I've been mulling over this idea in my head...men are instinctual, and women analyze a lot. Women may be more understanding than men BECAUSE they are more communication oriented, but men just do. Therefore, with the notion that men just follow their gut and don't let "what ifs" get in their way - wouldn't they actually be more intuitive than a woman? Or what I mean is have more success with their intuition than the average woman does?

some men are more intuitive than others, some women are more intuitive than others...

^^;

I wouldn't say either is more intuitive than the other.

And, intuition usually implores a good deal of deductive reasoning, it's not pure 6th sense action... anyone who has shared the ride to a new location with a gentleman knows exactly how great following their "intuition" can be. After asking if they want to use the map for the 6th time or begging them to let you ask for directions for over two hours straight... lol "No, I know it's this way! I don't need a map!!!"

>.>; "we've passed that gas station twice already..." =x

I love male intuition~ lol

(just pokin' fun.)

men are more impulsive... generally.
But, that doesn't always amount to being anywhere near intuitive. Women do tend to ponder (multiple) things all at once more often than men, which allows them to use their reasoning in an "intuitive" fashion, but it isn't anything mystical, just a bit of instinct mixed with rationality.

I don't believe intuition equals thoughtlessly reacting to a situation, it is quite the reverse, where your thoughts are tuned in, focused so strongly, that everything processes together to create a sort of... "sense" of what to do or what will happen or what has happened... whichever...

we say it is a feeling, but the feeling comes from the thought.

I believe age makes one more intuitive, not gender. And, in my own humble opinion, parents tend to gain more intuition with age than those without children, grandchildren... The intuition and sagacity of elders is sometimes frightening. The two things go together, wisdom and intuition... I've met a lot of foolish people who would say they were reacting on intuition... but what did their intuition predict and when was it ever accurate? lol folly~

Everyone can be intuitive... we just have to trust our instinct, and learn from our mistakes, educate and familiarize ourselves with everything life has thrown at us.

But, nono...

I have a weird intuitive husband... I can credit it to his Sun-Neptune and Moon-Jupiter conjunctions by astrology...

intuitively guessing I was pregnant before a test kit would have been a plausible tool to find out. intuitively knowing where he was in a different country in the middle of the boonies of Appalachia. lol And, as always... knowing intuitively... guided by his weird Sagittarian stomach, no doubt... where to find some great dining in the oddest locations!~ kekeke

But, he's completely dense most the time, so I won't stroke his ego too much for his amazing senses... lest it go to his ginormous head. ^^; I'm like, "hey, you... guy. Yeah, good job finding that awesome gyro place." *pat on the back*

lol we're strange... >.<;

(oh... of course the spiritually intuitive require tuning into their nonphysical senses more, but the need for reflection/introspection, pause/meditation... thought... it's still there, eh.) *^^*

Sometimes I think women's emotions (or even wishful or wistful thinking) get in the way of their intuitive flow, and therein lies the problem. Men as a whole tend to do less of this and take things as they come or as they are..

I hear what you are saying and agree.....but then on the otherhand I think the opposite. So maybe there is a masculine and feminine kind of intuition....

I swear I have read something by Osho about men's intuition...i will look into it because I found it interesting, but cannot remember enough to give you the gist of it.

I think intuitioin works best when one's emotions & feelings do not get in the way to muddy it up.

...i want to say what I read was talking about how intuition in men is very 'survival based'. and therefore they often act quicker and on their first gut feeling - which is ususally the best one.

I think the most intuitive people are able to look at things and sense them from a more centered veiwpoint and to step outside of themeleves and their egos and not allow what they want to interfere with what IS. ....if that makes sense.

I can see men having an easier time with this - or women who approach life with a more masculine state of mind - not colored by lower ego and emotions.

No, I personally dont believe in the type of "intuition" that most people do. I believe men and women are both clueless for the most part. The problem is women think they can read minds and expect men to read theirs. Sorry to disappoint you ladies but we cant.

aquaguy, her question was about intuition in men and women and the differences. It was not about mental telepathy or mind reading, or someone wishing to read the opposite sexes mind. I didnt get the idea it was in reference to relationships either. Did she say anything about reading men's minds or wishing guys could read women's? No.

Intuition is not mind reading, or mental telepathy.

& I don't think this topic needed to be moved to the Adult "mature content" forum that focuses on topics such as suicide, abuse,losing a child, mental health issues, sex etc.

ETA: and if you thought this had to do with relationships, then you should have moved it to Soul Unions.

I don't think either gender is particularly intuitive. But women have long been linked to the moon which is associated with mysticism so that there's a subconscious prodding to see women as more mystical and thus intuitive.

I actually hate the common advice of "trust your instincts." Too many men AND women are either way too paranoid or naive to "trust their instincts." Both genders make a habit of getting it wrong in other ways as well. People can develop accurate instincts, maybe even be born with them, but most people really should question their instincts rather than embrace them as automatically true.

T, read the forum description. Part of the description reads" the differences between men and women".

Fine.

Now you read the original post. The thread wasnt about mind reading. Or anyone expecting anyone else to read another's mind.

You should not use this thread as another opportunity to ***** about what you think women are expecting men to do for them.

I personally trust my instincts. I often feel things on an instinctual level and go with it.
I'd probably be one of the people who gives this advice lol

Fire/Water placements would be more likely to go with gut feelings and instincts.
Air/Earth are more analytical.
