There is a big difference between saying women are more emotional, and saying that they operate mostly from emotion. Just like saying men are more aggressive than women, that does not equal that men act mostly off of aggression. They are 2 separate things.

I think this is a case of beings being read in the wrong tone. The point is that women act from emoton a lot more than men do, and men act from logic a lot more than women do. Not that women almost always dive into anything based on their emotions and inability to make rational decisions. For example women live in the moment and don't particularly plan ahead as much as men do... typical femininity. While men are all about the future, setting goals, having definite plans... typical masculinity. But because of this, men are often unable to enjoy the present moment. Look how many men on this forum alone are complaining about nothing because they're more worried about locking some girl down rather than just enjoying the ride, it's almost like they want a signed contract.

Btw, I know that absolutely everything I've just said can be completely reversed in some cases. I'm just talking about the majority.

Look at typical arguments that couples have... you'll see the guy confused because it seems to have happened for no reason, they were fine a few hours ago and bla bla... but from her point of view he's been fucking up for a while. Logically it makes no sense.. but emotionally, to her, it does.

Then there's values:

For most men it's things like stability, comfort etc (I'm aware that this doesn't apply to about 5% of the guys here, who happen to be a lot more focused on accomplishment, self development and productivity)

For women it's excitement, romance, spontaneity you get the idea.

There's no denying that men also obviously enjoy excitement, and women enjoy comfort... but the order in which things are prioritised from one sex to the other is completely different.

I hope somebody can get my point across better than I can here.

I grew out of the dumb shit I used to say on here. Most of my posts don't represent who I am today at all.

I agree with what you're saying; my disagreement is just wrt the notion that acting more emotional than men is the same as acting mostly off of emotion.

A recent thread here is an example of the emotional woman thing:
Now, this is written off as women are emotional, dont use logic with them. Most of the time I see a "I'm confused by this woman's actions, women are just emotional post" its the men not using logic. It's a girl that you havent met that you have kinda a date with 6 months away. Where is the logic that this should be serious for both of you? Logically, with time, this situation has a very low chance of leading to a date or anything 6 months away. So lets say this chick flirts with you online, you're not using logic if you think that means anything. So she flirts, and in the morning realizes logically that it doesnt make sense to keep talking regularly because she's a chick with other options closer to her, that she wouldnt have to wait 6 months to meet. So she disappears on you. She's being logical, you aren't being logical and seeing the situation for what it is; when sh disappears you write it off as chick's just going with emotion, when its the opposite. Or, if she got back with her ex the next day, is it not logical that she should disappear on you?

There is often logic behind a woman's actions, men just dont see it cause the men are using more emotion. Chicks have much more options than dudes, so when she chooses one of them over you, thats just logical. When you have a great interaction with a woman, and she flakes for a better option for her, thats logic. RC made a point that I agree with that understanding how women operate is important. But I'd add that instead of thinking emotion vs logic, see it for what it most likely is, abundance vs lack of abundance. A girl doesnt feel the same attraction for you the next day, because she has abundance. If you had a ton of options, you won't feel the same day to day for some chick you havent met. You may really like a chick today, and tomorrow a better chick comes along. So you choose the better chick and forget the old chick. Its abundance not logic vs emotion. A chick may be moody with you, because she knows she can find someone that she wouldnt have to put up with the same bs with.

Guys look at things as "she's a hot chick, I want to bang her." Tomorrow you'll still want to bang her. A week from now you'd still be open to banging her and if she wanted to meet you'd meet. Girls have more abundance, so today they may want to bang you, tomorrow a better option comes along, or they get turned off, or it just doesnt mean that much to bang you again. Girls would see me as emotional when one day I'm all over them, the next day I don't talk to them and a day later I dont really care. Then a week later I come back and have a great time with them. That's interpreted as hot and cold, emotionally crazy. But what they're missing is I had a great time with them, the next day I met a chick I liked better, 3rd day I reconnected with an old chick, and that great time we had the last date just doesnt mean that much to me anymore. Then the chick I like the most goes out of town for a weekend, so I hit up the old chick.

Girls have abundance. And that means when they complain about things we think are petty, most of the time its because they know that they can do better. Think of it this way. If you had 4 equally hot girls to choose from, and one girl made a rude joke, you'd give it less leeway because you have 3 other girls just as good as her. Yes, we should understand girls, but imo its not logic vs emotion, its abundance and having so many options that even petty shit becomes a big deal.
