Dirty Tactics
When ever a woman is losing an argument with a man all she has to do is burst into tears and she wins. It's a dirty trick because the man has to give in instantly, comfort her and apologise or he is viewed as a complete arsehole regardless of how stupid/immature/far fetched/stubborn etc her argument was.

we don't all resort to tears
some of us find it an utterly disgusting trick.
besides, a left hook works much better.

I had a boyfriend who used to do this when I was a lot younger. He didn't last very long.

yeah
It's works so much better for men, because it makes you feel so terribly uncomfortable to see a bloke crying in front of you. My brother does it all the time :/

It is rarer for men
for example I've never heard of a single case.

However WOMEN - do it all the time! One of the favourite tricks of my colleague at work to cover up for her blunders/laziness.

Many try, few succeed
Not with me anyway. I'm tough, hard hearted, 'scuse me while I stroke this cute wickle kitten . . .

I cry during arguments
however it is not a trick, it's out of frustration.
I get more angry if the argument stops because I've started crying. Just because I'm crying doesn't mean I can't still argue

i can still offer Kleenex to leaking people while winning; polite but right

i only ever cry
when i get angry. i really hate it, but i just can't stop it! what i hate even more is if it is my dad who has made me angry, and he'll just say coolly and scornfully:

"you can turn off the waterworks. you're not impressing anyone."

I KNOW THAT!

not only cry, but introduce that whole fecking electra complex thing just to confuse us ...

Oh no
their best trick is to start crying and walk off up the street, so you have to run after them apologising while everyone thinks you're some sort of complete bastard - when in reality all you did was offer to carry her stuff in the wrong tone of voice

I fucking love having to do that

Hmmm
Mine did once try to salvage her point of view with the priceless 'I'm not going to argue with you if you are going to use logic!'

this is silly
a woman will get away with crying if you let her get away with crying. if you still think she's in the wrong, KEEP ARGUING.
