Many of you may have found yourselves in that most awkward of positions: arguing with an Aries. This doesn’t have to be as big a hassle as it often turns out to be. Follow a few simple rules and you can walk away unscathed! So,(thanks to the incredibly flexible nature of the copyright on WikiHow illustrations) here’s an illustrated guide to arguing with an Aries!
1) DON’T DISAGREE WITH THE PREMISE. If Aries is observably wrong but still wants a brawl, pointing out the error Aries is making will only make Aries attack with greater fury.
2) ASSERT YOURSELF AND DON’T SHOW FEAR. Simply agreeing with Aries and leaving or changing the subject will often provoke Aries’ desire for combat. Stand your ground, even if you don’t care in the least about the matter being discussed.
3) EYE CONTACT IS IMPORTANT. It shows that you are taking Aries seriously. Too much eye contact though, and your attitude could be taken as challenging or dismissive. Ideally, try to look like you really care but are also incredibly busy with something else.
4) NOD IN AGREEMENT, BUT DON’T LOWER YOUR HEAD TOO MUCH. Too much nodding can be taken as sarcasm, and lowering your head as if you are about to ram an Aries is unwise at the best of times.
5) LET ARIES GET IT ALL OUT. Regardless of how emphatic an Aries is, he/she will usually lose steam in a couple of minutes if allowed to vent. Once it’s safe, let Aries go on about their point, regardless of its validity.
6) DON’T GET CAUGHT BE CONDESCENDING OR DISMISSIVE! This will only agitate an Aries more, and you’ll have to immediately start over at Step One all over again… as opposed to have to start over with a different subject later in the day.
