Studies show that the sperm that produce female offspring (aka girl babies) swim more slowly than the sperm that produce male offspring, but they are also hardier.

This means that "boy sperm" swim fast but die faster and "girl sperm" swim more slowly but last longer.

The "Shettles Method" says that to increase your chances of having a girl, have sex 3 days before you ovulate and to have a boy have sex the day before you ovulate. The theory being that if you have sex earlier, only the "girl sperm" will survive OR if you have sex later, the "boy sperm" will outpace the "girl sperm."

Why do sperm cells need a tail but egg cells don't?

Sperm cells need a tail to swim to the egg for fertilization, as they are motile cells. Egg cells, on the other hand, are non-motile and stationary within the female reproductive system, waiting to be fertilized. This is why sperm cells have evolved to have a tail for movement, while egg cells do not require this adaptation.
