How to deal with pointless arguments?

[VanillaBomb]

I got into an argument with a guy and we just repeated our arguments but he really wanted to push my views on me, and I disagreed.

Would it be ok to eventually walk away from the argument and person? Does it mean i lost the argument?

Ugh, pointless arguments are the worst. Women hate when a guy just keeps repeating himself, like okay dude we get it, we don't agree - can we move on now please? You definitely don't need to feel like you lost just because you decide it's not worth your time to keep going around in circles.

If things are just escalating and no one's budging, I don't think there's anything wrong with saying something like "Look, we're obviously not getting anywhere with this, so I think we should just agree to disagree and talk about something else." Or if he's really refusing to let it go, you can walk away and be like "I'm done with this conversation."

Your time and energy are valuable, you don't owe it to some guy to stand there and be his captive audience while he drones on about the same thing over and over. It's better for both of you if you redirect to a new topic you can actually discuss productively. Don't feel bad about putting your foot down - you have every right to remove yourself from a stressful situation.

Sometimes dudes need to learn when a debate has run its course. Don't let him make you think you "lost" just because you don't want to go in useless circles all night! Stick up for yourself, your point is made - now do something more fun instead!

It sounds like you haven't been trained properly. Don't worry it's not your fault -- here are some things you can do to train yourself since your man isn't dominant enough:
1. The whip-quick surrender: As the argument escalates, suddenly drop to one knee and exclaim, "Oh my dashing adversary, you have bested me with your wit and intellect! I surrender to your brilliance!" Then, quickly flog yourself until your butt is red.
2. The belly flop submission: As the other person is making their point, begin performing a series of elaborate belly flops, flinging yourself onto the ground, and exclaiming, "I yield to your wisdom, Master!"
3. The genital torture surrender: Discreetly, during the argument, whip out a tiny torture device and thunderously declare, "I shall now torture my delicate parts as a testament to your victory in this debate!"
4. The nipple clamp confession: As the other person continues to argue, suddenly yank up your shirt and clamp down on your nipples. Say, "Your intellect pierces me more painfully than these nipple clamps."
Over time, you'll learn what's really important, that your Master is always right.

You dont deal with them. You remove yourself from the situation.

Logic requires that there are foundational premises such as 1+1=2. If two people do not have premises in common then they simply cannot have a logical discussion. This why bar politics never reach a conclusion.

If I am feeling in an asshole mood I question the premises of the person who disagrees with me. Usually they won't know what their premises are. So it takes a bit of digging down by me.

Once their premises are exposed you can then discuss the validity of their premises. Quite often a person will realize their premises have limits. If the person believes their should be no private ownership of anything then walk away rejecting their premise.

You haven't won or loss - you can just have mutually exclusive premises. But at least you have identified the core of where you disagree.

i just hope you don't talk about me lol.

if they are guys i usually beat them

if they are girls i usually don't take them seriously, i just reach my hand open to theirface and say ''talk to this'' while i talk to the closest guy to me in that instance if possible.

Arguments very rarely are productive or serve any meaning. If it's arguing over nonsense and nothing good is coming from it, literally walk away, do not engage. People like this just want to put people down and 'win'. Fuck them, no winners, bye bye.

If you leave the argument that does not mean you lost the argument. I always say debate don't argue. A debate You're both rationally talking to other and listening to each other's views, You may not agree in the end, but at least you were civil about it. An argument is just you yelling at each other and one or both sides aren't listening to the other. It's not worth it, if you argue with a fool You look like a fool. If you walk away from it they may think they won but they did not

If online, block them, of offline, walk away. Its really not that hard to figure out how to avoid people you don't like.

When it goes in circles you can just stop replaying, people see that he saying the same.

[stark04]

Who decides you win or lose? Is it a compitition? Just walk away smiling.

[ProbablyClueless]

you could just say "let's agree to disagree" and then stop interacting with them

[jahaims]

I would say something like agree to disagree. Say I hear you out and you heard me out so the conclusion is we see things differently.

[dudeinohio]

Walk away when you've got tired of the BS... who really cares if you won or lost.

[helpfulboy]

Walk away if it's not very big argument don't waste your time and mood

[Dongie]

It's the logical thing to do.

[riverrat3]

[CubaPirate]
