girls say they have the same level of intelligence as men but their decision making seems to be based not on logic but emotion and selfishness

I think you've had some bad experiences with girls! Boys in general, I would suggest, are more logical, whilst females are more emotional. By this, I mean women are more often ruled by the heart than the head in matters of romance. It just seems unfortunate that you have had the misfortune of meeting girls who are selfish. Thinking with the heart can be a strength, but only when one considers others' feelings as well as their own.

I can assure you that not every girl is selfish.

But everyone I've ever met is crazy in the head in their own way...

Well, Alex, I think you are right that they may involve more emotions. I disagree about the selfishness bit.
Let me explain that they are two sides to the human being brain (I am being serious here). Those two sides have different functions: one is more logical, the other one more emotional (to make a long story short). In women's brain, there are more connections between the 2 sides. In other words, they get to get the two sides of the brain operating together more often then men.
That's why they seem crazy. And possibly they like it this way.

It is a fact that the more emotion you have, the less mind you have.Now, which of the two possible genders, statistically speaking, experiences more emotion - or would claim to? Mmm, the female gender, one would suspect.
When it comes to intelligence, men have what it takes.It is men who lead, explore, push forward and calculate.Men focus their attention, they do not multitask and they do not spend most of the time emotionalising.The whole species benefit from mens' pursuits. Men choose to take on more of the intelligent-provoking "environment", and they interact with it in much more of an objective and emotionless way.
Women therefore, function less mindfully than men.Women also believe that their male counterparts are more clever than them.Honestly speaking, women prefer men who are socially up the ladder and so it is that they prefer men who are more intelligent than them.Women are not loved for their intelligence nor are they found attractive as a result of it.
If women had been the dominant gender, each would have used her influence to promote further "emotionalising", and the result would have been less achievement with regard to developing other things.
But it is clear that both men and women choose things to be this way!

Unfortunately you are assuming that your stand point is the "sane" one. Just because a decision seems illogical and selfish to you doesn't mean that a third person of either gender would see it the same way. Secondly, emotional decisions are equally valid to logical ones. Thirdly, We all get dumped...get over it and move on.

And your question is??? We women are emotional beings, if we weren't emotional beings then you all wouldn't have wife's and girlfriends, we would discard you all through using the logic we have but ignore in order to have men and a family. Selfishness??? What? Who are you dating? I suggest you try to date some other female, most females I know are selfless. Good luck on that.

Perhaps it's because girls are capable of feeling emotion to a greater degree than you. They exercise the same ratio of logic to emotional control but achieve a greater level in emotion in the decision because they have far more power in that field. Does that help?

We are crazy because you idiots make us that way moron....you guys are the ones who base everything on superficial thinking....you look at women based on their looks and not other things like intelligence, humor and other personality traits that should really define a person....With men everything is about appearances and sex....

If anything we have more intelligence than you because we are able to view things in greater depth and the fact that we base decisions on emotions sometimes only shows that we not only use our heads but we are not afraid to use our hearts. Men are afraid to show emotion out of fear of exposing certain feelings that may make them perceive themselves as weak. They are afraid of damaging their own fragile egos. We are more open and honest and better communicators. I would hardly say that qualifies us as being selfish. It is when you put up walls and refuse to speak to us and shut us out that you become selfish.

Couples usually end up in therapy because women try to talk to men about problems in their relationships until they are blue in the face only to be ignored by their insensitive partners who put up walls and refuse to talk. Why do you think therapists make such a killing on marriage counseling? Because men simply don't want to communicate....thus leading to a breakdown of the marriage....women by nature want to work things out, want to talk....so think on that one before you make such a negative comment about women....

That's based on your own experiences, not on actual fact.

Men and women's brains are different. That's why women can multi-task and men can't. It's why men are better on computer games like Doom - women need a far greater spatial displacement than men.

We're equal, just different. It's quite sad to see you're already thinking that way, but I can guarantee you there are women out there who aren't as screwed in the head as you plainly think.

Someone just had a bad experience? Don't pigeon hole people we're all different. Personaly I prefer women with emotions to logical machines. Go on Mr Spock give them all a chance you may be surprised.

girls are emotional, but they dont think with thier emotions!

Men just dont have the ability to make a descion, therefor the girls have to make the descision for you, then u have the cheek to call us selfish because we have to do all the brain work for u!
