Is the "Killer Instinct" attractive to you (VERY SERIOUS)?

[TomGarand]

Lemme explain.

About a year ago, I revealed in a question that I find it attractive if a woman is willing to kill things. It originated from my ex-girlfriend killing a rattlesnake that nearly bit her father. And she wasn't upset about doing it at all.

(SERIOUS) Do you find women who can kill attractive? Is that wrong?I asked if finding it attractive if a woman has the nerve to kill something/someone is fucked up. Surprisingly, no one said I was in the wrong, and they were pretty understanding about it.

To me, the "Killer Instinct" is attractive because taking a life--human or otherwise--is a very serious act to commit, and anyone who has it must be tough, mentally or emotionally.

Plus, being willing to do that, in my opinion, makes you a better fighter, hunter, warrior, and protector.

... I'm African-American, but I'm convinced one of my ancestors was a Spartan.

But what do you guys and gals think. Is it attractive to you when a man/woman is willing to kill something or someone?

Do you find the Killer Instinct attractive?

I would say killer instinct is a necessity. We needed to have it to survive through evolution to eat the animals we killed and to defend ourselves against fellow men.

Yes. It is a good trait to have provided it isn't used in a way to intimidate or a just because viewpoint. If I am killing something, it is because I am trying to survive.

[TomGarand]

I meant attractive in a partner. Again, one of the reasons I fell in love with my ex-girlfriend was because she had the balls to kill something.

[ShadezMcgee]

My answer still applies. Only if the situation calls for it like for gathering food or self defense. Not as a means to try and intimidate or threaten people or actually do so just because they feel like it.

Wait so you're telling me that the reason why rita back in grade 1 spoke to me was because I was killing all those ants?

[TomGarand]

Heck if I know. But is it attractive to you personally?

[JosyJosy]

Kind of, I can count on that person if things go south

[JosyJosy]

but I call it Survival instinct

[TomGarand]

What if the killing was part of a job or hobby, like hunting or working as a park ranger?

[JosyJosy]

as long as they put that animal to some good use, or it's pest control, no problem

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, but being anti self defense is unattractive.
I prefer the middle ground, sweet, passive, and bubbly by default, but don't mess with her or anyone she loves.

[TomGarand]

You don't care about the killer instinct either way?

[TheSpaceGnome]

Thats not even close to what I said.

[TomGarand]

Oh. Well, anything you have to say about my reasoning here?

[TheSpaceGnome]

I don't think it makes a person mentally or emotionally tougher to kill something.

"Tough" implies durability, but being less emotional and more willing to kill doesn't make you more durable, it makes you more fragile (and worse at relationship bonding since emotions are top teir for that).

Look at veteran soldiers, hunters, guards, fighters, warriors, etc. they all typically age faster because they live harsher lives, and tend to get ptsd and severe injuries more often, and are usually not great with being their for a spouse, and all that damage leads to being fragile.

Being rich makes you tougher, empathy gives connections which make you tougher, education that gets used right makes you tougher.

But being a "badass" or a sociopath, or just a high risk taker, actually increases the odds of early death and chronic illness, because 1. you paint a bullseye on your head from creating enemies, and 2. you succumb to severe injuries from dangerous situations.

Also killing should be discomforting, it's what makes society not revert to barbaric behavior on the norm.

Being able to kill to defend one's self is good, but the trait of deriving pleasure or apathy from killing makes a person dangerous to be around.

I would prefer a woman who can defend herself if needed, but doesn't enjoy having to do so, and "alpha" mentality types are a turn off, whereas being logical, emotional, and having a heart of gold is a turn on.

[TheSpaceGnome]

If you want to be tough, you gotta retain youth, be super careful in life, and make many allies, and few enemies.

[snackthatsmilesback]

I mean yeah, power and the confidence to use it is super hot. But I don't wanna feel like I'm actually* in danger when I'm with her.

[Toldol2]

No !

[TomGarand]

Why's that?
