In an argument why do most women always have to get the last word in?
Even if it doesn't make any sense at all.
Does it matter?
Hell, let her have the last word. It'll get the argument over with quicker - and the quicker the argument is over, the quicker you'll get to the makeup sex.
It's not just women. People who feel the need to always get the last word in are usually stubborn, full of pride, and feel they have to have control over the course of the discussion or argument in order to close it out on their terms. I used to be this way in arguments, but I've learned it's often better to take the high road and let someone else get the last word in. Allow them to reach a closure point in the argument or it will eventually escalate.
Now, just because you let a woman get the last word in, doesn't mean you've heard the last of the argument. At some point, it may be minutes, days, weeks, months or 15 years later, you're going to hear about it again. It'll come up when you are arguing over something completely unrelated to the original argument which you have long forgotten about.
I don't agree that "most women" get the last word in - I think it's more of a control issue, if you are with a very controlling person chances are, you are always going to get in the last word - male or female.
I'm a woman, and I never have to have the last word in an argument. Instead I just smile sweetly, silently dripping sarcasm, until the other party goes nuts. It just works better for me.
Now, I think we've said all that can be said. This thread should be closed.

in over 50 years of living, in all truthfulness this has never even appeared on my radar, for men or for women. Guess what? Some people simply don't play that game because there are healthier ways to communicate
if it's something that bugs you, than it's probably because you have a vested interest in it yourself, as in it matters to you because you are into one upmanship yourself. if you weren't "keeping score" yourself, then you wouldn't even notice. Like a friend of mine says, "You spot it, you got it."
coolhand says it so well.....
