Official retraction: worst advice ever May 21, 2007

Posted by Niels in : Personal , trackback

OK, the last post really should have been titled, “Address the emotions, not the logic”. While it may be good advice for say, computer programming, “Address the logic, not the emotions”, is prettymuch a death sentence for a relationship. Thanks to everyone who read the content of the post and not just the title.

As a side note, I’m not trying to say that people are illogical, but rather that when someone is experiencing strong emotions, those emotions must be dealt with before logic is of any use.

i just presumed that “address the logic, not the emotions” was sarcastic, not a mistake.

While I agree that emotions should be dealt with before using logic and I knew that’s what you meant, I still don’t like your sexist attitude toward women. It’s like you think a woman needs her man to take care of her; a man taking care of a woman is fine as long as he’s doing it because he wants to, not because he thinks she needs him to or he has to like it’s his job.
