Is there really such a thing as compromise??? (23)
wikkedAjax, Ontario Canada655 Threads 4 Polls 6,091 PostsThis may or may not be a touchy subject...but i myself do not subscribe to "compromises"...(I know I know...how bad of me..) What i am willing to concede..is that i may have been wrong in the first place...were you willing to civilly argue the point so that i may see it that way? Or would you have listened to my arguments and concede that you may have been incorrect...or do we "compromise"???

ooh, that's a really good one. i don't think that i actually "compromise" in my beliefs...i still think i was right! but i might give in a little on the outcome...go half and half..IF he is coming from a well-informed and educated opinion...i don't wanna hear any of that..."cause i said so, i'm the man!" stuff..

Who really says that "cause I said so" stuff? That would be my hand on the door indicator. Are there cave men still dragging there knuckles some where out there?
It is called mutual respect ladies. We are all human and equal and the so called compromises if not there from the beginning, will eventually come into play into a relationship. If you do not have an open mind, willing heart and respect for your (potential) partner, then it quite simply will not work.
If I like you, then I must understand your wants, needs and desires even if they are not the same as mine, so compromise is ever existant everywhere....

wow, that's exactly true...and unfortunately yes, they do still exist. i took a class on gender issues last semester, and was absolutely shocked at the amount of men AND women who said that no matter what...the man should always have the final say, no matter what it entails. and that her education...didn't have to go anywhere if he so chose. one lady actually said the whole purpose of a woman's education was to better converse with her future husband.
but yeah...if you care about a person...you should care about their thoughts. not necessarily agree all the time, just make a point to understand.

the truth? some...but mostly we just realized how backwater some of the others were...the class covered gender, race, and class...and was an absolutely fascinating class, just to really see how others thought...a window into their minds.
some of what i saw...made me wish i wasn't a part of the human race.

i do believe in compromise, I believe any relationship without it ...it isn't a relationship.
You have my apology that the human race is not as pretty as it was portrayed in books and fairy tales.Pleae use what you've learned not to build a cabin 100 miles from nowhere, instead fight and change the things that offend you the most. indeed do what ever you see id=s the best solution, just always keep in mind, It may take compromise to even start.
When you consider the time it takes to compile stats, and the publishing of what ever book or written material that was used they are outdated before they hit the classrooms.
good luck in all your studies, we need you out here to help effect change in the human race

I agree with tumpa - if and only if there is mutual respect. If you are both mature, reasonable, rational people, compromise can result. Very rare.
I find its easier to reach a compromise with a man than a woman. Most men are less emotional, more rational, and way less likely to hold the whole relationship hostage until she gets her way.

i did, however, hope that this new generation would have given up on some of its prejudices. in that, i was wholeheartedly disappointed.
they just developed new and less obvious ones, along with the nes the generations before gave them...
Prejudices are an open festerng sore on the human race.
when did prejudice first rear its head, in the annuals of history where is it recoreded to have begun?

Truth needs no defense...
How many versions of True can there be????

Lack of compromise is why I divorced, well one of the reasons.
As to friends, I have quite a few and our opinions and beliefs can be different but we can agree to disagree, which is compromise.
If I find myself in the wrong I will apologise. Any sort of friendship or relationship has to be a compromise to exist.
