" Would you rather be right or happy?" This is why I do not argue!

Steve Harvey says he asks men this question because he says women can argue better than guys. So guys should just agree on the small stuff.when he said this I thought What? If you are arguing then it Is important! And why should a guy Have to give in? Is it a type of chivalry? I know if I had to give in on all the " small things" arguments I would soon resent my partner. This is why if I were to have an argument I would straight away agree to disagree or leave. that way we both are right. Your thoughts.

What a great way to look at something. Ok, I agree no argument here. I choose happy and after all we all have a choice. It never seems worth it. About the only time I can understand an argument is in purely mathematically speaking. Yes, one plus one equals one and we all know this. Right?

In my experience most females are incapable of giving in, so if the guy doesn't do it, the argument will be dragged out for eternity. I disagree that men are worse at arguing though. Most girls win from me in an argument because they keep repeating themselves until I'm so annoyed by it I give in. There's never actually any logic involved.
This, along with the fact that most women always shift the blame back to the guy, is why a lot of men (of my generation anyway) resent women in general.

There's no need to make this personal. If you're not like that, then I'm obviously not talking about you. As I said, in my experience, meaning my ex-girlfriends and colleagues. I'm sure not all women are like that, just the ones I will meet in my lifetime.

Hi Sarah.. How're you doing? Guess what, I got my phone back.. I'll be here now, in touch with all of you... :-)...
About the issue at hand, I'd say men always tend to back out... We avoid arguing with our loved ones.. I have lived like that... :-). It becomes futile for us to argue about things with our dear ones...

Don't you resent having to be the one keeping the peace?

Hi sarah: I value my peaceful life. When I am discussing I try to demonstrate that I'm right or at least to explain my point. If we are both respectful to our own opinions, having a civilized discussion on a subject is not bad at all. In a relationship people should not think the same on every issue. However if it's not that important why to discuss, I would just say: I respect your own point of view on this subject, there's no need to fight. But I think I won't be in a relationship if we are always discussing. I value the peace in my mind. I don't want stress in my life.

In my relationship with my guy , we do agree 99% of the time. And that one time we differed, we agreed to disagree. It was so long ago I assume my guy doesn't even remember, lol. It works for us.the main thing is being able to agree to disagree.

Well, i would argue to get be the right one as hard as i can every time i am with my friends and always agree whatever it is, small or big when it is with the girls. I found that they would feel happy about it but not very much when they found out that you are sarcastic.
