10 Things Men Are Better Than Women At

Here at TED we like to be fair. So as we posted up yesterday about all the things women are better at, we thought it only fair to highlight the areas of speciality a man posesses...

#1 – Do It Yourself

Tools – the main item of the male wish list and the reason for ‘tool envy’ the world over. And yes, men are undoubtedly better than women at D.I.Y, just as women are better at applying nail varnish – fact. Even better, it keeps them out of the way too.

#2 – Football

It’s the sport that men live, breathe and dream of. They organise their wedding date around it, and would be in debate whether to miss the birth of their child over. Football is not only our national sport, but definitely a sport men are better at than women. Women are making a valid effort, but the male species reign supreme.

#3 – Drinking Beer

This is down to genetics, but men in general can drink more beer than women – volume as well as getting it down the neck quicker too. This doesn’t mean they can hold their drink better, but their larger frames and male bravado definitely gives them the edge in a drinking competition.

#4 – Running Fast

The general height difference and those longer sprinting legs means men run faster than women. Usain Bolt is undoubtedly a man, and undoubtedly the fastest runner in the world to date, so kinda proves the point. Maybe that’s why men can run away so quick when asked to change a nappy…?

#5 – Playing Computer Games

Men are better than women at computer games, quite possibly as a result of the many hours they manage to dedicate to the pastime. From an early age, when girls are playing with dolls, boys are glued to a screen consisting of a multitude of battle scenes, sports arenas and similar. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Visit Fierce PC for all your gaming needs.

#6 – Growing a Moustache Men are not just better at growing moustaches, but win hands down on the whole bodily hair thing in general. As descendants of the ape family, a man’s ability to grow a beard overnight is truly an amazing achievement. And don’t think women can’t have facial hair so this is an unfair win. Ask the infamous bearded lady next time you see her…

#7 – Having A Cold

It is a well known fact that men win hands down when it comes to milking an illness to its full potential. Indeed, the term ‘man flu’ is based on it. So when it comes to having a cold, men are so much better at taking to their beds for days, aching, not being able to move and having the worst strain going. Of course, this extends beyond the common cold also – sprained ankles, headaches, sickness…..

#8 – Mending Cars

We’ve avoided the which sex makes the better driver debate, and skilfully diverted to the area of car mechanics. Garages the country over are predominantly a male domain, leading to the conclusion that men are better at mending cars. Even at home, men are often tinkering under the bonnet, fine tuning their tuning skills!

#9 – Swearing

Swearing is slowly but surely edging its way into common usage, but it still remains a fact that men have a much higher usage rate than the more gentile female sex. Like machine gun fire, expletives seems to slip off the tongue at an astonishing rate for men, making then the definite victors in this man versus woman battle.

#10 – Fighting

Boxing, drunken brawls, war, playful fisticuffs, men seem to like to engage in a bit of physical action when they get all uptight about something. With a definite height and weight advantage on the female, of course men are physically better in a scrap, but they also defer to it as a way of sorting out a problem, especially when alcohol enters the frame.
