    1. We evolve hotter.

    A recent study revealed that women are getting better looking through evolution; meanwhile, men are staying the same. After following more than 2,000 people through four decades of life, the study showed that attractive women had 16 percent more children than average-looking chicks and that beautiful people are 36 percent more likely to have a daughter as their firstborn. All those gorgeous daughters mean more beautiful women than in past generations.

    2. We survive car accidents more often.

    This is sad but true: Men are 77 percent more likely to die in a car accident than women, according to a study done by Carnegie Mellon University. Our boyfriends should be thanking us when we nag them to "Wear your seatbelt!"

    3. We're better at seeking comfort.

    A Mind survey of 2,000 people revealed that women are far more likely than men to talk through their problems. Fifty-three percent of women talk to their friends about what's stressing them out, as opposed to 29 percent of men.

    4. We're more recession-proof.

    According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 80 percent of those who have lost their jobs since December 2007 have been men. Ouch. This could be because male-dominated fields have been hit the hardest, like manufacturing and finance. That really sucks…but hey, maybe it's time more men became nurses and educators.

    5. We graduate college more often.

    We already know that female enrollment is higher than male, but the Department of Education's statistics reveal that men are also less likely than women to graduate and get their bachelor's degrees. Men are also more likely to take longer than five years to complete their degree.

    6. We eat healthier.

    A survey of more than 14,000 people, conducted by the University of Minnesota, showed that women choose far healthier foods than men. While men are more likely to chow down on frozen pizza and red meat, women are piling fruits and veggies onto their plates. It all sounds pretty obvious, but we get so much grief for our chocolate addictions that we just had to point this one out!

    7. We have stronger immune systems.

    No wonder men act like such babies when they have a sniffle - women really do have stronger immune systems than men! If there are little battles going on in our bodies, women have a secret weapon: estrogen. A study done by McGill University indicated that estrogen gives women an edge when it comes to fighting off infections. That's because estrogen confronts a certain enzyme that often hinders the body's first line of defense against bacteria and viruses.

    8. We live longer.

    Among the world's population of those who are over 100 years old, 85 percent are women, according to the New England Centenarian Study. In general, women continue to live five to 10 years longer than men as well.

    9. We're better managers, especially in this economy.

    This one is a little controversial, but a slew of experts are confident that women make greater bosses because they are better listeners, mentors, problem solvers, and multitaskers than their male counterparts. In a recent Daily News article, management expert Jay Forte said, "It's a very service-oriented economy [right now], so you need employees to be motivated. Women are better connectors than men and more astute about knowing how to activate passion in their employees."

    10. We invest better.

    A study of 100,000 portfolios showed that women's investment returns outperform men's, 18 percent to 11 percent. This could be because women are typically more cautious with their investment decisions and think longer term.

    1、我们进化得更正点了。

    最近的一个研究显示,女人进化后变得更好看了;与此同时,男人却停留不变。经过研究四十年来超过2000个人的生活表明,有魅力的女人比普通长相的少妇多了16%的小孩,并且美丽的女人比普通女人多36%的可能第一胎生女孩。所有这些漂亮的女孩就暗示了,与以前相比,我们会有更多美丽的女人。

    2、我们更可能在车祸中幸存下来。

    这说起来很令人难过,但却是事实:根据卡内基梅隆大学所做的一个研究:在车祸中的死亡率,男人比女人多了77%的可能。当我们不停提醒我们的男朋友"绑好你的安全带!"时,他们应该感谢我们。

    3、我们更擅长于寻求安慰。

    一个有2000人参加的心理测试表明,女人比男人更倾向于向别人倾诉她们的问题。53%的女人会跟她们的朋友谈论她们所遇到的压力,至于男人只有29%.

    4、我们更能预防经济衰退。

    根据劳工统计局的数据,那些从2007年12月就一直失业的有80%是男人。哎呦!这可能是因为男人占主导的领域遭受了最大的打击,比如大生产化和金融领域。这实在是令人不爽……但是,这也可能是一个契机,是更多男人会成为护士和教育工作者的时机。

    5、我们有更多的大学毕业。

    我们已经知道女性入学率比男性更高,但是教育部的统计却揭示了男性跟女性相比,男性更少拿到学士学位。还有,男性还更可能要花比五年更长的时间来完成他们的学业。

    6、我们吃得更健康。

    由美国明尼苏达大学组织14000人参与的一个调查结果显示,女人比男人选择的食物要健康得多。男人更喜欢吃冰冻意大利薄饼和生肉,而女人则选择吃水果和蔬菜。所有这些就很明显了,但是我们为我们对巧克力的上瘾感到悲哀,因此我们必须戒除这一点。

    7、我们有更强的免疫系统。

    难怪男人鼻塞时,他们的行为就像小孩一样--女人真的比男人有着更强的免疫系统!如果我们的身体内存在小战争,女人有秘密武器:雌激素。麦基尔大学所做的一个研究结果表明,当提到预防传染时,雌激素就给女人提供了一个优势。那是因为雌激素会对抗一种特定的酶,这是一种会妨碍身体防御细菌病毒的第一道防线的酶。

    8、我们活得更久。

    根据新英格兰百岁老人的一个研究,在世界人口中超过100岁的人,有85%是女人。并且,总的说来,女人会比男人延续活10年之久。

    9、我们是更好的管理者,尤其在这个经济体系中。

    这一点有些争议,但是很多专家都对女性成为更好的老板很有信心,因为和她们相对应地位的男性对比,她们是更好的倾听者,顾问,问题解决者和多才能者。在最近日报的一篇文章中,管理专家杰伊·福特谈到,"(现在)是一个服务型经济社会,所以你需要激发那些工人有积极性。女性是比男性要好的中间联系人,也更清楚地知道应该怎样激发她们工人的激情。"

    10、我们能更好地投资。

    对10万个投资组合的调查表明,女性的投资回报超过了男性的,大约是18%比11%.这可能是因为女性更谨慎地对待她们的投资决定,考虑更长的时间。
