How to Win an Argument?

What type of arguer are you?
Do you prefer the “all out screaming match” approach?
The “quiet sit down and talk” approach?
The “ignore each till someone cracks” approach?
Do you give up just for peace?
Have you ever lost a relationship because of constant arguments?
(I’m not talking about violence here, mainly verbal arguments although I’ve punched holes in walls and doors in the past and broken stuff, have you?)
How do you handle the situation where the other person continually sucks you into an argument that you never seem to be able to win?
Personally I am lucky, my wife and I rarely argue, but when we do it’s usually about something stupid…......I tend to go a bit quiet, not do the loud shout thing, and depending on the reason for the argument, even if I’m wrong it will take me a wee while to back down and admit it. (stubborn Scottish pride) But the wife, she’s the opposite, she shouts, screams and nags for an immediate resolution to the argument.
I also think a good argument can be good for a relationship – it kind of clears the static as it were.
How about you guys?
Is there such a thing as a perfect argument?
