    I definitely agree with women being the most beautiful creation. God created Eve to be a companion and to be pleasing to Adam.

    As far as men being the most intelligent: I think it is evenly distributed. There are both very intelligent men and women, as well as extremely stupid ones.

    I am skeptical of Cookie Monster’s claim that the “actual factual data” show men scoring higher (notice he gives no source for the data), but even if this is true, there are several things to consider:

    1) Most types of tests measure only one dimension of intelligence, and can often be biased against certain categories of people. The issues here are far too complex of a two-sentence answer to be of any value.

    2) Even if you could show that women scored lower on all types of intelligence tests, you would still have to consider the cultural factors working against women. Frankly, most cultures discourage women from being too intelligent – it is simply not valued as highly. From birth, women are bombarded with messages telling them how valuable they will be if they are beautiful, but relatively few messages encouraging them to be highly intelligent.

    3) I also suspect that, just in general, beauty and intelligence tend to be somewhat at odds just because if you are not beautiful, then you often need more intelligence in order to compete with the beautiful people for things like jobs, social status, etc. So if women are more beautiful on average, then they might feel less need to strive for high intelligence.

    Notice that all of these factors are social, not biological. There is, however, one possible biological link to consider: Men tend to be more focused in one brain hemisphere or the other, whereas women tend to be more balanced or “holistic” in terms of brain activity across the hemispheres. I’m not sure whether this is necessarily biological, or influenced by socialization, but in any case this could explain why a larger proportion of men might have genius-level intelligence in specific areas – they attain this level by sacrificing intelligence in other areas. This is probably why they are often quirky social misfits - they lack emotional intelligence, common sense, etc.

    That may have been true hundreds of years ago when women were allowed no education, but I believe that women were still intelligent in other ways, they did raise family's. In modern times women are just as academically intelligent as men, and still more beautiful.

    I don't know who told you that, but you are wrong. I have just as good of a chance at being smart as anyone else in this world. The highest IQ is of a woman. Whats your reply to that? They are men who are good looking as well as women and they're women as intelligent as men.

    Source(s): And to add to this just as the person before me said "most cultures discourage women from being too intelligent" and I agree. I think those men in those cultures are afraid that women will out smart them if they were to get at any level of education. It was women who finally stood up to the men in America itself, because we couldn't get the same education as the men. "Womens Rights"

    Male and female genes, instincts, innate motivations have been cultivated since the days we've been traveling the savanahs of Central Africa....ie, hunter, gatherers, alpha males, need for survival, carryon on the species, and other assorted get rid of pain and increase pleasure hormones.....male and females were just 'wired' differently to deal with their environment...

    As a side note, obsolete genes do not die overnight.

    Source(s): just the facts.

    i wager that is because maximum men have an inclination of organic competition, they merely can not manage someone it fairly is equivalent or more beneficial proper than them professionally, intelectually and mature adequate. as a thanks to influence (because the courting ritual is going), we stumble on the straightforward aims, women who we may be able to actual educate, brag and provoke about being superheroes (no matter if we are no longer). that is truly the competition of being the finest. i know, that is dumb, even if that's a male's organic reaction to being the accurate of each and every thing round him.

    I don't agree .

    Men AND women can be beautiful and smart , at the same time . Your question leans highly on stereotypes .
