Interesting that guys overwhelmingly say YES while girls overwhelmingly say NO.

No. Anger and is an emotion too. Men seem to forget that. Men become violent and men do stupid extreme shit all the time, it’s why they die early at a higher rate. Nothing logical about punching a hole in the wall, or screaming and flipping over the table because their favorite football team lost. Nothing logical about mirdering or verballt attacking someone because they rejected your flirting. Nothing logical about shooting up a school or attacking blonde women because someone who looked like them wouldn’t sleep with you. Nothing logical about ruining your whole family because not controlling feeling lustful towards someone else in the moment. Nothing logical about reckless driving. I could go on, and on, and on.

No mens behaviour often proves the opposite, how often do they do things without thinking or fly off the handle.

[browsingthroughthe]

@purplepoppy that's so sweet of you to say Lady. Ladies are sweet 🎂 usually.

[Chazmatazz269]

Yeah, men raised by single mothers aren’t taught emotional regulation. They act like women.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Not necessarily. Though men are encouraged since little boys to hide their emotions so that's why it may seem on the surface men are less emotional. But what many men don't consider is that anger is actually an emotion and a lot of men are really angry. Getting emotional doesn't just mean crying or complaining or whatever it can also be anger.

Overall though I'd say it's an individual thing more than a sex/gender thing. Men can be really emotional with anger taken into account as said above. I have also met some stoic women who don't show much emotion.

[RavVid]

I would argue it is not just upbringing but also an evolutionary selective pressure that causes men to be more emotionally regulated from Homo Erectus onwards. If a men spat the dummy as a woman does they'd get a bunch of fives to remind them of their manners.

Ancient skeletons show a higher percentage of violent death in males. Anger can be advantageous but more often is harmfull to your lifespan. Any injury could lead to death as a simple cut can become infected.

Women have chosen social violence most of the time. So there just hasn't been the same evolutionary pressure on them to regulate emotions as for men.

[RavVid]

On the update. Girls FEEL it is not so.

[Anonymous]

No.

Even if your depiction of brain hemispheres was structured vs intuitive, (both of which contain logic plus emotion) still no. ㅤ

[OlderAndWiser]

I agree that applies to low to average intelligence people. It doesn't apply to every single person, but generally applies. For people of above average intelligence, they tend to be more a blend of logical and emotional.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Agree (mostly) there, OAW.

[Anonymous]

For the most part this is true, yes. But nobody is 100% one or the other. I think i can get pretty emotional for a guy. But i am a very logical, analytical person. Being emotional doesn't mean you lack logic, or have the inability to use it. It just means in most cases your emotion overides your logic and reason. And this is a hallmark of women. And i don't get why some women get offended by you pointing this out. I mean i could say, "because they get too emotional about it" (ok now i'm just being an a**hole😂). But seriously, this is a GOOD thing. Women are also HIGHLY judgmental. If women DIDN'T get as emotional as they did, (good women that is) they wouldn't bond to men they choose as partners as strong as they do. And these women would leave him at the first stupid thing he did. And guys do A LOT of dumb things.😂 it's this emotion of hers that keeps her from giving up on him. Now this can work against women. Because when the woman chooses a poor partner, it also keeps her from cutting her losses and leaving. Unfortunately this same emotion causes her to double down on a poor choice she's made.

[RavVid]

Women just go with their feelings far more than men do. A friend made the point if guys were as emotionally unregulated as women are, than the male death rate would be extremely high.

A respected anthropologist noted that about 50% of male skeletons showed violent deaths. Now hunting was close up and personal early on. But it is not hard to see evolutionary selective pressure for men who could count to 10 when angry.

Women in contrast prefer social violence to fisticuffs and always have. Especially since feminism they have become even more emotionally unregulated. A feeling is a fact now even if it is demonstrably false.

[HawkPerception]

Just from basic observations in my life and without resorting to finding scientific research or psychological experiments, yes. Seems more often than not that girls seem to have a harder time understanding logic than guys do. And they get emotional very easily. They're always the first to scream, get angry, cry from sadness or happiness, and they seem to be more empathetic when it comes to others.

[Chazmatazz269]

That used to be generally true. However we are generations into the travesty of the single mothers experiment now, and that is turning out a lot of men with very little to no emotional regulation. They’re easy to spot and they usually end up in prison or dead, and it’s mostly single mothers to blame for all of it.

[OneViewpoint]

It's not that women can't think logically. They (I think) have more powerful emotions that sometimes override their common sense and lower their impulse control. Men are the opposite. We are trained from birth to suppress and control our emotions and use logic to dictate our actions. Most of the time. But we have anger and jealousy that can override our default logic and can trigger irrational behavior detached from reality. We all have moments where emotion drives stupidity.

[DonaldDarko]

It must be something like that. Jordan Peterson mentioned some psychological idea about men being interested in things vs women being interested in people. I guess that does track with child rearing vs labor and fighting wars that men are concerned with.

[Anonymous]

Im married absolutely. Last year I got the silent treatment for a month after a slutty waitress at a restaurant flirted with me and left me her number in front of her. She couldn't let it go. Even the sex was angry. Logically she should have concluded that I did nothing wrong.

[Tarifa]

I think that men are practical first, logical second and completely off the map when we get emotional.

Women can be emotional, logical and practical at the same time.

[BadApple69]

I disagreed because I know many women who are very logical, and I’ve known some guys who are emotional (but honestly only a couple).
Basically the statement (although a blanket statement) is mostly correct.

[loveslongnails]

I agree to a point, but I would say it different. I think of it more like this:
* Generally speaking, men tend to process things through a filter of equations, while women tend to process things through a filter of feelings.

When you call it logic vs emotions, it polarizes people because, in my opinion, one connotes thoughts and the other connotes reactions. The former gets viewed in a superior manner, while the latter in a inferior manner, of dealing with the world.

[Zack-Bann]

An overrated oversimplification.


Personality types are not gender bound.
Aside from genitals nothing is.


Some people are emotional others rational, with can be a man or a woman

[LazerBean]

I think that used to be true, but I think with the decline in mens testosterone over the decades, so has their logic declined and their emotions risen.

[browsingthroughthe]

Funny enough both men and women seem to have fists lol 😆 it's the darnedest thing about both sexes lol eh? Sigh flip 🙃

[LazerBean]

Indeed lol

[browsingthroughthe]

Why can't we all just get along 🫢👌🏻

[SaoirseS]

Good question, @browsingthroughthe

[LazerBean]

Ah, you don't like stastics much huh?

[browsingthroughthe]

@AviatorTom Don't tell that to any female Marvel superhero / DC superhero - lol 😆 them superhero ladies be built lol 💪🏻 slap 👋🏻 from last Monday into next Tuesday ahahaha

[browsingthroughthe]

Anyways, on a serious note : I think emotions separate all us humans, from the animals. 😂

[browsingthroughthe]

@AviatorTom lol 😆 I guess with your update, anyone who's human, can lose their shit or temper / male or female lol

[lilBigPotato]

Both are emotional, it just shows with different things. Also one doesn't automatically exclude the other.

[slatyb]

Men are far more emotional, and unfortunately, likely to become violent when they experience strong feelings. They attack other people, especially women who reject themselves, or they kill themselves.

[sage2021]

I am a woman and I am very logical.

I think that both sexes can be logical.

[NathanDavis]

I don't agree with simplistic generalizations...

[ProbablyClueless]

I do not agree. The number of men I've seen and met who are very emotionally driven people. Maybe fewer than women. But, emotions are a huge motivating factor for men.

[MrChinaski]

I don't know who 'are' what. Women are encouraged to express emotions and my impression that among women emotions are more readily accepted as an explanation.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I agree every woman that I’ve met is extremely wishy-washy with emotional problems either online or in person. They are never stable. they can’t really be a president unless they follow the lead of the people in the cabinet

[Dargil]

Many are but some aren't like Margaret Thatcher and Judi Dench as M

[strateguy632]

I guess if a trans takes estrogen "she" will be emotional and ruin the divide.

[Massageman]

See Mark Gungor's " Tale of Two Brains". It's more "structured vs unstructured".

[fishbone77]

1000%. They prove it every day. This is why they're unfit for leadership.

[fish5505_87]

This question is getting really played out, although I do enjoy most of your content!

[Snakeyes7]

Pretty much. Obviously there are outliers but the statement is generally true.

[xawyx-3]

Not necessarily, some men are quite emotional, on the other hand, some women can be quite logical.

[Siajanua2027]

No, many men are not logical and do things based on emotions as well, and vice-versa

[Anonymous]

I think that is generally true, just as men are generally taller than women. Obviously, there are plenty of exceptions.

[_Jenny_]

Maybe, most of the time

[exitseven]

yes, it is just the way it is.

[molonski2]

The analysis is far too general in my opinion.

[Cidknee]

Yes, with the occasional exception.

[SaoirseS]

Not if you look at Donald Trump!

[Cidknee]

That makes NO sense!

[SaoirseS]

There’s nothing logical and everything emotional about him!

[Cidknee]

But he's one man.

[SaoirseS]

There are plenty just like him. Just look at all of the emotive missives on social media, to include here. Men don’t have a monopoly on logic, and women aren’t the bundle of emotions men like to portray them to be.

[Kelly6]

@AviatorTom Agree

[douride2]

Personally I think this can go either way.

[canamlusciouslad73]

Does "men" include black men?

[canamlusciouslad73]

@Factual_person Thanks, boy-o !!!
