in Chit-Chat
I fight daily against the assumption that my reactions to any given situation will be dictated by my emotion and not by rational thought. Men feel they need to walk on egg shells because their simple observations can be twisted into personal attacks by our ovaries. Please tell me there is hope! Please tell me you can step back from a situation and look at it form a perspective of logic and reasoning!

    I agree with this :smile: but OP, I know what you mean. I think there are just some bad apples spoiling the bunch...we all aren't overly sensitive and emotional about everything in life

    Glad to see 2 logical women. I'm sad that with the amount of MFP members there aren't more chiming in.

    Are women not more generally emotional and do they not more often base decisions on that?

    Not being mean but there is a basis for the stereotype and it is not always a bad thing.

    Less logic, more sandwich making.

    We can rationally and logically respond to men being dumb burros? Seriously, guys, sometimes we're being overly emotional and sometimes you do or say something that just blows our minds in all the wrong ways.

    When we are right. We are wrong.

    When we are wrong. Well. We are always wrong.

    Imma have to second this one. I don't like generalizations and do find it annoying that any "b!tchy" attitude is blamed on our menstrual cycle but there is some truth to women being more emotional than men.

    Now, on the other hand, men tend to be more callous and sometimes that's not a positive thing. Guys can be real d!cks about dumb stuff and that's uncool too.

    We all have our inherent flaws :indifferent:

    Typically I am usually able to look at things rationally.
    When PMS comes around all logic is out the window.
    My rules during that time are:

    1.) Keep all conversations to a minimum.
    2.) Don't make any serious decisions.
    3.) Dont make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.

    You said you end up with the sensitive guys. The common theme is you. Look for a different type of guy who isn't really sensitive.
