How Women Think

Understanding The Way Women Think - Page 1

How women think? What women think? This is always a big mystery to most men. Women think differently than men. While most men use about 80% logic when making a decision, women use 80% emotion in doing that. No wonder it is very hard for average men to understand women and why they do what they do.

For example, let's look around us. I believe everyone of us ever see this weird view: a very beautiful girl, pure and shining like an angel, goes hand in hand, hugging tightly a one-headed cerberus-look guy in her arms as though she's afraid to lose him. 

(Do you know cerberus? It's a big ugly three-headed dog which guards the Tartarus, the home of the dead).

Does the "cerberus" seems rich? Or intelligent? Or handsome? No way! The guy just doesn't fit with the scene. It's like the beauty and the beast, a pollution to our eyes .

And worse than that, we often see too that it is the girl who seems to care and love the guy so much, while the guy seems ignorant to her as if he would dump her anytime he wishes. I don't think he even ever tried to find romantic date ideas, fun date ideas, first date ideas or something like that to make her happy.

But sadly, she chose him anyway. Why? Is she blind, stupid, or what? In a sense, yes she is. But it's just because we see it through our eyes, through our logical male minds.

But remember, she is not a guy. She is a girl - a woman - with her own way of thinking. Her brain is structured in such a way that made her emotions have much stronger influence on her than her logic. Unless we are willing to accept that reality, it will be very hard for us to understand how women think and what women think.

Why on earth there are so many women choose "bad boys" instead of all the good & respectable guys around them? To understand this phenomenon about how women think, there are certain things that we must be familiar with.

First, let's learn the process behind a decision making in our brain. The process is very similar in both men and women. (A bit scientific though ).

The Triune Brain Theory

According to "The Triune Brain Theory" by Dr Paul MacLean, human brain consists of 3 parts:

• R-Complex, includes the brain stem and cerebellum. R-Complex is also called reptilian brain because its structure is like the brain of reptilians which mainly composed of only brain stem and cerebellum.

  This part controls physical aspects of body, instinctual survival behaviors and thinking as well as the muscles, balance and autonomic system such as heartbeat and breathing.

• Limbic System. Derives from "the old mammalian brain".

  The limbic system is the source of emotions and instincts. It was  observed that everything in the limbic system is either "agreeable or disagreeable." Survival is based upon the avoidance of pain (disagreeable) and the recurrence of pleasure (agreeable).

• Neocortex also known as cerebral cortex.

  Neocortex is found in the brain of higher mammals. It is responsible for higher-order thinking skills, reason, speech, and wisdom.
