If by “fighting” you mean explaining why my opinion contradicts hers after I’ve said over and over again that I value her perspective and enjoy communicating with her about a difficult issue, then okay, I guess.</p>
<p><em>bangs head</em> Not this again. </p>
<p>It wasn’t negative, Halogen.</p>
<p>I agree with your essay, Halogen. I’ve learned not to argue with girls too much, beyond just teasing them.</p>
<p>And I’m glad someone else agrees with me that the “you always have to right” excuse is BS.</p>
<p>
My “wow, that was negative” post was directed at my own post; I posted it before I saw yours. I was just reading my post and thought “wow I must look like a sociopath.”</p>
<p>It’s all good, your mental image is humorous to me too lol. I’m a pretty odd person in some ways and it’s good for the soul when I can laugh at myself :)</p>
<p>Phew. </p>
<p>I was just sitting there looking at the screen tryin to undertand what was negative! Lol I understand. :)</p>
<p>
Nah, you write too many smart posts to look like a sociopath.</p>

Yeah, you have to be careful with the bad decisioners. They tend to take things too far (that sentence started with 6 t words by the way) a lot, so I’ve backed out on their plans on numerous occasions. Whenever they get into trouble (and it happens somewhat often), I’m never there. So I’m thinking we steer each other toward the center of the spectrum. I do more risky things and they do less risky things.</p>
<p>“Usually when I encounter a conflict with a girl or I witness a guy and a girl having a conflict with each other, the girl is more emotional about it and she’s the first either to go into attack mode or to start giving the silent treatment.”</p>
<p>Thinking back, when I argue with people, I do do this sometimes. But (since we’re all going to stereotyping now) this behavior on my part happens much more often with guys than girls because when guys argue, they’re just so much arrogant- while girls want to discuss, guys want to prove they’re correct right away. </p>
<p>Of course this, like every other stereotype, isn’t always true- I got into an argument with my best friend the other day about feminism and she became for emotional and wouldn’t hear me out. But with a good guy friend of mine…I can’t imagine giving him the silent treatment or screaming at him in an argument because I know he actually wants to discuss and converse politely and he’s not a dick about what he says.</p>
<p>So it really isn’t some weird innate gender thing you guys- JUST MEET SOME NICE PEOPLE OKAY?</p>
<p>@000Chet Oh, yes. I’m being careful. Two of them got accused a vandalism (which I know they did) recently so I am steering clear.</p>
<p>
Yes. Read post #2 of this thread.</p>

<p>Aw shucks…</p>
<p>I usually prefer girl friends actually. I feel like they help me out with bad crap in my life more lol.</p>
<p>I’ve had a lot of difficulties over the past few years, so having these good friends has been helpful.</p>
<p>
personally, I like debate and discussion (future philosophy major here :D), but I don’t like debating with friends. I’m too sensitive for that :o Once I did start debating with a friend, and I felt bad about it, and I did genuinely think that they just had to be right about everything. But then I talked to her later, and she just said it was no big deal and that everyone is entitled to their opinion. I realized I was wrong about her having to be right about everything. I think it just takes longer for us sensitive folk to realize that what we see as offensive is nothing more than a friendly debate to others.</p>

<p>From Wiki:
Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule</p>
