“Women take better decisions based on intuition.;men take better decisions on

It is said that women do have this intuitive skill Deepak.But I think, it helps to couple our observations too.Actually,and thta too on specific occasions, our intuition would itself be based on a set of observations recorded on the subconscious.We ourselves may not be able to pinpoint it but it may be there.

Kala- I agree with you that women do have intuitive skills and I have experienced the same. Undoubtedly, past observations stored in the subconscious mind also help.

Babyface, if I may ask, how often is that sometimes?

Hi jaiho1 Good to see you here. It is true that we do take inuitive decsions and have a peculiar feeling at times with regards to decisions. We have been blessed with too many connections in our brain[our wiring is such].

@Jo, that's my daughter dear...my only daughter

hi jai, you are looking so beautiful.

Hi dear! Thanks for the participation.What you say is true. Times have changed and women are also exposed to the world and get into interactions with outsiders thus honing their skills of observation.

There has been a change in society too in the recent past drannh and women are also given lot of exposure,they get to mingle with many and this naturally enables them to learn better survival skills.But, men and women do need to work hard to achieve a balance. I do agree with what you say. Thanks a lot for the response.

Definitely; Balance is always needed. I am racking my brains but I am unable to remember where I read that instinct or intuition is an outcome of a collection of experiences. As I had said elsewhere, we women tend to store far too many things in our memory and this helps at times.Too many insignificant things also ruin us causing clutter but it has its benefits.THat is why we are very quick thinkers.

Hi Vandana! Thanks for the participation. If you read my comment ot Kiran and her counter comment you would understand thta our intuition is itself a culmination of a set of subconsciously registered observation.Stock market is a study Vandana.Intuition here to is based on collective experiences, observations and knowledge.

I agree. But may be we are such quick thinkers in some matters that we can come up with solutions in fraction of seconds, that is why it gets labeled as intuition. :) But to be honest, I think there has to be a balance somewhere between the two!!!

If you read my comment to the previous response you would find that I have also written the same thing becasue it varies from person to person.In this particular film it was a sweeping remark in the context. Do you know Tamil?

It is true. When people are forced to mingle with many[in contrast to olden days where women were designated a role only at home]the attitude also changes. Finally, everything goes back to one'e exposure and aptitude to observe and take decisions.

No kala. I do not know Tamil. I did not read your comments. When there distinct roles as in the past perhaps one could put men and women in different compartments. Not any more. Both men and women are exposed to activities which were hitherto gender based. And with this exposure it is ultimately the individual that gets classified.

Actually I tend to think that this 'intuition' in women is itself a manifestation of their collective observations at various points of time.So, they do it fast.THey store umpteeen data in their memory ,you see,significant or insignificant

I feel different about this sudipta.I agree that men are more observant in many aspects but regarding this intuition and decisions made on intuitive thinking I feel it is due to a colelction of some experiences recorded in our subconscious. As I was writing in the course of the discussion, we tend to store plenty of trivia [sometimes to our peril]in our memory and this comes in useful at times. But, at the same time I also feel that if the situation needs some cold logic we may fail because occasionally [I don't know how to explain it and I don't know if you have felt it]some impulses, signals, get recorded [this is with people and our interactions].So, some decisions may prove wrong if we had attributed too much to nothing, making a mountain of a molehill.

Hi ! It is not that women use only intuition. We cannot categorise like that and I feel that this intuituion is itself a collection of experiences and observations recorded in our subconscious.THanks for the response.

Of course there is no doubt about it.We are all thinking human beings and both cases are always there.

I think it is sexist to think Only women use intuition. Men use it too.

I totally agree with you Vijaynths.Any decision must be taken after serious thought, and research.Failures and successes are not in our hands. Thsi dialogue was in the film yesterday "Parthiban Kanavu'.

Hi vijayanths, I think intuition, coupled with observation is the key. Neither of the two can be effective without the other.

Very true.It varies from person to person..And whether it is a man or woman, soemtimes it is also a matter of training to be logical.

I too felt the same way Paula that intuition is itself a culmination of a set of observations and feelings recorded in our subconscious. It is always great to hear from you. How is your daughter?

Hullo Kiran! our intuition would itself be based on a set of observations recorded on the subconscious.We ourselves may not be able to pinpoint it but it may be there.This is what I feel Kiran and this is why we get this gut feeling. We may sometimes ignore it to our peril but it is there. !

Exactly kala, it is a sum total of our sub concious having noted some finer details that may have skipped our mind or may not have properly registered at the time, and also our own experiences or others experiences which all come together to give us a kind of warning ! ...

Hi Jo! It is great to see you here in my discussion.How are you? What you say is true. We get impressions and I feel this is based on some prior observations that have sunk into the subconscious.

yes kala i am fine. thanks.

hanks Achiles for the participation. THe dialogue was that women tend to make mistakes later while men do it better on observation subsequently though they may lack the intuitive powers of women.It was a distinct comparison based on the context of the film.THat is why I thought it would make aan interesting discussion.

Well; film writers do put a lot of thought in their dialogues at times but this was extremely contextual and in this day and age I won't say that it would be totally relevant Ramesh.It isa TAMIL film where the hero looks at one girl, falls inlove with her, gets into an arranged marriage with her look-alike. He does not even approach the girl whom he is initially attracted to and finding out her likes through his friends ingenious methods, gets gifts for her and piles dream after dream in his imagined life with her because she shares many similar tastes . He goes to see soem girl arranged by his fahter and on seeing her look-alike mistakenly assumes thta she is his dream girl and gets married. They are just on their way to their new house when the dream girl passes him on the road. He is totally disappointed and in act shattered. But the second girl leads a patient life with him , bearing his churlishness. By a strange twist of fate, the dream girl sets residence in their opposite flat and befriends the wife.She loves the way the wife leads a life 'all devoted to husband'.But, in the end, when his friends realise his confusion and attraction for the dream girl, they inadvertently intervene and let the cat out of the bag.The wife is now shattered and leaves him.But in the end, the husband says that he is now truly in love with his patient wife and he delivers the dialogue--the wife was patient, was willing to give the marriage a try when he was behaving badly, was waiting with the intuitive hope of winning his love over.But when the man's mind had changed based on her baehaviour, she had lost hope, mistakenly believed that he had no feelings for her and was willing to go.She initially took a right decision to give the marriage a try; but when he took a right decision based on his observation, she made the wrong choice of leaving him.So he says he is going to wait for her after which the situation ends happily for the couple .The wife now knows the truth and they are united.THis is the celluloid example here.

That is always the case. We would have all people in allcategories. In the film yesterday, the dialogue was that while women take intuitive decisions the first time their subsequent decisions are not that good.[this was with reference to a particular context]and the man said thta it was the other way round for men. I too don't think it can be categorised to that extent.
