When you guys are arguing with your girlfriends/wives, do you ever feel like you just made the most badass point ever, and then she just says something completely stupid ******** ridiculous and your point is wasted? And you're just like, "HUH WHAT?"
I've been with my current for awhile, and blocked out a lot of my past relationships so I don't really have a base of reference anymore.
Is it just me, or are women really just quite bad at arguing? I feel like I'll be talking about something, or say something pretty good to back myself up, and then her response won't even be relevant.
The thing is I can argue with a male friend and we can bullshot back and forth and no problem, it all makes sense, points are considered... it doesn't feel like bizzaro world.
Seriously. Come on. Anyone else?

Methinks you're violating rule #1 of relationships. Don't try to understand your woman. You'll fail. Always. ---

Dude, don't even bother trying. You can outskill in arguments all you want and it'll do you jack. Either you'll get illogical answers or even if your proven right it just makes them madder.
Arguments with girlfriends is a lose lose no matter what you do.

Some women live in a world that is their own reality and if anything doesn't fit into it, that anything doesn't exist.

My last girlfriend was a fellow mathematician, so this tended not to happen given our mindsets. It was actually worse in some ways, because she'd often beat me fair and square in an argument.

Dude, in a relationship the woman is always right, even if she's wrong. There is no point argueing no matter how strong your argument is. Relax, play Eve and have another beer.  ---

I would add 19th rule: 19. The male who manage to obey all the rules is also a wimp. So, in both cases we're screwed.

Wrong. There aren't any rules. That would imply some sort of logical thinking

This is why I dumped my last girl friend. She literally handed me a print out of some rules she found on the internet, which where very similar to these rules, and actually expected me to follow them. No, I'm not joking and she was serious. I dropped her like a rock on the spot. --- My cat Putter approves of this post. Be a Ninja! You know you want too: http://www.animecubed.com/billy/?Kravick |

Seriously. Come on. Anyone else?
You're thinking "HUH, WHAT?" when what should happen is you SPEAK. For instance, "What are you trying to say, because I'm not understanding where you're coming from on that" might be a good idea. You're just thinking about your own side of the argument, without considering what she's (or sometimes he) is trying to tell you, or whether she's (or he) is feeling an emotional response to something you previously said.
Some people, men and women, respond from an emotional base first, then once they've calmed down a bit, because they've been given the space and time to do so, begin to get their head together and are able to respond in a much more reasoned way.
Also, I think its really unfair to make such a sweeping statement about women. I've had plenty of arguments with people, men and women, where you feel you're butting your head against a brick wall because they're so caught up in their own side of the arguement they're incapable of listening to you or understanding that something they just said has poleaxed you into such an angry/upset place you're now responding from the gut instead of the head.
If that happens I wait a day or so when people have time to think about things then pick it up again, especially if its important.

Thing is most guys when in such an argument pretty much know they are being a pain in the arse and intentionally obtuse (exception are bible thumpers...there is just no talking with them whether male or female).
My personal, armchair psychologist, totally not backed up by any scientific theory or study whatsoever is men think in a linear fashion while women think in a circular fashion.
So, to a male,If A Then B and Then C. They follow in rational order and makes sense.
To a female If A and considering 2, @ & Q and what happened two years ago in a wholly unrelated incident you get G which has bearing on A.
Note I will say circular and linear logic can each have their good points. Just the two are oil and water so men and women never figure each other out. Particularly men cannot follow women. Women can get the "If A then B" part but they find that far too simplistic and are puzzled that the guy cannot follow their circuitous thought processes (which, frankly to a male, seem just shy of being actually insane).

Oh, women.
From my experience, just don't argue with them. Tell her that you disagree or that she is flat-out wrong, tell them why, then stop paying attention to her. They really hate it when you do that.

Agreed. My word, you nailed the point with that "what happened two years ago" comment. I can't speak for every woman, but I definitely do not live 'in the day' where my relationship is concerned. Its the whole deal from the start eighteen years ago, to now. I couldn't switch it off even if I wanted to.

Sounds very familiar. But it gets even better when it's breakup time and they didn't see it comming while you've been dropping hints for quite a bit. Once send This to her as a final " take a hint " thingy "

Women are crazy, that's pretty much all you need to know. Every single one, completely loony. They take things so far out of context it's frankly amazing.
You could just do what I do in regards to relationships with women, if you're having that much trouble.
