Sometimes conceding defeat so easily is the most frustrating thing for your opponent. It makes them feel like they only won because you didn't try.

- snprbob86 16y agoI had a girlfriend complain "you always have to be right!" to which I replied "no, I'm just willing to admit when I am wrong". She objected, saying that I win every arguement. I recalled many occurances where she won arguements and pointed out how breif those discussions were because I allowed her to be right. Then she got even more angry at me for being right again...
- chewbranca 16y agoNotice he said 'I had a girlfriend', sometimes the best approach is knowing when being right is wrong.
- tkahnoski 16y agoSounds like advice I received from a recently married friend. "You can be happy or you can be right".
- snprbob86 16y agoI actually dated her for quite a long time past this discussion. We parted ways quite amicably after growing apart because I kept switching back and forth between Philadelphia and the west coast for internships. You're reading too much into it, but I definitely understand where you are coming from and in the common case, you are right.
