Having witnessed a few girls fighting, I can't help but wonder why they suck so fiercely at it. Pulling from hair, slapping, pulling from leg or arm... Pulling off clothes. Why don't girls punch each other in the face properly? It wouldn't take many blows to put the opponent down...as opposed to this slapping and rolling around bullsh*t.

I grew up in the hood so I had to learn to fight at a young age. I've gotten in fights with girls when I was younger and beat them bloody. I got in a fight with one girl when I was in junior high and she has a long 5 inch scar on her face till this day. When I used to get in fights I'd take my earrings off and tie my hair back and that pretty much eliminates 60% of the attacks most girls use anyway.

But fighting is really lame unless you are defending yourself or your family. No one should be fighting past 18.

Women have perfected the art of psychological warfare so we mainly stick to that. Ruining a girl's rep, making no one like her, and destroying her socially is much greater and long lasting emotional damage than a few bruises that will go away.

koloblicin See psychological warfare is fine in highschool....but in the outside world, what happens if someone pulls a gun or knife on you? what happens if a guy tries to rape you? what do girls do then? kick, scream, scratch, pull hair? sorry but most of that would simply anger an attacker so he would hurt her more...besides screaming there are better solutions to all of those... - 2 months ago

In my high school, the best fights are the girl fights. They always last the longest and have the most blood. Maybe that is just my school, but they are never a disappointment in the end. The guys have one punch and they are done or just sit on the other punching the kid on the ground in the face.

MrNameless And you'd rather watch and entertain yourself, rather than break it up or walk away from fights due to their childish nature? - 18 days ago
Answerer At my high school, you break up a fight, you end up getting hurt. Last week, my math teacher recieved a black eye and another got pushed to the ground because they tried to break up a fight. My school tells the students not to get involved in stopping a fight, just wait until security comes because the students and teachers who try to stop it, almost always get hurt. - 16 days ago

When girls fight it's normally in response fo being hurt emotionally. A lot of girls bottle up their feelings untill they explode. Some girls cry, exercise, listen to music or "talk it out". Others yell, b*tch, or fight. It really depends on the person.

The girls who get in those kinds of fights are stupid drama queen p*ssies who don't know what they're doing. If they actually wanted to hurt the other girl, they would just punch them. All they want to do is mess up their opponent's hair and make her even more angry. If a girl p*sses me off, I won't hesitate to give her a good punch in the face. And if she pulls my hair, she's just asking for more trouble.

fighting is almost completely pointless unless your trying not to get kidnapped or something of that nature. guys fight differently because they generally have more brute strength and are more or less raised that way. either way, no matter whos fighting, your gonna get in trouble because of the spectacle you're making. if you don't wana get in trouble, don't fight. but lets say for some reason you had to fight because some one was going to try to kill your family...in that case you don't fight, you kill them.haha but you have to be quiet and logical about it. don't tell anyone or talk about the person at all, kill them in a situation were there will be minimal struggle (so they don't f*ck up your idea) and don't leave anyone with a grudge or witnesses. but you'll still probably get caught.haha hope this helps :)

I've always wondered this as well. Although, I've never fought anyone other than my sisters (and I don't want to inflict serious harm on them!) While fighting is cathartic, I don't think women's objectives are to break bones or cause any permanent damage; unlike guys who may break a nose, crack a rib, or lose a tooth. We prefer more of a psychological warfare aspect. Catfights cause minimal damage, but inflict lots of emotional pain and embarrassment.

Besides, how many dad's teach their daughters to fight... well, other than mine. :D

If it's a serious "so p*ssed I'm going to beat you f*cking bloody and f*ck how pretty I look" situation, with girls whose only thought is that they want the other girl dead, they can fight. I've seen girls slam each others heads into lockers, break noses, kick, punch, elbow, go for the throat, all that. It's scary, especially when they don't know when to stop. You're probably thinking of girls who just flat-out have never fought before and thus don't know what they're doing; obviously they're going to suck. Don't generalize off one situation.

Question Asker I don't want anyone to fight. I am merely curious as to whether the fighting I've seen is intentional or inherent behavior in terms of how restrained it looks from a guy's perspective. I do not for a second believe that violence is the answer (as a general rule; self-defense is another matter), but it is common human behavior, and I find it interesting to analyze. - 2 months ago
SmarmyMarsh ...Wow.
Because the world isn't a nice place, and someone legitimately trying to hurt you isn't going to care that you're too mature to fight back. At some point you probably ARE going to need to defend yourself, and you have a better chance of getting away with only a few bruises if you know what you're doing. - 2 months ago

I think it's because the fight is more psychological. Many girls instead of physically hurting each other are more likely to go out and destroy each other until the other girl has broken down and started crying. Ruining their reputation, making them social outcasts. Lol, think of Mean Girls, that movie did have some grains of truth in it. =)

Were you watching girls actually fighting, or were you watching girls "fighting"? Because there is a difference. If girls are actually trying to seriously hurt each other, they will punch and kick and actually try to injure each other, but if it's just some stupid attention whore bullsh*t then they'll do things like what you described.

Firstly girls are not naturally fighters like guys are, since evolution has made us their protectors. Also most girls just don't know how to fight so they naturally look ridiculous when in a brawl. Having said that I don't mean to say girls cannot be good fighters with excessive training, but naturally they are at a disadvantage compared to guys.

"Well, just because we have the intelligence to be able to use are voices rather thgen are fists"
LOL, nice spelling there xD
Really, as if there's some kind of intellectual reasoning behind screaming... >_<
Being good at talking doesn't justify being crap at fighting... The two have nothing in common.
Besides, according to whom is shouting and arguing to the point which neither of you have any idea what the other is saying the smarter decision? (That's what I've observed when women reach the same level of rage that would lead to a man fight another) Not to say that fighting is a good decision... Personally I find the psychological damage more harmful than the physical damage males cause each other when they fight. It lasts...
The difference is that causing psychological damage isn't frowned upon by the law/society as much as fighting is. Allowing women to do it a lot more. The level to which the fight is taken to will obviously differ... Like not all men are cold blooded killing machines... and all women aren't psychological bullies...
"Girls fight psychologically" shouldn't apply here anyway. It says "after witnessing a few girls fighting [physically]". I mean, you don't get physical unless you want to do damage... Especially if it's with someone you hate. As if you wouldn't want to hurt them or something...
To me there's no middle ground when it comes to fighting. I'd only ever fight if I had the intention of knocking the guy out (whether or not I could do that is another story). A last resort if you will.
Thus far I've kept a clean record :)

Yeah, I know what you mean... its kinda sad sometimes,

and its not always a matter of fighting but even self defense. Girls suck at it unless they are REALLY experienced at fighting with boys, (growing up with brothers, ect.) or have had training.

Many of the girls I know, I could easily pin down, tie up and drag away...Im a 115lb, 5'5" 17y/o...not exactly a buff guy...and if I could do it...whats to stop a guy who really wants to hurt them from doing that?

I see this and I'm VERY protective of the girls I know and often worry when they go out alone or with people I don't know or guys I find "questionable."

Now being as small as I am I have people picking fights with me all the time, many of whom are much bigger and stronger...I usually win... so if I can do it, then a girl the same size could, they just need to get over the idea of being frail and do it...

well you know already girls and especially women spend lots of effort and money maintaining their looks, men are so different in that, scars on our faces can look attractive sometimes and we don't have to be visually perfect, while women would be extremely sensitive about anything barely noticed on their faces, or even their bodies, it's just the traditional culture and stereotypes. So you see, they've got to be careful... an angry girl knows if she did something to the other girl's face she will get the same, while we guys don't care that much they give it a fast and exceptional and an expectational thinking. Their claws are so are deadly and they know that, it's like you're fighting with a guy that holds knives and stuff in his fists, would you want to go any further with him?

Another reasons is that, women can be destroyed only with "words", telling a secret loudly when others are around, saying something bad about her or just mentioning something that she has a complexity about, and so on... it gets extremely dangerous when it's about their reputation or behavior, so we can say they will try to look and behave classy ESPECIALLY when the alikes of you and me are present! you simply won't have the chance in your life seeing 2 women fighting aggressively because they don't want to look like that in front of the opposite sex, and they know, the other girl might start spitting out secrets or bad stuff to affect the other girl's reputation...

I saw a recorded fight once that was one of the most scary things I've seen, the first girl didn't do much meanwhile the second girl was completely out of control.
The girl was punching her, roughly pulling hair to force her down and when she fell down the girl started to kick furiously towards her face.

I felt real sick after watching it, terrifying, I've never seen such fight before and maybe for guys it was definately something that you don't expecting girls to do.
Girls should not fight.

I know surely that girls are more into humiliating those people they don't like, especially other girls, usually playing their psychical games all the time to show whos the better one.

Guys aren't like that, we prefer to keep it simple, and when we get it over, the problem is gone.
