The discussion centers around a controversial argument claiming that men, referred to as "the superiors," are inherently better than women, dubbed "the inferiors," based on bathroom habits and efficiency. The original poster asserts that men take less time in the bathroom for essential activities, while women are criticized for spending excessive time on makeup and other tasks. Participants engage in banter about the differences in bathroom usage, with some humorously suggesting that women multitask better. The conversation also touches on the design of bathrooms and the perceived cleanliness issues related to toilet seat usage. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, stereotypes, and exaggerated claims about gender differences in behavior.

Men are better at backing into parking spaces than women: Measurement of Naturalistic
Backing Behavior[/url]

Likewise male drivers had statistically faster maximum backing speeds on two of the tasks when compared to female drivers. Like the young and the elderly the males and females did not have statistically different minimum TTC values. It appears that male drivers were able drive faster, but not incur any more risk as measured by TTC.

Interestingly, there's a big difference between how young people and old people back into a parking space, as well. Contemplating a fine looking and appealing shifter seems to bring inner peace to old people.

It also appeared that the elderly were looking in less appropriate directions (at the shifter 9.4% and forward 10.9%) far more often than the young (shifter = 1.1% and forward = 3.3%) at the start of the backing sequence. If the start of the backing is a time of higher danger of pedestrian accidents (as seems likely) then the elderly may be more likely to have accidents during this period since their attention is not focused on the direction of the vehicle. In these situations a backing warning system would be potentially beneficial especially for the elderly.

I will present now a case for why men, whom shall henceforth be known as "the superiors", are better than women, whom shall be known as "the inferiors". The superiors are greater than the inferiors because they use the bathroom for #1, #2, and taking a shower. And each takes less than 10 minutes.

*waits for the bathroom to clear out*

Especially when the inferiors are stupid little girls who are probably just running around in circles in the bathroom when I need to go to the bathroom.

GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM ALREADY!

First of all, what women do in the bathroom is essentially magic. They take a beautiful thing... apply ugly powders and goops and some how make it all look even better. I think that earns them some extra time in the shower. Besides, most girls have longer hair than guys, I can only imagine it must be complicated to wash it all. I have a hard time cleaning a plate, let alone 16" of silky hair.

In my experience beautiful ones don't need a paint. But if you exchange "beautiful" with "ugly" in what you wrote, you are right - there is some magic involved.

I'm a bloke and therefore lazy. Hair gets washed once a week because I hate damp hair on my back and neck. It tends to look better when greasy though. :biggrin:

Yes its complicated.

Probably as complicated as it is with me. I have long (14"+) hair, and I rinse/comb my hair daily in hot water, which serves to rinse most of the crud, but not all of whatever eminates from my pores to provide nutrients and substinence to my hair. I hit it with conditioners once a week, but I'm beginning to think whatever my own body produces to help my hair has gone through a million years of evolotion, at least, and is probably far better than anything I might find in any "beauty" store, even if that's the isles of Wal-Mart

My hair looks best when all I've done is given it a hot rinse in the shower for more than a week. Only then has my mom commented on my curls, the color thereof, etc...

Just wish someone my own age would appreciate the same.

OMG! This thread is just getting depressing (and self defeating).

On the other hand, if we're going to discuss hair syles, I've gotten pretty good results with Clairol Natural Instincts #13. It looks very natural. The fact that some of the grey on the sides refuses to color helps a little bit, I think. It has a mature, but not old, look.

Lol, BobG, "the grey is today what tomorrow will bring."

My grey does indeed lend legitimacy to my words when I speak in public. Sort of a "been there, done that" issue.

What's your point? That a woman wouldn't have been so coldhearted as to toss that guy out into a record breaking cold spell with so few clothes?

If so, then I'd say that's 2 points for the men.

Women are the reason the really good merry go rounds are gone - the one's with a 30 foot diameter comprised of nothing but some spokes and a bench; the one's where half the boys could climb towards the center of the merry go round, reducing the moment of inertia to the point the kids on the benches were traveling around at 50mph clutching to the merry go round for dear life with an expression of sheer terror permanently frozen on their faces thanks to conservation of angular momentum. In other words, a world where you knew physics and made sure you were one of the ones climbing to the center or you died.

Thanks to women outlawing "unsafe" playground equipment, even the dumb kids survive today.

The extent to which I find intelligent women to be attractive seems to be an increasing function of time.

My ex would have killed me if I'd forgotten to put it up before I did my own brand of business. Whether I left it up or not, she really didn't care after the first month of marriage, as she learned to check. I tried to remember to put it down, but just as girls living with girls learn to leave it down all the time, guys living with guys learn to leave it up all the time.

Toilet seats and X's hold a special place in my heart.

So the X came over to my newly acquired bachelor pad to work one of her cons, then needed to use the pisser. As yours, mine was a self righteous ____, and knew that the toilet-seat-down-default-setting to be a self evident and indisputable law of nature. I told the battle axe to put the seat up when she was finished. The sight of shiny porcelain toilet bowl top still lifts my spirits.

So, So True. Men just don't enjoy the scandal like women do.

Out loud laughter for that one.
