Simply put folks..

Wich of the sexes are more prone to frickin craziness, and why?

My opinion says that its clearly women.

Why?

A woman will stab you....becuase she loves you.

I take it you are not familiar with the song "Alles aus Liebe" by the Toten Hosen? It's exactly about the same topic, a man killing a woman and himself because he loves her...

Exactly. Because Die Toten Hosen make music that should be viewed without any irony (especially not while they were in their best days) and always mirror reality.

Well, us guys are pretty easy to figure out. Give us sex, food, beer, a car and some gadgets and we're set for life. We hate all the complicated politics and 'emotional baggage' that women insist on bringing everywhere they go. Women are the most confusing lifeforms on the planet. I often question if we're even the same species sometimes. Definitely the craziest.

I agree wholeheartedly.

Men can be crazy too...but its not usually much in comparison to the average mindset of the fairer sex.

I'm going to say that though I'm crazier than most women, the average woman is crazier than the average man. All said and done, I really don't mind this because the craziness keeps them from being boring, and I do so enjoy their company.

I wouldn't say women are crazy, I'm a guy and personally I think men are crazier, well, depends on what you understand by being crazy. In love and friendship etc. women are... more complicated and yes crazier.

BUT, do you see a woman taking her clothes off and jumping of a bridge because of a bet?(I mean while sober)

See my point?

I think men are crazier, maybe I just don't understand them.

But I do realise that some women seem to have a different language in the sense that they say things that mean one thing, but they really mean another.. But I don't think that's crazy.

I guess I'm just biased.

There was also a time in our history, when there were no omg-huge monuments being built. Apparently that's when women were in charge of small towns and villages and they cared about the people more than making slaves build giant monuments to their rule.

Or at least, so said my (male) Physics teacher.

This whole thing really doesn't work, and for this reason: It all depends on your definition of "crazy." But, in my book, women. Mostly because, well, when a guy says something, odds are he probably means it. Women don't seem to do this too often, and expect men to pick up on obscurly coded subtext as if it were a secret language.

Im thinking its tied into estrogen production.

That might be socialization, though. Women who embrace both "masculine" and "feminine" traits are probably much more sane, because they are choosing to express whatever traits actually reflect themselves. Meanwhile, women who submit completely to the traditional model of femininity are already suffering a mini psychotic break, especially since the traditional model TELLS them to be nuts...they're supposed to be emotional, irrational, helpless, demanding, creatures who absolutely must talk about their feelings during extra innings when the bases are loaded.

Before I go ahead and answer this question, I'd like to point out a trend I've noticed in this thread, namely calling things I don't feel qualify as crazy, crazy.

War, as an example. Going to war is by no means a sign of mental or emotional instability. It can be done for the safety or betterment of the initiating country; for financial, political or geographical gain; for revenge or honour; and no doubt other reasons I'm missing.

None of those, however much you may disagree with them, inherently suggest mental instability. It is simply a different viewpoint, a different set of values. Just because something seems apalling to us, it does not make it universally bad, nor crazy.

The same applies to men doing things that seem stupid, and men's higher tendency to violence. Depending on your values, violence can be entirely justifiable. And while violence can be caused by a mental instability, it would be unfair to refer to violence as a whole that way.

My vote, then, is based on whom I feel has the higher likelihood of exhibiting unexpected, unmotivated or unreasoned (or at least without clear motivation or reason), erratic behaviour. This in turn is based on my personal life experience, which obviously may vary from yours.

With no disrespect to anyone intended, I therefore cast my vote against women.

I'd say women, as that just goes with my theory (Women= Crazy-EVIL, Men=Crazy-Stupid). Women are insane, vile, and maipulative. Straight males are carzy and stupid for the fact that they pursue/trust a sex that is, on the whole, insane, vile, and manipulative.
Gay men, on the other hand, are merely slightly touched and tend toward bitchiness, so they just might be humankind's redemption. At least, they are the deciding factor that makes men saner than women.
