View Full Version : You do the math
I was riding to work yesterday when I observed a female driver, who cut right in front of a pickup truck, causing the driver to drive onto the shoulder to avoid hitting her.
This evidently angered the driver enough that he hung his arm out is window and gave the woman the finger.
" Man, that guy is stupid," I thought to myself. I ALWAYS smile nicely and wave in a sheepish manner whenever a female does anything to me in traffic, and here's why:
I drive 48 miles each way every day to work. That's 96 miles each day. Of these, 16 miles each way is bumper-to-bumper.
Most of the bumper-to-bumper is on an 8 lane highway. There are 7 cars every 40 feet for 32 miles That works out to 982 cars every mile, or 31,424 cars.
Even though the rest of the 32 miles is not bumper-to-bumper, I figure I pass at least another 4000 cars. That brings the number to something like 36,000 cars that I pass every day.
Statistically, females drive half of these. That's 18,000 women drivers!
In any given group of females, 1 in 28 has PMS. That's 642.
According to Cosmopolitan, 70% describe their love life as dissatisfying or unrewarding. That's 449 .
According to the National Institute of Health, 22% of all females have seriously considered suicide or homicide. That's 98.
And 34% describe men as their biggest problem. That's 33.
According to the National Rifle Association, 5% of all females carry weapons and this number is increasing.
That means that EVERY SINGLE DAY, I drive past at least one female that has a lousy love life, thinks men are her biggest problem, has seriously considered suicide or homicide, has PMS, and is armed.
Give her the finger? I don't think so.

Even if the statistics are true, it sounds something like the birthday paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_paradox).

Cosmo sersiously your quoting statics out of a beauty magazine. thats like quoting fishing adivce out of a porn magazine, completely worthless.
i applaud the guy who gave the female driver the finger since she almost caused a accident. just another reason why getting a drivers liscense should be somewhat harder to get will probably weed out the crappy drivers. most of which in my driving experience are female. the accident i got into when i was the passenger was a female, the driver when i got into a accident in slidell was a female, the accident i got into on the military base was a female. notice a commonality i'm not saying that women shouldnt be allowed to drive but like here in cali to get a drivers liscense you have to be atleast 18. luckily i got mine in LA.
Me? Think that much? Hardly not. Content subject too mundane. Just another one of them e-mails I'm always getting.

Ah, so you must have a certain amount of care to be able to care less. Otherwise you could only care more ;).

trix... that's all wrong... if 5% of ALL females carry weapons, this isn't only to those that PMS, etc. so technically, the number would be much larger, but you have to base each percentage off the base number, not the previous one. unless that magazine worded it wrong, of course. have fun :P. btw, i do believe that birthday paradox... cuz i like birthdays.

About 80% of the males in the States are armed and/or carry weapons. The number is probably higher among teens and younger adults living in certain areas.
The homocide rate among men are about triple of the female counterpart.
That however doesn't apply to suicide. Women hold on to that.
Men are genetaically born more aggressive over all, and thanks to testosterone stronger, thicker skinned and more violent.
Fuk giving the finger...
I would have gotten out. Dumb bitch can't drive. :p
