Yes Mary mary....I think you may be right there. Amazing how it is in seconds that you assess the person or situation and make a judgement on that though isn't it....aren't we clever!!!!!!!!

Hi Sal Can't give you any precise examples, but I learnt a long time ago to trust my initial instincts .......... Many a time I went against them and was proved it was the wrong thing to do. Now I always listen to my intuition and instincts and they have not let me down since :O))

Glad to hear that Mc Anne.....I think all us females need damned good basic instincts! Not many replies from many males, would love to know whether they get the same gut feelings about things, I know that my hubby doesn't.... Take care and listen to those feelings.... Sal xx

I'm pretty sure they do Sal - but I just think they allow their logical mind to 'override' it more than we females do. Come on you guys out there - come tell us what you think on this subject. :-)) Mary p.s. I'm even like it with total strangers in the street!! I just know I will/won't like that person without ever even having spoken to them! lol.

Hi Sal I'm afraid I trust people too much and have no instinct whatsoever regarding friends and aquaintances, unfortunatley it has let me down on numerous occasions and I have been let down badly. I do make friends too easily and then find out that some of them are not friends at all. Now on the other hand when it comes to my nearest and dearest family I seem to have that instinct. If they are sick I seem to know and usually ring them before they ring me. My husband never tells me when he is not well but I always seem to know wether it's his body language or my instincts I am not sure My husband is just the opposite to me he has great instincts and doesn;t make friends easily, but the friends he does have are true friends. His insticts on people are usually right and has told me on numerous occasions (I told you so) Oh well I don't think I will every change that's the way we are I suppose. Take Care Regards' Jackie

Hi Sal, Yes I do, I have on many occasions had a gut instinct and found it to be right, I didn't take a lot of notice at first, like if I had to make a decision I would 'know' which was the right one, but then some instincts scare the h..l out of me, but everyone has been right and I only wish now I had spoken up about some of them.
