    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".

    you really think most fights include a gun or knife or "technolgy" as you describe it? thats ridiculous.

    i dont think anyone here is saying the need to beat someone up to feel manly.

    whats being discussed is a scenario where you are alone and are confronted. in those very rare instances it will be a nice bonus to have muscle if you are forced to use it. you are going to wish you were more "manly" in a case like that especially if you have soomeone you care about with you.

    holy testosterone.....I have always been a brawler....in my veins.....I love to fight....you talkin to me?

    Nothing personal. Boxing is different from brawling, but we can fight UFC style.


    I grew up street fighting....no rules...fists, legs, bottles, baseball bats.....anything goes!

    Phoenix - Not sure what you are talking about? Fight to the death?

    I would step in the ring a spar you for sporting reasons. No one needs to die.

    no....just enough hurt to create fear and make your point...protect your turf...actually, these days, I'd prefer a game of chess....

    I always assume I can pretty much kick anyone's *kitten*, so it wasnt really a motivator.

    I once killed a man in Muncie, In just by looking at him.



    He was an old guy in this old age home, I looked at him and then he expired....freaky

    I once got a warning that the next one would be a technical after I farted (audible and stinky) n the middle of the lane right before an opponent shot a free throw...

    true story.

    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)

    Woman would marry the money and have affairs with the guys with the muscle.

    Nah. Maybe it's because I am from Canuckistan.
    Seriously, no but probably because I have never been a contact sport guy.
    My motivation for getting stronger tends to be so I don't throw my back out moving furniture.

    Feel free to kick my *kitten* for such a p**sy response.

    Great thread.

    A winning answer!

    They would choose brain over brawn, except for a one-night stand once in awhile.

    Notice the women aren't cheering this thread on?

    I bet they want to see hard bodied hotties, but this thread is serving up bravado and attitude instead.

    There is also something to be said for not looking like a victim. Predators will go for the easy prey and humans are no different. Women are taught this in self defense classes so it should not be a surprise that some men think this way.

    Do you mean bullys? Are you saying that bullys pick on those who are weak, and they say "I'll kick your *kitten*" to prey on the weak?

    I'd think women do this too...
    I'm assuming I'm not the only girl that sizes everyone up when she walks into a room...ok, or at least the gym...

    Hell yes it does.

    I admit to still contemplating whether or not I could kick someone's *kitten* upon first seeing them - usually only if the person looks tough. Looks can be deceiving, I've found out. Some of the best fighters I have met look like average joes.

    There's something in me that make me WANT to fight people who walk around carrying themselves like a bad *kitten*. I'm not saying this is a good thing, it's just an instinct.

    I agree that women do that, but don't you think that "I'll kick your *kitten*" is more of a threat?

    My take: someone just threatens you. What do you do in that case? Do you walk away, cower, or fight back. I am just saying that I would try to be diplomatic, but if it is a threat. I would choose to fight or play chess :)

    Absolutely. Bullies are very common even among adults.

    I was mostly talking about those of us that dont want to fight or need to kick anyone's *kitten* but dont want to be a victim either. So when the OP asked does that line of thinking motivate you in the gym the answer is still yes but for a slightly different reason.

    Some people like to test themselves against others and some just like to dominate weaker people. Either way I want to be the strongest person I can be should the need ever arise.

    pffft.....I have my own money, so I'd prefer the protection. And Erik can beat you all up anyway. :P

    I'd rather spend my life with the love of my daughter and my other half, than breathing through a tube because a fight went wrong.

    Statements of motivation. Some are as simple as the Boy Scouts with their Be Prepared motto, some are a bit more agressive like the "I can kick anyone's *kitten*" mantra. The one that always sticks in my head and makes me smile (because I've worked with several like him) goes a littel further with the "pre-game" preparation.

    I believe it was Major General Mattis from Iraq saying to his Marines--"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

    Or for the modest man--"I come in peace. I didn't bring artillery. But I'm pleading with you, with tears in my eyes; If you *kitten* with me, I'll kill you all."

    He would be a very interesting man to meet.

    Former Marine here, this is true but only as a last resort.

    hot thread is hot

    ::pulls up chair, grabs popcorn, waits for man-candy::

    Yes! I am attracted to intelligence but it was a deal maker that my boyfriend now husband was big muscular guy. We want protection! It is natural to desire muscular stud muffins. Survival of the fittest. Suddenly I can't wait for him to get home. ROFL!

    They are a great confidence builder and they look good. Function is worthless in 2012. The heaviest thing I pick up all day, outside of the gym, is my dry cleaning. Maybe on weekends I might move my couch. Maybe. And I can throw a girl around. Other than that, form over function :bigsmile:

    In my experience, men who are focused on size and compare their size to the size of others are usually either short or stupid, or most often both. Men of above average stature and intelligence typically focus on more important things.

    This is what I mean. I'm guessing this guy does not have a Napoleon Complex and isn't an moron. (No, I am not hitting on you.)

    Yes because you can control all variables, such as the guy you didn't see there, or the gang of mates that you didn't know about.

    Short and sweet, only dumb mofo's fight. Simples.

    I'm sure being able to kick the *kitten* of 90% of people would give you confidence in many other areas, hell, I'd like to be able to kick some more *kitten* mk_smiley1.gif

    In my experience, 100% of men who say the above suffer from feelings of inferiority and overblown self importance. I used to do it too. Every smaller, intelligent/nerdy/cerebral guy does it. Downplays his musculature and emphasizes his brain. Until it dawns on him that a man can have both, and more importantly, the desire of one man to be big has nothing to do with his IQ or stature.

    Note that comparing size and strength has absolutely nothing to do with fighting. I agree, only tools and morons fight.
