There's a subtle art to coming out on top in an argument with a woman.
First, you can't persuade her with facts. You have to tune into her way of thinking and speaking, which is more about how she (and on rare occasions others) feel/s than what she thinks. Then, you have to be just as determined to win as she is. Men often don't bother with arguments because they don't see the subject as intellectually important, putting them at an instant disadvantage to the one for whom, right that moment, it's The Big Deal. Commitment, see. Grasp the subject with all the heart you'd instead be putting into playing Halo Reach or whatever, and fight your corner. Make sure *she* knows how *you* feel for once - hurt, upset, betrayed, but never indifferent, because that's the currency that makes sense to most women. Don't raise your voice, but be firm and determined, and when you make your final point, remember that forehands have more force but backhands have more style.
