OK, seriously, though: I tend to have strong feelings, articulate them, analyze them, adjust, rinse, repeat. Ultimately, after a long series of doing that in regards to a decision/dilemma, I will then check my current feeling and go with that. Analyze it, adjust, repeat. hehe I was telling someone on this forum this morning, actually! I make a lot of feeling-based decisions, but usually only after a lot of analysis. (INFP^nth)
Amazing how every woman think they're a mixture of emotions and logic, but reality really just tell something differently. Women are primarily emotional. All people are emotional and logical, but some people are more logical or more emotional.

Yes, everyone is a bit of both, but people on the internet like to pigeonhole men as logical and women as emotional, when reality isn't so simplistic. The guy who wants to punch the man talking to his girlfriend isn't operating from a place of logic. Neither are the men who set fire to cars because their team won/lost a playoff or the man who tailgates the car in front of him because it cut him off. And women are perfectly capable of weighing the pros and cons of a situation and making a decision without crying.

What makes you feel that women are mostly emotional? What evidence do *you* have that this is true?
Women do tend to have larger corpus callossums. It helps the right and left sides of the brain communicate. So, while you're busy trying to figure out whether we're emotional or logical, we're just over here synthesizing it all. It helps us with things like feeling and thinking at the same time, and even allows us to have proper grammar and spelling while doing so.

Men and women are a mixture of both. Women just tend to express their emotions more.
There was an interesting study done on this subject;
'sex differences in emotional experience are not as pervasive as the stereotype suggests. Men
and women do not differ dramatically in their immediate reports of emotional
experience, even in contexts that are differentially relevant for men
and women (control vs. intimacy). This finding raises the possibility that
women’ s ``greater emotionality’ ’ is a culturally constructed idea, based on
observed differences in emotional expression differences which are
socialised from a very early age.'
I'm more driven by emotion in everyday life. Everybody says I'm very intuitive (honestly, I'm still not sure what that means). But that gets locked down pretty quick when the s*** hits the fan. Then it's all logic.
Two other thoughts:
1) In general, illogical behavior drives me NUTS.
2) Logic and emotion are not mutually exclusive.
