How to Deal with Angry Women and Maintain Your Dignity

[SaberToothDream]

Some psychologist suggests having sex as a way to calm an angry woman. This article offers a funny alternative view to the usual self-help schlock. But I was wondering what other's thought of it. Has anyone else tried using sex to diffuse hostile situations with their wife/girlfriend?

Deal with angry women like anyone else. If they are being unreasonable ignore them. If they are being reasonable then talk to them.

Yup. Danger Man figured this out ages ago. Although I would love for him to give the real estate and jewelry technique a try.

Yeah but it's tiring when there's a whole load of them. I'm one man damn it!

Besides, that advice should have a health warning: not suitable for mothers.

What's the problem? You have two hands, two feet and a mouth, don't you?

Hahahahaha. On that note I'm going to bed!

Haha if I'm angry and my partner suggests sex to me, it does NOT go down well!! It would probably cause quite a tirade actually

When I'm angry it's usually because I'm not getting enough sex.

You have to be a real mack to pull something like this off. It also depends on what she is angry about and the level of her anger.

I suppose it also depends on the woman.

All true.

This will usually work on me for the general argument (what can I say I love sex), but if I am really hurt-angry it will make me feel belittled, like my feelings are unimportant. I turn to the old addage that there's a time and place for everything (almost all times and places are good for sex ).

This is one of those odd things, where I think the suggestion that this is a good way to deal with an angry woman is kind of demeaning and sexist, but I also have to admit it does work sometimes. Woe is me.

Ok, so I just actually read the article and in order of how well they would work (on me):
Be direct and honest (obviously the best choice).
Drugs (smoking a little herb has a calming effect, I wouldn't take kindly to actually being drugged as the article suggests)
Sex (actually better than the drugs, but not guaranteed to work in every circumstance)

Don't even think about trying:
Yes, dear. Whatever you say, dear.
Money

Aaaannnd, I've officially spent way too much time thinking about this topic.

Keep your mouth shut and stare without emotion.

Hahaha, no that will earn you even more wrath .

hahahaha- there is some truth to this, though it is stated rather unpleasantly... I think the most enraging thing with men is when they get overwhelmed with socializing or the relationship/commitment or whatever and rather than be honest and explain their feelings/needs, they just block you out and you feel ignored/rejected- sex at least is some sort of attention... on the other hand, there are times when a woman wants to vent and the guy should just let it blow over before responding... but when the woman finishes her rant and stares at you waiting for a response, it better not be "hmm...?"

When she's not looking, set up a cardboard cutout of yourself and go watch tv while she yells at it.

Lemme give you some insider advice...

When a woman is angry: run. Run like the wind. I am not kidding.
