Girls, Could my female friend really beat me in a fight?

[Anonymous]

I met a girl from school who does gymnastics and thinks she could beat me in a fight. I am a 90kg and athletic male build and 6'3, she is half my weight and almost half of my height she is 48kg and 5'0 slim build.

We had an argument about whether a girl could beat a guy in a real street fight, then she challenged me to fight her on the oval next week. The rules are no eye poking and that is it! She is so confident she can beat me and when I ask her how she could even win she just smirks at me and says "you just wait, you will be on the ground crying within seconds, I have taken down my dad the same way and had him in tears with the same single punch".

I don't think she understands how much stronger and taller I am than her, i have no training in fighting but even if I didn't try I would still be able to win easily, any ideas what she is planning? Have any girls beat guys in fights or hurt them somehow despite height and strength disadvantages?

PS. I'm not a girl abuser, I won't actually hit her, if anything I would just place her gently on the ground but if she hits me I doubt it will hurt at all so it doesn't bother me.

Ever heard of the saying, the bigger they are the harder they fall?

All she would need is to be agile, swift and know the weak points and she would be able to take you down.

Am not denying the fact that men are physically stronger. Nor does it mean that a man cannot be beaten in a fight.

[Asker]

I have heard the saying, I just haven't seen it actually happen :P haha.

That is a good point, she claims she could have me on the ground crying in one punch though and she seems like she is being serious about that? She says when she was younger she punched her dad once and he was on the floor in tears and her mom had to help him get up after like half an hour. I feel like she is just trying to act tough, but then again is there some sort of girl power I am not aware of? :'D

She is up to my chest height, it is questionable whether she can even reach my face with her fist haha.

Scientifically, a woman simply cannot "beat you" in a fight. Even if a male were to use all his force, the woman would most likely lose.

If it's f x f, there is an equal force.
f x m is not an equal force as m generally produces more force.

[Asker]

She says it is not all about strength, muscle or force but technique and pain tolerance for me lol. I'm not sure what these magic techniques are that she is talking about.

[LeRetard]

Your brain cannot predict a fight, especially during fight or fight mode. Those "techniques" she speaks of will hold no chance because you cannot predict what the other would do.

[Asker]

I guess, but even if I just stand there and do nothing I still don't think she could take me down with a single punch like she claims she could, she has weak little arms and no power lol.

[LeRetard]

A woman's punch can be painful, however men can endure that force easily. Had it been vice versa, she would have instantaneously been on the ground.

She means she’ll hit you in the balls. A lot of girls have that mentality. “Oh, I’ll just hit him in the magic off button and the fight will be over.” They underestimate the strength difference between men and women. You can’t let her think that way or else she will get hurt later in life when she feels to confident about overpowering a man. To answer your question, the average woman can’t even beat the average man in a fight. Compound that with the fact that you’re taller than average while she’s shorter, and she has a slim build - she has almost no chance.

[loveshorro]

Hit you in the crotch. Also she’s little so she’ll be more agile. Not saying she’d win but if she knows any weak spots for pain she can make it hurt bad. Woman tend to have a higher pain tolerance. Good luck. Wear a cup if you’ve got one

[Asker]

Hahaha you really think she would do that? Isn't that not allowed in fights?

She said no rules and "no equipment" I assumed that meant mouthguard and headgear and shoes but I didn't really think about the fact that I wouldn't be able to wear a cup either because I don't even have one.

Maybe that is what she meant when she said she has taken her dad down in one punch when she was younger 😬. I haven't been hit there before, would it really have me on the ground crying from one hit?

[loveshorro]

If she said no rules then she very well could. I can take my boyfriend who’s much stronger down with my thighs and wrestling, also flexible. If you get hit in the crotch you will cry on the ground and curl up into a ball

[Asker]

Really? Now you have me afraid :( surely it cannot hurt that bad? How do you know that it will have me crying on the ground have you done it to someone? I guess even just anything touching the area can be uncomfortable, I can't imagine the pain from a hard impact.

Should I decline the challenge now? Then she will make fun of me though :S

[loveshorro]

I’ve hit someone in the crotch and there’s a reason in self defence they tell girls to go for the eyes and crotch. It’s extremely painful and the harder the hit the more pain

[Asker]

Good point, I always hear people say to do that for self defense, would it hurt her if I did it back to her though so that we are fair then?

[RileyP]

It would hurt her some if you did it back but it's nowhere near the same. Besides, there is no such thing as fair when there are virtually no rules.

My advice is to not underestimate her. Your height advantage would help you overall, but she could use quickness to get inside your guard and uppercut you in the balls. She could definitely beat you that way with a single punch and is probably what she did to her dad. It would put you on the ground in tremendous pain. You'll be surprised at how much it hurts and how long it will keep you down since you've never been hit there.

I once beat a guy that was quite a bit bigger than me by hitting him in the family jewels. Some girls can be much tougher than expected, especially since she is a gymnast because she definitely has agility, flexibility, and quickness, which are very useful in a fight.

I'm not saying you should back out of the challenge, but she is planning on hitting you in the nuts to win. Good luck and protect yourself. I'm curious to know the result if you fight her. I think you can win if you avoid the low blow.

[Asker]

@RileyP I never updated this post but yes unfortunately you were both right, we met in the park and she asked if I was ready so I stood there waiting for her to hit me and she threw her left hand up near my face and then as I put my hands up to stop it from making contact she went under and did a quick punch below the belt and landed right on target I have never been in so much pain in my life it was the worst experience ever

She knew i was finished straight away as she landed it because she stopped attacking straight after landing that punch and i fell on the ground and cried and i couldn't breathe or get up i could only lay there and try not to die and she just started putting her bag back on and started walking away and just left me on the oval crying to myself

So she proved her point in a brutal and painful way, a girl half my size can definitely beat me in a fight when there are no rules or equipment

[RileyP]

You gotta protect your nuts even when a distracting punch is thrown elsewhere. She set you up. Did you feel humiliated? I imagine it is a very humbling experience when a small girl wins against a bigger guy. At least she didn't taunt you afterwards and let you recover in peace.

[Asker]

@RileyP I just didn't think she would actually hit them as I thought she would have concern that it would affect my chances of having kids someday but it didn't seem to bother her

It was so humiliating and it made me realize that guys really aren't all as tough as we like to think

No it wasn't a peaceful recovery I don't know why but I almost vomited and I could feel it in my stomach

And yeah she mentioned that it was the technique she used to take down her down in one punch and I can see exactly why now

[RileyP]

Now you know not to underestimate girls. I've never understood why the phrase "he's got balls" is used to describe toughness. Guys definitely aren't so tough when they get hit there.

It sounds like you didn't expect it to hurt that much. How does it make you feel to know that virtually any girl can drop you easily like that?

[Asker]

@RileyP yeah I way underestimated her.. and I guess because the balls are what makes a guy bigger and muscular but then they are also sensitive and vulnerable at the same time

It is kind of embarrassing... I don't like the thought that no matter how much I train and go to the gym and get stronger i will always have that massive vulnerability and she does not

[RileyP]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy how even a small girl can badly hurt a muscular guy that way. Do you think it's fair for girls to win that way or do you consider it dirty fighting?

[Asker]

@RileyP I think it depends on the rules, if there are no rules at all then I don't see how it is somehow unfair to hit the balls when you can hit anywhere else

But I do think it is unfair that god did that to us, I would have rather be the same strength as girl but not have such an obvious and easy target that ends the fight straight away

It is dirty if it is just playful and then you go for the nuts because that is escalating it way more then because even a soft punch would put me on the floor instantly

[RileyP]

Interesting point about the male body. I can see why you think it is unfair how a guy can build up a lot more strength only to be taken down by one hit to the balls and it doesn't even have to be a hard hit. Your fight with your female friend is a good example. Maybe next time you should make rules against it. Have you talked with her since she beat you? I imagine it has given her a confidence boost.

[Asker]

@RileyP she insists on no rules if we do stuff like that so I can't even defend myself with the rule book and she insists on no equipment except mouthguards maybe but she always says we would never need them anyway because the fights wouldn't go long enough and she doesn't even need to go for the face :/ she said her dad is afraid of her because she used to get him like that and I can see why now

Yeah we saw eachother since and now whenever we have a disagreement she either pretends to swing her hand towards my balls really quick so I flinch and look stupid or she says she will punch me in the balls to get her own way because she knows I am afraid of it now

[RileyP]

She's a lot shorter than you so the punching you in the mouth would be more difficult and less effective and she doesn't really need to do that with no rules anyway because a strike to the testicles is more useful and easier to do.

How old is this girl? It sounds like her dad would have difficulty in telling her what to do since he's scared.

No offense but she has emasculated you. You are completely under her control. You're going to have to man up and take back your dignity. You are much bigger and stronger than her and you must learn not to fear her attacks. Otherwise you'll never feel comfortable and safe around her. Tell her to stop hitting your balls and see how she responds.

[Asker]

@RileyP yeah exactly.. she knows that she doesn't even have to bother going anywhere else now so fighting her will always be a loss for me unless there were rules or I could wear a protective guard :/ and yeh she is around the right height to throw quick punches at my balls

She never mentioned how old she was when she hit him in the balls she said she just did it once because she found out about the balls from her mother laughing talking to her friend about her friends son getting hit in the balls so my friend wanted to try it and it worked

She doesn't even have to hit my balls she just quickly moves her hand near them and I can't help but flinch really quick and cover my balls and she does it in public around people and it makes me look like an idiot and then she says "what's wrong?" And pretends she was just trying to tie her shoelaces or brush her pants off or something

[RileyP]

Yeah, short girls have easy access to punch tall guys in the balls. Being short does have a few advantages. Maybe you should wear a cup around her so you'll feel safe.

Do you think you could have a rematch and win? That might make her stop being so mean to you. Keep moving around a lot and then grab her in such a way that it would be hard for her to hit your balls. She's probably super confident right now and would probably agree to another fight.

You're a lot bigger and stronger. I'm assuming you have big muscles based on your description of yourself, so take off your shirt and flex. Intimidate her in any way you can. You've got to strike fear into her and regain your manhood. Otherwise she's going to be causing you grief for a long time.

[Asker]

@RileyP yeah she is at the perfect height to punch straight at my balls! I don't want to wear a cup because if she hit it she would yell out to her friends and tell them I'm wearing one and they would laugh at me

I am to afraid to fight her again as she is really fast and wears tight clothing so getting a proper hold of her in a fight would be difficult without her just straight away throwing punches at my balls

I am much more muscular than she is but that doesn't scare her because she knows I can strengthen my arms and chest and abs all I want and they can take more hits but not my balls so there isn't much I can think to do, her plan worked and she has me in the same spot she would have had her dad in, just always on edge when she moves her arms and hands around

[RileyP]

Wow, a small girl has you under her control. How does that make you feel? It doesn't sound like you are the "stronger sex." I wonder if she could beat you without hitting you in the balls.

She must think you are a wimp. I bet she brags about it to her friends. Maybe if you ask nicely she will take it easy on you.

I guess you might as well stop wasting your time working out to build up your muscles since she is going attack your nuts anyway. I can't imagine how humiliating it must be to lose to her and be afraid to fight her.

Sorry, I don't want to make fun. It's just hard to believe it hurts that much when she punches you in the balls. Does she even punch hard?

[Asker]

@RileyP I am stronger than her, ironically because of my balls, but I am also easily beating in a fight with her because of my balls

She can't punch very hard but she doesn't need to, she punches hard enough that when she punches my balls I couldn't stay standing no matter how much I tried and I couldn't take the pain without crying and falling to the ground
