Arguments, like men are often pretenders

Arguments, like men are often pretenders

Summary

This quote suggests that arguments, like men, have a tendency to deceive or pretend to be something they are not. It implies that arguments can be manipulative or insincere, presenting themselves in a way that is persuasive or convincing but lacking genuine intent or merit. Like individuals who put on a facade, arguments can falsely present their logic or evidence to win over others, highlighting the need to examine arguments critically and not be easily swayed by their superficial traits.

I still do. If you want me.
