okay, so i have no so called "proof" to back myself up but i did say feel free to trash my thread YET nobody realized i said that there might be exceptions and the truth is i was really bored and i thought of this because im really good in math and theres only 1/5 of girls in my honors math course and i havent seen how many are in a regular honors english in my school but ill see once i get back to school in like a week or so, anyways, i still didnt think of looking up anything but i will now and come back to this thread in like 10-30 mins or something to post some facts. btw, please remember that i DID say there were exceptions and that just think or mrpenguinshomeboy's picture but on the flip side. Oh, and also i never said there were NO female mathmaticans or NO male languistics (if thats wat u call them) i just said there were fewer. Now of to the internet!
I have to agree with you fully on this, I think ratinaly (spelling?), I use logic and linearity.
I failed my language arts class because we where doing poetry (I fucking hate you poetry, go die in a whole), it was like, how does the fishes conjunction of the river to the ocean apply to life (a follow up question to a poem). I state that that isnt logical, a fish will live in the river all its life(we WERENT talking about salmon), it may be able to imagine the rivers continuation, but it will never find the vast ocean, nor will it ever imagine it.
I got a 2 hour detention, just because poetry makes NO FUCKING SENCE.
All the girls were like, oh it shows how going from one grade to another is hard, but you will find a open world of new things and knollage, I'm like, WTF, you make no sence.
I hate you poetry, the only poetry that I like are lymerics, because they are awsome, and they usually make some kind of sence.

Its kinda weird, with the shoppig thing. When I go shopping I know what I'm looking for, i find it and maybe take a quick look through out the store if I have any money left.TeragRunner said:
When I see girls shop, they look at EVERYTHING and then get indicisive on weather or not they should get what they came for, or get something they just found. Or go with both and waste a lot of money.
YES!!! I have facts!!! Here is a Time Magazine article: http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1826399,00.html
And here's what one guy said on a guy's comment on the article, who is actually taking the words of someone online, which is pretty much what i am doing now (which you can find here:

This guy refutes the paper:
http://motls.blogspot.com/2008/07/janet-hyde-boys-girls-in-math-not.html
Importantly, he does not deny the accuracy of the authors? statistical findings. Here is the key line:
?Not to be unfair, their paper does mention that in the 99th percentile, they found the boys:girls ratio to be 2.06:1 (and for the 95th percentile, it was 1.45:1). Incidentally, these numbers roughly agree with Figure 2 in La Griffe du Lion?s text about these matters.?
Lets put those numbers into perspective. If you have a 500 person graduating class, with two honors classes of 25 kids each, you might expect from those figures to have 15 boys and 10 girls in each honors class of 25.
So therefore normal math classes should be about 50/50 but honors is slightly tilted to the favor of boys which is what i had in mind at the time, and now that i think of it i shouldve probly made this a poll.

Like several others...
I am absolutely, beyond a doubt, rubbish at math, only pass classes because of a tutor. I am very good at language arts, and though it is far outshined by my aptitude for history, my humanities are way stronger than mathematics and sciences.

You've got to be joking.BudZer said:
Ok, I'll play ball.
Thank you good sir for kindly correcting my single fucking typo. I'm terribly sorry it annoyed you enough that you would be so fucking kind as to ***** about it.
I meant it to say "I'm very good AT language arts and help my girlfriend at the subject..."
Unless you wanted to be an entirely witty fuck, and you were pointing at that I should have said "WITH the subject". Regardless, thanks for being an ass.
Well I'm good at languages and creative skills and I suck at maths and logical things, then again I like musicals and soapy girl tv so what do I know.
That'd be it, I am one of only 3 boys in the top 15 of my class, 100% because most guys dont feel like trying. One of my friends could have a 100 average if he studied an hour every night. Fortunately, us three can still be that high without studyingNew Troll said:
