Poll: Men Vs. Women : Rationality

[timeadept]

I've heard stories from both sides that were equally batshit insane.

 

[Moromillas]

Personality trait tbh.

 

[Blunderman]

Statistics mean nothing to the individual. I've meet entirely irrational women just as I've met entirely irrational men. That being said, women are more emotional and sensitive than men but that doesn't not preclude them from thinking rationally. In my view, it's a strength. Understanding both emotional and rational arguments is better than just one of the two.

All I know is my arguments with girls last much longer and make much less sense than the arguments with guys.

 

[Danzaivar]

Depends on the topic. In general they're the same.

 

[Kortney]

Is anyone else laughing at the large amounts of irrational people who are saying men are more rational than women?

Ha ha. I know I am.

 

[Hashime]

Men in an emotional argument will in my opinion be more logical, that is a heated argument inflaming emotion. The man probably did the thing that caused the argument.

lets face it, sadly he's got a point. Though, personally I find that rationality seems to depend more on the individual than the individual's gender.

It's pretty well documented, as of 4-5 years ago, that men are naturally inclined to be more rational/logical than women, who tend towards intuition and emotion.

Does that mean there are no irrational men or logical women? Not at all. All it means is that the average male will be more logical than the average woman.

It certainly isn't irrational to state something supported by science (or so I remember, I can't find any decent studies on the issue one way or the other on the first page of a google search so I'm not gonna bother going any deeper).

Men, because women never say what we mean. You know the whole "It's fine" means your fucked, "Nothings wrong" means your fucked, "we'll take later" means you're fucked.
That's why I tend to befriend men, they just come straight out with it, whereas women don't have the balls to say things to your face in my experience.
I'm the freak in the relationship when it comes to arguing; my boyfriend will be trying to calm me down or something, and I'll be in his face for a while then not talk to him for a few days. I am quite irrational in general though, and sometimes he is just as bad.

Well, they're probably mostly men. They can't help it.

One positive trait of men, however, is that we don't use those annoying emotes at the end of our sentences as much as women.

At a rough guess, differing chromosomes would have no difference on verbal technique. That's more often down to education and schooling, which would depend on social cues rather than gender.

That being said, rationality is subjective anyway.

 

[SwagLordYoloson]

Why does no one on this site ever include hermaphrodites ?

On topic now, from my experiences i have found all 6 year olds to be irrational, all 21 year olds to be irrational and all 50 year olds to be irrational, regardless of gender, thats why im going on a quest for coin and cleavage

 

[Outright Villainy]

I've never known anybody to be particularly rational in an argument. The idea that some gender is somehow more rational is, in fact, hilarious. Simple pandering to the 'stoic male' stereotype vs the 'fickle, irrational woman'. Sorry, it's BS.

Exactly. Arguments have idiocy on both sides, all the time, everywhere. Either gender can be stubborn and headstrong, or fickle and irrational.

Men and women are equally idiotic in arguments.

From experience, a woman can irrelevantly go for low-blow insults and you'd have to hold back when argueing; unless you want a bunch of people jump you a week afterwards.

I'd tried to forget this, but here's the most I can recall. A girl and I got into an arguement about the continuity of an anime, I think it was Naruto(GOOD GOD, I cant believe I watched that crap). I brought up logical trivia and research to support my viewpoint (I get serious when I'm into something, and all she did the whole arguement was saying "Yes it is" louder and louder (Once again, I completely forgot what I was arguing about), and she would insult my appearence, intellegence, and family issues(cause she knew about that and wanted to use it as her "trump card"). Her friends gladly interfened. I kept from yelling to the point where all everybody heard was thier screeching voices. What really gets it in my ass, is when people are saying that she's winning the arguement, because she is louder and has more conviction. But, as a pathetic attempt to get that assumption wrong, I continued not to yell, and I got to a point where I got her to a verbal checkmate. Then at that point, she started swinging. There was no bruises, but I could taste blood. And the hell of it is that everyone around me, even the fucking athorities, that it was humorous. Then I shoved her, called her a psycho ***** and she fell on some chairs. The entire place was silent. Shortly afterwards some burly men grabbed me and threw me out of the building. The girl wasn't hurt. I wasn't submisive after that night, like the girl, her friends, and my parents thought I should be. So 5 days later, what looks to be her brother and his friends cornered me shoved me around and told me to "stop using my smartass mouth" after I said "yeah" the most badass way I could, they walked away. And I stood clear away from her, then I moved away.

Of course, I can't difine an entire gender stereotype by one example. But this is just one example. this happened multiple times, with different women. I've moved 8 times in my life, and I've lived in most sides of the spectrum: North, Midwest, South, Big City, Small Town. And it's basically the same.(Although the south has a bigger issue with this in general.) I don't know, maybe I'm just that unlucky with finding groups of women. Maybe it's one huge coincidence. I don't know, but I'm just speaking through experience. No offence.

At the same time I'd have men do the same thing, but you'd don't have to be aware of there emotions as much.

I voted for both. for different reasons though, the reason I voted for the women part is explained it this guys comment, so true. So, so true. Women claim to want equality, but yet you can't even shove them off you for when they do go "psycho" and start mouthing off. And for men, because plain and simple they get to a point when explaining something instead of turning it into a huge discussion.

Both sexes can be very irrational, and both sexes have the ability to be rational.

However I have argued with far more irrational women than men.

In most of my arguments/debates, roughly 50% of guys arguments were irrational in some form (ridiculous arguing point/ too much emotional investment/ chav) but girls were more like 75%.

That's not an exact science, just personal experience, I have difficulty admitting I'm wrong, but I can do it when I've been outright proven wrong.

However I have completely proven a girl wrong with hard evidence that showed she was completely in the wrong with no hope and she simply said 'I don't care' and continued arguing some fleeting point that I had instantly stopped caring about.
