Well I read it somewhere once that men tend to argue with logic (male logic at any rate) in mind while women tend to argue with more emotion.
Someone who is arguing any given subject with just logic with someone who is arguing with them mostly with emotion can never win an argument.
How can logic persuade emotion in an argument? You can be right all you want even if logic proves you are correct, when emotion is involved, logic can't win, emotion doesn't see logic, emotion can only see feelings and feelings aren't usually dictated by logic.
The easiest way for man to stop arguing with a woman is stop feeding into it, maybe I may be limited in my experiences but I've never seen any man successfully argue a point across with an emotional woman - it never works and it doesn't matter if he is right or not because even if he is using logic, his logic blinds him to a certain degree because the woman he is arguing with is being guided by her emotions. Probably doesn't make sense the way I just wrote this but hopefully someone can read this and kind of make sense of it.
In the end when a man argues with his better half, he has to take into account that say by chance he is probably 90% correct in his view or argument but he never sees that even if he is right, she could possibly be right also. (It works both ways, this is just an example) What if she is right by only 5 or 10% (again, weird to use numbers but that's how this is coming out), she is still right in her perception, if a man is able to see this and agree that she can be right too instead of everyone having a view point that their is only 1 right person and 1 wrong person in an argument.
One positive thing about arguing though although most won't admit it, it shows some type of passion in the relationship. If you didn't care about the person at all, you wouldn't bother arguing so strongly with that person.
