Would you date a fighter?

[Anonymous]

There's a girl at my gym that I find attractive, but she does MMA. She hits extremely hard and has a lot of experience. I feel like I wouldn't date her because I don't want my nose/arm/leg broken when we eventually get into an argument lol. I've been told that I'm being a [cat] and that men shouldn't be afraid of being beat up by their female partners, but I also tried grappling and boxing as well. I know how strong trained fighters are against ordinary untrained people, and I don't want a part of it. What do you all think?

I think you are confusing what MMA is, your perception of who MMA fighters could be, and the reach of MMA. Granted, MMA is an odd valley as it is somewhat ruthless even though it derives from martial art which are lands of many rules, including moral rules and philosophy. But...

Even then, I don't think MMA fighters are the enraged able to break bones for nothing, it is still sports. Not everyday life, sports.

Given that a man calling the cops on his abusive girlfriend is more likely to BE arrested (thanks, Feminism!), I don't blame you at all for being worried- but what makes you think she WOULD turn violent in an argument? A person doesn't automatically become dangerous just because they'd be good at violence.

I don't think it is entirely fair to judge that! There's a lot of guys who fight, so should girls be scared to date them? Someone with good character and self control will be able to separate their passions/ hobbies from how to act in their personal life and with their partner. If you think she has anger issues and will be physical abusive, that's entirely different thing than just she's a fighter.

if you believe a fight will end in violence, then do not date that person.

Don’t worry about it, even with real training all girls just aim low because of sh*tty instincts or something. You just need to be in a state of constant awareness. Not a form of anxiety, just always staying prepared.

Wow thanks, I've read a lot non-sense regarding women and their alleged genetic flaws, but that one is new 🤣

[DaBiggestBird]

@Maybe_Maybe_not What are talking about? This is old news, old as dinosaurs

[DaBiggestBird]

It’s like trying to explain to some nasty ass kid why getting into gangs and doing stupid sh*t isn’t good, and after getting into jail for about a month they say they’ve changed, and then do the same bullsh*t literally like a week later

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Well, at least you recognize that dinosaurs have existed, that's relieving, but just a little lol

[DaBiggestBird]

@Maybe_Maybe_not of course! I love dinosaurs. Anyway, back to the main point. I appoint you on a new mission. Generate a personal dimension in your mind that you can roam freely. Practice all of your training there, so you may rise above those who reign below. Too many of our people have by their own ignorance, fallen victim to the pursuit of malevolent emasculation. Don’t be like them

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Your mission has been denied, unless you have money, then we can discuss the terms for a contract

What makes you think she'll become violent in an argument?
Do you and are you just afraid you won't have the upper hand? Because if that's the case you should do women a favor and not date.

[Asker]

No I don't fight and I don't get violent in arguments. I've heard her specifically say some wild things like she would "kill" a man for cheating.

[Zenpanda]

How about just not cheating? No problem if you don't.
And would you blame her for becoming violent if someone cheats on her? That's horrible to experience

[Asker]

That's a terrible way to think tbh. Cheating is bad, but yes I will blame her for becoming violent. If you think killing someone over cheating is okay, you should do women a favor and not date

[Zenpanda]

You realise "I'll kill someone for cheating" is just an expression 99.99% of the time right? Of course I don't condone killing for cheating

[Asker]

Sure man, I will remember not to cheat if I ever plan to in the future

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Killing for cheating is not only a metaphor, there is also the thing that fists are FAR LESS dangerous than guns. So anyone, fighter or not, if you live in a country allowing guns, will not even need MMA to kill you lol

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

And there are knives also
