I love the way that women argue

[shrink]

This past weekend, my wife and I planned to have our two granddaughters up to the house for a fun weekend. When I got home late Friday night, the granddaughters were there, but so were two of their friends. Frankly, I didn't look forward to a weekend at home with four young kids. I made the mistake of asking my wife:

"Why didn't you tell me that there were going to be two more kids here for the weekend?"

She: "You didn't ask".

Me: "You should have told me. Why should I have to ask?"

She: "I always ask when I want to know something. How much trouble would it have been to ask?"

Me: "Frankly, I didn't even think of it. I was only expecting the two girls".

She: "That's what upsets me... you expect me to read your mind when you aren't even thinking".

Using her logic, you could round up the boys and head to Vegas for the weekend. After all, she should have asked if she wanted to know you were going to Vegas.

Never underestimate a woman's ability to overlook logic and reasoning.

I've always found the best way to argue with women is not to.

Shrink...I was having a similar themed discussion with two women last week.

As a bloke with a few relationship miles......the one thing that puts fear in my heart is when a woman says " Honey, can I ask you a question?"

Paraphrasing that great philosopher ....the Robot from "Lost in Space"....!!!!DANGER ROB AYALA....DANGER!!!!

As I explained to the lovely women ....the question is the relationship equivalent of a the "Vietnam War Bamboo Spike Trap"

in my experience a woman very rarely asks this question without:

1. having thought about the ins and outs of the question for the better part of a week.
2. Discussing the issue with her friends and getting advice.
3. Read books on the issue or researched it online.

In the meantime....we mere males walk straight on in to the question while we have just been focusing on the rugby highlights. It is the ultimate ambush

So when the " Honey, can I ask you a question?" is posed out of the blue by your wife or partner can I recommend to all the rookies to:

1. STOP. Remember the Robot's sage words. Engaging your mouth without your mind is quicksand. Remember they are prepared and you are unarmed
2. BUY TIME! "Of course honey...what's on your mind"
3. DON"T ENGAGE! "Hmmm I love you so much I want to give this some thought"
4. RESEARCH "What the hell is she on about....really "
5. DELAY and think some more!
6. STRATEGY.
7. RE-ENGAGE
8. EXECUTE so that at least she thinks she wins!

Love them

She: "That's what upsets me... you expect me to read your mind when you aren't even thinking".

She's got you there. Brilliant!

I've just gotten to the point of telling my wife that she's right, even if she is not, it's not the cowards way out but more of a tactical way to not waste time in an argument that I will never win.

..."honey can I ask you a question??" Yes, dear as long as you don't expect an answer!

I think the above illustrates it perfectly. After a short 8 months marriage, I believe all women are natural born emotional blackmail terrorists

This.

A sage man once told me, "In marriage there are two ways to be. As a man, you can be right, or you can be happy. Pick one."

I used to have long flowing hair until my wife started asking me questions 29 years ago. My hair went the way of the DooDoo......Just call me Q-Ball

I love how they always respond with some comment about how "their feelings" have somehow been hurt or not considered when we are not informed of information we require. The only thing I can think of is to respond with "What about my feelings? Don't you think if you were thinking about my feelings at all you would have asked me if I was ok with two additional children I don't know spending the weekend at our home?"

When she doesn't have an answer you walk to your humidor and take out the biggest cigar you own and go smoke it.

I got in the habbitt of saying... "The answer is NO, Whats the Question??" So far soo good...
