Section VIII – A Man Must Pick his Battles Wisely
MBC3V1S8
Sometimes to win the fight a man must not fight. Most conflicts in a relationship are resolvable by not protesting the conflict. Why argue and verbally fight about something fairly irrelevant to the goal of good living, sexual relations and sex? Even when a man wins a fight, he loses; reduced sexual encounters, animosity, built-up frustrations and ultimately a diminished quality of life. Women can make life hell for a man who picks his battles unwisely. When the goal is Quiet Enjoyment (QE), the fights – worth the risk – are the ones that matter the most and not the least. The ManBible recognizes the Eighth ManBible Truth: A Man Must Pick his Battles Wisely (MBT8 – PBW). The battle is won when a woman of o interest is naked and liking you in bed, not when the argument over trivial matters is resolved in the man’s favor. These matters include anger at being late, art or furniture placement, food selections and movie selections. Battles about trivial matters of no useful purpose to the goal of SRES, and consequently reduces the chance of good future outcomes. Knowing when to engage and when to concede is the knowledge to create more enjoyable moments in life and improve a man’s QE.
Conflict is a sorted affair of negative results. Women generally remember and catalog their grievances, and many are prepared to argue a point without fear. This is especially true of specific details of an argument or issue, also known as the known unknown. Further, most men are unwilling to go where some women can and do go to win a fight, such as collateral attacks, upbringing issues and dick size. Many women know just what to say, to get the most negative effect and rise. Therefore, only when the fight to be made concerns core values or big choices in life should a man engage a woman in negative communication. The ManBible recommends men should avoid battles unless they go to Fundamental Issues of Pride (FIP). FIPs are worth protecting because they set the foundation in men for success with women. A man who cedes FIPs will ultimately find the relationship a failure through eventual rejection and breakup. FIPs are important as they dictate in large measure future courting or relationship happiness. If the main goal with women is sexual relations and eventual sex, a man should drop most of it and get laid.
