I believe from experience that debating with a women is absolutely not a good idea, what do you guys think?

General rule is don't debate shit. Debate is about pandering to an audience rather than changing someone's opinion. Rarely do people honestly change their minds, most of the time they'll agree just to get an exit - the natural instinct is to dig in and defend your position and more often than not debates turn personal.

Debating anyone is usually a waste of time.

Don't argue with women.

FollowerTRP · 2019-05-22T15:16:20+00:00

Amused mastery. You explain things shortly like to a 5 y/o. You do not fall for argument/debate. You keep topics and conversation fun/stimulating for her mind and emotions

PracticalMaximum · 2019-05-22T18:09:06+00:00

Women are children. You do not debate with children. Ever.

SwoleyMoleyFrijoley · 2019-05-22T19:09:51+00:00

You can't win an argument with a woman. You can't use logic to change her mind. You can only change her feelings.

Arguing with a woman implies you're equals.

Daddy3asy · 2019-05-22T14:54:29+00:00

Lol why debate with them? What purpose does it serve?

Razkolol · 2019-05-22T20:20:49+00:00

Well you kinda win the argument when she starts getting emotional/playing dirty, that's your cue that all her logical thinking has been destroyed and she's using dirty tricks. The male equivalent would be when your buddy can't argue with you anymore he punches you in the face, you won the argument, but now you have a black eye.

If your goal is to just flex your intelligence and superior moral code on women by debating them, you're wasting your time.

But if you truly want to change a woman's opinion, or even ANYONE's opinion, the best way to do it is to maintain a neutral standpoint while dropping little truth-bombs here and there. Be it statistics, studies, or personal anecdotes (pretty useless in actual debates but women love tangible examples). You're not going to successfully change her mind as people typically tie their beliefs in heavily with their identity and ergo heavily with emotion. You can only provide with the bread crumbs and stepping stones for them to discover the truth themselves.

Do people (male or female) actually like you when you debate? I typically ignore people that feel every encounter needs to have some type of debate/challenge.

You sounds super fun to be around

FereallyRed · 2019-05-22T15:50:55+00:00

Think about the overview.

What are you trying to achieve?

Jabbermouth · 2019-05-22T17:19:59+00:00

You are correct in your assumption. This is sidebar level stuff.

passepar2t · 2019-05-22T18:43:21+00:00

One time a girl started a debate with me because she wanted to put me in my place, as she told me later. I got right into it and verbally fenced her to a standstill. Over time, we started banging and she told me that she first found me attractive because I didn't flinch at the challenge. So your mileage may vary.

crystal_wb · 2019-05-22T23:06:49+00:00

When it comes to rather superficial debates, I totally agree. But anything that is not an everyday topic I can discuss with men and women equally. I am actually under the impression that men generally tend to be a bit more stubborn, so they sometimes won't even acknowledge things I say. Not saying that that's always the case.

Project_Zero_Betas · 2019-05-22T23:30:31+00:00

What are you debating with them?

into_being · 2019-05-22T23:33:26+00:00

I enjoy debating a position I don't actually agree with. Though I've lost this over the past few years. Too little time to get spun up about bullshit.

In the end, WTF is the point? You're only going to annoy them and more importantly, be annoyed by them.

[deleted] · 2019-05-23T00:00:47+00:00

You obviously dont know how to have a conversation with a woman when shes wrong.

You also suck at posting. I'm going to need 3 examples 3 times as long as your post.

INNASKILLZ2K18 · 2019-05-23T01:58:26+00:00

Never ever ever argue with a woman. No need to even explain why.

BlackFire68 · 2019-05-23T02:07:37+00:00

What would be the point of debate?

GiraffeOnWheels · 2019-05-23T02:56:56+00:00

This is absolutely correct. Debating against pro choice people is pointless. Plenty of women agree with it, but the only people that will argue against it are emotional women. Then when they can't come up with any logical reply it ends in "you're not a woman so you're not allowed to have an opinion".

MYMOUTHISNUMmn · 2019-05-23T05:21:55+00:00

DARE never DEER i've found this extremely usefull even when not debating.

Thunderfin · 2019-05-23T08:26:50+00:00

"with a women"

okay...

jm51 · 2019-05-23T10:00:33+00:00

People don't remember what you said to them first meeting. They do remember how you made them feel.

Chicks love me until we debate

See, you remember how she made you feel.

Chicks love me until we debate

What was that saying about insanity and repetition?

Being good at debating is a valuable skill. That proves you can be clever.

Of even more value is knowing when to avoid a debate. That proves you have wisdom.

electricitygives · 2019-05-29T10:01:55+00:00

You'll appear like a greasy neckbeard when she's wrong.

If you want sex, don't.

RedPill-BlackLotus · 2019-05-22T19:22:44+00:00

Your chances of beating a woman with words are the same chances as her beating you with fists. You always have to consider the woman might be a rohanda rousy and could own you in 69 seconds but chances are she's not.

Are you the Male version of a rohanda rousy?

Chances are you aren't. So dont engage.
