Mel Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 If mine didn't have a ***** I would not tolerate her.

pizzabob Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 C'mon guys, the answer is an absolute NO unless of course you are on your way to a different woman. But why would you want to train a new one anyway? Lifes too short.
dysfunctional Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 OF COURSE !!! I win all the time...... Err.....Please dont tell my wife I said this OK ??:-P

Anything you say may and will be used against you at a later time. As you discuss this matter, you have a right to stop answering her questions at any time you desire. You have a right to a lawyer before speaking, to remain silent until you can talk to him or her, and to have your lawyer present when you are being questioned. If you want a lawyer but cannot afford one, one will be provided to you at great cost. Do you understand each of these rights I have explained to you? Now that I have advised you of your rights, are you willing to answer her questions without an attorney present?
ALB Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 » TORA TORA TORA » » Blindsided today....never saw it coming » I think the main thing to remember in arguing with women is the line Jack Nicholson used in As Good As It Gets : Girl : "How is it you can write so much like a woman?" Jack : " I think of a man. Then I take away all REASON & ACCOUNTABILTY" There you have it. You can't use logic or reason, & they won't accept any blame, so you're basically f@%*d. Good line to keep you amused while you're being yelled at though..:-)
strayvector Posted November 4, 2005 Posted November 4, 2005 » » It could be worse Rob,,, You could be married to Ken! » By the exchanges they have on this board, I thought they already were. Probably the reason the wife is mad.
Guest gorob23 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I won one from "Yes Dear" once then we got married and she made me have the "4LP" and from that point on I have been toast..... Rob let her have this victory and go light one up, pour some rum and after 5 mintues you will realize you really won Rob:cool:
Ken Gargett Posted November 6, 2005 Posted November 6, 2005 perhaps members of the forum would be interested to know that i returned from my week away to get a thinned, strained (possibly castrated) voice on the machine asking if it wouldn't be too much trouble (he has never been nice to me before so she must really have done a job on him) for me to check the forum occasionally on return while he is absent. 1. what did you really do? 2. didn't we go thru this 'oh, things are all right' stage with the forgotten 40th and then we found out that it really wasn't quite so alright? 3. how could you possibly think things would be all right and i don't even know what you did? 4. if she goes for the divorce, can we do a big lunch with your humidor so there is less to go to her and the lawyers? 5. it is possible to win an argument with a woman - you just have to make certain that at no stage do they ever find out your real name. 6. repeat 1. ps - if she gets the humidor, does it mean we no longer get plugged cigars?
El Presidente Posted November 8, 2005 Author Posted November 8, 2005 1. I am assuming members of the forum mean "make up sex" as in with your wife?.....just checking. 2. Ken, there was nothing singularly that I did wrong. I was given the 6th monthly tune up of everything I have done wrong over the past 180 days ( I must say that the list was impressive). 3. Capped off that I forgot to collect my son from Karate last Tuesday evening (It was Melbourne cup day and I may have been intoxicated). Not that I knew he was at Karate, not that I was told nor was it essential I was there as his friend and friends dad (family friends) live down the road and drop him home from Karate regularly. Son's comment in the morning was a classic. " How can one man get in so much trouble"

Short answer to your question -- even if you win the argument, you still lose.
Colt45 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 I think parts of this are fitting for this thread........ ROMANCE MATHEMATICS Smart man + smart woman = romance Smart man + dumb woman = affair Dumb man + smart woman = marriage Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy ______________________________ OFFICE ARITHMETIC Smart boss + smart employee = profit Smart boss + dumb employee = production Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime _____________________________ SHOPPING MATH A man will pay $20 for a $10 item he needs. A woman will pay $10 for a $20 item that she doesn't need. _____________________________ GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man. _____________________________ HAPPINESS To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all. ______________________________ LONGEVITY Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die. ______________________________ PROPENSITY TO CHANGE A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does. _____________________________ DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument. _____________________________ HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
jay8354 Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 » Son's comment in the morning was a classic. » » " How can one man get in so much trouble" 1. There is no such thing as a 6th month tune up. You must think like this, it is a daily checkup which will be on their records for the half yearly performance review. 2. When in trouble, it is never just one thing. 3. Woman - esp GFs and Wives, expect that since we "know" them, we are to be mind readers. As for your son's comment, it is a beauty. I love to hear your reply. I would have said in return, "Wait till you growup and have girlfriends" Once he is married, give him 1 year and then say, "Do you understand now?"
El Presidente Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Complete Confusion. I forgot the flowers. However, all is hunky dorey....like nothing has ever happened. Very much like the eye of the storm......almost Stepford wives quality to it all...smiles, hugs, conversation I am going to sleep with one eye open

I was going to suggest NO ACTION. You know you are right and she will never see it your way, or admit it. A few weeks ago the wife was ragging on me about something that really ticked me off. I kept on working in the kitchen without even looking up. She asked if I heard her and I said yes. She asked me if I had anything to say and I said no, without even looking up. That really got her goat and I WIN. Now she was as mad as I was so I considered all to be EVEN. I told her I have never won an argument yet so I was not going to try. Over and Out.:-D

She is ready to strike. When they are quiet and pretending that it is all better, it is really F*#k'ed up! My wife has said that I have to tell you that no man will ever win an argument, I had to say that because well, i am scared.
jay8354 Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 In the history of the world, only a few had the rare power of winning an arguement with a woman. They did not live long enough to tell the tale. I associate winning an argument against a woman like turning back the tides, stopping the sun...etc. So unless you have Godlike powers.... I personally use a golden rule: Take any victory only when you can, no matter how small. Cause victories of any kind is hard to come by. When it seems to be like to Her to be a major argument, beat a retreat. So that you will survive and fight another day. BTW, Housework is a winner to soothe woman (like majestic beautiful beasts that they are). The amount of it however, is dependent on how mad she was. Flowers after an argument is like putting a Bullseye on yourself (only good for special occasions, better if it is done randomly). As for it not happening, El Prez, if I was you - be prepare. It is the Eye of the Storm... It is going to blow, HARD!! Need 2 eyes wide open. » Complete Confusion.
