What is a "subborn" girl?

All of them, but for the sake of my post, one that's even more hardheaded than most. Certainly not one that is easily manipulated or pushed around. A girl with a lot of will power who thinks for herself (don't confuse that with thinking intelligently, just independently).

Congrats Scruffy, you just made the shite list. So that's two asses I'll be kicking tonight. Anyone else? How about King Dr. Phil Bob? You want some there Casanova? I'll stomp a mudhole in your arse too. Let's fricking do this!

The trick is to be subtle about your abuse. If I ever threw wife against a wall she would leave me so I have to operate discretely. Here is my system:

1. Never pay attention when she talks. The only responses she should get are "huh" and head nods.
3. Isolate her. Let her have one friend that you approve of and severe all of her other friends. She had to be lonely to love you.
4. Don't engage in arguments. You just don't care enough and she's not smart enough to debate you about anything anyway.
5. Call her dumb, but jokingly. When she calls you sweet or cute just call her dumb.
6. Don't help with anything around the house. You are a man. Enough said.

There is more but these 6 (5) simple steps should be more than enough abuse without being physical to keep her around.

Happens every time I argue with my SO. She enjoys the argument but bows down when she realizes I get pissed and she ultimately gets upset and then it ends up my fault somehow...

See, for me, I try not to argue too much and keep my cool, but she wants me to say something that I don't believe. I continue to calmly disagree and she keeps prodding me and prodding me until I finally lose my temper and start yelling. She realizes she's pushed me too far, gets sad, I apologize and get ashamed of myself, we compromise (me giving up more than she does) and I feel like an a-hole. She then gets all super sweet to try and make me feel better which makes me suspect that she was sad just to manipulate me, so I get mad and distant. She then feels awful about herself because she realized how upset she made me just to win a stupid argument. She apologizes and we move on.

This happens once every month or 2. However, she respects me for apologizing to make her happy because she can see how much it pains me to do so.

Meh, hot grease to the face is much easier and effective. Nobody wants to date the divorced burn victim

People say that men don't understand women, which is true, but women understand women even less than men do.

My personal theory is that guys are capable of accurate, but incomplete self introspection because we are so simple. There's simply not a whole lot going on in there. Women cannot give accurate or even incomplete introspection because there is simply too much brain activity going on. They think so much that it's hard for them to track their behaviors or thought processes into any kind of order to allow for accurate self-perception. Essentially, women lie to themselves because they themselves can't process the truth (there's too much info to determine what the truth is). Guys can because there is so much less data to deal with.

Agreed.

And men are simple.
