FTA:

- ssanders82 17y agoI have a real problem with them jumping from intelligence to university academic success. When I was in school and had to develop team projects, if everything else was equal I'd go for a girl partner every time. Not that I thought they were any more intelligent on average but very frequently they just cared more. I could see it in their solo work as well - on average they just put in more hours than the guys.
