“And no one ever wanna know, love ain’t funny; a crime in the wink of an eye…”

A famous quotation from the film “As Good As It Gets” has made the social rounds from its appearance to today:

 

Receptionist: How do you write women so well?

 

Melvin Udall: I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.

 

Admittedly, that elicits a knowing chuckle from us and our brethren.

 

And isn’t entirely inaccurate.

 

Yet it does, I’d argue, contain a hidden danger. 

 

 

 

As usual, I’m going counter to conventional (perhaps even ‘sphere) wisdom and say that the danger isn’t that it may offend or upset women.

 

Nor that it may make men look bad for agreeing or failing to agree with it enough.

 

The danger is, in my estimation, that it makes the path of the man who believes it utterly much more treacherous.

 

 

 

Reason is defined as “the capacity for logical, rational, and analytic thought”.

 

Thus, given surface appearances, far too many men fall prey to the trap that women are purely creatures of whim and emotion.

 

And that’s a Hell of a trap.

 

 

 

Realize, logic is simply a process; a “system of reasoning”.

 

And “analytic thought”, for most, really doesn’t amount to anything greater than “cost/benefit analysis”.

 

Thus, just because your decisions don’t make sense to me doesn’t automatically make them illogical.

 

Your needs, goals, and desires differ from mine.

 

Women more so.

 

Simply because they have so many needs/demands, if nothing else.

 

Trust me in this.

 

(If you choose not to trust me, just observe a woman for a while on Facebook or at work and see.)

 

 

 

Also, understand a being needn’t understand logic to employ it.

 

Insects, animals and children use it every moment of the day. 

 

As they’re driven by simple needs, a complex system is unnecessary.

 

“I’m hungry; I’ll eat.”

 

That’s logic.

 

Therein lies the danger.

 

Should a man fail to acknowledge (consciously or unconsciously) the myriad motives a particular female possesses, he’s in for a surprise. 

 

Possibly many.

 

 

 

 

Recall, women are the infinitely more pragmatic sex.

 

(It’s why they don’t scale well in modern society but that’s another story.)

 

There is always a logic.

 

There is always analysis.

 

Ask a woman how much of her day is eaten up by considerations and reconsiderations of actions.

 

(That’s the line that makes my female readers nod assiduously, today.)

 

Inquire as to how many conversations she has weekly seeking guidance, approval or both.

 

For example:

 

Why do so many modern, Western women chase “tingles” (men that sexually arouse them) more than other qualities?

 

Logical answer: That’s the most common unfulfilled (pun unintended) need they have in modern, Western societies.

 

The other things men have historically provided for women are now frequently supplied by government (security, sustenance, et al).

 

It only seems illogical to men because the government hasn’t provided things historically supplied by women for their particular needs.

 

(This is also why women ► frequently damage themselves ◄.)

 

 

 

Also, remember that if a woman breaks up with a man, it was overwhelmingly likely in the works for months – if not years – prior to the event.

 

That’s not a whim, my friend, despite appearances at its moment.

 

That’s analysis.

 

As for what constitutes female logic—
