Some people think that men are naturally more competitive than women. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

The idea of whether

men

or

women

tend to possess certain predispositions to become more competitive is a matter of ongoing debate regarding gender differences. Personally, I am more inclined to believe that

although

there are some

women

who are willing to compete in their personal pursuits, competitiveness is predominantly a male trait. To commence with, it has long been known the traditional image of differences between

men

and

women

. Since prehistoric, our ancestors had to hunt and care for their families in order to survive, which highlighted what differentiates

men

from

women

.Namely,

men

tend to be associated with physical strength while

women

are more sensitive and should be taken care of.

Although

this

image results from gender stereotyping, there are certain professions or sectors which might attract the male audience. It can be seen in the example of sports where the willingness to compete against each other is a natural element and certain sports disciplines which are male-dominated, followed by

a minority

show examples

of their female counterparts. Another line of argument is that

women

tend to be more family-orientated with predispositions to start a family and have offspring

hence

they might see those things as an obstacle to achieving their personal goals.

This

is particularly visible in the workplace.

For example

, some researchers claim that more

women

tend to show their competitive capabilities in order to be promoted before they decide to have offspring,

otherwise

they might no longer be interested due to changes in their priorities. To recapitulate,

although

the willingness to compete is common for both genders,

men

tend to be more focused on competing due to their psychological and genetic predispositions.
