women vs men

HI. I have a question. Are women getting faster tahn men? Are they getting stronger and more muscular legs than men?
I think they are superior phisically than men.
What do you think? The gender gap is short now?
Are they getting bigger feet?
Thanks!!

Re: women vs men
You see, women are actually already the more evolved of our species; it's in the Bible. Whenever God created something, the next thing He did was better; Day and Night, Heaven and Earth, Oceans and Sky, Birds and Beasts and Fishes, etc. until He created Man. Then he took a moment and created Man 2.0 - the upgrade which is now called Woman.

Frank Zappa interlude - "In the beginning God made 'the light.' Shortly thereafter God made three big mistakes. The first mistake was called MAN, the second mistake was called WO-MAN, and the third mistake was the invention of THE POODLE.

Now women are a superior model to men because of one great thing ... symmetry. They don't have any odd appendage that seems to just be stuck on as an afterthought. All exterior features are paired up nicely left to right, and for every graceful curve to the front, there is a corresponding arc in the rear.

The symmetry extends down to the genetic level in the XX chromosome pairing.

Being the more highly evolved creature is what gets the female human (ovo sapien???) into trouble. As in every popular science fiction story of the 50's and 60's, what do all alien visitors form more advanced civilizations have in common??? ... That's right - telepathy!!! Our women have it, but they can't yet control it. They hear other women's thoughts all the time, which is why arguments can erupt anytime two or more are in the same room.

Face it, as more and women take higher and higher offices of power around the world; as a Lesbian Agenda becomes a status quo; as cloning becomes as routine as a trip to the supermarket; we will be relegated to the station of pets (at worst - or sex toys, at best) reserved only for the very wealthy.

So basically, you're saying this skirt makes my arc look big.

No. You called the front one "graceful".

The back one, you called "corresponding".

Will you accept "correspondingly graceful?"

Since it clearly describes your spirit, yes, gratefully.

Muscles are undeniably useful in sports.

Re: women vs men
i read somewhere once that women are more concerned about their health in general and that this makes biological sense because they are the baby-machines. are there more and more women out there working out than men now adays? id be curious to know...as for women getting faster than men? no way. we have not adapted that much yet. men are still built of more muscle. i'm no scientist, but every top guy in my varsity crosscountry team, regardless of build, was pretty much faster than all the top girls. i do think girls are getting bigger though.....but then again, so are men....cos this generation is taller than previous....

Re: women vs men
Women, as a general rule can only develop 75% - 80% the muscle of men. - Physiology of Fitness

Women, don't have 30 times less the amount of the steroid hormone testosterone, which limits the amount of muscle they can build.

However, thanks to the reduced amount of this hormone they have, it prevents them from looking muscular, and building "six packs".

Re: women vs men
I don't know too much about this, but I do watch marathons on the tv and I find that no top woman runners has ever beaten a top male runner, and I read tho that woman's times are getting better faster than men's times, but probably due to better training, and more interest by those who are genetically well endowed.

But still I don't think elite woman will ever beat an elite man. When on equal terms in regard to training, health status and such.
