Dont you hate it when a girl is so pretentious in sayign that women are emotional, illogical, chaotic, etc. and as if this is the way 'girls are supposed to be'?
Personally I think it's crap. They have all just been brainwashed to mix up the feelings of oxytocin ( the love hormone ) which comes from the posterior pituitary gland with the fight / flight mechanisms adrenaline hormones and the amygdala's cortisol vs dopamine.
Basically she talks a good one about how things need to feel right, and acts as if her feelings are so absolute and her 'intuition'. That's a bunch of BS, and that's why she can be manipulated so easy by the "bad boys" right? And then end up 'oh so heartbroken'.......
...........
Seriously. Feelings are not the end all be all. Ever did something you KNEW was wrong but yuou did it anyway? It might have even felt good in the short term but long term? It messed you up. The amygdala acts like that. THe information filters thru the amygdala first, and like cable internets feeds this into the rational brain. But the reverse feedback mechanism is like a dial up internet (ie from rational brain to amygdala).That's why it's hard to deal with the amygdala's responses. It's wired with the same as in our primitive days when we were living in jungles as monkeys. THe amygdala isn't always as useful as it was back in the day with our modern day stresses.
We aren't running from lions tigers and bears (oh my) that increase our adrenaline (aka FEAR), or hiding from releasing cortisol (PARANOIA). Simple dopamine isn't often enough to tell you that something is good for you. It leaves you edgy and in a chaotic emotional rollercoaster. Ie the happiness trap.
