Sixth Sense of a Woman!

[asli_badmash]

I have always been amazed by the Sixth Sense of women.



You know they somehow know.



My friends (girls) have a keen sense about any guy they see. They some how know this guy means trouble. And usually it is right.



My Mom and my Sister.. always tell me stuff about people I go out with like my friends and people in general. Somehow they are right.



Did God give women some in-built sixth sense technology that a man has no clue about?



~Badmash~



PS: Guys write your experiences... that proves this thoery. I am sure you have some.

[azazel]

my Mom man..

she always catches me when im lying/hidin somethin from here..

dunno abt all women, but mom's a sure shot for the sixth-sense faculty

I think it's more to do with heightened sensitivity rather than a 'sixth sense' or anything similar. Women seem to pick up nuances in other people's body language and general behaviour more easily than most men (of course, I've known women who wouldn't have known a nuance if it hit them in the face, but we're talking women in general here...)



I don't think this sort of insight is the sole prerogative of women, however. I know a few men who're like that too, though I admit they're very few

My Dad.. very difficult to get away with anything from him..

come to think of it, is it abt my parents or am i bad liar??

[Asli_badmash]

I agree most women in general pick up the little emotions, gestures which people try to conceal under the veneer of social obligation.



But how do they do that and why most women can do it and only few men can ? Has it got something to do with being sensitive, if that is how we can define it...



I can understand for a man there is no hiding the emotions from a woman. When we want to say something its usually loud and in the open. But have you ever heard the discussion(heated) between Saas and Bahu or two women.. the discussion seems all normal, but you know underneath they are like firing missles at each other. Its really bloody man... its funny though.



azazel: I can understand parents knowing you very well, they have seen you for 20 odd years so they know you inside out.

Bang On!



It's just a bit of the brain used.You know when does that '6th sense' come into play the best,when we've gotta decide whether or not a guy is interested in us.It never went wrong(atleast not with me)I also can tell which girl is 'daaling dore' on my brother-though he never seems to realise on his own.

There is a popular theory that the brain is divided into two halves: Right Brain and Left Brain. Each is responsible for different aspects of the mental functioning. The Right Brain is responsible for understanding spatial relationships and thinks in pictures, while the Left Brain is responsible for understanding in a sequential logic and language, and thinks in words. The Right Brain is holistic and intuitive, while the Left Brain is analytic and procedural.



In some versions of the theory, the Right Brain is associated with the unconscious and with emotions, while the Left Brain is associated with the conscious, "rational" side of the intellect. There are also some overly simplified versions that claim men are dominated by Left Brain , and women by the Right Brain.



Maybe there in lies the reason why women seem to possess the sixth sense.

Interesting... Let me extend this a little bit. Going by the theories of Darwin; I guess everyone will agree that species evolve with time to adapt to the condition around them. We lost a tail, the primates kept it. Because the primates need a tail we humans don’t. Later we developed a language and complex social lives and we are constantly moving to redefine the standards of living.



In old times … I guess as a result of the division of chores at home, the women were given the role of nurturers and care takers, while the men had to be hunters and gatherers. Men would hunt and gather and they would return to their homes to rest and the women would comfort and care for them and their children. All the religious texts which are an image of the how the life was in old times say so. As a result the women had settled into a role; of which one of feature was the innate ability to pick up the undercurrent of emotions and provide comfort and support. And that is how we evolved till today....



The question is…



1. Now that women are stepping out of the threshold (door) to work (hunt and gather), freely interact in the society and redefine their roles as the hunter and gatherers, do you think they would loose their edge of being the same caring nurturing creatures that we so identify a woman with ?



2. If men don’t work and stay back at home and care for babies would they develop the same sense as a woman?



3. Gay Men are more in touch with their feminine side.. why? How did this happen ?



~Badmash~



PS: This reminds me of a Kota Srinivas Rao – Rajendra Prasad movie I saw long time ago. “Jambha Lakadi Pamba”... For some reason I can’t recall, the role of men and women get reversed and they behave accordingly. Women stand in the street corners and whistle and ogle at men.. and all the rest.. it was funny.



FYI: Kota is acting god for me. I think he is very versatile and just plain awesome.

'role reversals', it is called. In the present conditions a woman becomes more of a man and a man becomes more of a woman.. the woman looses her natural sense of 'nurturing' and tries to get better at what the man had been good at all this while, 'hunting and protecting' and becomes more manly.



The man looses his natural sense of being the provider and protector and becomes more feminine.



In turn there's so much of confusion due to these role reversals that gays/lesbians happen. aw..wwww



If any of you noticed, in every gay relationship, there is a more feminine man and a more masculine man as is so in the lesbian relationship one woman is more feminine and the other is more masculine !!



Ah ! what the world is coming to !!

Shortly there is gonna be so much of confusion the ways we are gonna dress and look that we would need to put before the name tag what we identify ourselves as, besides our name.

LOL.....

Oh, man! I agree Kota is funny. I liked him in Saamy.

....to your original question:

I don't think men [while taking care of babies at home] will develop the same sense. It has to do something with hormones not the right or left halves of the brain and giving birth to a child: in which everything turns lopsided.

As for the gay man, they are more in touch with the feminine side but one won't call them mother, right?

Dear [whatever your name is],

Isn't the world coming to whatever you want to believe its coming to? Why should it be a pessimistic view of the whole gender issue? Why not see this as a chance for humanity to bloom?

God knows, we all need help in that direction.

Not Possible man! if that were true then every woman would be a Picasso and everyman a Shakuntala Devi ... or close.Reminds me of this really cool SMS i once recieved : "My brain is divided into two sides. The left has nothing right in it and the right has nothing left in it"

In old times … I guess as a result of the division of chores at home, the women were given the role of nurturers and care takers, while the men had to be hunters and gatherers.

Don't know if i slept thru a history lesson ... but i believe women were entrusted with the tedious task of "gathering" ... thats why we're so addicted to shopping and so good at it too. thats also where we get our keen sense of observation . Its all about being perceptive ie keeping your eyes open and your ears de-waxed.

Ah ! what the world is coming to !!

HAHAHAH... and the world is going to be our Japanese Anime .



Just admit it ppl it just takes lotsa analytical skills to figure stuff out like that. don't shroud it under the pretext of Sixth sense ! After all what is human behaviour if not a resultant of sme really complecated equations working simultaneously ... Its meta-advanced mathematics boys .

Men and Women are different... Read this funny bit... (NOT CONNECTED TO THE TOPIC)



~Badmash~

------------------------------------------------



Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at Southern Methodist University:



In-class Assignment for Wednesday:



Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his other immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached. The following was actually turned in by two of my English students, Rebecca [last name deleted] and Gary [last name deleted.] "





START



At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favourite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.



Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his trans-galactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off, a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.



He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth -- when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.



Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Au'udrian mother ship launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenceless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow'em out of the sky!"



This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent.



Yeah? Well, you're a self-centred tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.

Bitch.

LOL......... typical man/woman ladai too, huh !?

[Mayavi Morpheus]

Talking about mothers sixth sense, I got this in email:

THE INDIAN MOM
Mom comes to visit her son Kumar for dinner...who lives with a girl roommate Sunita.

During the course of the meal, his mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Kumar's, roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between the two, and
this had only made her more curious.


Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Kumar and his roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Kumar volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you,
Sunita and I are just roommates."

About a week later, Sunita came to Kumar saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the silver chutney jar. You don't suppose she took it, do
you?" "Well, I doubt it, but I'll email her, just to be sure."

So he sat down and wrote :
Dear Mother, I'm not saying that you 'did' take the chutney jar from my house, I'm not saying that you 'did not' take the chutney jar. But the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love,
Kumar

Several days later, Kumar received an email from his Mother which read :
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with Sunita, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with Sunita. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her OWN bed, she would have found the chutney jar by now.
Love,
Mom.

Lesson of the day ..... Don't Lie to Your Mother...!!!!!

[daughter/mom]

Yes, it is true that my mother knows even before I begin to contemplate doing something just as I know when my children begin to, too.



My extra sensories started working off as soon as I had my first one.. his needs and all, even in my sleep I would know and wake up and attend to it !

It still surprises me, though!

Such a need of my child must have brought forth those extra sensory perceptions from within, I guess.. and will work its time out until all my children are settled and I feel comfortable with their lives..?

maybe.



but, my eldest asks, "Mom, how did you get to know !?" and I would say," nee talli ni, nanna.".. just as my mom used to say to me

[azazel]

so, is it women in general or just Mothers' with ESP?

[Mona Lisa Smile]

HAHAHAHA....

Like I said this was only a theory. If we all do have a brain, we must be Einsteins. Right?



Anyways this would make for some pretty good reading material (where he actually disproves what I had said earlier.)

Interesting website Mona. Very informative... and an interesting read.



Right brain.. left brain... no brain(Salman khan; one of his kind) how does it matter. We know there is no hiding stuff from women. They will get at it.



If they cant make it out themselves they will get it out of you. They just keep repeating "Whats wrong.. Honey"?... "Whats the matter.. son?"... till you spill it out or lie. But you cant lie beacuse they know how you lie. so the best option is spill it out.



I say... If someone is so determined at knowing whats betheirng you. I think they deserve to know. Atleast be happy that someones worried that you are hurting, and they want to do something about it. (With that Badmash becomes mushy mushy... and flashes a smile )



azazel: No its not just the mothers.. its the women kind in general. So be carefull around them; they know what you are thinking...

If you think I dont know how to spell... try keeping up with my thought(s) !

[hokie]

I donno if you started this topic to have fun. the articles posted were pretty good and i liked the SMS message ("..the left has nothing right in it..." ) and the one about not messing with mothers.



Fun apart,

It is a widely accepted fact that, the left side of the brain controls speaking, reading and writing in most people. And the right side of the brain controls creativity, imagination, spatial judgement, good mental 3-D imagery and maybe the 'unconscious'. But then it does not depend on whether you are a man or woman.



It is supposed to depend on what your 'right' hand is (or may be the other way round). I mean whether you are left handed or right handed. Lefties are supposed to be stronger (perhaps bigger.. but i'm not sure) in the right side of the brain and right-handers are said to have bigger left part.



Thus common strengths left-handed children exhibit are creativity, imagination, spatial judgement and good mental 3-D imagery, whilst they are supposed to be slow in developing hand-eye co-ordination, manipulative skills, and reading/writing directionality.



When I say this, you will ask me why all lefties are not einsteins. I didnt say all lefties will have same size of the right brain. So, all of them may not be that famous. But if you look back, Leonardo DaVince, Picasso, Albert Einstein, Beethoven, Lewis Carroll, Benjamin Franklin, Henry Ford (and the list goes on...) were all lefties.



Too bad I'm a right hander. But then you cant choose.



So, in my opinion, if you are not born with it, it doesnt matter whether you are a boy or girl. If you focus your mind towards the body language of others you can surely judge what kind of a person he is.



Ofcourse, intuition comes with experience also. So, mothers are sure to have them. And then, mothers are special, so, they may have been gifted with the power of intuition.

[whatzINaNAME?]

frankly speaking, i find it difficult to assume that average woman in general is more intuitive than an average man or that they understand others' emotions better or they have more of sixth sense or any such thing. reasons for my view: empirically i have not observed any evidence myself to support such notion. secondly, from all the books, articles, agony aunt columns i have been thru' , electronically and otherwise ( incl. the much-touted "men from mars...") i feel i can safely conclude that they dole out as much prescriptions to women regarding how to please/ attract/ excite him, how to read his mind, how to understand him etc. as they to men regarding such things and i have never come across any suggestion that women r better intuitive or anything. in fact, all of thse relationship experts tend to converge upon the theory that both men n women r equally prone to being victim of their own gender-typical thinking which does not allow them to see things in their proper perspective or proportion (and they must be thanking their stars, planets to b more accurate- mars and venus- for this which earns them their bread) and which challenges relationships. men want sex, women love, men slave of ego, women of emotions, men physical, women verbal etc. - i agree to certain extent but not on the intuition part. anyway thanx asli_badmash for kicking off this meaningful discussion.
