Should women defend their male partner if they are in a physical fight?

[ItzLaura]

[akihon]

Ok so suppose that a woman is better able to defend me than I am, well that begs the question really because, sciency bit, women rarely ever look to match down they most often match up or marry up while men most often marry down. So women most often want to be with a man who is taller and in their mind more attractive than they are and somewhat most importantly more successful or at least as successful as they are.
This explains why you never see female doctors married to garbage collectors.
Contentious bit now, most but not all women but certainly most women want to partner with a man who they consider to be a man, and like it or not women choose who they pair with not men. Most women want to be with a man who at least physically appears as though he's capable of protecting himself and certainly protecting her now here's the jist of a woman then has to fight a man to protect her boyfriend then in her eyes he's most likely not going to be much of a man and most likely she would not be with him for very long.
Most women are smart enough to see when a man can protect himself or her because they watch how men move so it's most likely that she wouldn't be with him in the first place if at all for very long.
As an asside to this in countries where women are often the bread winner the divorce rate increases amoung couples because the women tend to view their husband as less of a man. And they have stated that they feel resentment to their husband because of that and it increases where the descision for the man to become the house husband was down to the wife.

Well whatever you do dont grab his arms and try to hold him back when it goes down... And if he's getting his ass kicked make your shots count... dont go hammer fists on dudes back... it doesn't hurt... kick the guy in the face if your guy goes down with dude on top... or of you can get behind the other guy try your best to stick your finger in his eyes... i got into it once with a guy who I was 99.9% sure was gonna fuck me up bad and I stuck my thumb in his eye and it popped out... nothing takes the fight out of someone like when their eyeball is dangling half way down their facee

[Vesuvius87]

Unless she's a trained martial artist, is huge herself or fights with elements of surprises (a good shot from behind, an object, etc.), it's not really recommended.
If there was no other option and my boyfriend is getting beaten, then I'll try my best to diffuse the situation or get one good shot from behind. Otherwise, I'm creating a big commotion for others to help and calling the cops.

[Alice2398]

Honestly yes. I'm extremely protective of my loved ones and if I see them being hurt my natural instinct is to defend them. Its gotten me in trouble before. Nothing gets me more raved up for a fight than if I see someone hurting someone I love, I turn into a wild beast and attack, I can't help it at times I just have mother polar bear instincts.

[Pinay_ako]

Only if he needs it. I am sure he can handle it but I am here anytime for him to defend him

[WhiteSteve]

Oh man... LADIES: for the love of Pete, STAY OUT OF IT. I’ve seen so many dudes get dropped because the girlfriend got in the middle of the fight. GET OUT OF THE WAY. If we want to fight, we’re going to fight, and there’s nothing you’re going to do that’s going to improve the situation. Stay back, PLEASE keep the shrieking to a bare minimum, and just let the boys pound it out. If I’m unconscious and you see me get kicked in the head or get defenselessly punched more than two times, fine, you can try to push the guy away. But you’re not going to stop or dissuade me. Let me go, let me win or lose as it goes, help me up if I lose, call me an ambulance if I lose bad, help me run from the cops if I win. Period. That’s all I need from you in that scenario.

[englisc]

No. Women can't fight as well as men can. I've trained boxing, muay thai, MMA. I've trained with women. When I moved from boxing to muay thai I was obviously inexperienced with kicks, knees, grappling etc. So in sparring the guys there could beat me easily.

Despite being much more experienced than me, older, and being slightly bigger than me at the time too since I was very small, the women couldn't. I had to hold back, the strength difference was too large. And those women were good fighters vs a small inexperienced guy at the time, never mind the average woman who has never trained vs an average guy. The idea of women being just as capable of fighting as men is a feminist fantasy.

So no, I'd expect my girlfriend to get herself to safety even if I was fighting a losing battle.

[AlienParasite]

To question herself if she should first ask herself if she can. I'm pretty weak, I can't do anything in a physical confrontation but to bite the dust. However if is everything happens quickly and there's not time to think if I should of I can my instinct would be to attack that someone who is threatening my SO.

[dantetheexplorer]

Always carry a huge pan :)

[Nivinxus]

Up to them, it does show what they are like in a physically combative situation when I'm engaged in a fight.

Of course context matters. For example, if it was a spar with another guy or girl, then she shouldn't join. If I was being assaulted by a girl out of nowhere, then I'd appreciate if my partner tried to stop the assailant.

[Nivinxus]

Of course, in most cases if I were assaulted by a girl, she's likely to be either restrained or forced away. Either way, she should be cautious though, almost all my partners never done any form of martial arts.

[Jonny_]

I'd say only if he was losing badly, mainly because guys have a lot of pride and it would hurt them to be saved by their partner especially since others would probably judge him for it. I mean it's dumb, like if I was dating Ronda Rousey and somone was beating on me it would hardly be humiliating for her to kick the guys ass if you think about it.

[ChgzDaniel]

Only if her male partner looks like he needs it and my life won't be in danger. I have had this conversation with him before, and he said he would rather die or get badly hurt trying to save me rather than it happen to me.
It would strongly depend on the scenario. In the heat of the moment, I would probably run away and scream for help, get anyone I could find to help save him.

[Puppylover_129]

Id more likely try to stop the fight, than continue it. If I join in there's a more likely chance of it not even helping and even vetting jumped. If I was there through the whole thing, id have him just walk away, but if things escalated, id more likely push them apart.

[SngBirdy]

Unless your partner is getting seriously beaten up to the point he could get seriously injured... no.
I can also promise you no guy would ever want his girlfriend or wife to get inbetween. Personally i would rather get my ass beaten than risking getting my girlfriend involved.

[Angelo75]

Well very simple.
If they're beating her male partner up and she feels that he's in danger of his life, she can just reason 2 things:
1. They will kill him and kill her since she has seen the face of the killer.
2. They will kill him and do whatever the f*ck they want with her.
3. If he dies... well... he doesn't have a male partner anymore.

In all 3 cases she should at least throw a stilletto at the guy beating her male partner or spray some mace on the other guy. Or whatever the heck a woman would do when she's cornered and threatened to get raped... that kind of creativity... she can use it to at least slow-down the other guy from killing his male partner.
That is... if he truly loves him.

[Anonymous]

If needs be yes. Years ago men squared off and fought like for pride and honor but nowadays men &women don't care about that and will try and do actual bodily harm such as kicking a person to death or injuring.

[Christ09812]

Girl you are funny

[Opinion Owner]

@Christ09812 tell me, you don't personally care if you get your ass kicked but what happens to your woman when you've been kicked to death?

[Christ09812]

Kicked to death what movie are you watching. It's rear for someone to get killed in a fight. Plus i'm a martial artist i've been training mma for years and i love fighting. But yes street is street. She should yell and not be involved in a street fight. But if it's that bad ( which is hard most people are not trained) than yes. I'm saying you're funny since even we men find it hard doing this in street this is bullshit video. Unless you're ufc female fighter and that's not attractive at all.

[Opinion Owner]

@Christ09812 I've trained in judo since I was young, it has saved me a few times.
I've seen a lot of what goes on in the street, I saw a guy die after one punch. I work in nightclubs I've seen what goes on in the street after. The bouncers in the club I work in are mma guys, boxers, martial artists & ex soldiers, ex royal marines even they know to protect themselves.
One was killed last year, cage fighter, stabbed to death and found a week later in a rubbish bin. He had denied entry to a group of black teens who were high.
Another time gypsies came in and cut a bunch of these guys up with knives but thsts the reality of the streets. You fall down in the street and they keep kicking you until your in intensive care or the morgue. Maybe you will find out.
This short film may intrest you.
https://youtu.be/BAhEYOxoP_M

[Christ09812]

Girl i don't know what are you trying to say. I was born to do this, so i know so much thing in self defence and fighting. But what are you trying to say if you are trying to say that fights can kill than yeah but it's rear it's not the typical fight. Second so many things don't work in street. Judo is good i mean keep doing self defence but you as a girl still in danger you should carry a gun. You can't handle a fight that's pure honest? and what you are u saying about a cage fighter getting stabbed that just prove my point.
But i respect you so much for wanting to help your boyfriend but not being the dominant one thinking self defence always work since if somebody hit you on your chin it's so bad females chin are not that strong. But sounds like i'm talking to a strong women that's good

[Opinion Owner]

@Christ09812 you were born to do it In the ring maybe, there's always someone bigger and better or maybe too many for you to handle. The bouncer that killed was born to do it too & was actually a real good fighter but he still need up in the rubbish bin after his shift. It's not typical maybe where you live but at the very least it can end in intensive care. It's not like your mma bouts where the ref intercedes to stop a death or serious damage being done.
Judo is all I have. Guns are ilegal, tazers are ilegal, pepper spray is ilegal, knives are ilegal, batons, lethal& non lethal martial arts weapons, sports equipment is ilegal, workmen's tools are ilegal. There are loopholes like a friend of mine used a hockey stick to beat a mugger pretty badly but her solicitor when she got used by her attacker was able to argue that she had it because she was playing hockey not as a weapon.
Using martial arts to defend yourself can get you in trouble too, I defended myself against a girl who hit me on the back and on the top of my head with her stiletto, the bitch had the nerve to take me to court. Only for the cctv footage& the fact that the judge wasn't a cunt it got thrown out of court.
I have a guy who's pretty handy with his fists, he grew up boxing&kickboxing & now does the mma thing but if it's on the streets against a gang of guys he will need my help. Not that I'd be much help but the way things are now in the street just because you are a woman doesn't mean you won't get hit whether you fight are not. In a situation were your guy is jumped by a group of Pakistani men a girl could find herself in a bad situation if her man goes down.
Honestly women are often worse than the men here, if they are fighting other women they are instigating fights between their man and women they don't like men.

[Christ09812]

I not seeing that's not true but it's a better to know a thing than knowing nothing. Okay so be real with your self and hold a weopon. And this bouncer that died is just his destiny i don't have to think like this if i died i died it's god destiny. Yes you should do defend your self since you are a girl that may face rape or a bunch of bully girls. But you are talking to me like i'm denying what you're talking. I'm saying that in my oppinion if your boyfriend situation was so real so yes go on. You have a man attitude by the way i'm not trying to have a man ego but hold on keep that feminine side in check and when you're in a situation were you should be strong just be. but you should always have a weapon, yes and me too but i have a better chance for example there is no rape in my head. If a guy comes maybe i can handle him. But girls even with self defence are in danger. there is no self defence of knife attacks and guns it's all fake. physical strength or running no such a bullshit skills especially for girls. once a my neighbor get in fight with a man for purpose because of his car loud noise and she is sixth belt in taekwondo and he knocked her out and gone. That's what i'm talking about just fight for your life and carry weopon. that's the key.

[Christ09812]

I'm not saying not seeing**

[Opinion Owner]

Well that can happen no matter how good you are and when your a woman against a reasonably fit man at the end of the day your still a woman. All I can say is judo has served me well in keeping myself safe. Like I'm only 5ft and not very muscular but I've fended off guys, untrained mostly and really didn't know how to handle judo.

[Christ09812]

I can see the inspiration is to gain self confidence on your self not wrong. That's true. Judo is a good game but still a game not a fight.

[Opinion Owner]

@Christ09812 depends on the person using it I suppose. A lot of judo moves are banned in competition

[Christ09812]

Yes everything is depending on the person. I don't do judo anyway but sambo. It's rear that i find a girl that love martial arts like you and can carry a debate . Wish my girlfriend was like that😂. Whenever i talk to her what i do in gym she says whatever.

[Anonymous]

Yes. Social society has made us to believe that men are stronger and more powerful than women. In reality, this is not always true. If the girl in question is a strong, capable women, then she should always defend her partner. It’s dumb that society makes us think that men have to do all the fighting, and women are just there to look pretty

[ShoeGirl24]

Well I would because my boyfriend had surgery recently and someone attacking him could have a devastating outcome so I would totally step in & punch the shit out of someone who was attacking him. Or I’d get in the way and protect him.

[natrickk]

I'd hope anyone would defend any of their loved ones if they were being physically attacked and didn't have it under control.
What kind of coward do you have to be to just stand there and watch someone you supposedly care about get fucked up?

[princessfromjupiter]

Not if he started it or let himself be provoked over some minor bullshit (which is frankly why most bar fights break loose)?
If some dude just randomly attacked my partner I'd probably try to break it up yeah

[mrbobz]

I am confident my girlfriend could kick the shit out of any one... probably even me if it came down to it. I rather she was on my side in a fight

I like a girl who is happy to get down and dirty

[D_Bone_Steak]

If he's getting his ass beat... look, you can run and hopefully get away, or help your man. If he has that situation under control... you might just get in the way and that's not better.

[GreyEyedGuy12]

Such a fucking violent society...
Hell no, unless it's a life or death
situation like a armed robbery and she's carrying a firearm.

Outside of that, hell nah, don't
be getting in no skirmishes your
little boy got himself into.

[skeetskeetskeet]

What if you and your girl are walking down the street and some dude pulls his dick out and slaps her with it... Are you going to be a bitch and yell "help help call the cops" or are you going to man up and take a swing at dude? Pussy ass attitudes like that make sure you'll be a victim for life... Just remember, when seconds count the police are only minutes away

[GreyEyedGuy12]

Shoot yourself dumb ass... Read her question again.
It didn't say anything about
a guy fighting but a girl
jumping in to help her guy.

Man, stay off them vapes!

[skeetskeetskeet]

I was responding to you pussy

[GreyEyedGuy12]

No more attention for you young man, you're excused
to sit at the kiddy table...
Plenty Juicy Juice boxes
and Crayons for you.
😂🤣😂👉

[skeetskeetskeet]

Haha ok... go tell the teacher someone hurt your feelings while I stick my finger up your imaginary gf's poop chute

[Maria16]

no! my hubby told me if ever that happens i should save myself and runaway... he told men fight are meant for them... and he doesn’t want me to get hurt because of hin

[JosyJosy]

Nah you should stand by and watch how he gets beaten down to the ground, because that's what is supposed to be done in a relationship. You watch your Love be in PAIN. Mhm. Yep. Makes sense.

[KoshkaKitten]

If they can fight, yes. Personally I don’t need my girlfriend too as that’s why I learned karate but if she wants to fight and try to protect me I’m not gonna stop her unless the other persons got a weapon.

[luvstoned4him]

If he can handle himself.. NO but if he is gonna be ambushed or ganged up on then I would feel the need to do something or call for back up.

[Anonymous]

Speaking for myself, I would step in in no time! I'm not practicing self defense for nothing! But if the girl is so weak that a blow of wind can defeat her, then it would be more logical for her to stand there and call the cops.

[KamikazeWarrior]

The strongest should defend the other, why should the gender matter?

[ArcticHamsters]

I'd rather not. If another man touches my girlfriend in a situation like that, I could get more angry than the acceptable.

[Pink2000]

My man don’t need help. He can handle himself. He needs for me to defend him then there’s something wromg

[Christ09812]

No women should be involved in a physical fight maybe a verbal fight and call cops not physical. I will personally don't care if i get my ass kicked but if he touch my girlfriend i will seek for revenge no matter what. No MATTER WHATTT.

[ChiTown33]

Unless you're Rhonda Rousey how much help do you think you're going to be?

[2shredded]

Facts

[Vesuvius87]

Exactly. There are some delusional women out there that really think they can just fight someone built much stronger and help out their boyfriend.
Short-term, I might be able to get one good shot from behind and then run (take my boyfriend with me also) afterwards once he's down but it better be good enough to knock him down in the first place.
If it's real man-to-man, fair fight, I'm finished after the 2nd or 3rd punch. 1st one I can't take but that's about it.

[Vesuvius87]

''1st one I can take but that's about it''

[ChiTown33]

@Vesuvius87 In the good ol days all you would have to do is get in front of your boyfriend and the other guy would stop. Because if he's any kind of a man at all he wouldn't lay his hands on a woman. I wouldn't trust that at all nowadays. Best to just stay out of the way.

[Vesuvius87]

yeah. I'm going to get back to Krav Maga soon. I had to quit due to health issues.

I have no interest in competing nor would I be delusional thinking I can beat most men with those moves but to know how to defend myself if I truly found myself in unwanted situation such as getting grabbed from behind.

[ChiTown33]

@Vesuvius87 that's a great idea. Whether you win or not make the s. o. b. regret ever picking you as a target.

[CelestialNation]

Hell yea if he's losing. Ima grab a brick and do what i can!!! If my man going in, we both are!

[I_smell_Ducky]

Depends, sometimes it's better to just walk away and let him get his ass kicked.

[Christ09812]

Yes since you will get knocked out badly.

[I_smell_Ducky]

@Christ09812 aww, aren't you cute thinking you actually know a god damn thing about me?

[Christ09812]

No i'm telling facts. But what should i know. And thanks but why i'm cute?

[I_smell_Ducky]

@Christ09812 ... You are an idiot.

[Christ09812]

Shut up. I hope you get knocked out

[I_smell_Ducky]

@Christ09812 😂

[Christ09812]

Not kidding tho😂

be better to drag him off before it decends into violence

[WhoDatGuy]

Yeah right she is so weak.
I call her noodle arms.
She works out with 1kg dumbells. I'm using 17.5kg. Unless a mouse is attacking me she's no hood in that regard

[CT_CD]

No. They want the guy to be able to take care of himself. She will just watch and if he loses then it will turn her off and she will probably leave with the winner since he is the most alpha.

[Christ09812]

Men is this an indian movie or something. You remind of that dude in my neighborhood that used to say funny stories and we all knew he was a fantasy maker. We used to mock him about a story he said that one time he loved a girl so he beat her boyfriend to get her. And we all said yeahh 100% mann. Lool
Girl cares how attractive you are and if you're personality is good it's a bonus.

[wowgirl20q]

Only if he's being jumped or other females get involved. Otherwise it's insulting to your man

[Redstang88]

If she can and will actually be useful, than sure. But honestly most girls are more in the way than helpful in a fight

[yeeeeeeeet]

Nah I'm fine. I need the experience even if I'm losing.

[genericname85]

if they can? XD i mean i don't see why not other thn if they just can't.

[Iron_Man]

I had a fist fight with a guy and when him and I got separate in the crowed my girlfriend got involved and ripped his shirt off and swung at him

[Aynsof]

Generally no it just increases the chance that they too will get hurt
It is all variable of course there is no rule set in stone

[larry69]

No because she can get hurt. But she can cause a scene and get help.

[Longshot1965]

The last thing I would ever want is for anyone to risk the chance of getting hurt while defending me. Man or Woman.

[Anonymous]

Honestly I think this is a lose-lose situation for the man
The girl will for whatever reason get mad at the guy for fighting
Yet if he doesn’t fight him she will think he’s a pussy either conscious or subconsciously

[abc--123]

Only if she can fight. I know plenty of women who can handle themselves but equally know loads who would get their heads kicked in

[Locha037]

No, Not unless, it was a life death situation and both could potentially be at risk

[Whaaaaa]

I’m gonna do something. Not just gonna stand and watch that skinny bitch get an ass whopping lol.

[Lgmswolf024]

Yes, I'd want to try to help my partner to the best of my abilities

[LazyMan]

Not unless they are badly losing. It could cause a big blow to the mans pride.

[MarketData]

Of course they should. Unless the fight has been sanctioned by a respectable body, WWE for example.

[Anonymous]

Yes, of course, that's why I would date a girl who is a martial artist.

[AshleySamcro]

I would say yes, if they know they can do something.

[Anonymous]

That won't happen. Women always think their boyfriend can fight and then looks shocked if he gets beat.

[LeonDs]

No..
Its a change to check his ability to defence hiself.

[Anonymous]

This question reminds me of an episode of Fresh Prince

[Anonymous]

It would be nice if the guy was losing but most women aren't going to do anything about it.

[NineBreaker]

If they can, why not?

[Tyliah]

Hell yeah I'm beating ass and biting penises

[Kingfish3447]

What da look?

[Kingfish3447]

What da fook?

[wiseyoungman]

No, you'll just distract him and get him hurt

[CuChullan]

I know mine would without a second thought.

[dy8alexUk]

Only if she is fiscally able

[heena_sanchaita]

Ya sure if he needs it
