what would you rather follow?your heart or your brain?

I think I would rather follow my heart because I want to end up feeling happy. I think that people who don't follow their hearts are the cheaters. I know in my heart if I wasn't happy with the person that I am with then I would result in cheating, and then I would feel even more bad about myself because I did something slimy. The most important factor in following your heart is the opportunity to feel happy and not regret as the days or months passes by.

For me, i would rather choose to follow first my brain before my heart for the brain as we all know is placed above the heart. Also i do believe that sometimes the heart fails to distinguish reality from fantasy once it is blinded with love which would lead someone to his/her own downfall.

Well, when choose my love, I'll follow my heart, but before it, I think I must have a consideration in my mind. In this case, I could know the reason even when I choose a wrong girl.

You should alwayz follow your heart not your mind because your mind dont know what the possiblities can be only your heart would know who to be with....people alwayz saying that "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"....

Yup.. this is the case most of the time... times have changed and girls try to find a guy who is rich and financially stable...there can be 2 reasons for that...1. To acquire his status and 2. To support her family... the intention can be good or bad.... but this is not the case all of the time... true love exists and people do take decissions through their heart...

well, now-a-days people prefer to be practical, as we spend most of the time in our jobs, the way of thinking has dramatically changed, and we often think practically i.e. from mind.

It's hard to choose but it's better to follow your brain first before the heart. At least when you follow your brain, you won't get stabbed by emotional pains that a heart over mind would do. But as a girl, I know that I wouldn't force myself to marry someone that I don't like. :) Also, what if you're inlove with someone who can't even give you 3 meals a day, a good home, and a good life though you love him/her so much and he/she promises you that he will love you for eternity.... will you still follow your heart? :)

hello assircloudz! yes i think that most women do make use of their brains to be practical. but it can be hearts also to follow what you really feel and who you really love. in love situations, it doesn't need one. you can use both of them to help you decide what's really the best thing to do. ion the end, no matter who you ask, it will only be you who will do the decision.

Hi. I would follow my brain. There's a saying that your brain is placed higher than your heart because that is what you suppose to follow. Lol. In life, one should always be practical. When you follow your heart without thinking and your family go hungry not just your life but your childrens life would be ruin.

I will use my brain in deciding so I won't get fooled. It is a lot better when you decide it with open eyes and your mind is open to all the consequences..Yes, being practical is quit right for as long as you'll stand for whatever the come out.. Just chill and PRAY..

i would follow my brain over my heart, heart drive us to craziness and failure.

hi:) For me I'll choose to follow my heart, money and many material things wont make anyone happy if it's the only that they after in a relationship, anyway for sure we are both able to work to support our everyday needs, then perhaps save a little for our future.

I would say you should first learn how to evaluate things. Think of all the pros and cons concerning your situation. Balance them all and then you can decide on what to do. Our heart and mind are not used separately. They help each other to keep us alive. Our brain tells the heart to keep pumping blood towards the whole body. Our heart keeps the blood well-circulated in the whole body so the brain can still function properly. Its a matter of "what if's". Decisions are not easily done. And so a single (heart or brain) tool is not enough to have a decision. At the end of all decision, you just have to be responsible of whatever results your decisions may cause you. :)

Practicality does not always apply to every decision that we will be making in our life. I can say that I am using my practicality when I am buying foods. Instead of buying those branded and expensive food, I rather buy those foods who are cheaper but offers the same nutritious ingredients. With your question, I would rather say that we should not judge those people who used their practicality when it comes to love. They chooses to marry the person that they don't love because of money. They are just doing that because of their needs of money. I know someone who just marry a rich man because her mother is suffering from a cancer so for her to send her mom to the hospital, she needs to sacrifice herself by marrying the man she don't really love because they don't have money to sustain the treatment of her mom. I am not saying that I agree with this kind of practicality but I just view it on a positive way. If I am in the shoes of that woman, I will do the same thing. I will not think twice of deciding to do such.

I would say both. I am the one who easily falls for rich people but I would consider to get to know the man first. If we could talk then other things will be at second place. If he is an ego and rich man, I would not consider to get together with him.

Sometimes heart and sometimes brain.... it depends on the situation because if you only hear your heart then you will be emotional and if brain you will be thoughtful and both are not fair to have with. take care.

I would always follow my heart,but as I go along my brain would have to work side by side with my heart.For how can love survive on an empty stomach, how can one be really happy when she always has a broken heart, how can one appreciate the beauty of love when she feels its a one-way traffic always.I might get love-struck at first , but somethings must change for the better and for the glory of love.

hello, Practically speaking I will choose the mind because I know that it will benefit myself and my family. right? but if it is true love I can say that I will use my heart specially if I really love the person. But in my situation now I prefer to use my heart because I know that I really love my boyfriend now. LOL

For me, I would choose to follow my heart instead of being practical. The only thing that money can offer is the freedom not to worry about money. Relationship is more important for me. Money can be found since we have the intelligence and skills that we can use to find one but relationship and true love is hard to find. Secondly, I would be happy living a simple life with my loved one than to live a comfortable life devoid of love. Thank you for posting this interesting topic and for taking the time to read my post!

I think it was really depend on the situations and person who face these options. For the young lovers who are so much in love with their partners it was naturally when they dream of a fairy tale like relationship, where they think they can do anything for the sake of their love.And if their parents forbid them, eloping will now enter. But when it comes to people who are matured enough, definitely they follow their brains. But scientifically speaking, we always follow our brains. No need to discuss it further.
