To the OP: Ever considered apologizing to his girlfriend instead? You did talk shit about her, after all. How would you react if he talked shit about your girlfriend? You don't have to like your enemies, but perhaps you can agree to live and let live?
You're welcome. However, please keep these words by someone wiser than me in mind: "Animosity does not eradicate animosity. Only be loving kindness is animosity dissolved." Fighting is, at best, a short-term solution. It ultimately solves nothing in the long run. Peace.
why don't you choose love instead of fight?? try to say " I love you" to him . LOVE is the thing that makes a man, and also a women
I know the post you're referring to, but I read it differently. To me, it sounded like: "Fight as hard as you can, with knees, elbows and the rest. You may lose, but the affair will end once and for all. If, on the other hand, you give the impression that you're out to kill or maim the guy, his friends may jump in and seriously hurt you. And if, God forbid, you actually do kill or maim the guy, you could end up facing criminal charges." To me, that sounds both prudent and brave. Me? I'd totally puss out. To the guy who started this thread: I have no useful advice. Best of luck, though.
Liam - fighting never accomplishes anything. If you have apologized to her, that should be it. If the guy still goes after you, he is a bully, and schools don't like bullys.
Bust out training Rocky style. And ya, if you wanna win, go for the ballshot. Punch, kick, bite, elbow, slap, knee, whatever. And make sure you know where your fighting so you can make some strats. Keep the higher ground and dont always work on base d! Go on the offensive. And work on your Kamehameha wave, that may prove useful. Bring lots of water, as you may like to take a drink. And hold aa roll of nickles in your fist. You should win, no problem, jis keep watching your health bar, and make good use of combos.
So people can't contribute to society unless they have released a little adrenaline and recieved/delivered blows at one point in time? Now that I type it it all makes sense. You have a good point.
I don't think you can look at the classically masculine traits of a person and tell me they don't involve fighting in any way. "athletic, strong, brave stoic, don't cry; aggressive,"
Woa. Are you guys serious? You dont have to fight to be a man. This is just like all those people who ask others if they are hippies. Be what you wanna be. Those words are traits of masculinity because society made them so. A man is basically just the mature form of a male human being. Emotionally/spiritually being a man is different. Sure, facing some hardships will help you mature. But physically getting into a fight is in no way necessary to make the transformation. Not getting into this fight would actually be harder. He would have to put up with ridicule and humiliation by his peers. Fighting doesnt mean shit.
It was semi-facetious, because on one level I was bugging you, but on the other hand I find your views emasculating.
