Why do most people say this (title) when they end up in an argument they can't win? A kind of last resort is it? Attacking the only noticable vulnerability? You having a girlfriend somehow makes my arguments and opinions void? And how the hell can I respond to something like that? Except with the confused "That does not have anything to do with the subject of discussion."
:lol:
I'll leave you wondering and go to sleep.
Maybe they think that the person is like an egg......chicken...get it... :lol:
I often laugh at whoever tells me this. I believe that in general, there is the suggestion that sex relaxes the person, and if a person gets laid more, they won't be so argumentative... it's a weird way of saying you need to lighten up... or "you need to calm down" some people use the phrase, you need to get laid as a joke, and simply don't know what to say!
I suspect that the real reason is that you are winning the argument and your interlocutor is either a). trying to taunt you if they know you do not have a girlfriend or b). implying that there are other things more important than winning the argument to them or c). they are trying to imply that the reason why you have sharpened your wits sufficiently to beat them at the argument is because you are not distracted by 'normal' preoccupations or d). they are 'playing to the gallery', if they have a group of 'friends' around them and they are trying to isolate or marginalise you. It is standard operating procedure in some circles, especially where winning an argument is a tool for ascending the social hierarchy.
Either way, it is a tacit concession on their part that you have beaten them at the argument.
You know how to respond to that just say "Your mom" thats gets an NT everytime. Well thats what us teens say. Or if someone tells you"your mom" You gotta say "Your face!" That gets them everytime too. heres an example:
"man.. you need to get laid"-NT
"Your mom!"-you
"What's your problem man?"-NT
"your mom"-you
"Your mom"-NT
"your face!"-you
another good response: "Well, since you're offering..."
Although you have to be careful using that one as a woman: some guys tend to think you're serious!

An NT girl I used to know used to respond to that "You need to get laid!" comment with something along the lines of "Don't you think you should at least get the drinks in first" if is was a guy lol. Worst case outcome of that seamed to be the guy going off to buy her and himself a drink lol.
I had not heard of the expression, "you need to get laid", in the context of losing an argument.
I know it is slang for making love - to use a polite expression. I thought it originated in the USA in the 1960s.

Doesn't every gross and or sex term come from the us? LOL
Like the F word.
I like the "your mom" approach. Basically it can't fail.
I had a friend who used to use that a lot.
Interestingly, he was making every apparent attempt at it himself and failing miserably.
I usually give them a long lecture on how I'm not interested at the moment.
That tends to teach them not to try it again.

Actually, it comes from Old Anglo-Saxon.

It could with your siblings. . .
Depends whether you believe Freud or not.
It means "You are WAY TOO INTENSE and you need to burn off that energy some other way."
I'm a pretty intense NT person...the kinde gentler signal I get from my partner when I need to turn down the intensity a bit is "10 000 watts"
the scarecrow on the other end of your spat is just being an irate simpleton. and wishes you would stop being tenacious (read: actually using your resources within the spat).
this happens to me a lot with friends. sort of a reaction like "Why did you not give up the argument?", they are assuming i am taking things really seriously, but being ASPY .... i am just doing what comes at the moment.
sometimes it means i become unyielding. they often do not realize we have begun to scrape because of what THEY have said ;)
They have usually stated an objection without securing it as something they do not have a stake in, which often they do - as then when i begin to "fight back" rather than accept, they continue as well.
