Men more often than women tend to show off their practical side because they feel that thats what let them make better decisions. I value rationality in anyone, but honestly think it makes people boring when they become too practical and I see more men belong to that club than women. Every decision is rational decision for them, and nothing is worth doing if its not practical enough. Even the low stakes decisions in life become rooted in practicality instead of you know…. just winging it and seeing how it goes. Its ok to make emotional decisions as well, and its ok to feel elated or dejected if that emotional decision pan out, but how much more boring is to make a decision thats so rooted in rationalism that there is nothing novel anymore to find out. We men could do better than just play that rational card all the time and learn to make emotional decisions that may or may not pan out. Its ok, its life not a math test.
