OP has been making borderline creepy comments on women since he came here.  Take a good look through his "friends" list.  Notice anything?

Besides the typical men pretending to be girls?

That's just incidental irony, and although amusing, is not really the point.  

Just because someone enjoys the companionship of the opposite gender does not make them a weird person. As a result of my friendships with females I have been able to better understand, analyze, and interpret their subconscious.

Magnus Carlsen has 3 sisters (1 older, 2 younger). While all the siblings play chess as a hobby, only one is a professional. Coincidence? I think not.

When did we take a leap to the subconscious?

"I enjoy the companionship of women"
"Oh yeah? What activities do you usually like to do?"
"No fatties"
"What?"
"I said I like to interpret their subconscious."

" . . . ok"
"Yeah, and my interpretation is that women have tiny brains."
"Suuure"

Yeah, have Carlsen in a wig stand next to his 3 sisters... you win $100 if you can figure out which one is Magnus.

Stop taking words out of my mouth. I never said several of these things that you claim.

It is not prejudicial to assert that men and women, on average, have different hobbies as a result of different interests or priorities in life. For thousands of years, society (across many cultures) had established that boys would devote their energy and time into building a solid career, while girls were expected to invest their efforts into forging relationships, making connections for social activities, eloping with an appropriate suitor, and caring for children as well as the weak and/or sick. And, while those gender roles are changing, it's a classic question of nature vs nurture.

Ah yes, 1000s of years ago the young boys were preparing for their careers in [checks notes] hunting woolly mammoth.

Sure, males and females are biologically different, and on average will have different interests.
For example, you like collecting a lot of female friends on chess.com, and females like to file for restraining orders against you. Such a beautiful symmetry.

Bobby was living proof that being skilled at chess was enough to attract non-chess playing females wink.png

according to someone my parents talked to (a person who wanted his daughter to play chess) and they said "my girl wants to do other stuff not chess" or smth like that

Judit: "Hey Bobby, I heard that wearing this sun visor can raise your ELO by 50 points. Want to try it out?"

Bobby: "No way, I would look like terrible in that dumb little hat."

Judit: "OK...so are you still offering that knight odds game? How about loser has to buy sushi for my entire family?"

Bobby: "Fine, I'll stick with the dumb hat."

fluffffffff

maybe guys are just louder or its because girls get too much attention and they dont let others know theyre girls
