Am I the only one that has had constructive, logical arguments with a gf/wife and won?

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

no, i'm happy to put my head above the parapet and admit i am not manly enough to fail in every conversation/argument with my SO.

[–]Vivrenoctem 2 points3 points ago

No. As a logical girlfriend, these things make me sad.

[–]tallandlanky 15 points16 points ago

Yes.

[–]Ryusaikou 4 points5 points ago

My wife accepts that I know a ton more on 100x the subjects she knows... I in turn allow her to be right about the things I do not know about. It is a really progressive relationship. Its simple really, If you are not 100% sure you are giving accurate information keep your damn mouth shut, eventually she will accept that you are right 100% of the time.

[–]throawawayaccnt 6 points7 points ago

Nope, I do it all the time. Especially by keeping extremely calm and if she starts yelling I say something like "there's no need to get angry, we'll talk through this but if you can't control yourself I'm not having this conversation" Bam. Instantly in complete control, and she feels childish.

[–]CheeseAttack 3 points4 points ago

I did that once and she just got more and more pissed.

[–]throawawayaccnt 5 points6 points ago

One other thing that works for me is explicitly laying out her side of the argument, like perfectly stating her point of view and how it makes her feel and why she's upset, and going "Right?" - I do this at work too, people are caught off guard and just go "...Yeah..", all the anger kind of dissipates into surprise - and then I say something like "Ok that's all understandable and I'm sorry you're feeling like that right now, but here's what I'm thinking and here's why I need your help to get your problem fixed"

Worked with my last gf anyway.

[–]lazybutter 1 point2 points ago

Well, you see, you need to have a girl that is understanding and patient and doing all of this VOLUNTARILY in order to experience the promised land of "equal ground."

[–]shiny_shiny 7 points8 points ago

There is no reason or excuse to blame all women just because you consistently choose irrational women to be your partner.

[–]lazybutter 0 points1 point ago

whoa, who said all women? I'm saying the chances are against me according to life experience. I would say all women, if I have met everyone currently alive and judge each one as so.

[–]CRAZYPAT123[S] -5 points-4 points ago

This man deserves an award

[–]Abomonog -2 points-1 points ago

I win every time. But I take the exact opposite tack. I say everything possible to get her to blow her top, and smile the entire time I'm doing it. I may even outright laugh and point at your anger, if I deem it foolish enough.

And if I get accused of doing something that I haven't done, you can be rest assured that I will then proceed to do it in the next few days, just so you can be right, lovey. :)

After a few tries they quickly learn not to even try to argue.

[–]JeriMouse -2 points-1 points ago

What men don't understand is that women let you win so they can cash in on it later... Just think about that...

Also, as a woman, I can confirm this.

[–]syntheticrhythm 44 points45 points ago

Yea! Humor from the 50s!

...

[–]nukefudge 1 point2 points ago

when will it become viable to report trite stuff like this?...

[–]shiny_shiny 31 points32 points ago

If you all seriously believe that all women are like this, then you are all picking shitty women and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

[–]loonsun 7 points8 points ago

I know, I always see these things about people getting in fights with their girlfriends over stupid shit, while I on the otherhand never fight with my girlfriend

[–]masterkenobi 1 point2 points ago

Does pregnant hormonal wife count? (I'm actually in the middle of an argument with my wife now...I think I'll be apologizing later tonight)

[–]livinglogic 5 points6 points ago

I came here to say this. If you can't find someone who can communicate at an adult level, then clearly you need to find someone new who can. No man (or woman) can be happy knowing that his opinion will always be overruled by the woman who claims to love him.

[–]krazay -4 points-3 points ago

Ooooor, they need to find the balls they turned in when they got a gf/got married...

[–]wheretheriverbends 7 points8 points ago

Please, tell me about your girlfriend?

[–]gyd9181 6 points7 points ago

HAHAHA IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WOMEN ARE UNREASONABLE... ಠ_ಠ

[–]HorkerPorker 2 points3 points ago

haha u can't argue with women. amiright guyz?.... guyz?.... anybody? douche.

[–]HowieLichtenfelter 4 points5 points ago

Women be shopping!

[–]PresidentCleveland 3 points4 points ago

You cannot stop a woman from shopping!

[–]DirtySketel 4 points5 points ago

Lol aren't women shitty people incapable of reason lololool

[–]ohkatey 10 points11 points ago

HAHAHAHA FUNNY BECAUSE WOMEN ARE DUMB.

[–]asshatnowhere 7 points8 points ago

i think whats its trying to say is not that women are dumb but that a man is always put down when arguing with a woman. i dont get it though, i have never really seen this happen. its just a case of 'i have shitty taste, date crazy girls and then blame an entire gender for'. this applies to both genders.

[–]shiny_shiny -2 points-1 points ago

If you had ever been to twox, you would know that we are more than capable of laughing at ourselves. You know what you won't find on twox? Posts bashing men. Think about that for a minute.

[–]ohkatey -4 points-3 points ago

HAHAHA THAT WOULD BE SO FUNNY IF IT WERE TRUE.

[–][deleted] ago

[–]ohkatey -5 points-4 points ago

whoah, cry me a river. it certainly looked like you were talking to me. i'm sorry i misunderstood but i think you're a bit defensive yourself.

[–]shiny_shiny -1 points0 points ago

Ignore that trolling dicktard. While you are living your normal, productive life, he will be masturbating/crying in his mother's basement.

[–]Headchopperz 1 point2 points ago

ironic how your comment just supports this whole thread

[–]shiny_shiny -1 points0 points ago

How so?

[–]Headchopperz 0 points1 point ago

Because it has no point, its just you stating something which is obviously false. Everyone who reads it knows its false.

Furthermore its nothing short of offensive, and while you picture him as a troll and downsize him because of it, you then go on to troll him in the next sentence.

Its illogical.

How can you argue with someone who blatantly makes stuff up...

You either put no thought in your post, or your very emotionally caught up.

[–]yakityyakblah -5 points-4 points ago

Woah now, I hate this shit being posted on here but "dicktard" is a pretty offensive thing to say as well. Don't sink to that level.

[–]s0beit -1 points0 points ago

So many downvotes, so much defensive posting. OP's image does not imply women are wrong or men are right a majority of the time, yet somehow this is how people interpret it.

[–]Jrex13 1 point2 points ago

They hear what they wanna hear Keith.They hear what they wanna hear...

[–]dual-moon 3 points4 points ago

Misogyny and sexism on Reddit? I am SO surprised!

[–]CraftOfWord 0 points1 point ago

This chart is the reason why I'm gay.

[–]kawaiigardiner 1 point2 points ago

The best tip I got from my uncle was this: "The last thing you say will be the first thing she'll remember". Say your piece then walk away.

[–]anonymuscles -2 points-1 points ago

Being able to have that battle in the first place is often worth never being able to win, though

[–]dmgd -3 points-2 points ago

The only winning move is not to play.

[–]PoopinWhileIMadeThis -3 points-2 points ago

As I opened this, I thought "this is gonna be about a woman". Was not disappoint

[–]khdutton -4 points-3 points ago

Going to battle was your first mistake.

[–]apextek -4 points-3 points ago

I've figured out how to win fights with woman.

1 make absolutely no sense. pull things at random, put stubborn pride in front of logic.

2 act like you are not well balanced in the brain.

after a short while the woman will think you are one of them and realize they are wasting energy fighting with a wild Tasmanian devil in-capable of reaching any logical consensus.

this is where you win, the woman, now backs down because they realize, you have taken their own approach, and now have no idea how to beat you, because you are using their own game.

[–]CullenDM -2 points-1 points ago

Wanna win? Be gay.
