When a woman is around, why do men fight?

[Anonymous]

So I’ve been put in a lot of situations where I’m with one particular guy and he invites me to his place and he’s having a party or he’s with his friends or roommates and then a full on fight (fists flying, WWE wresting tackles) start or sometimes where it’s a full on argument. And it’s happened so many times. So does that mean I’m attractive and their jealous? Or am I butt ugly and one made a joke and the guy I was with had to defend his choices? Does anyone know?

Well ut appears you're making an assumption that it only happens when your around, as i know of plentu of guys who simply interact with their friend like that and there are no hard feelings or anything really behind it. However some guys like to fight around women to prove their capacity to defend a partner, and women generally are known to be very attractived to individuals who have just acted violently (obviously within reason).

No, it feels very scary to watch men fight. You feel unsafe.

[CindersFire]

Thats why I said within reason. If a guy throws down without warning, it has the opposite affect as he is then shown to be unpredictiable. However in organized fights (such as boxing or UFC) or in a situation where the woman isn't under any real threat it can often have a very positive effect.

How do you know they are fighting about you?

[Asker]

I don't know if it’s about me... just I’ve noticed when I’m around it happens. All of these men don’t know each other and it was different ages of my life. I was simply looking for an explanation.

[spartan55]

You don't know if it's about you, but you think it could be various things related to you... oookay. Guys fight, only they know why.

No one knows but the guys who fought and people who were there to hear why.

[Asker]

Lol...

Hippity-hoppity, women are property.

[Asker]

I mean you worded this weirdly - like you were tryna be a jerk. However, this could possibly be a reason. Like they were fighting for my attention? Like a whose penis is bigger type of thing? A literal cock fight?

The property is slowly learning.

Toxic masculinity?

[Asker]

Quite possibly.
