    Why does that statement bother/affect the male ego? I am not immune to the effects of one person's need to provoke/challenge another male. We always try to use diplomacy to defuse the situation, but when it fails, then there is a fight. Very sad, but this problem is not American or Western. You will see this behavior in all cultures and most of the animal kingdom.

    I'm pretty non-confrontational but since my work out of choice is boxing, I do tend to size people up in the gym lol.

    I'm a lover, not a fighter.

    But I'm also a fighter, so don't get any ideas.

    Yes it does, I used to be a martial artist and want to go back to it as some point but would like to get down to 210 or so first. Only in theory or in fun of course. I don't start fights... usually.

    This question makes me think of another:

    Given only one of the following, what would most women choose:
    1.) Money (i.e. brain)
    2.) Muscle (except for a very few pro-athletes, i.e. brawn)

    You forgot option #3.) A big wanger

    it does for me but not in the physical fight way most here are commenting on, for me it is about kicking your *kitten* anyway possible on the playing field, in the race, or anything else. i am very competitive and i want to be better than you at every thing and i think about then when training that i want to beat person x next time we run or be stonger than person y when i see him or be able to be the last dad playing with the kids while everyone else has stopped because they were tired, winded etc.

    Training to do good at sports is one thing, but the tough guys are just really insecure and most do roids, at least the ones I know. They also have gone nowhere in life. Again, these are just my observations.

    My background is martial arts but I never think that (well, not these days). I only do non-MA training (weights, CV work) to look good, nothing more; I'm not ashamed to admit that the reason I sweat in the gym is for overall aesthetic reasons. You don't need to be manly, big and strong to destroy someone (it might help, of course).

    I got no desire to measure myself against someone else. I measure myself against myself. I already know I can kick *kitten*.

    Not really, if that were the case I would just take karate.

    The size would just help 'look' intimidating. Like the guys who get muscle implants.... what's the point of that?

    most fights arent planned. most do not involve guns, knives etc...so all of that technology you mention means nothing in most cases. like you said talking your way out or avoiding it all together is best when you dont measure up.

    Sounds like a guy that again has control issues. :P And I'd love to see your cited authoritative source on "most fights".

    Not wanting to engage in fighting is not the same as not having the ability to "measure up". Some of us are naturally far more peaceful than others. Unlike many guys, I do not see the need to beat the crap out of anything to feel "manly".
