Theres a girl in my local Subway and she is absolutely shte at cutting a bread roll in two, she only half cuts it and then tears the rest open , leaving it uneven and with very thin sections in some places such was her shiiite attempt at cutting it down the middle. On one occasion, I made her get me a new bread roll....twice! After her second failed attempt at cutting it open, I asked her to maybe try slicing it right through from one side to the other rather than tearing it from half-way. She wasn't impressed but did manage to cut it evenly and completely through on her 3rd attempt. She is also rubbish at spreading the fillings out evenly, preferring to dump it all at one end. I have left very poor reviews for her on the 'suggestions card' and named her but she's still employed there and still rubbish at her job.

Theres an indian/Asian guy who also works there and he is brilliant, very precise, clean and knows how to make a proper subway.

Ya wha?

For every single woman, there's probably a single man, with only a tiny percentage of either sex openly involved in a relationship with more than two people at the one time.

I mean, yes the women are more likely single by choice (although a lot of them probably feel rubbish about their choice, but them's the breaks).

For single mothers, I understand why they often go celibate. When you're struggling to juggle a job and bring up kids who won't be future crime lords, it's a risk to go for a big love affair.

What if the affair goes south, your heart breaks and you turn into a wreck while you have kids to mind? You don't want your mugshot to be the picture of a tabloid unfit mother story.

Makes sense from a historical viewpoint going way back to the egg. A woman on her own was always more vulnerable to various dangers than a man on his own. A few years ago in Tanzania IIRC some chimpanzees started attacking people who lived near their territory. Only women or kids though. They never attacked men. Even though an adult chimp could tear your arms off, they considered men just too risky a target. In modern societies that's not nearly so much in play but our own monkey brains carry that in the background.


Throwing stones. Sure there are women who are accurate with throwing things at other things, and hitting them(that's the important bit ), but generally women throwing stones? Awkward. Like a bloke using his non favoured arm, wearing a blindfold. While drunk. That likely also goes back to the egg in our history. Men being the hunters, women the gatherers. You don't have to chuck a rock at a cabbage from twenty feet away to collect it for the family*.




*women have better colour vision than men and one theory has it that this is because they needed it to discern ripeness in fruit and veg and subtle difference between toxic and safe veggies. If you just speared a wild boar you know it's fresh so... Women have better peripheral vision too, again one theory has it that its because when gathering they had to keep a wary eye open for threats around them, whereas men are more front facing focused to acquire and hit prey.

Aside from having vasectomy, I can't really think of any generalisation where one sex is better at something than the other.
My wife is better at object orientated design than me, I'm better with power tools, she does Iron Man events, I do 10ks, she's better at finding things, I'm better at video games.
Everyone is unique at what they're good at no matter what sex you are.

How may I change my free expression to please you, sir?

Because pleasing you is, of course, my sole goal in life.

You really should have more than 1 goal in life, but thanks. Flattered I guess

"Being single" is a binary state. The only way to be single badly is to be in a relationship, in which case you are not being single badly, you're being not single.

Are you talking about coping with being single? Because that's a different thing.

I don't think either sex copes with it very well. I pity the young ones going to the shops on a Tuesday evening in two inches thick of makeup.

That takes an hour to do. And if you are doing it to get toilet roll and milk on a Tuesday, you are doing it every day. These girls are spending a massive chunk of their waking lives outside work smearing expensive mush all over their faces.

And their reward is they look like everyone else and everyone can still see the big nose, double chin or whatever.

Spend that time developing some charisma, girls. It impresses the men and the women.

Playing with a child for hours and keep him/her entertained all day without losing interest, not a strong point for men, usually.

I have seen men who are great at it, and women who aren't, but on average women are ahead on this score, in my experience.

Opening things. I had to ask a strange man on the street to open a bottle of water
