Femina.

Im a self-confessed believer in the 'power' of a woman. So much so that I even secretly desire an award from the women's association, India.
Women are the better-looking species, have access to pretty make-up (and shoes, and bags, and skirts) .. what's not to love about a woman? Meanwhile, we've always known that women have a good thing going for them, now we've got a science to back it up. In honour of International Women's Day, 25 scientifically proven, research-baked facts prove what we've known all along:


[ 1 ] -- THEY CAN PREDICT A LONG-TERM LOVER JUST BY LOOKING.


[ 2 ] -- THEY ARE BETTER MANAGERS.
'Women get high ratings on exactly those skills needed to succeed in the global Information Age' -Rosabeth Moss Kanter, HARVARD PROFESSOR.


[ 3 ] -- THEY CAN FIND THINGS
. "Women are born with wider peripheral vision; as a nest-defender, a woman has brain software that allows her to receive an arc of at least 45-degree clear vision to each side of her head and above and below her nose"


[ 4 ] -- THEY ARE GOOD AT DRIVING.
"Male drivers have a 77% higher chance of dying in a car accident than a women"--traffic analysis


[ 5 ] -- THEY GET SPECIAL TAX REBATES.


[ 6 ] -- THEY ARE GREAT WITH GOOGLE.
"Women spend 30% less time on the Internet than men/month"


[ 7 ] -- THEY ARE E-MAIL SMARTS.
"Women are more tactful while assigning tasks and attempt to 'bond' with who they are writing to"


[ 8 ] -- THEY MAY GET THE BEST CAR DEALS.
"Women not only quoted a lower initial price, they were also successful at getting a better bargain"


[ 9 ] --THEY ARE BETTER INVESTORS.



[ 10 ] --THEY HAVE GOT A-OKAY BREATH.



[ 11 ] --THEY CAN HANDLE A COLD.
" Heard of man with flu? It means a serious, crippling affliction that comes with loud sniffs, elephantine nose blowing, and the kind of convulsions that make Chinese torture look good. Women's immune systems tend to fight back more vigorously, ensuring that a common cold, well, stays a common cold"



[ 12 ] -- THEY ARE EXPERTS IN TEXT MESSAGING.
"Women understand SMS phone technology much better than men" -Mobile Data Association, UK.



[ 13 ] -- THEY ARE BETTER AT STUDYING.
I completely agree to this. I do not need to refer to any of the universities in the US. I have a personal experience.


[ 14 ] -- THEY KNOW FILTHY WHEN THEY SEE IT.
"Men have a weaker sense of smell and their skin isn't sensitive as a woman's. So guys aren't as likely to notice that they're snoozing on stinky sheets"



[ 15 ] -- THEY OUTLIVE BOYS.



[ 16 ] -- THEY ARE MARVELS AT MULTITASKING.



[ 17 ] -- THEY ARE HUMAN LIE DETECTORS.
Again. I have a personal experience.



[ 18 ] -- THEY ARE THE FUTURE FASTEST RUNNERS.



[ 19 ] -- THEY HOLD THEIR DRINKS WELL.



[ 20 ]-- THEY ARE TAKING OVER HARVARD.
"For the first time in Harvard's history, women outnumber men in gaining admission under the Early Action program"


[ 21 ] -- THEY KNOW WHEN TO ASK FOR DIRECTIONS.


[ 22 ] -- THEY ARE NOT SEX CRAZED.


[ 23 ] -- THEY HANDLE BREAK-UPS BETTER.


[ 24 ] -- THEY DON'T STRESS OVER STATUS.


[ 25 ] -- THEY ARE GREAT WITH WORDS.
"Girls speak faster on average - 250 words/minute"


I, really, don't like to say these filmi dialogues, but as Mr. Shahrukh Khan said in the movie "Chak De!!", which happens to be one of my favorite movies, 'Agar ladkiyan ladkon ko paida kar sakti hai to woh kuch bhi kar sakti hai'.

Three cheers for Mr. SRK !!
Even Mr. Shaggy will agree to this. Remember his song-'Strength of a woman'.


Women really are the smarter/wiser/better species and we know that there's nothing better than being a women. But what if there are some things women can learn from the opposite sex?
