Women are terrible at taking advantage of opportunities

[Bokanovsky]

This is why there are so few successful female entrepreneurs and women in leadership roles. It's not because of sexism. It's because a typical woman wouldn't know what to do with a good opportunity if it smacked her in the face.

Inability to take advantage of good opportunities is also the reason why so many good looking women are either single or end up in a series of failed relationships with deadbeats, junkies, criminals and various other lowlives. In today's sex-obsessed society, being a hot woman is the ultimate superpower. It can open so many doors and yet very few women do anything with it besides getting free drinks. I've always found this fascinating.

I think OP is talking about 2 separate issues here, it's expected they operate on feels when it comes to sex/romance. When it comes to business they're generally used to having things handed to them more so than men and haven't developed the drive to go the extra mile when being analytical. They don't work their brains quite as hard as men do overall in the business world, and when they do rack their brains they don't have the mental muscle built up from years of practice. Generally speaking, of course.

Bro, what? Women 'love' opportunistically, as well as doing pretty much everything else opportunistically.

They just suck at taking accountability/responsibility for things, so they avoid it. This is a terrible trait to have as an entrepreneur as you literally cannot do this without being responsible and taking risks.

You are basically restarting my point in a different way. There's a difference between being opportunistic and knowing how to take full advantage of a good opportunity. Purse snatchers and shoplifters are good at acting opportunistically. But give one of them a million dollars and ask him to invest it and he wouldn't know what to do.

^THIS.

I used to have this argument with my ex-wife so much. This topic with her made me furious. She would make comments on how it wasn't fair that I made over 100k and she made 30k. She made comments that I was "lucky" and downplayed my hard work as far down as she could. I would remind her that there was no LUCK to it. When she was drinking and partying in the 1990s, I was going to college and working and putting in 18-20 hour days. When she was still drinking and partying in the 2000s, I was studying for work certifications (I.T) and then starting a second career field from scratch (law enforcement). When she would sit on her phone doing useless sh|t 4-5 hours a night when we were together, I was watching Youtube videos about productive topics like the stock market or cybercrimes. She never went that extra mile in anything she did. She even got a free ride to community college when were together. 100% free. She did ONE semester and dropped out and said it was "too much work". And how she is 50, making $16/hr, has NO retirement, and sitting and whining that her lack of success is everyone else's fault but hers.

I think this applies to most people in general not just women.

Some are, some aren't. Could say the same about men too.

Generalizations usually don't hold true about the global population.
