Arguing With a Woman

Arguing with a woman is like getting arrested.
Everything you say can and will be used against you.

A mate of mine takes the precaution of making notes after encountering those he doesn't trust very much, and once after a visit to my father's farm could even tell me what our discussion had been about when he was leaving.
It would be more accurate to say he recorded what he'd said, (rather than my responses), though it wasn't myself or my dad he didn't trust, but a female he dubbed "The Captain"! :)
 
Sometimes arguing rewards couples with nice makeup time...

I recalled a Biblical passage and used it for a chapter heading in one of my books.

"Better to dwell in the corner of a housetop than with a brawling woman in a wide house." --Proverbs 21:9

There is really a simple solution to all of this. Don't argue with a woman.
Easy peasy.

Ahhhhh, logic, even the logic of both most men and most women might dictate this as the best policy, but some fools like myself might live in the hope changing a woman's mind is possible, so odds of a million to one against become acceptable in those circumstances! :)

Why would a woman allow a man to change her mind? It's perfect just as it is.
There's that pesky logic again. ;)

Funny you should say that, (I really enjoyed the comment).
However, try as I might I cannot believe every woman is quite so perfect in the mind department as your good self, hence my undoubtedly foolish quest to change the odd ones mind now and again, (I'm not talking "Taming of the shrew" here btw!). :)
 
What it all boils down to is that it's not really the gender. It's the way of thinking. After working with the public for so long, I found that we all don't think on the same wave length. It's fun to joke about the battle of the sexes, but it's really a difference in how people learn to process information and make common sense decisions. One good decision is never underestimate someone based on whether they are male or female.

"After working with the the public for so long",..........., (you have both my admiration and sympathy, lest you enjoyed it of course?)! o_O
A very good old boss of mine used to say he'd assume whoever it was he had to deal with in business was always smarter than he was, so he took every precaution not to be taken advantage of or whatever, (the vast majority then turned out not to be anywhere near him in terms of intellect or thoroughness, but his assumption still hadn't failed him had it). :unsure::)
A cousin of mine used to complain about her husband, not because they were not suited or anything like that, but because when she tried to provoke him she found he wouldn't take the bait, (they're still together fifty years on, and very happily married). :giggle:

Excellent advice ! A nagging woman is like someone behind your car and leaning on the horn. Hard to do nothing.
