Arrogance and complaining were the only ones that wouldn't move if i made the list several hundred times... the rest i am probably less certain about thier places

Well im not even completely sure about the complaining one (as in im only aboutn 85% sure), but arrogance is far more a male vice than a female vice, maybe you could explain it to us fools....

What sort of test is this? All people of either gender can be any of those, so I'd put them all in the middle if that is an option. I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to seperate them into gender groups.

(Yes, these traits apply better to individuals than to sexes, but (for example) when I think of arrogant not a single female comes to mind. Similarly I can't think of any prudish males in my circle. Plus this sort of psychobabble is much more fun when you just play along.)

What the hell is with y'all saying guys are more sly? No way. A guy being sly is the equivalent of a girl being normal.

I've noticed most here attribute 'complaining' to females.

Culturally men who complain tend to be worse off than women who complain maybe?I've noticed most here attribute 'complaining' to females.
I don't think I could reasonably put them in any sort of order. I tried to when you first opened the thread, but I ended up not feeling strongly about at least eight of them.
Most people seem to think naive would be girlish. I strongly doubt that... men are far mor naive imo.

i liked martoks discovery 
and little grizzys, the ones to point out were pointed out by most people :) this survey was done worldwide with 300 words, me only picking 10 because i couldnt see anyone doing that many!
the results were that the more negative ones were for the sexes
i.e: male arrogant, women: complaining, and the majority of people thought the postive belongs to both, overall though the women were seen more positively though not necessarily a good thing, though these are mostly stereotypes from our own experiences, no one person, as someone mentioned can be branded under one category, a man can act like a woman, this is his gender, though biologically they are of the male sex
there is no wrong or right answer to this question, though the majority of you said what was said when this experiment was first carried out.... in the 1930's so the main thing to take away from this is attitudes to certain behaviors probably haven't changed much since the 80 years or so of this experiments first use!

Experiment 2:
how many legs does phanpy have?
how many legs does phanpy have?
He has 4 legs...the real question is how many feet does he have?
edit: I propose we carry out a version of the stanford prison experiment and confine 7 orgah's to a single thread while giving another 3 orgah's unlimited mod powers in that thread.

phanpy's special and he wants you to count his legs for him! (sorry if i'm treating you similarly to a 4 year old )Sorry, edited in my answer.
Only one leg is complete and attached, as opposed to implied.
Edit:
Everything else would then belong to itself.
