Since you are a woman and women are way smarter, why can't you figure this one out yourself?
Ok, ok, I was just kidding. Come on, put the lamp down, please!! :gasp:
Women, IMO, operate on a more emotional level and quitting really cranks the emotions up. Men, on the other hand, are programmed to win at all costs. A slip or relapse is a failure, so they "bite the bullet" and continue on.
That said, I disagree with you, though. Personally, I feel that women tend to have more successful quits than men, mainly for one reason: they are not too proud to ask for help or to expose what the quit is doing to them so others can support/assist them. Look at the male/female ratio here as an example.
And don't try to compare the men vs women here who have slipped and not slipped. The people who come to this support group are their own demographic. They are not representitive of the world's quit population in general simply because they are reaching out for help. This sets the men here apart from the norm especially.
Just my experiences and thoughts.
