I've always sort of understood female reasoning, backwards rationalization, and the hamster on an abstract, detached, observational way. I understand the concepts and the basic mechanisms of how it works but the current conversation I'm having with a girl as we speak has given me a rare glimpse into the actual workings of it and I have had a breakthrough.
I know it's not a new concept to any of you, but I've never heard it put quite so simply into these terms that made it click in my head exactly how insane women really are.
The conversation went in a direction of "feelings". Instead of tuning out like I usually do, I decided to make it a fun roleplay to get her to let her guard down and try to teach me.
These are direct quotes:
I felt mad, so that proves that you were trying to make me mad.
I was horny, so that's how I know you were trying to seduce me.
I got jealous, so that's why you did that---to make me feel jealous.
Again, this isn't new or groundbreaking to any of you, but it set aight bulb off in my head. Essentially, if I understand it, the feeling is the center of everything, and creates from it both the reasoning and the intentions.
Do I have that somewhat right? Because it sounds like "the effect creates the cause". Or perhaps they have cause and effect reversed? Just seems that the feeling is not an effect or an result to them, or that they simply don't think in terms of cause-effect. It seems they view the response (feeling) as chronologically first or more central, and use it to define thebstimulus.
Does this sound as ridiculous to you as it does to me?
