Listen, we all have doubts, even the veterans.  What you have to learn to do is to overcome them and simply keep on doing the good work.


What's that supposed to mean?

It's because some men choose not to conform to the general sense of mediocrity as much as some other men and consequentially just go crazy

By the way am I the only one grossed out by the thought and looks of the tofu belly

Wow, I had no idea what the heck you were talking about...until I finally realized you were discussing the original question (talk about coming out of left field).


Addressing the troll OP is the ultimate thread hijack

Did you ever see Rocky Horror in a theater, Honda?


Yes, but not for a long time.  I had no idea what it was about when I finally saw it either, and when Tim Curry did that first number dancing around I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.  Very much unexpected.

In fact watching that 17 sec clip again, I can't help but laugh... that sax + Curry's bravado is just too funny.

Not sure I'd watch the movie again... lol.  But it was fine the first time.

I heard about this on the radio and just wanted share ;)

Here is a little bit from the article: 

He's Not as Smart as He Thinks

A British researcher reports that the male ego is often larger than his actual IQ. But you might be surprised by what think of men's intellect.

Are men smarter than women? No. But they sure think they are. An analysis of some 30 studies by British researcher Adrian Furnham, a professor of psychology at University College London, shows that men and women are fairly equal overall in terms of IQ. But women, it seems, underestimate their own candlepower (and that of women in general), while men overestimate theirs. Furnham talks to NEWSWEEK's Joan Raymond about his findings and why perceived IQ matters. Excerpts:

NEWSWEEK: Many studies show that men score slightly higher in IQ tests. Is this significant?
Adrian Furnham:
 Universally, men tend to score higher on certain specialized skills, such as spatial awareness. In the real world, that means they might be better at reading maps or navigating. Women score higher in terms of language development and emotional intelligence. But most experts agree there is no real, important overall difference when it comes to gender and intelligence.

But women think they aren't as smart as men? 
That's the conundrum. What I study is "perceived intelligence," essentially how smart people think they are. I analyzed 30 international studies, and what I found was that women, across the world, tend to underplay their intelligence, while men overstate it.

And then you dare to ask why we never ask for directions. We're not really lost, we're just taking a detour - exploring, per se.

Conduct a funded study on this and confirm it beyond all statistical doubt, and then there may be a small chance that we might potentially possibly believe you.
