The 5 Types Of Fights Men Fear

types of fightingThe only fights guys really like are those that take place on HBO or Pay-Per-View. But guys don’t particularly like fights when they happen in relationships.

We shy away from confrontation for several reasons: first, men win rarely win arguments with women.

Second, we don’t have that much we want to argue about. For the vast majority of guys, fighting is failure, and quite possibly a violation of local noise ordinances.

This only fuels speculation – she must’ve been great, she must’ve broken up with him, she must’ve been the love of his life. The truth may be none of those things, but he wants to reveal as little as possible because there’s no upside.

Ladies: here’s the truth: once she’s an ex and we’ve really moved on, we’ve really moved on! Yes, there was a time when I liked her, but the keyword in that statement is “was.” I’m with you now, so stop dwelling on the past.
