This article seems like it belongs on some sleazy askmen.com type of site rather than the WSJ. There are a number of things wrong with the logic here. These are sweeping generalizations that in my experience don't come close to reality. If there is any truth to this, I could see it only existing in select situations as described in the article like poker night or going to a football game with a group of men. People behave differently in groups than they do in one on one situations. Also, as raju mentioned, I'm sure that a good amount of this is cultural. Even within western culture there are vastly differing cultural groups. Generalizations like this simply don't work, and I think it's harmful to entertain "stories" like this.
