"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Over a year ago I posted about a FB of mine who'd started a huge screaming fight with me because I disagreed with her political beliefs. The problem seemed to resolve itself, but now I let slip another 'offenseive' remark and agains she's declared that we're through. She also sent me an e-mail telling me what an awful perosn i am.

First of all, that's obviously way too serious a reaction from the FWB. Second, if she can't respect that other people have different opinions (and yeah I kind of fudged on the issue, but if you knew how irrational she was about it you'd have done the same) then that's her problem.

The trouble is, crazy as it sounds, i am going to miss her alot. I haven't called her and I haven't responded to her e-mail. I'm going to wait it out. If she decided to be a mature person I'm willing to talk to her.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

If she's a liberal then I'm siding with you. If you're a liberal then you're in the wrong.

If you want to win, argue through actions not words. Words won't work. If shes set on her belief it's going to be hard to sway that. So what you need to do is take action and let her see why you believe what you do. It's all about understanding. As long as she gets where your coming from a tiny bit, there should be some sort of understanding.
I don't see it happening. This isn't the first time she's done this; trying to discuss the issue is a rational way gets me nowhere.
