Boys are better chess players than girls

Sheesh man, what's your point? Yes of course guys are usually better than girls, but it doesnt really have to do with who is smarter or able to think in a certain way. It's about whether you have 1. Crazy Talent and/or 2. Years of hard work (Talent is usually able to offset some work, but any talented individual still has to work hard. (which I suggest you clock in before you go to a nursing home to troll some more over here). 
The main reasons why girls don't play as well are: 
1. Girls, in my experience, don't find the game very interesting. 
2. Historically, chess was the king's sport. It was basically a symbol of male intellect. While people like Judit Polgar have made headway in breaking this stigma, it's still prevalent. 
Also, to all of you feeling happy that u are a boy and are better at chess than a girl, it doesnt really matter. What matters is that at a competitive level, most of you are trashy at best.

I agree that most men who complain about the women at the very top are not themselves capable of competing with those women who study 6 hours per day, both talented and dedicated far beyond what those who criticize them would ever be capable of. Rather than being discouragements, let them encourage you into the best that you can deliver, in whatever field you endeavor to succeed in, because they have, but this also entails perseverance to maximize your potential, great indeed in all cases.

I don't care if people believe me, but I offer observations based on experience which people can take or leave.

To the person who made this thread, I'm double your rating

I don't think any gender is superior. The forum you made is inaccurate and one-sided. l do not agree with you and l think both genders are good in chess.

Bro what is wrong with you/ all the girls r perfect, and in my opinion better than boys. all the girls here have higher rating than u do, and any girl here would agree w me. and anyone who actually has the guts 2 stand up to the idiot is my bestie!

People have already researched this topic many times before using actual sciency stuff. Some example links:
A normal-english analysis from 2023

A more hardcore-sciency paper from 2008

Both conclude that if you look at the numbers, the gender gap in chess skills can almost entirely be explained by participation rates. The 2023 paper even calculates that in 92% of the countries in the world, the gender gap can be explained in its entirity by the fact that more males play chess than female.
TLDR: If group A has 100 chess players, and group B has 1000 chess players, odds are that the top 3 chess players will all be in group B. That's the reason for the gender gap in chess, according to the data.

You may not be much good but some other females are strong chess players.

Actually it's the other way round to last sentence, first clause. At least for IQ and possibly for other measures, it's males that have the higher variance.

And this is why there are more male wingsuit flyers and free solo climbers.

they are differences, especially involving sub domains like spatio temporal intelligence. What you are saying that is true is that roughly on average , women and men have the same average IQ.

can and does are two different things. the pattern of top level chess follows the pattern of IQ distribution, namely that the closer you get to the top 0.01% percentile, the faster women drop off the picture entirely. This follows the well accepted theory that men are the gender with more outliers on both ends of the distribution curve.

look at the top 100 players at any given moment. women make up about 11% of tournament players in FIDE, and 13% in the USCF, yet the top 100 players usually have 0-3 women on the list at any given moment. Representation alone does not account for this. Also the fact that there has only been one female player to crack the 2700 barrier is telling.

And this pattern repeats over and over in many fields not just chess despite other said fields actually have positive pressure to hire for diversity purposes.

Participation rates do not explain the whole story. They are far more female players know than in the past yet none come close to what judith polgar achieved.

those who say chess is a game rather than a sport will always be confounded by this one.

What a boring and insular set of women (not to mention your community in general) you must have grown up with to apply this brush to all women.

It would've been okay 15 yrs ago, but you'll get canceled for this statement in 2025

just remember in some cultures women are not even equal access to all the tools boys have -- but here on chess.com anybody can access anything and be as good as anyone else -- like said above its a numbers thing when as many girls play chess than boys -- the tables will then be equal and they will be as good as us -- with tons of gms and all coming sooner than you think -- its a time thing and a equal balance of water
