Do girls think and act completely on emotions?

[Anonymous]

I have heard girls think and act with their emotions and guys use logic and very little emotion. Is this true?

How do you girls cope with everyday life if you are always following your emotions being "up and down" all the time? Are you easily affected by other things but hide it well?

Please can I have some examples of how you girls think...

Thanks!

yes with in reason you are correct women CAN be logical just like men CAN be emotional; however, when our instinct to a situation is involved a woman thinks emotionally for example if a 12 year old kid is walking along the road in the rain a woman would more likely think "I can't just leave that poor kid on the side of the road what if he gets hurt I would be devastated!" while I guy is more likely to think "He don't look hurt and he is clearly old enough to know what he is doing why should I risk myself and/or my family for his comfort?" the real question is will the woman or man decide to go against their instinctive response or not. This is the reason that women are considered care givers we take care of the kids the ill and the injured we clean house and cook the foods that keep us healthy while the men take care of the necessity's such as providing shelter, food, stability, and protection. these are clearly defined gender roles that have existed for century's and while in today's society where woman and men both are expected to do the jobs of both genders it is less and less apparent that this is how we think yet it does still exist. This does not mean that woman are completely incapable of thinking with their heads rather than their hearts just as men are not incapable of thinking with their hearts rather than their heads what it does mean is that MOST of us have to make a conscious choice to behave in a manner that is different from our natural instinct.

you are right but to some extent. males are brought up different from females. for instances if a bat flies in the house, the woman may scream and run for cover, everyone runs but they push the males to get rid of it, no one ask him if he is afraid of it but they want him to get rid of it. see, thus from a young age it is instilled in us that males are to be the brave ones and he learns that his feelings should be hidden. (this is based on eg.) what is the first toy a boy would get? a toy car a ball etc, and in this they are taught to be more rough, and logical etc but girls are give doll which indirectly tells and teaches them to be gentle and nurturing etc. if you were to treat a boy the way you would treat a girl child I gurantee you he will be more emotional and nurturing than average male. if you notice, a boy that grows up with more female rolemodels in his life tends to be more emotional than average male, this is what some people call 'acting like a girl' and vice verse you would call a girl a "tomboy"

It depends on the day. Sometimes, I find myself working in such a logical fashion that I am completely amazed. Other days, I am so emotional I pity the people that have to deal with me. I usually like to be happy, and if something upsets me, I try to ignore it. If I can't, then I spend a "me, myself and I" day so I don't annoy people with my bitchiness.

I think that men are emotional, but not as much as women. There are a reason for the stereotypes, but I definitely think they have been over-played. Men have been raised to show less emotion, so that probably does nothing to help the stereotype, but I do still think that women are just naturally more emotional. It's not a bad thing, we can't all be emotional roller coasters. The world would go to complete chaos!

I just want to thank all of the wonderful males out there who are patient enough to deal with all of the crap we women give you :) It takes a really strong man not to get sick of a woman who is all over the map with her emotions.

Yes its true, women do not think the same way that men do. Even our brains are designed in different ways. Plus they have drops and raises of hormone levels and this is when they think differently or act diffeently as well. Plus sorry to say this but women are irrational a lot of times, they don't even know what they want (they say thy like nice guys but always go for jerks), they think one thing one day and then they changed their minds. Sometimes they are mind and they don't even know why they are mad. Sometiems they will just go for whatever they are feeling without thinking how annoyingthey may seem and sound, nagging and what not.

Been there done that.

[Yeahhbro]

Geeeezzz what is with the haiting huh?. I guess I should have explained that they are not completely emotional, but yes much more emotional than men. Ask a girl how many times she cries per month and how many times a guy cries per year and that should tell you the answer.

[alltheabove1212]

I've literally heard a few times this girl--->She was crying because some guy was being a piece of sh*t to her. We were like "ok here's what you can do to get over him" She then says "well I don't even know what I want."

[Mesonfielde]

It's a stupid stereotypical lie. Do you use ONLY logic for determining what you want? Or are there times when you're like "god, these two things are so equally similar, I feel I should just get this one instead"? That's TOTALLY not logic.

So no, it's actually a matter of personality and not gender.

[synmar]

Its a well known fact women are the emotional sex. Its just in our biology. So yes, I would have to say its true.

I am easily affected by things, and sometimes I don't handle it well. I do hide my feelings well when I have to (Man: Are you mad? Girl: No).

Just remember, girls disect everything men say to them. Especially when it comes to relationships. We look for the meaning, of the meaning of the meaning, when all you said was "I had a good time" or "I'm not in the mood to talk." Its nuts in our mind sometimes!

[rachiee]

That's not how it is for every girl. Yes a lot of times they tend to be more emotional because of estrogen and how it affects their mind compared to a guy's level of testosterone but that doesn't mean all girls are over emotional. That's like saying all guys are jocks or are into sports.

[InquisitiveMale]

I'm sorry but boy or girl were all the same emotionally. How we deal with it and how we show it might be different but aside from that were all one in the same. Happiness, sadness, joy, excitement, and anger; all universal. Brain also universal.

The only thing girls can be charged with is having a higher average percentage of emotional based choices. They still use their brain to sort their emotions out.

[perfect_stranger]

I think just because (some) guys repress emotions so much doesn't mean they are so logical and rational. I definitely hope not all guys are cold as you make it sound in this question - then it means, for instance, that they don't do something as irrational as falling in love?

In any case, women are usually more open about what they feel, but I do think that for the most part we are pretty logical and in many cases, we make better decisions than guys. Of course this is generalization, every person is different.

[johnny_hustle]

Of course we can fall in love, it's not that extreme. We do have emotions, ever heard of a guy lashing out or being abusive. Anger is an emotion. However, we are clearly focusing on the TLC of a guy in this case, and yes, guys can still be able to give tender love and care. It's just we thinking logically about the end outcome, and decide whether or not we should act. Not all the time but still. Other times we do think and act on emotion, but in society that tends to look weak. Sad but true.

[perfect_stranger]

Yeah, well, I guess from my own recent experience I've been wondering if guys do fall in love the same way girls do. Yes, society does make acting on emotion as something weak, but also for girls - they are called hormonal or crazy - afff ehehe

[questionner23]

that is NOT tru. sure, we can get moody and sometimes have mood swings cause of hormones but we do use logic. our emotions are not up and down a lot. it can b like that for sensitiv people tho. anyway that is just a mixed version of the real qoute. its girls let their emotions out and men dont. such as we cry a lot. we get angry a lot. by the way if you don't let your emotions out you die yung.

[Cool4ever5]

thats what he is saying. of course we use logic sometimes but for the most part, we are very emotional and usually act off of our feelings than logical unlike guys.

[helpingjessie]

i don't think guys go by logic, if they did ALL guys would be more successful than girls no just some. they use their brains and their "other head" to decide on things, girls use their head and espesially hte frontal area (where the chemicals that enable us to have emotions are made)

so I have a few fun little questions for you sir... how do you cope with everyday life of going "UP and DOWN"?

are you easily effected by OTHER THINGS?

do you hide IT well?

^_^

[Cool4ever5]

Guys are more logical than girls when it comes to relationships or just feelings. Its most not all in each gender ok? Its a majority thing. Men mostly are calmer about things and can control there feelings or not show at all cause that's howe they are mostly made.

[AmberChick]

No, if we did, then we would not be able to live with you guys. We'd end up miserable and alone. Same thing with a guy who completely acts on his emotions. No one would want to be around him, either. I think guys and girls have different things to do in this life. Their purposes are entirely different. There is no use comparing. The answer will never be to anyone's liking.

[Anonymous]

I do think girls are like this, but get off your high horse too. I am a scientist, atheist, and love to talk about how logical and rational I am. but if you really analyze it, I behave just as irrationally as your stereotypical hormone driven girl - ESPECIALLY when it comes to romance.

the rational, scientific conclusion, when looking at the evidence, is that humans are irrational creatures.

[selfishstars]

Men and women use both logic and emotions. Whether or not they use logic more or emotion more is an individual thing.

[Yeahhbro]

nahhh I disagree women are more emotional. Women think about love more often than men. Hence your dsplay picture. Women are in loved with love, men not as much.

[selfishstars]

Well, I suppose all the really emotional men I've met are just outliers.

And my display picture is about my love for dinosaurs, does that count as being in love with love?

[Anonymous]

yes, that's how we are biologically, its formatted within the hormones and men just have to accept it and deal with it.

i think men are emotional too but they just handle it better and hide it well.

emotions make us a bit more human :)

[lovecraze]

Not really... some of us work with our minds too.. and even if we've got a lot of emotions, some of us, try hiding it...

[hockeyrulesforever]

Both guys and girls are logical and emotional except girls tend to be more open about expressing their feelings while guys bottle it up.

[Cool4ever5]

Thats what he is sayin. We all have both. Its just about who uses it more than the other

[Anjaa]

Yes, I think you are right. I have noticed that, in swedish at least, guys tend to say "I think" and girls tend to use "I feel" a lot more.

[TheMisogynist]

Yes it is true, which is why women should not do anything even remotely important.

[DonMichelle]

NO!

Emotions can be irrational, irrationality can get you stung!

[Cool4ever5]

yes we do for the most part. Just how we are.
