical counterparts particularly in regions where conflict was high.

Multiple exposures to IQ tests are unlikely to result in increased scores. There is variability of a few points from test to test. Because it isn't really used on anything except studies and dick measuring contests (mensa) when you hear someone talk about their IQ it is usually their "best" result. It is also probably from one of the BS Online tests.

Regardless it doesn't have any impact on you. Specialized education beats out raw intelligence for all, but the extreme outliers.

I assume that physical differences in the brain account for this variation, so the physical dissimilarity amongst men continues on a micro level.

My theory:
Men went out to hunt while women stayed in the village picking lettuce and cleaning baby buttholes... Our brain sharpens and grows through experience, imagine spending the majority of your days stimulating your brain with new environments and problem solving news ways to hunt.. Through these hunting trips males developed increased mental and physical abilities while women stagnated behind doing the same chit over and over, this was a process that lasted thousands of years during our hunter gatherer phase...

Honestly I don't know how this is a debate, men invented pretty much everything, why do women act like both sexes are only physically different?

There is actually some theorizing that hunter-gatherers shared parenting more equally. Maybe because there wasn't really much of a "behind" to be left to.
Hunter-gatherer societies practice alloparenting, with many members of the band helping to raise the children. They are highly egalitarian and showing-off, as well as a display of status, are discouraged and mocked at. There are simply no hierarchical positions like “alphas” and “omegas”. One way of achieving this is for females to mate with humble, introverted males instead of assertive, extraverted ones. It is in this way that females actually have indirectly control over males. This means that introversion in males is ancient and goes back at least 200.000 years when early homo sapiens appeared.

And just lol @ men who feel like victims.

Being born a man is such an advantage. I wish I was born a larger man with an even larger brain.



I'd say brain size is probably the largest contributor factor, those extra 250 cc on average matters.


However, I'm pretty certain there are some genius men with female sized brains.

Paul McCartney
Jimi Hendrix
Michael Angelo
Davinci
Shakespear
Einstien
The Wright Brothers
Marconi
Nicola Tesla
Henry Darger
Mark Twain
Ben Franklin
Andy Warhol


Some are science types some are not.
Often the people with the highest "IQ" contribute the least.
Not always but often.
That's not an answer.

IQ is intelligent quotient based on standardized testing to best numerate a person's intelligence.

A genius is someone that is exceptional in terms of intelligence or creativity. Anyone with an exceptional IQ is a genius.

That's an objective fact.

I think it's an advantage if you got either above average intelligence plus a non-fukked bodyorabove average physical ability plus average intelligence.

Dumb weak men are completely fukked. Well, only figuratively of course.

I think it's partially due to this. Only recently have women started working full time careers with the rise of liberalism and feminism in the past half century. As far as I know back throughout history and most cultures the man was the supplier and the woman stayed in the home and raised the children. That need to provide or not survive would likely provide an evolutionary advantage to problem solving among males.

It's likely similar to why the majority of billionaires are men. It's both natured (evolutionary, genetic) and nurtured (socially conditioned) as our modern societies still contain several remnants of our evolutionary past. Billionaires also tend to think differently than other people, they have an unusual drive for success and tolerance to failure.

I think this explains why if men and women were incredibly equal in the workplace (numbers, pay, etc.) there would still be a significant discrepancy. And that's to take nothing away from a woman either. I believe they can be just as intelligent as men, have been numerous genius women throughout history who have contributed significantly in one way or another and likely those we'll never know about.

- only explanation for his "theory" was his experience in university lmao

The second paragraph is hilarious
As true this actually is, there is an important detail missing here. Not all girls go for alpha males. Not because they can’t get one, but because their genes are programmed not to want one in the first place. They prefer nice and intelligent guys to muscle-flexing sporty guys. At university, I met quite a lot of girls, who seemed to be happy with introverted, geeky “omega males” like me. And in my 30s I finally found the girl who would be happy to get married to me.
and then he continues with
What does this mean for evolutionary psychology?
like his sad college experience has any weight on evolutionary psychology whatsoever

Thanks for the laugh, repped

To answer OP:

Men go thru puberty, they become faster (including faster thinking), stronger (including stronger connections in the brain for electric signals to travel when we think) etc. Bigger brain and so on.

most genius is just people who start at a early age in learning, while other kids are playing in the mud, and playing with toys they want to learn math/science, etc. all day and don't have to work or have any responsibilities such as bills, etc. The the downside they sacrifice social activities and usually never practice those skills for social interaction.

Take for example a piano genius lang lang, started playing at age 3, at age 3 I was playing with toys, If I started any thing serious at that age I would be a master by 18-20. Now the important part is you have to actually love it yourself if your parents force you, you may be good but have mental health issues. for example michael jackson was forced to practice and get on the stage and perform or he got beat by the belt which caused mental health damage, but made him a genius in music.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

It is likely a combination of genetics/evolution and social environment and history. While you're right that both factors can be simultaneously true, it's impossible to know which factor is most important without controlling for and isolating one of the variables, which is impossible. And as the race IQ gap and the Flynn effect show (that latter illustrating that IQ scores have increased significantly among Americans over the last 100 years) social environment and history play an enormous role. For anyone to claim at this point that the lack of female geniuses can be attributed to genetics or biology is the equivalent of giving someone a massive head start in a marathon race, calling the winner prematurely, and then explaining the victory in genetic terms.
