Men are risk-takers by nature. When we feel lost, we take risks, for better or for worse That's why the military still has great recruitment rates. It's also why many of the self-made wealthy are men, and the ones who aren't are often people more like JK Rowling.
Looks like fewer of those risks are paying off than usual.

- rpmisms 7y agoVague generalizations are all the rage nowadays. See "Men are trash". Granted, I should have said "Tend to be risk-takers" or something.
