Logical Apes?

The human being tends to think of himself as a rational, logical entity.

That is not so. A humans is the most emotional creature there is. Man lets his subconscious rule his conscious mind, after all, 90% of the decisions are made by the subconscious mind.

Think about it. People fall in love with people who are totally different from them. While the conscious mind would say 'hey, what are you doing here?', the subconscious is way more powerful. A guy I know fell madly in love with an ageing, chain smoking single mother. He just couldn't explain it. The same with phobias. Why do some people recoil in fear of spiders? Logically, the little critters can't harm us, everyone knows that. But, the subconscious says 'keep away, it'll do bad things to you.

Beliefs, religions are not logical. Think of cults, David Koresh, the Moonies and Kabbala. Irrational belief is required. If the cult requires suicide, bet you the followers would do it.

What is the biggest financial decision a person will ever make? Buying a home. Is it made on logic? Wrong! It's always an emotional decision. I was watching this home makeover program on tv, this couple were trying to sell a house in a certain area, and despite being on the market for 8 months, it didn't sell, even though other houses in the same are sold like hotcakes. The problem was that the interior was too garish, and the house was cluttered. The makeover team came in and re-painted the walls, re-carpeted using neutral colours, and de-cluttered the house.

Instead of selling the house for $155,000, it sold for $175,000 , even though only $2,500 was spent on furnishing it!!!

If the buyers had thought logically, they would have thought 'This house has been on the market for 8 months, the sellers will be desperate. I'll offer $145,000, re-decorate it the way I want rather that the way the make-over team wants. The value will go up by $30,000!!!! I can take all the clutter and hold a garage sale, making even more profit.'

But, people are emotional creatures.

So, if the biggest financial decision of a person's life is based on emotions, what chance do all the other, smaller decisions have???

How does this relate to seduction? Well, it further reinforces the line of thought that attraction is not a choice, and women can be successfully seduced EVERY TIME if the seduction artists can dictate and direct their emotions. Like everything else in life, seduction is not logical! It is whatever we make the woman believe it is.
