they have more muscles than a women phisically, but mentally sometimes, not always, women can be stronger.  No offense in tended at all!

Given the fact that women usually have higher metabolic rates than men therefore, women usually have a slightly higher pulse rate than men.\n\nKeep in mind that there are many other factors that have a much more significant impact on pulse rate than gender.

It is likely because average height has increased over time, and feet grow proportionately to height. For instance, 20-29 year-old males were on average 68.9 inches and females 63.7 inches in 1960-62, but in 1999-2002, 69.6 inches and 64.1 inches respectively. It seems like a small difference, but that's a pretty large shift for a mere 40 years.

I don't see how a man is as you describe: psychologically..women can think just as fast as men and we use more of the brain both right and left hemispheres than do men. However...If you mean physiological, like body strength? Men do have the potential for more muscle mass than women, simply because that's the design of the male body, however there are female body builders and women can be strong and fast also!

No. On average guys are 80% larger than their female counterparts and are proportionately stronger.

Being an athlete does not usually delay physical ^ sexual maturity.  \n\nThe one exception is in young girl athletes who work out so much that their bodies are too skinny, it delays their periods & maturity.

Since guys are typically taller than women, if you come across a guy and girl of the same height, the guy is likely "petite" in both height and weight.  Add to that the fact that women are curvier and naturally carry more fat, and it  may appear (and be true) that the girl is bigger than the guy.

Nothing, really.  The only difference between a male and a female is that males have more testosterone, which can go to their head real fast.

ego. men has to be taller than women.. or so the society dictates. i doubt if all tall men preffer small women, most tall men i know preffer SMALLER women but not small women.

Shortly because male people have more muscular mass and consequentially during the exercise the muscles gain more and quickly

men has more muscle mass than women, in general...  then of cuz, there r some women better than men, but if we take the best man in the world and the best woman and play the same sport, i would think that man is better.  it's just becuz how our body is made, doesn't mean that women r not good.\n\nbut then certain sport looks nicer on women, like gymnastic.  so does that mean women r better then?  =P

It's a design feature, but it's not like one of the Laws of Physics. It's just a tendency, like men being taller than women *on average*. Men are more likely not to see an inherent conflict in loving more than one woman at the same time.\n\nI think that trying to second guess or mind-read the opposite gender is a losing game. Just accept that men and women are different and leave it at that.\n\n(BTW, it didn't even occur to me that you might be talking about a 3-some until I started reading the other answers after I posted mine. I was talking about actual love and not sex.)

No, that's not true at all. Take a good look at celebrities and you'll see some very short men with average or taller women. It's extremely common. Exuding self-confidence and a sense of humor is FAR more important than height. (...and...everything is JUST the right fit when you're a bit shorter, too...)

The difference is most likely in the heel.  A long distance shoe will have a harder heel, almost like a regular sneaker, because a distance runner will land on his heel.  Sprint spikes are almost like thick socks in the heel since sprinters don't ever step on their heel.  Sprint spikes are a little bit lighter also.  For long jump, a true sprinting spike might not be very comfortable since you will step on your heel during your takeoff.  There are several multi-purpose spikes out there that are pretty light weight but also have some hardness on the heel.  The distance ones will probably work, but they will be a little heavier, especially in the heel, where a sprinter doesn't need it.

I'd say combine an olympic sprinter with an olympic weightlifter. You'd end up with some 350 pound monster who could run a a 4 second 40 yard dash.
