I think that's bullshit. I also think that to see the next century out, humans' only option is tokill 98 percent of male offspring with the remaining two percent of genetically pure (washed DNA) XX used soley for breeding purposes. So don't listen to me, llee, llee, I'm completely insane.

... Do you think their are differences in intuition between male and female? no

....Also do you believe Culture has an influence over intuition? yes

I said I wasn't sure if female intuition was inate or learned behaviour, im on the fence about it.

as for your insanity, im on the fence about that too.

I'm sorry, babe. I can be a thoughtless arsehole at times. I read three words of someone's post and I'm already retaliating. I think you're fabby.

I think both men and women are equally capable of tapping into their intuition but I think women recognize and cultivate it more than men simply becuase of the societal pressure on men to control their feelings.

Its cool

Intuition is gut feeling, plain and simple.

That's what I said. Damn girl, you so smart!

Sweeny79 said:

Intuition is instinct through learned experiences and deductive reasoning. Nothing more, nothing less. When we are right, its intuition....when we are wrong, then what is it?

Good decisions? Luck? Hocus Pocus?

Its all learned experiences, instinct, deductive reasoning, and actually thinking outside our naive little brains.

LleeLlee said:

That sounds about right.

There's sometimes a kind of magic behind it too though, that tips the scale. It's not just skill and subconscious reasoning, I think, even though that constitutes the bulk of it.

I have it watch out!

Intuition is paying close attention to details as a matter of habit, without paying attention to it, and then drawing conclusions based on what you've learned.

And what is it telling you right now?

I think so do you ever have that thing where someone asks you a question, and you begin to answer and by the end of it you think "how on earth did I know that?" and you wonder if you even got any of that right. and it turns out you were exactly right?
or is that just me!

interesting. hmm. well, i think there is far more going on around us than we are able to perceive. dogs can hear sounds we can't hear. and, there are worlds of color our eyes cannot process.

also, great portions of our brains are basically uncharted territory. we have no idea what goes on up there.


me personally, i think we have more than five senses. i think intuition is the ability to process information not obviuosly available through the other five senses.

then again, it could be some form of ancient read-only genetic memoryl.

to sum up, dunno. intuition is just that funny feeling you get sometimes first cousin to deja vu

my friend the neurolinguistics programmer, calls that the collective unconscious

I define it as your first instinct upon appraising a situation; what your brain tells you is true, based on experience, before any attempts to make dissonant cognitions consonant.

Number23 said:

to the extent that women are, in most cultures, relegated to a passive, or listening, role, they would necessarily become more sensitive to undercurrents, or able to intuit things more frequently. wouldn't they?

I think this is correct, sir.

I'm glad someone commented on it I was starting to feel neglected

Oh, speaking of the superiority of women:

its what sweeny said. i've always had it, but i've just started trusting it.

Exactly.
Like the guy who arrives at the local hospital, all shot up, needing medical attention, who was just "cleaning his gun"...or...."minding my own business"..

(what kind of gun were you cleaning aimed at yourself loaded?)

Logic fits in somewhere, somehow. Intuitive. Experience says a lot. The milisecond of what you know is true.

addendum;
It's that FIRST judgement you make, based on everything you know.

Time is the element. It's a quick response which you end up being "right" about.
Have no clue as to the contributing factors. Those who have street smarts seem to have a good judgement of character.
In some ways, it's a self protection mode. There's a signal somewhere that says "danger"

Mine kept telling me that my boyfriend was still seeing his ex. It was correct. She confirmed it. My only regret is not listening to it 1.5 years ago.

Intuition is something to be trusted, thats what it is

If it gets me hard I go for it.

How do you think culture influences Intuition?
