Don't worry too much about my ego. It's right where it should be. (at the "accurate self assessment level")
Also, I wasn't born with a special capacity for chess. I was above average when I started, but I became strong via playing for about twenty years against a wide range of opponents and time controls.
To answer your final question.
Some males lose to you because you are stronger than them.
As I have said over and over again, some females are better than some males. This is a discussion about why men dominate in chess. Not whether all men are better than all women which is absurd. There are plenty of strong female players who would crush most serious male players.
If this is a discussion about why men dominate chess, then it could have easily been eradicated by saying that more men are interested in chess than women. I have no idea why you would not say this to begin with instead of saying that "men are mentally better" at chess? They are not "mentally better" at chess. Each 'individual' claims his or hers spot in the ratings by effort, not by biology, neurology, nor anatomy.
I appreciate you trying to at least formulate a sane response. But you're continuing to miss the point.
An individual can be good or bad at chess. But their genetic predisposition towards different activities can influence how far they go. Or at least how easy it is for them to go as far as they could. Or at least what they're interested in pursuing.
And we're not talking about individuals, we're talking about the genders as a whole.
So your mistakes are two fold:
1: repeatedly interpreting my gender-wide statements as pertaining to every individual (this is a fallacy)
2: assuming there is no genetic component to skill or aptitude or general interest
But again, I appreciate that you're trying.
I appreciate that you spend time out of the hospital to address me:) Your understanding is cute. You know, like penguins. Bringing up genetics of course refers to individuality, since we are all genetically unique(save for twins). If you have a twin, then I assume I will have to address two errors in thought. But let's just make it simple for you. If I win a man at chess, in fact if any woman wins a man at chess, then the game of chess is open to both sexes. There is no natural aptitude pertaining to chess. It's a difficult game requiring effort where no woman nor man can rely upon genetic misunderstandings which you so readily embrace.
I would demolish you, for instance. Your rating is higher than mine but I just began playing on this site and will probalby be rated in the 2200-2400 range when my rating stabilizes (post-provisional)
About 120 blitz games for about 2000 rating. Average opponent about 1600
About 40 standard games for about 1600 rating. Average opponent about 1400.
I'm inclined to bet against that proposition
I was looking at the second proposition. I don't know how you would go against any particular player
But I wouldn't back myself against you
