The Decision Making Process

We all know the stereotype: men are more technical and women are more emotional. Sure, it’s sort of true, but I think most of that is bullshit. For instance, it is a known theory that it takes a woman a longer time to fall in love than a man. Why is that? Because somewhere deep in the male psyche, he is emotional. According to an article I just read, 3/4 of men polled believed in soul mates (Ch. 1 of Men, Love, and Sex). If this is not an emotional take, what is?

Take the human population into thought. If there is a large population of people and the whole biology of a man is supposedly technical, wouldn’t the logical thing be to not be tied to one person, but instead insure that you have children through sexual interactions with multiple partners?

The female actually takes a longer time to fall in love. Why? Because we look at the financial, physical, emotional, and mental attributes to a relationship. A personal example would be when I first fell in love. The guy I loved did not have a job, was not mentally or emotionally stable, and he had a problem with his back because of an occupation injury. I did stay with him for a year and few months because of the emotional part, however, I knew I could never marry him in that state. We may stay with a person because of love, but some women do not commit completely with the person because of the other mitigating circumstances. My husband is everything I could ever want, except for one thing… I am constantly reminded of how emotional I get.

Here is the problem, women are emotional. I don’t deny that. The last few posts can attest to that. I am an emotional person. However, you cannot say that I am always emotional. I fell in love with my husband because of the financial, physical, emotional, and mental support he gives me. I learned my lesson from the last guy. I learned that just because I love someone does not mean the relationship is a good one. This relationship is, because I made the decision with both emotion and logic.

To say that men are only technical is a lie. Men are constantly fighting other men because of their emotions. They are predominately more jealous than women. This indicates emotion, not logic. Is it really logical to be jealous that your girlfriend is talking to another guy? Wouldn’t it be more logical to just dump the girl if you think she is capable of cheating? That would be the logical way of doing things. However, most men don’t work like that.

When revenge comes into the picture, a woman tends to be calculative and does something that will harm the man for good. The man only does the first thing that comes to mind. Like show all his friends photos of her naked via phone. This action is more of a crime of passion. The same story with a woman is different. She wouldn’t bother with the photos. She would attack him where his pride is at. She would wait weeks even months for the right scheme and destroys exactly what he’s worked so hard for. Though both are crimes of passion, the woman in this case utilizes her logic.

Therefore, women are emotional. Men are emotional. Women are logical. Men are logical. We are all the same. We are all different. One girl would react completely emotional about one issue, but logical in the next. The same goes with men. It is just life. So, why do people take so much stock on these stereotypes? Why can’t people just understand that we all do things the same or differently, whether or not we have a penis?
