Section VIII - A
Man Must Pick his Battles Wisely
MBC3V1S8
Sometimes to win
a fight a man must not fight. Most conflicts are resolvable by
not protesting the conflict. Why fight about something fairly irrelevant
to sexual relations and sex?
Even when a man wins a fight, he loses in reduced sexual encounters, animosity,
built-up frustrations and 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 battle is won when the woman is naked in bed, not when the
argument of art placement, movie selection or furniture color is won.
Arguing about trivial matters of no useful consequence reduces the chances of
good future outcomes. The ManBible recognizes this as the Eighth ManBible Truth: A Man Must Pick his Battles Wisely (MBT8 - PBW). Knowing when to engage and
when to concede will create more enjoyable moments in life and improve a man’s
QE. Letting go of the need to dominate and win secondary concerns is
essential to wisely pick battles.
Conflict is a
sorted affair of negative results. Women remember and catalog their
grievances, and they are generally more intelligent and prepared to argue a
point. This is especially true of details of an argument. Most men
are unwilling to go where women go to win a fight in any regard. Women
know just what to say to get the most negative effect. Therefore, only
when the fight concerns core values or choices in life should a man engage a
woman. 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. Because the main goal with women is sexual relations and eventual sex,
a man should drop it and get laid.
