Benson Boone

At the Benson Boone concert. Almost time to start. D17 is dancing in her seat to the intro music *grin*. She’s got the silly feels emotions going on. Oh that female side of things.

D19 is down in the pit by the stage with her friends. I saw a hand wave once. …

woman and feels/emotions

It seems to ring true…how true is this?

Most men do not comprehend just how much a woman's emotional nature affects her entire reality. Even if a woman is logically aware that her emotions have taken her perception hostage, this awareness does not provide her with control over her emotions. She is almost helpless until her emotions pass.

Imagine a woman on a raft in turbulent waters heading towards a waterfall. The woman is aware of the fact that she is heading towards the waterfall and does her best to paddle to safety. Nevertheless, she is still carried by the rough waters through rapids and towards the waterfall.

A common example is where a woman is with a good man and she logically knows that this is a good man. His behaviour changes, causing the woman to lose positive feelings and to focus on negative feelings for this good man. She decides to leave. Even though she logically knows that this may not be the best decision, emotionally she will say "it doesn't feel right", and will justify her decision to leave. Later, when her negative feelings subside, the woman lives with the logical consequences of her decision, sometimes with regret. A deep state of denial is also another possible outcome.

Most women will think that they are being highly logical when analysing their emotions and their decisions, but they are still subject to their emotional state at the time. A wise woman will know to pause and do nothing so that her emotions pass with time.
