I will give you an example, then I will butt out of your conversation.
Man says: The sky is blue.
Woman says: No its red.
Him: Its blue.
Her: Its red.
Him: I am looking straight at it. Its blue.
Her: But I don’t like blue. Blue makes me sad.
Him: I am sorry, but it really is blue.
Her: Stop saying its blue. Why are you making me sad?
Him: Its not my fault. It is blue. I didn’t make it blue.
Her: You obviously don’t care about me or you would be concerned about my feelings.
Him: I hate that blue makes you feel bad but its blue.
Her: Jerk!
In the end, the man is the a**hole.
LOL, yeah but that's the problem. If the man "wins" the argument, she storms off and the guy's not getting any for the foreseeable future. Most guys figure they'll concede the point rather than lose bedroom privileges. That's why guys talk about how they can "never win" because no matter how terrible her logic might be, he has to concede so as to spare her feelings and maintain the relationship.
To me, this parallels what happens when conservatives argue with liberals. If the conservative is winning the factual battle, the liberal quickly tries to make it emotional and, if the conservative doesn't rise to the bait, the liberal then lobs accusations ("racist", "sexist", "bigot", "homophobe", "wants to kill children", "wants grandma to starve", etc.) which the conservative then has to waste time defending even if they were irrelevent to the discussion, giving the liberal time to switch subjects.
At some point, the conservative just stops arguing about it, much like men stop arguing with women, because the liberal won't stick to the facts and present a fair rebuttal. The liberal would much rather switch to emotional arguments or character assassination because their logic is so easy for anyone intelligent to shoot down.
