What is it that makes a man do dumb things? Not the dumb things that he doesn't know are dumb, those things that he is not aware of, but the ones that he knows full well aren't the smart thing to do to begin with?
Now I know that it is the same thing with you ladies, but you are far less apt to do something that you know is the wrong choice. Why that is, comes from a lot of places, and for a lot of reasons, but certainly some comes from our genes, men like to take risks! To prove something to themselves, to preen for the ladies, all of which is fine, but the stupidity comes when the things they choose to challenge themselves with are not good choices.
Surely, it is one of the most powerful traits that a man has, when used as motivation for the right reasons, and it is inherit in our genetic make up, the need to challenge ourselves! But this trait is not uniquely masculine, as women too have this desire, it's just that women are far less apt to do dumb things, especially if they are dangerous, women have more common sense then do men. These traits are part of our human gnome. Not to say that women too don't make a lot of stupid choices, they do! But they are far less apt to do something that they know is dangerous, that is the common sense that I am talking about. The reason for this disparity between men and women comes from from another natural state, the need to nurture, and if you are nurturing by design, you are far more protective of yourself, and also of the ones you love. But these common differences between men and women, is a natural state, but it is not unique to the human species, as it is the same in most of the animal kingdom. The good news from the female point of view, is that you are right about us, men do a lot of stupid things!
