Do you think women (or even men too) pay too much heed to their "women's intuition?" It's happened to me quite a lot. I'm a nice guy but being a salsa teacher women artificially generate this "gut instinct" that I'm this sleazy player. Nothing could be further from the truth! I'm looking fir a long term relationship that will hopefully lead to marriage.
Have you noticed that trend too? Are women too much a slave to their instincts? Do they ignore a ton of logical evidence just because they feel an ounce of instinct?
Oh, and stories of people's success with instinct just make it worse. I don't want to hear how your mom tried to fix you up with the preacher's son and your gut instinct told you he was no good. Then you found out that ge was a devil worshiper.
I would MUCH rather hear stories about people who found that their gut instinct was WRONG!
EDIT: AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I only cited my experience as an example. I'm not asking for advice. I want to know what you think about women's intuition. Is it real or are women confusing assumption with intuition?
Maybe you are reading them wrong? Maybe they just don't want to date a dance teacher that is touching other women all day long. Do they come flat out and say that you seem sleazy? And sometimes outside people see in you what you don't see in yourself yet.

If anything I think they don't listen to it enough. I think they let their emotions take over and that's what they usually end up listening to. Not their head, not their instincts, their emotions. Your instincts will never steer you wrong. Your head, your heart, your emotions, yes, they can.
Something tells me a great many people don't know the difference between their instincts, their head and their emotions. It takes a lot of insight...mistakes...learning experiences to get it and even then it's not that easily acknowledged or trusted.
I think you are right about people not knowing the difference between their head, emotion, and instinct. But I don't think that instinct is always right either. That presumes some mystical "knowing." That your subconscious mind is somehow knowledgeable of things you couldn't find out immediately. While it's true that your subconscious mind can pick up on subtle signals and process them much quicker than your active mind can, it doesn't have the capability to process information it hasn't received yet. So it can most certainly be wrong on occasion.

That's not gut instinct when women think you are sleazy player. That's just an assumption based on a small number of facts about you.

THANK YOU - that's what I've been trying to say
