Girls, for you , you think it's important for a man to know how to fight?

It is — which includes knowing how NOT to fight. What I mean is… for example… my friend J for instance looks like he can kick a guy’s ass up and down a city block. He looks a guy in the eye when they meet so it’s clear without saying a word that the other guy is expected to behave, etc. There’s a sense that J is barely restraining himself from clocking someone, even if he smiles and seems to be standing down… This “potential” of knowing how to fight and being super fit prevents others from starting a fight with him.
I have heard different from a penologist, apparently having people looking fit enough to fight provokes the yard apes to actually fight. 🤷♂️
@staximus Yeah. He’s very scrappy.
@DryGermanGuy There’s something to that theory, and sometimes his greetings are met with a touch of fear, an equal aggression, or simply a brotherly slap on the back if it’s someone who knows him already. It seems to be a silent sort of “don’t mess with me” signal he puts out.
I try think there’s only virtue in choosing peaceful solutions to problems when you do have ability yo inflict all the harm it would need otherwise
If a guy who can’t fight says he doesn’t believe in violence he’s not speaking on principle he’s speaking out of a personal worry about his self preservation
And in real life this translates to having to deal with certain hardships like not going out late at night in a big city
Not being able to take your phone out of your pocket in public transport
Trivial things like that
Someone who can’t fight has no limitations
And if he’s somewhat smart he’ll avoid fighting at all costs just make sure the potential mugger knows what the outcome could look like if he tried
Some girls’ love the feeling of being safe and protected by her man , and are turned on by a man that can fight , especially from my personal experiences with girls’ that felt safe being with me , I am more a lover than a fighter , but I will fight if someone crosses the line. I use to work in the security field for a lot of years as well as being a bouncer , I would get hit on a lot by girls’ when I was bouncing at clubs for extra money.
I would rather nobody ever fight, but yes in case it is ever necessary, he should be able to protect himself and me because I am not going to be doing any fighting.
Aha, the ol' "knight in shining armor" scenario! 🤺 While some gals might like the idea of their partner being able to protect them physically, it's usually way more important for him to communicate, understand, and support emotionally. Being a good fighter in emotional battles and resolving conflicts peacefully is the real MVP trait. Relationships rarely need a boxing match, but those verbal ones? They're the real deal! 🥊 Much love! ❤️

would be more important to know how to defend and protect yourself, and others
another very important thing to know and understand about fighting is... that you can actually kill people "with just one punch" and it can ruin your entire life...
This, lol, it just needs a bad fall for a brawl to degenerate from the (supposedly) happy bar fight into a life stuck with orange fashion
@Maybe_Maybe_not fighting it's just a bigger tragedy waiting to happen...
Not at all. The men who can protect their women/themselves are smart to take on martial arts for self defense… however…even smarter to use his brain to win over his opponent.
I try to imagine "outwitting" a mugger. Any suggestions?
@strateguy632 take on martial arts. They will teach you how to handle different situations.
No. Because men who know how to fight always go looking for trouble to prove it and sooner or later pick a fight with someone who puts then in hospital.
That's not true I know how to fight and I never look for trouble
@purplepoppy,
Some guys are like that. They terminally stupid ones. I don't go looking for trouble. I just want to be left alone most of the time. Here's my thinking.
1.) Yes, no matter how badass you think you are there is always someone better or luckier.
2.) I don't know that place, that guy, or his friends.
3.) A trip to the hospital can be very expensive.
4.) A trip to court can also be very expensive.
5.) A trip to jail can be a very tough life lesson.
6.) Interactions in civilian society are not the same as interactions on a battlefield.
7.) My background will be used against me in court.
At the end of the day, is it really worth proving a point to some drunken moron you're never gonna see again?
Lol 😆
@purplepoppy Very true, BUT you will always get someone that will ARGUE the point with you. "Men" who 'Know how to fight" will ALWAYS see a reason to throw a punch when there is no need, just to prove their "macho' self image... and as you say be put in hospital or a GRAVE.
@Bricealan ,
Spoken like someone who has never been in a fight.
If you are gonna fight, you’d best be comfortable with pain.
But consider deescalation techniques first. Unless the other guy is a complete moron he probably doesn’t want to get busted up either.
I grew up in the hood I've had lots of fights to the point the skin on my knuckles is thicker almost leathery. But at some point you have to grow up and now I don't fight unless I absolutely have to. Plus I'm 6'5 272 pounds people don't want to fight big guys they want to shoot us. I won't put myself in that type of situation cause the outcome may or may not be good
I think a man and even a woman should know self-defense when necessary. It will be helpful not just for yourself, but also for others who may need help someday.
Mine is avoid, or call a cop "the easiest self defence is knowing how to dial for a cop" lol 😆
Thankfully my sheltered life 🧬 is uneventful
@SeriouslyNotSerious seriously my life is showered in being sheltered and bliss 😇
I'm a stray cat idiot from one block outside of Philly Pennsylvania. I been in close to 50 street fights and I won all of them. Got the living shit kicked out of me too. I married the first woman that tasted my blood after kissing me after a fight and said "you're fighting days are over. We are moving to Texas and we will shoot anyone that attacks us"
It’s always important to know how to fight no matter the gender are.
Not only how to fight but how to win a fight
Is a guy a real man if he can't defend you or himself? I don't think so. A real man should be going into a fight to defend his loved one even if he already knows upfront he isn't going to win. At least he should give it all he got in my opinion
I think men should know how to and be capable of defending themselves.
Better to know how and be capable of it and never need to. Then to not know how and find yourself in a situation were you wish you did.
I think it helps should it become necessary to use. I also believe in these type of situations when adrenaline get activated in a person they become able to do things they never thought imaginable
Yeah I think its good. Obviously I don't want to be with a hot head who goes looking for fights but its attractive to have a guy confident enough to not let people treat him like shit.
it's important for a man to know how to de-escelate
but yeah i want him on a basic level be able to defend himself. he doesn't need to be a pro lol
No I most certainly don't... They're the first to go looking for a fight or even provoking one.
Some girls really seem to get off men fighting. Girls from poorer economic stratas in particular; they are more primal.
Absolutely. Pro fighter or naah.
It's important to know how to defend himself and me more than knowing how to attack but knowing how to attack is attractive.
I can fight but I sure as hell will NOT do it over a woman. All those tough independent women can take care of themselves.
No, I could care less. Mature men usually don't get to the first fight stage.
I think all y'all women out there that say men shouldn't know how to fight are lying cuz the first thing y'all always say is when I'm with my man I want to feel safe. How can he defend you if he can't defend himself
Unless talking about those living in places where fights are a sort of constant threat, then safety is a perception, not a reality. As such it doesn't come from knowing how to fight, it comes from knowing how to maneuver in hazardous situations.
The immense majority of people have nothing clue how to fight, just throw unbalanced punches hoping to hit something and get smacked in the face by crazy unbalanced punches as they go.
* no
Not for this man 😭 if she doesn't want me then she can walk from me 😞 from me
To fight? No. To defend himself? Yes.
Basic posture and stance when being threatened is both important for yourself and makes your parter feel safe. Don't be a coward but don't break someone's nose for a laugh.
One thing I have always done it's always finding a peaceful way solve a fight because I don't believe fighting like an animal can solve anything
And yh I have basic knowledge of kungfu due to my friend teaching me oh he so good but I stopped because kungfu is more than you think so martial art is something only people deeply involved know
Unless your man is aspiring to an MMA career, I do not see how that could be important
Yea as long as they won’t fight women lol
Subjective to a woman.
It’s a useful skill but not vital
I hope not because I can’t fight.
Not a girl, but yes. I think so
Very important like in nature shows.
Like on the Discovery Channel.
Nope
why would it be?
