10 things women do better than men

In addition to the so-called “war of the sexes”, there is a truth that must be recognized: women and men have, in essence, such profound differences that it would be difficult to understand how they ended up being considered as members of the same species. Of course, in doing so, we have become better than them at certain points, just as they have developed skills that we still don’t fully understand.

The following list lists some of the things that we women are proven to do better than men. At least that’s what the studies of world-renowned universities say.

1 – Women finish university more often than men

According to a study published by the Department of Educational Statistics, in the United States, women are more likely than men to complete their higher education, in addition to finishing their courses in a shorter period of time than their peers.

2 – Women eat better

The University of Minnesota conducted a study with more than 14,000 volunteers, which proved that women choose their foods better, usually opting for healthier ones, such as fruits and vegetables in general. Meanwhile, men are more enthusiastic about choosing pizza and frozen food, for example.

3 – The female immune system is stronger

According to research published by McGill University, the estrogen present in the female body works as a very powerful defense tool, which helps women to face infections much more effectively than men. This has an explanation: estrogen fights a certain enzyme that hinders the immune system in its defense against viruses and bacteria.

4 – Women live longer

It’s understandable that men feel upset by this statement, but it’s real. According to the New England Centenarian Study, 85% of people over 100 are women. We generally live between five and ten years longer than our peers.

5 – Women are smarter than men

According to a compilation of IQ tests conducted around the world, women are, in fact, smarter than men. James Flynn, responsible for the research, analyzed IQ tests from New Zealand, Canada, Estonia, Argentina, the United States and Europe to arrive at the final, conclusive result: they lose to us in this regard.

6 – Women are “cleaner”

A study published by San Diego State University states that, in general, office desks occupied by men are “dirtier” than those occupied by women. Research found between 10-20% more bacteria on men’s desks. According to scholars, this is because men are less hygienic.

7 – Women learn more easily

The University of Georgia, in partnership with Columbia University, found that women learn better than men. According to scientists, we are more attentive, flexible and organized, which helps us to keep our minds more open to new knowledge.

8 – Women survive car accidents more often

As morbid as this may sound, we apparently save ourselves from tragic accidents more often than men. They are 77% more likely to die in a car accident than we are, according to a Carnegie Mellon University study.

9 – Women invest better

No, you did not read it wrong. Although the investment sector is considered essentially male, a study of 100,000 portfolios indicated that female investments have an average return of 18%, against 11% for men. Probably because women take much more care before investing.

10 – Women are getting more attractive

Apparently, women are becoming more beautiful as the years go by. A study that followed nearly 2,000 people over four decades of life showed that attractive women had about 16% more children than attractive men. Good-looking people, moreover, are 36% more likely to have a girl as their firstborn, which means that, with each generation, there are more beautiful women in the world.
