shockwave said:There are some funny comments here. I like the ones where the wife/gf has a real problem with guns, but the wise and logical husband uses patient arguments to counter all her objections and, finally, grudgingly, she admits that the man is correct and she was wrong.
Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus. If a woman has a problem with guns, there probably is no "reason" for that per se, she just don't like 'em and they make her uncomfortable. It's likely to be purely emotional. Hey guys, you had much luck winning arguments with the wife?
Even if you won, you lost.
So here, any success is going to come from addressing the emotional issues at play, which is why recommended going out to the range if possible. If she sees other women shooting, she might be able to envision herself doing that. If she has fun, she'll be down with the gun. This essay at corneredcat on "How to make your wife hate guns" is brilliant. Lots to learn there.
LOL...I noticed the same thing. I didn't say anything though. I just figured some guys here have dated the type of woman that's NOT in my set of friends or prior relationships.
