That's an OXYMORON if I ever hear one using rational and women in the same sentence.

It would be like using the word intelligent and Man in the same sentence (again, an oxymoron), if you know what I mean??

:-D

That's the fun, LH. Since we aren't hunting-gathering anymore we need antagonize the women in our lives. Otherwise, all that unused energy would go to much more destructive things.

AmyG is rational. (help, she is hold a gun to my head) She always makes sound decisions. (help, she's making me type this) I am the luckiest guy in the world.

Hmmmmm ... what difference does it make. A better question is, "Are there any non-whining people left in this world?"

Or 11 seconds. Hey I'm vegging here, not doing math homework!

Where are the census takers? How many people are actually rational? Should we take their word for it or does Lyra have a quiz for this?

NOOOOOO!! this is a nightmare! i can't believe this is happening to me. no HTML?? (hee hee!)

by the way, i got 70% on that quiz. "A high score reveals an outlook that is rational and logical. A low score reveals an "emotional" or easily-influenced perspective."

i thought i'd get like a 1%! i wish i could be more rational sometimes...either that, or be able to see into the future.

I got 70% too. Maybe everyone gets 70%. That was too opaque. We need a really tricky quiz.

I got a 60%, if that makes you feel better. I think my paranoid tendencies brought my score down though.

Plus, it's just a 10 question test. You can't do a proper personality inventory with so few questions.
bitpusher

I scored a 90%. I think this is less a test of rational behavior and more a test of how little you care about other peoples opinion

yeah, it sucks. i'm looking for something better...most of the quizzes i'm finding are Emotional Intelligence quizzes.

LOL! I was thinking the same thing, Hyway! Like bacpac would probably score 100% and be asking for a bonus question.

Only One Left and she's mine!!!!
I know of 1 rational woman, Mrs Stalker. She let me hop on a plane, fly 2000 miles to hike/camp along the washington seashore for a week. Plus the fact that I was with her best friend (and husband) that she is missing dearly, since they moved to the PNW.

I may have to do the dishes one day this week. I know I will do them on Friday and knock out two birds with one stone.

Oh yeah, NG. You're perfectly rational. :)

Do you really want to be 100% rational?? Guys or gals? Is it irrational to play, to roll in the snow, to run and jump to laugh heartily? I think that people should worry less about being rational and just be. Most of the "irrational" behavior in women or men that I have experienced comes from individuals forcing themselves and others to a media inspired standard. Let's just play!!!!

That makes sense, Dhutch. But, you are being too rational. And, furthermore, you should thank me for such an irrational response.

I'll vouch for your rationality, newgirl! You seemed very rational on Montanapalooza even with Crazy Mike's influence around. Actually he's fairly rational at times.

Just took the quiz - 100% for me. No surprise.

I did not end up with one of the last rational women, and that's OK. Nothing wrong, IMHO, with one person being the rational, one the irrational; one the practical, one the emotional; etc.

[Psst, newgirl, ever get that black bean lasgne recipe together??....]
