I don't avoid. I love a good argument. What pisses most people off is that I can do it whilst keeping a level head on my shoulders.

Though, if the argumentee has a gun, or a knife, I tend to ignore them. 😎

Ahem.

About a year ago, my friend got married to avoid an argument.

Now the same friend is fathering a baby (due December) to avoid an argument.

So I'm curious, to what extremes have other people gone in order to avoid a fecking argument?

For the most part I try to avoid an arguement if possible.I believe it has a lot to do with my zodiac sign,I know,it sounds wierd but I think it's true.If I am pushed enough to argue I usually get very aggrivated and tend to blow a gasket.

The hardest thing for me to do is not speak my mind or say something contrary to what I believe.

But when weighing the outcome of the argument versus the outcome of my just being frustrated, at times I will just apologize so I can move on versus having an argument.

Yep, I got married to avoid an argument too. More precisely, I got married to avoid a barrage of recriminating self-pity. Fortunately, we didn't have kids, and fortunately, I'm long out of there.

I tend to avoid arguments, but that's mostly because I view most disputes as unnecessary anyway. More times than not, I can see both sides of the argument and can tell that it'll be resolved in the end anyway. Thus the spat is just a pointless period of inessential impedance to eventual understanding.

Whoa ... that last sentence KICKED ASS.

I try to avoid any confrentation... I HATE IT..will do my best to change the subject.

I hate confrontation and arguments. If it is a friend having the problem I will do anything to avoid them hurting and will get in the face of the person causing the problem. If it is myself I tend to back down and let the other person win the argument.

Oh and if it is a child nothing in the world will make me back down.

It's fucking torture, but it works.

For most of my years I was the quiet listener in a debate... I'd generally let the other people drive the argument and consider their points... Until I met a friend who wants to debate and imprint his opinion on others CONSTANTLY!!! He's also a great conversationalist, so I try to ignore his contrarian nature... but being friends with him has made me assert my arguments/opinions a lot more...

These days, unless I'm just tired or don't give a shit about the issue, I'll make my thoughts known... and defend them when challenged.

And I would certainly not concede to getting married just to avoid conflict... That's completely ridiculous!!! Although I know a lot of fellow males who will avoid an argument with their significant others at all costs... I don't believe that is a healthy way to live...
