Why do women have better balance than men?

Question

Details, please?!

Answer 1

because they have dead weights symmetrically placed up front and on their behinds.  the front one has lesser weight but more arm length measured from the ground.  Hence the net moment of front and back equal.

Answer 2

to stop the large breasted and pregnant ones falling over

Answer 3

Same reason men are better at math and science.

We're not the same thing.

We have different strengths and weaknesses.

Answer 4

says who?I have seen male hikers running down rocky terrain with such ease whereas we women had to hold on to the twigs to balance ourselves

Answer 5

How can you prove that? Men do every gymnastic event women do. That is just yet another generalisation.

Answer 6

you know why women are advised to wear high heeled chappal/shoes from age of puberty

it keep them stand straight taking care additional load in bust

Answer 7

They do?  

Okay, maybe I can go with the center-of-gravity argument.  Women tend to be shorter than men and often have a different weight distribution, so their center of gravity is lower.  

I'm 5'9" and my balance is horrible, so that'll work for me at least as far as the height thing goes.

Answer 8

It depends ...

Men can run and carry objects much better than women (spear, football, etc)

Answer 9

@ Super Ruper...

That's not a slight, it's just a fact. Women have a lighter upper body and a heavier lower body. The lower center of gravity is more stable. It's an undeniable difference between the sexes.

Answer 10

They don't everyone is different

Answer 11

it's for the same reason that men are far stronger and far more intelligent

the genders are not the same

west side rip (i think);

men and women don't do the same gymnastic routines

i forget which but there is/are difference/s; maybe to do with parallel/asymmetric bars

Answer 12

Actually, that is a factual statement.  Women have a lower centre of gravity, therefore, much better balance.  That is why you will see women/girls performing gymnastics that are balance oriented, vs. the guys who often perform strength related gymnastics.

Sorry guys - don't mean it as a slight...

Answer 13

Why would it matter ? It's not as if men go about falling over all the time due to problems with their center of gravity and sense of balance...

Answer 14

Balance......let's see, women are the ultimate "multi-taskers" where as men have a one track mind. We women have to worry about everything, because SOMEONE has to!
