i nepali To agree/disagree u have to define clearly what do u mean by co-operative and competitive. In genearal case, yes u may be right. Men r competitive, because of "ego" whatever that may mean. But u know what, i have seen a girl (i would refrain from calling her women for the moment) who has more "ego" than any men ik have ever seen. And yes she was kinda competitive. Whatever i say if she thinks i am not agreeing she is in comfrontational mood. Boy u must hav met that gal, it was funny many times later it was kinda going out of hand so i stopped talking to her. She was even getting insulting mood or st. I may not be making sense here. But what i wanted to say wa sthat upto a certain pooint being competitive is very good and healthy more than that ...i think we r digging our own grave.
