You needa see the new Beauty and the Beast movie! Lol, between the Beast and Gaston, hell even Belle's dad is hot... and, arguably, the candelabra.

Let's see, a topic.......

What is your criteria for when you allow emotion to trump logic or vice versa?

Hmm...I don't have any criteria for that. I trust my gut intrinsically. It leads me wrong a few times, but overall it always leads to great adventure.

One of the words in your question is triggering me...

 

[beachbaby179]

Not sure there IS any criteria for an emotional decision. You just sort of jump into those. There may be a moment of, "this is crazy. Logic says I should go the other way" but it just gets ignored.

 

[Paul_Chance]

I wouldn't say I have criteria, it's just more of a surge of emotion that overwhelms me and I think "fuck it, here we go".

I rarely allow emotion to overrule logic. When I do, it's usually because I'm in a weakened condition. If I've been ill, suffered a traumatic loss, or am physically and mentally exhausted from unrelenting stress, then emotion can take the driver's seat. The rest of the time it's just an annoying back seat driver that I ignore to the best of my ability.

I figured now would be a good time to jump in.

I don't think I have a set criteria. Sometimes my emotions are stronger than what my logic has to say about certain things, and so I act based on that. As it turns out, it may not always be the right decision, nor does it always get me what I want.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

Rarely do I let emotion outweigh logic. I'm good about establishing boundary lines, some are light and waver, others are as deep as the Grand Canyon that I won't cross. (Though I do contemplate my bridge building skills)
When stress is breathing down my neck and my patience is being tested, I don't bring anything new into the picture. I'm pretty good realizing timing is essential in my life.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I'm logical to a fault.
I cannot think of one instance where my emotions would trump my logic.

 

[Trekka]

So I'm the lone emotional train wreck, eh? Figures!

I think there's more ways to make a move or a decision than just emotion versus logic. I don't see those two things as polar ends of a linear continuum.

What about intuition? What about sociocultural norms? Policies and procedures? What about doing something a certain way because that's what someone else wants? Etc

But I think the point of this question is "what does one do when the head says no but the heart says yes?"

...well, at that point, I'd consult with God, a few trusted friends, a couple of well worn texts, and/or my tribe.

Possibly my vag. But she can't always be trusted.

What's logic? Is it that annoying system that merely allows one to be wrong with authority? If so, then I don't often let it get in the way of my gut instincts.

I don't see it as an either/or.

You can make a logical emotional decision.

Say you have a high paying job you hate and you leave it for a lower paying job you love.

I don't see that lerson as an emotional, illogical dreamer. They made a calculated decision, in which the positive emotions gained through their actions out-weighed the "logical" material gains. Emotion is simply one metric to factor into the logical decision. "Will I hate this? Maybe I shouldn't do it. Will I love it? Maybe I should."

See, I still call this logical.

 

[Lunation]

Then the question, I suppose, becomes: what would you call illogical?

 

[aussiegeekygal]

That's an excellent question.

I suppose when a decision is made without reason, and purely from an emotional standpoint.

 

[Lunation]

That's a good definition.

But I would say that's not an issue of emotion overpowering logic, but simply a failure to use logic at all. The two can't be in competition if one is absent.

This has always just struck me as a false dichotomy. We're thinking creatures. We just may weigh emotions with different value when making our calculations. And sometimes we don't spend enough time calculating.

But I don't see emotion/logic as either/or, personally. If you get to the point where you're thinking, "Should I follow my heart, or my head?" it's too late, because you're already using your head.

My 2 cents.

I don't disagree. We just pop in at different points on a very broad spectrum.

My handle of the English language is pretty pedantic, which causes some interesting debates. I define words quite differently to a lot of my counterparts, and it shapes the way my mind works. I'm married to a very emotional man who has emotional undercurrents in the way he defines language, and by extension the world, so I am learning to be more aware of this. I try to see as much of the world in black and white as possible, understanding that there is inevitably going to be a lot of grey areas. It's really interesting having to learn to be more flexible.

Oh how I love the grey areas of the world!!!

Pedantry is an old and dear friend of mine.

The interesting bit here, in my opinion, is that you *try* to see the world in black and white. In my experience there are those who see it that way and those who don't. Why aim one way over another?

[Paul_Chance]

Here is the conversation every man has experienced:

Paul's Brain: "You should be very cautious, this is nearly a complete stranger, you have no idea what you're getting into, be patient, gather more information and make a rational decision that is best for both of you on a broad spectrum of socio-cultural and values based factors."

Paul's Dick: "Dude, you're talking to yourself. Too late, I'm going in for round two."

Though, I am not sure that's an emotional decision. It is certainly an intuitive one.
