I understand the general concept that girls think emotionally first and then re-evaluate the situation later logically, but, what is real life application of this? Mystery says dont argue or try to convince on a purely logical level-- well, so if a girl and I are talking about whatever.. how do i not "be logical and be more emotional"? Any examples??

hey ASSHOLE. Mystery says that u cant TRUST your emotions, which i agree. Emotions are too impatient. Dont trust emotion, trust instinct. Now when having conversation, fine, when u talk to a girl u should then use emotion and express your ideas and routines to DHV.

ok "king".. oh brother

Let's use an example instead of batting this around abstractly.

Round 1

Her: The moon is made of cheese.
You: No it isn't

You lose.

========
Round 2

Her: The moon is made of cheese.
You: I feel so connected to the universe when I gaze up at the moon. I mean, humans have actually gone up there, but think of all the places we haven't been. Let's go outside and look at the stars.

You win.

hmm.. ok snubby that makes sense. Thanks. So basically instead of being "bone dry", just be more open minded about the situation..?

exactly. . .

I had a HB 7.5 who used to do beauty pageants and was riled up about the whole Donald Trump - Rosie O Donell fued about that slutty pagenat winner (if u dont remember it google) anyway she had a definite opinion that that girl should have been dethroned blah blah blah . . . I didnt agree but instead of sayin that I said "They both make good points I can see her side of it but I understand wat yer saying too blah blah"

Not so much open minded. You aren't going to lie about your opinion, and you aren't going to agree to something stupid. You are choosing an emotional response rather than a logical response. the logical response will lead to an argument. The emotional response will lead to connecting more, finding more things in common and more things to talk about.

Then, after you've married her, you can email her an article you really enjoyed that just happens to mention that the moon is not made of cheese.

The idea is not to give in, it's to avoid foolish bickering.

This question wasted five seconds of my time.

You're the asshole dumbass. That is exactly what he said. When talking to a woman, you want to use more emotional connective words and descriptions than logical and factual, because their brains work more out of the left hemisphere and are more emotionally chained than logically.

Example of logic/factual: The couch I want to get has 3 cushions and is burgundy.

Example of emotional: I've been thinking about getting this couch from [insert store]. Its this deep burgondy, kinda like the colour of dried blood, made from really soft material, like how fleece feels and its nice because I can stretch right out on it with my head on one end and my feet don't even reach the other end.

Its just descriptive and gives things that a person can visualize better really. But you can do that with most things you would say.

By the way, this goes to a fundamental difference in the way most men and most women communicate. Men enjoy a little verbal jousting. Women want everyone to get along. Just look at this thread as an example. Your very first reply you already have some guy calling you names and arguing. Can you imagine a woman coming into this discussion and doing that?

Listen to women talking to each other. Try not to fall asleep. They avoid conflict and argument. The easiest way to do this is choose emotional rather than logical paths of discussion.

This is a generalization, true most of the time, not all the time.

rockalover, Rye Lee is on the money.

While I haven't figured women out, one thing that these examples demonstrate is that men are far more logical than women. At the same time, men are far more likely to engage in risky behavior.

Women let their feelings and emotions guide their decision making process; logic takes a back seat. I think men use logic first and that often overrides our instincts.

For example, think about people living in the wilderness thousands of years ago. It's a well known fact that men were the hunters and women were the nurturers. Men are predisposed to hunt BECAUSE of their logic and instinct since hunting requires strategy and timing (aka instinct). Women, on the other hand, let their emotions get the best of them, making them less-than-ideal hunters.

As we have advanced, I think men's logic has grown while instinct has taken a diminished role.

Even today, which sex is FAR more likely to behave in a risky manor? Yep, us guys. That's why you don't see a female on Jackass, many female CEOs, or many female politicians for that matter. I'm not saying they COULDN'T do as good of a job... they just do it very differently.

I'm not sure where I was going with this, so at very least, it's food for thought.
