Topic: Arent men in general more likely to take risks compared to women? (Read 167 times)

Probably in the old days or in some rural environments where they consider the women weaker vessels, else, both a man and a woman can share same risk ability in equal ratio.
What men have in strength, women have with emotional intelligence. No one gender biase can alter the fact that the humans we see days are more advanced and capable to handle stress and survive pandemics and  take risk to outer space and back.

the only thing that I know about girls? "They Just Wanna Have Fun" like what Cindy Lopper says 

But Risk is indeed a man's thing but women are also risking their life when giving birth to our children , so he is really the risk taker in life here?

well men and women are both risking in life and that is the reality here.

I do not know any girl I know who is interested in cryptocurrencies or gambling. Maybe they're doing it in secret? I don't know.

You should know that women are more emotional during losses than men because they were created that way, the male gender have the ability to withstand tough stages of life and during an investment, if a man loses though he will still have that human feeling but he will become stronger later and move on but that doesn't implies that women doesn't take risks. Women do take risks even higher risks more than men just that it is only very few women that can do that but in the case of men, a lot of them takes so much risk. It is good to take risk in life because it is what will lead us to succeed in life or to fall and use another strategy to rise again, that is for some one who is determined to succeed.

aren't this kind of topic should not be tackled anymore in our days now? because What I do believe is that our world have changed many years ago when the male and female already have equality though in power physically male is dominant yet we also knew that Women in many aspect can compete and even beat Males .
so with full respect in both Genders i think this must not be in topic.

Maybe because it is the men who commonly earning so who will take the risk , but unfortunately in our days now that Women at some part of the family is making more money than men so by that Women is the risk taker.
I must admit that between me and my wife? she is the one who commonly into risky decision maybe because I am letting here to act such.
I trust her and I believe in her capacity.

World now have changed , yeah in the past were male is dominant and the women stays
in the house taking care of everything  but now? nope sometimes even females are more dominant
that male as some countries has a women presidents so I think in our time now specially in crypto
 investing? maybe female is also risk taker though i only meet some few female that manage to
enters and deal with crypto.

The reason for fewer women in crypto is mostly related to the amount of women in finance and technology at large. Since crypto is an intersection of the two, we can expect how there could be fewer women in crypto.

The reason for less women in finance and technology is not because they are unable to cope up but I think it is related to societal expectations and norms that most women have to deal with all throughout the course of their lives.

Maybe there is some truth in research and studies about a significant difference between men and women regarding risk taking but remember that these statistics only represent a small sample of a population and does not 100% account for the rest of the women. So, obviously there would be some exceptions.

it seems so, because for a long time the majority of men took more risks than women, but that doesn't mean women don't take risks at all, it's just that the majority of women tend to play it safer, so that makes men more inclined when it comes to in taking high risks. you can see how on average jobs that are associated with high risks are taken by the majority of men, this has proven that the majority of men have the natural ability to take high risks in their work.

That is how nature made it. It is the duty of the man to take responsibility of anything that will bring food to the table and gambling and bitcoin Investment is not exempted and that is why women last longer than man. During time of spending at home the woman will like to upfront the man. Her money is her money but thekney of the man is our money. And because of this reason a woman may be earning more than a man but will still allow the man to spend the little he has, and tells him it is your duty to take care of us. But when the man dies the woman take care of the family as if they where waiting for the man's death. and start becoming angry at any slighted provocation from the children.

The world is changing and women should beging to help the man. Because when they become married they are one. Not only one in bed, but also shearing of duties expecially when the woman is having a higher pay. If the woman is allowing her husband to spend higher while he earns a little pay at work, it becomes wickedness to the man. Let the female remove that thinking from there minds and make the world a better place for us.

IMO, we are on the changing era where this kind of argument is no longer a big matter. Whereas what men can do, can be done by women and vice versa.

As for taking risk, I believe it is also biological. If your parents or grandparents or of it runs through your veins that you are investors and risk takers then it can be inherited.

So the question is, why is it so? I believe it is so because a man or let me say majority of men wants to become successful, they want to brake free from poverty, in their head, there are a lot of people they want to impress. It is the dream of so many men to drive in their own car, buy or build their own house, give their child best of education and lifestyle, live life to the fullest, because of all these kinds of thoughts running through a man's head, he will definitely take all kinds of risk that he believes would earn him profit, profitable enough to help him archive other of his dreams.  Some women are career woman, they want to drive expensive cars, have their own company, make their own money, become wealthy even before ending up with any man, while some rich woman doesn't even want to get married to any man because they feel they don't want to be told want to do and what not to do as a married woman, but there are so many woman who doesn't want to take any form of risk, all they want is just to live a normal life, get a job if possible and get married to a man who can take care of them and the family, there are majority of woman who just want things in the normal and natural way, while there are only a few woman who wants things in the extra mile and extra ordinary way. 

Across various culture and religion, societies are nurtured to believe that men should be the stronger one and the "protector". Consequently, it is mentally normal for men to assume this position.  Well, by the body physiology,  this is nothing but the truth even though there will be few exceptions. So, men are expected to be more courageous, hardened and more disposed to tackling daring challenges. This is also evident in.the ratio of male to female ratio in cryptocurrency that is perceived to be risky... so whatever involves risk, expect more men to be involved than women.

Generally speaking, men actually take more risks because women are very cautious creatures. Women do take risk as well but in a different ways. One thing to consider here is the overconfident in men's and willingness to accept loses. This is not only applicable to crypto investment but in other variety of areas but due to individual differences, not everyone fits into this whole generalization.

Talking about crypto investment, we are all aware how market is notoriously volatile and people still find the risk worthy to take. Undoubtedly, men are more engaged in the industry than women but this is not just about gender, it is about our risk tolerance level and financial balance. Moreover, I heard that the part of brain that assess risk is more active in women brain than in men and this make them to be more cautious on anything that involve risk.

Every man is a head from creation, so it is more like a natural gift from nature for men to absorb more risky assertion as when compared to that of the woman .but however in most scenerio case some women has proven to be stroger than some men let us be realistic some have more risk tolerance than some men.

Why we need to discuss about who's more risk taker and who is not? We have different preferences towards this and I don't want to make this question offensive to girls since they have their own level of risk taking. Maybe on some point there are dominant gender that are actually good for taking the risk since they are much adventurous but for respect of girls since its women's month I will not say anything that can contribute for males dominance and their gender will be box then some other people think about that they are more weaker since they are soft. So for me its equal so lets not compare the capability of men and women on this point since they can also do what men can do.

From what I know it's more linked to the fact women's brain tends to get more mature a couple of years earlier than men.
And the result is that at an average, the men have a bigger tendency to take unnecessary risks.
So imho it's not as good as you want to present it

However, after a certain age I think that the numbers even up greatly.

As far as I know, data says that men are more likely to take risks compared to women, not that women don't take any risks at all. Huge difference between the two — so obviously there will still always be women who are into crypto or investing in general who are susceptible to risk.

Naturally men were created to be providers, and that instinct will make them to always take risks inorder to provide for their families, and you earn respect as a man when you're able to provide for and protect your family and dependants. I won't deny the fact that in cryptocurrency that is volatile, it's mainly men that are into it, just like in other areas of income earnings that requires some amount of risk takings, although I'll admit that a few women are now breaking barriers and are also taking risky decisions like men inorder to earn more money.

Oh, my God. OP, stand on the mountain and knock on your chest, shouting that you are a male.
But seriously, shouldn't this logically add up? A man must be strong, courageous, and, as a natural process, be more risk-taking. Do you know why? Because nature has invented the idea that the male gender must go ahead to be a protector.
You are in no way hurting the feelings of women by stating the banal obvious; you just made me laugh. There are alpha males, but unfortunately, there are also those who look around before creating something.
Therefore, there is no need to prove your strength once again; it should be natural and proven not by words but by deeds.

In cryptocurrency generally investing shouldn't be such a big deal as it is advised for a person to invest in what he is willing to lose. Yet, we still consider it as a risk, it's quite funny because if you had disposable money investing it should not be considered a risk but rather a seed. However, I observed that statistically men are more open to taking risks than women. Maybe it has something to do with the biological, psychological, and environmental (society) influence.

I don't mean to be rude to the women here. But i believe there is some truth to the idea, that men, statistically tend to be more risk-taking than women. It is believed that in terms of investment, men exhibit higher risk tolerance which is why we have fewer women investing in cryptocurrency. Although i don't entirely accept the fact, because i have seen potential investors, whales in the crypto space that are women while some choose to lie low but they have enough investment.

What do you think guys?
