Yeah i know, barely hurts.

 

Yeah as i've stated i wouldnt ever want to carry a knife because it means ill be more likely to have to use it.

 

Imagine that the guy just threatened your family, that usually works for me. Crazy is the way to go.

 

I'm a pretty big guy, so I find that I don't really need to physically defend myself so much. I don't usually run around with people who start fights, etc.

 

There's tons of things you can carry beside a knife that aren't lethal either. You'd feel horrible if you killed someone over something menial. Pepper spray is a good option.

 

Thank the moon and stars I live in a place where I dont have to worry about carrying anything.

 

I've been jumped in Canada. These things happen.

 

Just remember.... You can defend yourself more efficiently with a gun than body building. And also, genetics come heavilly into play. If you are geneticly skinny then your going to have to make weight lifting a part time job to keep on the pounds. And chickies perfer guys who are there as opposed to a guy who looks good but is never around... Right ladies? Just remember dude, in a situation where you are defending yourself or loved ones, honor goes out the window. As Abby Hoffman said, "There are no winners in a fight, just the person who walks away and the one who'se dead on the ground." If you get into some shit, grab anything that would make an efficient weapon. I once beat the shit out of some kid after school with my history text book. The spine can do some damage if you get some power and speed behind it =P

 

the biggest weapon of all is the brain. Use it, can cause alot of damage.

 

I've never really worried about being big, or strong enough. I'm 6' 3", 255, but there will always be guys that are mental midgets, and will fite at the drop of a hat. There have been several times that I had to hurt someone who refused to realize his shortcommings physically. Some say that violence in not the answer, but there are some guys that only understand getting he ass stomped. When that happens, do it.

 

Knowing how to fight is by far more advantagous than being greatly strong. I'm a thin built guy myself, but I have no problem fighting people bigger than me. I find that the average person doesn't know how to throw a solid punch, and they generally aren't that great at defense either.

Somebody stated that being able to take a hit and not topple over is more important than being strong. Even more so I feel being able to avoid a sudden strike, expected or not, is equally as important than being able to take the punch. Making somebody miss a punch throws them off balance, especially if they're throwing haymakers(which most people do). Countering well is the best way to win a fight in my opinion.

Also, as another member stated, crazy beats big almost every time. A lot of people I've fought were not prepared to fight. They were prepared to act like they wanted to do so, but really they wanted to talk shit and look badass. Especially bigger guys because they don't expect the smaller guy to strike them. They think they instill fear. I will not talk shit to somebody about fighting. As soon as they exhibit the want to fight, I start throwing punches.

Overall, strength has it's advantage, but speed and mindset are much more important in my mind. I don't care how strong you are, you can't hurt me if you can't hit me.

 

Hippies are peaceful people. I don't know anything about any of this stuff. It's obscene.

 

just an fyi... i love a strong guy but honestly, seeing two guys fighting is very unattractive. it usually shows a mans loss of control and giving in to feelings he should be able to deal with instead of beat out like that. id much rather watch a guy use his head and mind to show hes tougher.

 

True strength and discipline is shown when people resolve conflicts with words, not brute. It is shallow to think strength as a superficial characteristic.

 

When I was your age, I was 6'2 and 195 lbs. (I looked skinny though) Guys messed with me all the time. So, I studied Ju-Jitsu (3 years) and lifted weights. I became confident and strong as an ox. People kinda' left me alone after that.
I really think it was the confidence that scared them the most.

 

I was extremely skinny, still kinda am. But find something you like with working out to build your strength, it will make it less tedious. I found rugby and that helps a shitload. But i never have gotten into a fight except on the playing field so i am kind of indifferent

 

Hey my theory is if you think you can't handle yourself work on it. But do it for yourself. I learned things about being slim. Big guys don't like it when you poke out their eyes, their nuts kicked in, their knees kicked backwards, or their throat punched. Fight dirty kick bite and spit.

 

Hey, I'm a pretty physically strong guy, and, although I don't work out for reasons of physical confrontation, it is a nice benefit of detering others from acting physically aggressive towards me.


I personally think that a guy (or girl) should be at least somewhat physically fit. If anything, to just be able to handle certian situations that life might throw at you or even general tasks that we may face in our regular lives. Not to mention for health reasons.

For me, I have broken up tremendously more fights than I have been in. That is kind of like my thing, I break up fights. I hate to see fights and do whatever I can to prevent people from getting hurt because of some stupid aggressive anger.
