Men Have More Personality
Nothing really new here... I think everyone always knew this, but I just love to see it in print from academia!
Studies suggest males have more personality

...and let's not overlook what the article is saying...that women's personalities
are just less predictable whereas males are more predictable with aggression and risk-taking...especially, according to Darwin, when competing for a mate to the point that physical traits have evolved such as peacock feathers they can strut and oversized antler horns they can butt.....silly men.

Yeah, they've done studies on differences between men and women when it comes to risk-taking when buying and selling stocks. From what I remember, it was quite embarrassing. Men are more emotional than most would be willing to admit.

Basically, that article says that men have more pronounced personalities because women are choosier when it comes to picking a mate. Sorry guys.. I don't think that article gives you any bragging rights. Although your personalities are more predictable, we are ultimately controlling them.

Of course we have more personality, don't we Donald?
Indubitably, Reginald, we do! Well said. -- (men have more a innate nature to compartmentalize their supposed "disorder" of multiple personalities, aka, facets of our wonderful well-being to be so diversified).

Well, we aren't controlling in a direct sense. Man wants pussy so he does what he has too. We just reap the benefits of that.
