Whoa people. Let's not get nasty. I think that there are some great examples from both sexes of real intellect. Not all men think that they're smarter. I have had some real good discussions with women and I feel that there are some very brilliant female minds out there. Those men who "think" that they are should put their money where their mouths are!! I would bet on most women. I consider myself smart, however, I am sure that there's a women somewhere who's smarter. I won't make her feel bad that she is however. And I, will never gloat like a jack***!!!!

Because, we as women allow it.
The question is a very broad generalization. Not all men think they are smarter than women, and not all women think they are smarter than men.
There are areas of expertise that each gender has to offer. Most men are not as emotional as women and therefore tend to be more analytical about a situation or crisis; whereas women being the more emotional of the genders will go with her heart more often than not, even when her brain is giving her an entirely different set of facts upon which to base a decision.
Best case scenario is to allow each to draw upon their own strengths and make decision appropriate for a situation.

Why women always think they are smarter than men?

Probably for the same reason women always think they are smarter than men. Each gender values their own superior areas more than the other's superior areas.

Because its an ego thing. If a woman beats them up they are forever emasculated. If a woman is smarter than them then they are proven to be less of a man. Men want to feel like they are good for something other than sex. lol.

A man`s brain may weigh more than a woman`s, but the female brain has more connections between the left and the right hemisphere. That enables us (women) to do several tasks at the same time, and it would somehow explain the so called "feminine intuition", we are far more perceptive than men.

Emotions are the equivalent to an erect penis. Thankfully, men don't carry erect penises everywhere they go. Women's emotions follow them everywhere. Therefore, historically, men are more stable decision makers. That's probably where the stereotype comes from. But don't get me wrong, I know a slew of women who handle their business. It's just that the more traditional the woman, typically, the more of a emotional mess she potentially can be.

Easy I am smarter than you. That's my ego talking. Sometimes ego of men and reality are the same.

We don't think of it as being smarter--just as being logical and sticking to facts, leaving emotions out of the picture.
