- logandurand, on 08/03/2008, -0/+37Honesty and openness are the only means by which one should resolve conflicts in relationships, if that isn't satisfactory then he/she isn't worth being with anyway. Resorting to such tactics is pathetic.
- MendotaLee, on 08/04/2008, -2/+31Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?
- liah, on 08/03/2008, -1/+30I never understood why everyone thinks that relationships are always about who plays the "headgame" the best. The best relationships are ones where you're just yourselves, no games, just honesty and openness.
Yeah, people fight. It happens. Let it happen. There's a reason for it-- and if it proves to be too much, then the relationship isn't right and you need to move on. That's about all there is to it. Really. - Vich, on 08/04/2008, -2/+30I disagree, they're irrational. They have the upperhand in arguments because they ignore reason.
- LongShlong, on 08/03/2008, -8/+32Win via forfeit? That's a load of *****... And besides, there's a big difference between discussing/debating something and arguing. Most dumb American girls will think anything slightly on the bounds of debate is an argument. That's the only noise before the battle you need to decide if you're going to give her the heave-ho (rather, hoe).
- Picard102, on 08/04/2008, -5/+27Women are better at arguing? *****.
- jayrok, on 08/03/2008, -0/+21"You guys.. could you stop fighting.. My parents used to fight.. and then my stepfather tried to make out with me..! "
- gobbleplex, on 08/04/2008, -3/+24Better at "emotional argumentation"? Absolutely.
- dupswapdrop, on 08/04/2008, -6/+26I always win because I shut up, I walk away and she says I don't fight fair because she always says things she has to apologize for and I don't. The world is your oyster if you learn a little self control, as most people can't control themselves at all these days.
- diceau, on 08/04/2008, -1/+20Women are tactical geniuses? Stereotypical sensationalist garbage relevant only on TV shows.
Go away. - inactive, on 08/04/2008, -3/+21Go on...
- solesoul, on 08/03/2008, -3/+19I've only met 3 or so women in my personal life who knew the difference between a disagreement/argument and a fight.

- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -0/+12The summary is sexist *****, no need to read any further.
- sodade, on 08/03/2008, -1/+13Interesting topic, but the article was pretty lame.
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -2/+12And seeing as how you're on Digg, those 3 women would be your mom, aunt, and grandmother.
- digitdean, on 08/04/2008, -1/+11Exactly. They're fantastic at winning arguments, but generally pretty poor at arguing.
- hollyminkowski, on 08/03/2008, -5/+12I fail at arguments. I descend into tears in just a few moments, and refuse to say a word after that.
- paulsabo, on 08/04/2008, -2/+9The only valid point is the last one - make sure you're putting some effort into your relationship and you're good to go. If it takes anything more than that to avoid fights, get a new girl.
- boydrew, on 08/04/2008, -5/+11F*** woulda helped if this had been up an hour and a half ago.... =P
- arobicha, on 08/04/2008, -2/+8There's no such thing as "debating" in a relationship, unless it's in an academic situation. You have a view, she has a view; whether you agree to differ the decision to a later date or compromise, you've got to come to an agreement which will involve discussing your opinions openly. An argument happens when the discussion unearths strongly differing opinions which require dramatic changes to one person's view. You live in a society where men are expected to compromise because we're not expected to care, or our cares are somehow viewed as unimportant.
You can "debate" a point all you want, but if you play devil's advocate a little too convincingly, she'll want to discuss that point of view in more detail, and indifference means that you don't consider the point an important issue. This comes from a man who just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut. I can debate circles around my fiancee, but I never win. Save the fancy footwork for things that matter, or she'll always be on the defensive; trust me, You DON'T want that. - opticalnoise, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6This is pretty dumb. Yet another "the woman is the best so kiss her ass" article. Buried.
- JustinTX, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6Half page article of non-information split into two pages. Buried.
- opticalnoise, on 08/04/2008, -1/+6Agreed. Totally biased "women are the smartest and you are an idiot" nonsense.
- Evolutuon, on 08/04/2008, -2/+6And above all, have an exit strategy.
- noblestrife, on 08/04/2008, -3/+6Alot of the points are useful. In a debate, that is.
If I get into a argument with a woman, I try to keep my cool but basically ride it out. - terminal157, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4That term makes being unreasonable and vicious sound like something dignified.
- Justice101, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4Having a nice conversation with yourself?
- liah, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3When did I mention violence... :( I was talking about petty arguments, withholding, etc.
Not that I don't agree. Abuse has no place in a relationship, physical or emotional. It is never okay. - Justice101, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3If no one ever fought any wars no one would be dead, but where would we be? Surrender is not an option yarrrr!
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2women are emotional tactical geniuses? what kind of pussy whipped world does this guy live in? if arguing with completely no logic, repeating the same things over and over, arguing for no partitular reason other than the fact that she is addicted to emotional chemicals, then yes women truly are the masters of it. women are truly geniuses at wars of attrition. they will do it over and over until they grind you down completely into dust. between two male friends or related males this sort of thing can never happen, if i tell him to shut the ***** up and he doesn't, im gonna punch him in the face. but in general, guys stop before you have to ask.
but of course as a man, one must be a bigger person than the woman, thats just how life works. we have to forgive and apologize even if we are in the right and im ok with that. besides, arguments with women are unavoidable because they simply need to argue to live. its one of the most primal needs of a woman, its like men and sex. a woman will argue with you like clockwork, and it's not necessarily related to their pms. they blame it on that because its very convenient and its a physiological condidtion so its more understandable. its really just an addiction to brain chemicals that are related when you argue, feel sad, and then make up.
also one of the problems plaguing modern relationships is that men believe that men and women can share equal power in a relationship. guess what, theres no such thing. women think they want equal power but they don't, because they prefer to be dominated. thats why it pisses them off so badly when you let them dictate the relationship. they only want tokens of power so they can feel in control and equal, but they don't actually want it. if there are women that are going to refute this last paragraph, i ask that you only do so if you prefer to marry men who are "less than you", let you dominate them, is a wuss. its not by accident that women general marry men who are better than them. - randumbusername, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2the only reason men are outmatched is because women have the law on their side.
if i go further i'd get called sexist so ill stop right there. - yahoofrom, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I'm a male. I also use tear technique to shut up my girlfriends mouth.
- inactive, on 08/04/2008, -2/+4Women are too emotional. Men need to be MEN and don't be tricked into the woman's devious tricks tests.
- Neorio, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3If you have to fight - she doesn't respect you anymore. Call it quits on her.
- smurfsahoy, on 08/04/2008, -0/+2I think you're forgetting a little something called "disease."
- jmantra, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3Get out of your parents' basement loser.
- jimmiss, on 08/04/2008, -1/+3If that is code for withholding sex then yeah.
- Evi1d33d, on 08/04/2008, -2/+4Just slap that bitch in the face and tell her to get back in the kitchen.
- Sloi, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1They win arguments because you want a moist hole in the evening.
- gogog0, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2" women are tactical geniuses" hahahahahhahahaa. gold.
- Requeim, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1yep.. even i agree that disagreements are an imp part of any relation but then getting along the disagreements and mutually deciding on.. is what relation is all about..
dont u think so??
if every relation was working perfectly without any disagreements... then there wud have been a perfect world!!!
http://www.healthpoints.info - colonelbuckshot, on 08/04/2008, -1/+2Arguing with your woman has little to do with the subject at hand. It's mostly about her gaining the upper hand over you.
- davidhasselhoff, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1period.
- Luke1h7, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Askmen.com is gay.

Go straight to 2:20 if you wanna know why guys can't win an argument with a girl. - Vladamir, on 08/04/2008, -2/+3Are you... female?
- darny, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1"or I want a little somethin' somethin' later on that night."
you're disgusting.
my original comment was going to be:
"...avoided arguments simply by appeasing her."
You know, Hitler was also appeased right up until the beginning WWII. - dime, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1"Recognize first that every fight is effectively a civil war. Your girlfriend is not an enemy combatant and she is not your adversary. And, any damage you do to your relationship is ultimately damage that you do to yourself. In the end, you both want the same thing, which for her to hear that she is right, you are wrong, and for you to apologize for mundane "mistakes" like leaving a beer bottle on the coffee table."
Fixed. -
