How Girls Think !

 

“It is impossible to understand girls” is a statement we all have heard. Well, I am not going to say anything or against it. I want to share an interesting phenomenon which may help boys understand girls’ viewpoint better. Not just that, it may help girls to understand themselves better. Years back, I had read a small post about something called “The Light Switch effect”. I am sharing it with you here as it is:

“Women use their emotional state to define reality.

When a woman feels an emotion, she uses this as her objective reality.

The decision she makes based on her reality may seem like total nonsense to a man, because she has determined her reality based on the only prime truth she knows: her emotional state. If she is sad, she tells you “you made me sad”. She didn’t decide her emotional state, you did. Changing her emotional state is outside the purview of her control and hence you are the culprit.

So, that means the emotional state she is experiencing means that you have done something to create that state, intentionally or not, it doesn’t matter.”

And hence no matter how much effort you have put previously, its negated in just a fraction of second.”

Now, I am not saying that the phenomenon is true for every girl/women out there. I know many who don’t display this light switch effect and are very objective. In fact, the effect is not necessarily limited to girls. All those who take decisions, or perceive world depending only on, how they feel, is more likely to be susceptible to the effect.

The post took the example in a slightly negative sense, however, a positive version of the same is also possible. Under the light switch effect, the decision is purely based on present state, it also helps people to forgive easily no matter how bad the mistake was or the number of times the other person has hurt before. It helps people to forget bad experiences of life and move on easily. This can be an enviable strength to possess, especially in the modern world. 

So, on one hand the effect can have a positive and useful application, it can also make people more gullible to the cunningness of the world. Hence, be aware and you will not fall into the trap of your emotions easily.

So, what do you think? Have you also experienced this with someone you know? Comment below and let us know!
