'Know how to agree to disagree':
"One of the important and attractive elements of confidence for both men and women is knowing how to agree to disagree and move on with a conversation without getting stuck on the disagreement about something that you shouldn’t take personally, and allowing it to turn into a fight. On the other hand, when you don’t know how to agree to disagree and you turn a disagreement into a fight, or you try to convince the other person every which way you can that you are right and he or she is wrong, it will make you come across as someone who is insecure, or even worse – someone who is psychotic and who has temper issues. And men are guilty of that more often than women. I’ve heard quite a few times before how a woman would go out on a first date with a guy; they would have a nice dinner and a nice conversation, and then at a certain point they will start talking about politics and they will find out that they disagree on a certain political issue. But instead of letting it go, the guy will try to convince her every which way he can why he’s right and she’s wrong – turning that conversation into a fight and ruining everything for both of them. There is no reason to get stuck and turn a disagreement on something that you shouldn’t take personally into a fight. You should learn how to respect the other person’s perspective and the other person’s opinion, and move on with the conversation, unless that disagreement is so fundamental that you know that you’re not gonna be able get along with that person because of the disagreement. Thank you."
