Foolproof Way to Resolve Every Argument

Fighting with your man? Use the technique that will end his stay on the couch.

You like to shop, and he likes to save. He likes to smoke, and you like to breath. He wants to pee on you in the shower, but you would rather lather alone. 
 
Couples inevitably find themselves butting heads from time to time, and some contend that this is healthy as long as fangs remain concealed. Nonetheless, resolving arguments is seldom simple, and so Sidetaker.com offers a novel service that takes the guesswork out of deciding who is right and who is wrong. 
 
Settling your argument on Sidetaker.com is a reasonable way to put an issue to rest once and for all: by promoting you and your guy to communicate, and enlisting a jury of strangers to submit their two cents. We know it may sound a little Jerry Springer. But it's cheaper than therapy and sure beats his mom.
 
Instead of face-slapping, door-slamming and name-calling, channel the anger from your next argument into creating a free Sidetaker.com account and entering your side of the story. Best of all, you won't lose your voice or wake the neighbors. And all of your information is entirely anonymous.
 
As the old cliché goes, every argument has two sides. After you input yours, Sidetaker.com sends your spouse, boyfriend or friend a link to post their own version. Once both sides are up, users can read your arguments and vote for the side they feel is right. Users can also post advice and comments, which range from helpful to "Deal with it. She's just not that into you."
 
Your argument will remain open for opinion for up to sixty days—a long stay on the couch—or until you change your story setting to "resolved." Case closed!   
Can you relate?

I Respect women and everyone 4 that matter but I wanted to post this for entertainment purposes only- can"t lie though and say that I have not witnessed some of these quips although humorous generalizations. Interested to see if any ladies see the humour in these 9 dangerous words
women may utter that us males must be on our toes for. Caveat emptor! LOL

(1)Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2)Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3)Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4)Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5)Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6)That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7)Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' ... that will bring on a 'whatever').

(8)Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying SCREW YOU!

(9)Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

Tongue in cheek after all is said n done I prefer Mango's strategy. Make-up sex is gr8-- why waste energy continuing the argument??? Mango, don't take this offensively, but I would love to argue with you any day of the week. LOL Well maybe not during Monday Night Football unless it may initiate an argument!!!!! Fine? or Go Ahead? LOL

hehe...I haven't seen that list in a loooooonnnnggg time. I always did like it. It is definitely tongue in cheek humor.

If anyone has the "Man Rules" or the "Woman Rules" those were some fun ones that could be worth a giggle to disect and make fun of!

Those responses are the biggest prolem in resolving important issues in the relationship. How much work are you willing to put into it? That's the question you need to ask yourself. Both people need to be up front putting their fears of response aside. Otherwise...?
