The other day one of my plate's brought up her young nephew, apparently he has a girlfriend. She, of course, volunteered her advice to him. Stating to me that she gives out great advice.
The conversation went something like this:
Her: I give out great advice to guys *prideful smile*
Me: Let me guess, you told him to be nice and a gentleman.
Her: well, yeah.... *gives me strange look*
Me: *thinking: should I go here?*
Me: How come?
Her: That's what girls like!
Me: Do you like me?
Her: *hamster makes a few rotations*
Me: Don't you always say I'm an A$$hole?
Her: well.....*more hamster rotations*....you are! *laughs*
Me: How many nice guys do you know that like you? Do you like them?
Her: *hamster in overdrive, with massive head tilt*
Me: Women say they want a nice guy, but that's what they
think they want. A gentleman is one thing, but a pandering nice guy is never attractive.
She thought about it for a minute, then I changed the subject, so as not to gloat over my victory, and so she could recover from her current mind fvck.
Stating facts, usually doesn't do the trick. The best way is to ask them questions, and let them figure it out on their own.
That being said, you need to pick and choose your battles. You can't always put them in their place. Men and women will never agree on everything. And when you do decide to take them on, it's best to take from a stance of "I understand your opinion at it means something to me, but lets figure this out together"
If you seek out to "win" an argument with a woman, even if you win, as has been stated, you will lose.
With plates, and especially FB's, I try to stay on lighter subjects for the most part. Women will talk about their day, and there will be a lot of times you can intervene with logical statements trying to help, but instead, turning a "discussion" into an argument.
I'll post this again. I feel it relates:
