Is it really useless to reason with your wife?

Last night, I was lying in bed watching Lin Yutang's The Analects of Confucius, and I almost fell out of bed laughing. After lamenting Lin Yutang's humor, he began to ponder women's logic and way of thinking.

Men like to play with logical thinking, such as defining a concept first, then making inferences, and finally making judgments. Women are not so wordy and often "cut corners" and go straight to the point.

For example, the wife cooked a table of dishes, and the husband nagged while eating: "It tastes terrible, like pig food (clear concept). You can't put soy sauce in this dish, otherwise it will destroy the flavor ... In addition, I have already told you not to put Chili granules in cold dishes, which will make people numb ... Bah, is this rice or sand, and your teeth almost fell out (list the facts).

If you are a man, you will argue from such aspects as "soy sauce makes sense, pepper makes sense, and rice is actually not harder than sand", but women will not be so stupid. She would just say, "Are you going to eat? Go away if you don't eat. Yes, I cook pig food. That's why you are as fat as a pig. "

Well, indeed, this is the crux of the problem: "It's not delicious, I haven't seen you eat less." The man choked and rolled his eyes, and then shut up with discretion.

When we were at school, the school was inhumanely semi-militarized and had a holiday on weekends. There are indicators for the number of people going home, such as giving ten indicators. Those who get the indicators can go home, and those who don't get the indicators can only look at home and sigh. My home was away from home, and I didn't go back and forth enough for the whole weekend (it was a one-day rest and the speed was slow), so I never had a chance to go home. These indicators only apply to students living in local or nearby cities. Near the weekend, a girl got the index of going home and snorted with joy.

I asked her, "If I spend money on this indicator now, how much do you want to sell it?"

She looked at me and asked, "Why did you buy the home indicator? I can't go back. "

I said, "I'm just assuming."

She said, "What do you think is impossible?"

I said, "For example, my home is in the local area and I want to buy your index to go home."

She said, "When did your family move here?"

I said, "I haven't moved yet, I mean hypothetically."

She said, "What should you do if you don't move?"

I was so angry at once that I cursed the fool in my heart. It took me many years to find out that the real fool is me-this girl is actually deliberately avoiding the problem with me.

Women's rationality is completely different from men's. For men, rationality can often direct their actions, but for women, rationality is often just a game or an illusory concept. Just as we describe a fooling around child: "I know everything in my heart, so just do (read)."
