There are lots of guys doing huge things very successfully. Bezos just located an Apollo rocket on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. James Cameron has gone from being one of the most successful film directors to being one of the most successful deep divers of all time. These are bold things that were successful. Being a risk taker causes a higher variance in ones endeavors, which implies some spectacular failures, but that also implies occasional spectacular successes.
Don't count yourself out just because of your gender. Tracy is awesome because she's Tracy, not because she's a woman. Actually, just don't count yourself out period, that's silly. You can always improve at things.
- ChrisNorstrom 15y agoI should have emphasized more on the fact that this is what I'm seeing with the men and women that -> I <- know and have met. Those successful men you mentioned obviously have behaviors that I (or anyone in my family) don't have. It's just that in my life I'm seeing more of those behaviors in women than in men. Leading me to feel this way. I shouldn't, I know. It's illogical and I deserve the downvotes for such a loaded, wide, generalizing, polarizing statement, but I can't help but feel this way.
- ericd 15y agoAh ok, gotcha. I personally know a bunch of very successful guys and gals both, so maybe you just need to meet a wider variety of people. I've mostly lived in urban areas (Boston, NYC, Silicon Valley), though, so that probably skews my own sample pretty badly.
