To understand women, you must first understand emotions. For men, this is a tricky and sometimes dangerous undertaking.
- There are three types of emotions: Identities, Relationship Roles, and Wants/Needs.
- Each and every emotion a person has ever felt in their life is running concurrently, either actively or on standby, like programs resident in computer memory, until it can be fulfilled, or its original intent invalidated.
In lay terms, everything that is important to a person is tied to an emotion. The passion of a particular emotion can only be measured by the passion felt upon its impending denial.
For example, in Ticket Master, each of the other Ponies wanted to attend the Gala, each for their own reason (each driven by a specific emotion). A single Need drove Applejack: Granny needs a new hip. By contrast, two Identities and a Role drove Rarity: to be recognized for her inherent worth as someone special (Identity), to become a princess (Identity), and to be loved by a prince (Role).
For women, it doesn't matter how true or false something is, or how something works. Only things of importance matter. Everything they do is to fulfill an emotion, or to activate the passion of it by simulating its denial.
Rarity running out of the house upon Opal's imprisonment in the tree is an example of behavior motivated by a Role, the passion of which was activated by threatening the other party in the Relationship.
Men who don't understand emotions cannot understand why women often act in contradictory and self-defeating ways, or why women say things are "complicated."
Congratulations; you now know more about women than most men. |
