You can't really get away with it when you argue with a drunk but a woman who makes a comment, you can just say something like "when was the last time your weight or dress size made you feel bad?" and walk away. It gives them something to think about without being a douche about it.

That is a good one to use on women. I never thought of saying something that witty haha

I wouldn't want that kind of backfire though. I would rather be considered a dick than a *bleep*. Maybe that is just me.

You don't want to have that "I don't care" attitude though. It gets you no where in life. You do care, if you didn't care you would have never posted this. 

 

I agree with this completely. That attitude that a lot of kids these days have gets them no where but into pointless relationships, dead end jobs, and dropping out of school.

I like this idea. You make a point and cause them to reconsider what they just said. 

That is the thing. Women forget how hard it is on them when they lack confidence. They need to be reminded sometimes.

It is not to be witty but to make a point that yeah, I know I am short but what do you know about yourself that you don't like?

That is the way I see it. People allow themselves to get offended. We are all in charge of our own feelings. No one can make us feel a set way without us choosing to allow it.

Yup! You are correct my brother. We need to stop worrying about how people take our words when our intentions were good.

Well no one wants to be considered a *bleep* though am'I right?

Well no, no one wants to be considered one but to me, being a dick is worse. Specially when it comes to women. When women view as such, how many dates you think your are going to get?

My father used to say that as long as what is in your heart is good, you are on the right path.
