At least when it comes to plumbing.
I went to a Thai massage. Turned out the masseur was male, and a cute one too. Took a lot of thinkng about fat women with dripping vaginas to keep things under control especially when I was on my back. You chicks do not know how easy you have.
:lmfao:
Why would you go to a Thai massage and worry about a boner? God you're naive. :lol:

Yeah it is annoying. I do not really know if they are turned on until it is unnecessary information.

You don't know if a woman is aroused until your basically to the point of having sex anyway.

QuoteDefend Your Research: What Makes a Team Smarter? More Women
The finding: There's little correlation between a group's collective intelligence and the IQs of its individual members. But if a group includes more women, its collective intelligence rises.
The research: Professors Woolley and Malone, along with Christopher Chabris, Sandy Pentland, and Nada Hashmi, gave subjects aged 18 to 60 standard intelligence tests and assigned them randomly to teams. Each team was asked to complete several tasks—including brainstorming, decision making, and visual puzzles—and to solve one complex problem. Teams were given intelligence scores based on their performance. Though the teams that had members with higher IQs didn't earn much higher scores, those that had more women did.
The challenge: Are brainy people overrated? Are women the true key to success? Professors Woolley and Malone, defend your research.
Woolley: We've replicated the findings twice now. Many of the factors you might think would be predictive of group performance were not. Things like group satisfaction, group cohesion, group motivation—none were correlated with collective intelligence. And, of course, individual intelligence wasn't highly correlated, either.
Malone: Before we did the research, we were afraid that collective intelligence would be just the average of all the individual IQs in a group. So we were surprised but intrigued to find that group intelligence had relatively little to do with individual intelligence.
HBR: But gender does play a role?
Malone: It's a preliminary finding—and not a conventional one. The standard argument is that diversity is good and you should have both men and women in a group. But so far, the data show, the more women, the better.

Yes, this is why women are behind all of recorded history's scientific progress, after all. :hmm:
I have no doubt that the presence of females will provoke nerds into working harder, in a bid to impress them, but I wouldn't expect the results to be directly proportional to the amount of females, rather the opposite.

they should run two tests. same guys, but with two groups of women. attractive and not attractive. wonder what the results would be.and at what point the distraction starts to diminish results.

And did the study test that?
Morewomen mean less need to compete. When in doubt there are two truths in the world: men want sex and women want to be impressed

but the "group intelligence" increased with the greater disparity in women (more) to men (less). at least, i assume based off-
QuoteBut so far, the data show, the more women, the better.
@slargos: i
think so, because that's what it seems the conclusion is. maybe not
The more the better doesnt mean more women then men. Anyway tongues been firmly in cheek since the start of this thread. No idea why groups got smarter.

You realize that the study was about groups, right? Doesn't that just show that they help with an assist?

Dream on, little canary.
Speaking seriously, women tend to add a significant cooperative/conciliatory element to a group. From my experience, whenever I was in negotiations with only / predominantly men, there has always been a lot of time wasted on dig-waving/posturing/trying to prove who is right and whatnot. When I went to negotiations with a female partner I work with, however, she often managed to turn this into more cooperative excercise, by conceding points that were unnecessary and whatnot.
Women are best in the kitchen making me a sandwich.
How does one objectively assess the results of a brainstorming session? It's possible the results are legit, it's also possible the results were rigged.
Women's plumbing is better, you crypto-straight.
While external plumbing has its downside, I wouldn't trade it for visits from Aunt Flo.

Well, from the exercises I participated in, they give you a fixed time limit and a goal ("produce 10 ideas to deal with a problem and present it to the examiner"). The group that is able to prepare a final product is better than a group that just spends the time talking. I noticed women are better in structuring.
Women are indeed natural secretaries.

Well, it's one way to look at it, but men tend to ramble and go off a tangent. I think this study proves that mixed groups are better. That's really a no-brainer.

I sure wish one of these good structuring women would tell my lady bosses how to structure meetings then. They could easily turn a five minutes of business into an hour long mess babbling on about non-business at hand related things.

Pregnancy is a but a blip compared to a life time of UTIs. Fuck that noise.
I definitely have to agree on this being a big advantage women have. Public stiffies FTL.
Hate to break it to you, but pregnancy and UTIs are both preventable.
My meetings are always short and to the point because I hate them and will avoid pointless ones. Even the ones I arrange in the pub.
How do you tell if a woman is turned on? Check her reactions when presented with a pair of Louboutins. Or when Nathan Fillion is on TV.
