Physical Strength

They're carried 'concealed' for a reason.
They should be reserved for situations where
there's no way to avoid a conflict involving bodily injury.

Self defense is serious business...... as I've learned.

 

Yeah maybe but i still rather get knocked around a bit then shoot or stab some one and i honestly wouldnt feel comfortable carrying around weapons, especially a gun.

 

Now i dont know what to think

 

Oh no i have a device for that, they call it television... I switch on and thinking no longer becomes an issue

 

Maybe you should be asking about this on the Women's forums?

 

Oh come on, Surely you can come up with an original idea? someones already pointed out how poorly that came out...

 

Being strong and knowing martial arts wont save you from a gun, unless they stand close to you and point the gun at you and you take it away before they pull the trigger. If you want to be good at fighting take wushu or jujitsu.

Its better to run from a fight and be called a coward or variations of coward than to get the shit kicked out of you for everyone's enjoyment (but yours of course).

 

Obviously I stopped reading after I saw this hilarity.

 

Only being superman or Jet Li will save you from a gun.

Jujitsu is very effective, but Wushu is just a term for almost all chinese martial arts.

There are plenty of Chinese martial arts which would be about as usefull in a fist fight as a salmon at a gun fight.

Like white crane?

Don't get me wrong on Wushu though, most styles of modern sport wushu are pretty rockin, sanshou is one of the best martial arts out there. Sanshou and Juijitsu is a solid foundation for a MMA fighter.

 

If you're so worried about going missing the only thing thats going to help is a german shepard and an AK47. I never said I thought you wanted to be a streetfighter, I just know plently of guys like me who live great lives who go years without even thinking of fighting, so obviously if you care so much you have a problem. Sorry to be harsh.

Anyway...I went to Norwood Morialta Pretty similar schools i'd say

 

Nah i aint worried about going missing i dont piss people off that bad.

I dont mind you "being harsh" but i think you assume to much suggesting that i have a "problem" i think my concerns are reasonable and you also have to understand this isnt something i think about 24/7 just it is all i talk about in this particular thread, want to guess why?

 

The way a man treats me, the way he treats others, the way he acts around children and animals, his sense of humor and how intelligent he is is MUCH more important.

My dh is a big dude. Couples psychology tells us big dudes like small, petite womyn, so they can feel and even act "protective." (when we got together I was 100 lbs lighter then my dh, and I am 14 inches shorter.) But, it wasn't his size (of his body.... that attracted me to him.

Intelligence, humor, paying attention to me, the type of freind he has all are more important than big bodies. I am not going to say a nicely built man doesn't catch my eye, but it doesn't keep a relationship together.

 

I'm sorry, I have been lacking empathy lately, but all that is going through my mind right now is that the concerns you have outlined in this thread are NOTHING to be worried about. Thats what i'm trying to say and this is my final word:

1. Fighting is useless and should be avoided at all costs
2. Lots of girls in Adelaide like skinny guys
3. Do what YOU feel like.

 

Its not the size of the man in the fight its the size of the fight in the man.


Ghandi was short and skinny but it didn't make him any less of a man.

Manliness exists between your ears not in your biceps.

 

some of the bulkiest people i know are also the worst fighters i know. i would learn some kind of martial arts if i were worried about it.

 

This is probably my favourite reply from you it seems alot less condesending(sp?) and alot more honest. Im not very concerned about this sort of thing all though it was going through my head at the time i started this thread and it is still a semi interesting topic.

i agree with point 1 i was never worried about point 2 and point 3 is a must in alot of circumstances. so yeah i do agree.

 

I probably shouldn't intrude on someone's personal issues or ideas so harshly. Really i feel bad....as an intelligent person you should be able to figue this out. Usually where there is a will to find an answer, the answer will come

 

working out wont help if theres 3 of them and one hits you with a cheap shot unprovoked. i was gone, no way im going to win against 3 black guys after being hit, nor was i risking getting anything jacked by another black guy. the jankiness never ceases to amaze me. work out. get buff. but carry a knife with you and dont talk to strangers.

 

Getting the shit knocked out of you is usually less bad than it seems.

 

worst advice ever... Never carry a knife...

If a guy came towards me, I'd knock him down... if he had a knife I'd break both his arms...

Martial arts is the way to go, I'd recommend kyokushin karate... it's full contact without protective paddings...
