Men Fight Better

December 18, 2007 - 1:00 PM by

This Just In! According to a recent Bar Ilan University psychological survey, men are better at arguing but women are better at reconciliation.

The study followed 75 couples, measuring male and female responses to conflict.

Researchers learned that men are able to remain more impassive than their female counterparts during arguments because they are inherently capable of separating between thought, emotion and action. The study showed that this is also the reason men don’t feel guilty after an argument.

Women, the study revealed, argue when frustrated & can get very wrapped up in the argument itself. HOWEVER, women are much more adept than men at making amends because relationships are more important to them than the right-wrong aspect of an argument. And while disputes affect women more markedly in the short term, females are more able to keep a broad perspective for the long haul.

Mars & Venus, I tell you.

    2. Leave it to a woman to write something like this. (I have no idea what that means but it sounds like something that’ll start trouble.)

    3. Try being married to a lawyer!
    They not only fight like men, but also like they’re in court.
    It’s impossible to win.

    4. Benji! I’m shocked and hurt. But I guess I’ll get over it. Faster than you anyway, according to the study.

    5. Hey, I said it didn’t mean anything! (See now I’m being oversensitive like a woman.)
