At work today, a couple of girls were on a palm reading website which asked them to put their hand on the monitor for a 'scan' and they did so without hesitation. When reading their 'reading', they claimed how true it was. :bugeye:
Hmm. Well, the fact is that the captive audience for astrology and related, cough, 'fields of study' is almost exclusively female. Perhaps some of our less stupid, less ignorant female members can tell us why that might be, hmm? My guess is that... But no. I'd rather hear the other theories first.
I think woman enjoy this because it makes them feel as if they're special. All females want that and so do I! I could yap about them being dumb or stuff but I do not wanna get banned :L
Well girls are less intelligent than males according to almost every study done (with both males and females being equally educated)....but people believe in anything these days...there are certain things you can say about anyone and it will be true....
So let me get this straight. You would have been more sanguine about it if they'd gone to a palmist and had a genuine reading done? Because it would have been more accurate? Because they would have spent more money and it would have pumped up the economy? This may be stupid but it's pretty harmless stupidity. The major down side is the spam mailing lists these girls are on now. If you want to bitch about stupidity that actually does harm, why don't you do something about all the people who attend churches and mosques? Every couple of generations, regular as clockwork, Christians and/or Muslims do their best to destroy civilization. Now that is some stupidity that is worth bitching about. And there are a whole lot of men in those places of "worship." And nearly all of the Christians and Muslims who find in their "faith" a motivation for mass murder are men. When women get stupid it's usually just silly. When men get stupid it's often lethal.
Yeah, that's actually typical of many mammals, not just humans. But yeah, men's brains are about 10% larger than women's. Not insignificant. I remember reading an interesting article about it. It's mainly because male mammals often are forced to leave their developmental environment. Larger brains are needed for navigation. Or it could be that males are just larger in general. However, I'm doubtful that's enough of an explanation.
Yea women are way into dumb shit like this. However... I think women have a slight psychic ability. My mother for instance, knew I had diabetes before I was even diagnosed. She always knows when I lie etc. And my GF... Man she could can take one look at me tell me what's going wrong with me. This doesn't prove their phsycic but women definately tap into the 6th sense every once in a while IMO.
Hey fraggs , you ever been , honestly, in a rough down to the shits point in your life with anything and hoped to god or "prayed" that it would get better or not be? Like most, i think you only find your true beliefs when your reaching the bottom. But maybe not for you ?
just remember the point in your life when you believed this stuff and trust me everyones had it even if you've got to go back to your childhood, so what's changed since then?
