Yesterday when I was chatting with my friends, there came the worldly controversy - Women are more argumentative..My friend said this and he told us many incidents as examples..We girls could not accept it and fought with him.. But he concluded that we ourselves proved the statement...BUt I still cannot it..Is taht true? Are women more argumentative? Do you think so?

It depend from person to person..One women may be quite argumentive but the other may be easily agreeable one..While most of the men like to be complimented as an arrogant men and that makes them argumentive in a way. Situations and charcteristics and also the topic and the person with whom we are discussing the topic decides a person is argumentive or not.. Have a nice day!

You are right..The situation, the topic and the other person who is conversing also decides whether a woman becomes argumentative or not..

To enter into an argument is a very common trait in all of us, irrespective of our genders. I do not think that women are more argumentative. It is a matter of perception for different genders. Some of the issues are seen with different prespective by men and women. On some of the issue one cannot reach at a conclusive point, in that case arguments are bound to occur. It is very easy to argue, we human beings have the capacity to argue on any statement, that too for and against. You will yourself see when you receive responses for your discussions that some would be for your statement, while others may be against it.

Personally, I think for many tnings, it depends on the situation, but in a lot of ways I think the reason it could be so true, is women are more so wanting to be heard, and often feel everyone needs to know how they stand even if no one else tends to agree with them. It is also sometimes that Men are afraid to argue in fear they might look foolish or something. Just my thoughts.

ha..ha..I think men do not take any attempt to stand on their views..But women are strong in their ideas and thoughts - whether it could be wrong or right..

I think so. We speak our minds and it's important to use to voice our opinions. Men are different, they don't care what people think and will usually just want to get along with people.

yes..men get along with the people very easily and they do not take any extra effort to proove their opinions..That is why they are less argumentative..

i think this is not more about gender sensitivity but more on personality and attitude. i could argue with anyone else if it deserves the effort and time but if i know that it won't then i would be as passive and stoic as possible. that's how i see things in life, i don't care much if my happiness doesn't depend on someone else. i argue and make a point if it is important to me but if its just some non sense stuff then you won't hear anything from me. just another 0.2 cents of un-opionated principle.

I too feel the same..Being argumentative does not goes with gender but with the personality of the person..Thanks for sharing your views..

That is true..Your username itself says that you are a cool girl..It is always better to put a fullstop to the argumnet and save the relationship rather than winning an argument and loosing a relationship..

I do not deny that women are argumentative. Women can be annoyingly fussy and repetitive. I think thats our speciality!

I think it varies from person to person. I am one who does not like to argue. I can, but I prefer not to. If someone has an opinion that differs from mine, I will make my case, but I will not engage in a back and forth conversation of trying to convince the other party of my point of view. Intelligently stating my case is enough for me. Then I'm ready to move on. I like engaging in conversation where people can intelligently state their opinions without insisting that you adopt their point of view. If they say something that makes sense I will consider their point of view even if I don't change my mind. Sometimes, they have changed my mind. So it all depends on the person whether or not they are argumentative.
