Well, most people would never know that I hate physical conflict due to my stereotyped size and look lol..

The saying "can't punch his way out of a cardboard box" would probably apply, but I would not want to hurt the box anyway.... I'm probably a 4-5


Rate 1= superman (fighting skilled, good at it, fit, not afraid to make your point and fight for it if necessary)

Up to 5= flower collector, ie, avoidant of fighting, aggression, don't see the point of it anyway, run a mile if you see trouble starting.

I hope that you can fit into the 5 ratings lol....

Feel free to detail your thoughts as I'm curious.

Fighting makes utterly NO sense to me. Ever. It's stupid, a waste of time, hurts, and doesn't accomplish anything.

And I'll punch anyone in the mouth that thinks otherwise! :lol:

I avoid confrontation, but if it comes my way, I'll meet it, no problem. If someone wants to cross the line and take off the gloves, I'll go there, and I'll admit it, get a little bit of pleasure out of it. I have a low tolerance for BS.

I interpret fighting to generally mean verbal, but I'll include physical as well - even though I think it's generally unnecessary unless you have to defend yourself against an attacker.

Physically, abysmal. I'm completely unfit.

I used to be a reasonable shot with a rifle, I daresay I could pick it up again if I needed to.

I'm an average fighter, but give me a crossbow, bow or gun and you better run. I'm deadly with those.

To be honest im pretty big and musclular so its probably maybe a 2 or inbetween 3-4, but i have come to accept logic in every aspect of my life so i try to think what would be most logical and then what would be most wise to do, and really fighting solves nothing unless im going to get pumbled, i wont fight.

I do not pursue it but I have found to be a natural at the more violent sports.

I LOVE a good physical fight. Even as a little kid I would start them just because I loved the thrill of the fight. I always won physical fights if someone didn't intervene because I would bite and aim for the privates. Sometimes I wish someone would attempt to attack or rape me just so I would have an excuse for a good physical fight. I used to want to be a cage fighter until I found out you could not bite, aim for the privates and could only fight same sex opponents. I love a good fight. I've always had a violent nature but being bullied as a child just brought it out even more and in case your wondering I am a chick.

I've been a fighter my whole life. I would get into fights with my bullies and get into trouble and no matter how many times teachers or staff punished me, I do them again. I've done it online too to people who have hurt me. I would do things just to piss them off or mess with them. I've also gotten into some internet dramas and liked saying things back to them.

Also as a toddler I'd hurt kids to express myself.

I've never been in a real fight, so I have absolutely no idea how competent I'd be. I'm reasonably fit, though, so I like to think I wouldn't be too much of a pushover. I like to think a cool head and quick mind might give me an edge, but I doubt real fights are as controlled as they are in my imagination.

Part of me has been tempted to learn some type of martial art at times, purely for the confidence boost that might come from knowing I could fed for myself if I had to. The rest of me is more likely to just try to avoid conflict at all costs.

I was bullied a lot as a kid & I even took up karate briefly in elementary school. I quit it shortly after I failed the test to get my 3rd stripe on my blue belt. I was under a lot of stress & high homework load from school & karate was NOT helping me with the bulling. I could do the moves very awkwardly in class when it was practice but that was slow & planned. I could not apply it in actual self-defense. When I kicked or threw punches; I could never put my force behind it. I could never break a board in class. I don't think I can bring myself to hurt anyone physically even if it's to save my life. I got in trouble so many time for being accused of hurting others even when I tried to block em/push em off me; I learned that I still get my butt whooped just as bad but I end up making things much worse for me by trying to defend myself. I selected choice "5- I prefer to collect flowers, I avoid aggression like the plague" here. I would run till they caught up with me & then I would crawl up in a ball while I got beat & then I'd get in trouble after. Only other thing I do is raise my voice & cuss & insult em but it's like that old saying that the smallest dog barks the loudest & bites the least...or something like that :?
I also jump at being touched unexpectedly(maybe do to the bullying like PTSD) & I got accused of being a bully & hurting others because they wer supposedly being friendly :x Some people also thought I was a potential serial killer/school shooter after the Columbine massacre :evil: People wer afraid I'll flip out cuz of the bullying & other things & my mom doesn't really trust me with knives & things either. Apparently all people who wer abused, play video-games, listen to offensive/bad music & spend their time inside online avoiding people & friendships are potentially extremely dangerous to society :twisted:

I will fight if I'm threatened but always try to avoid conflicts.

After being bullied for years, I started studying martial arts in High School.

I still practice but my last physical altercation was about 15 years ago.

Right now, I pose no threat to anyone. But I plan on enrolling in martial arts in a couple of weeks (Shaolin kung-fu) and I'm hopeful I'll be able to kick a lot of tail within the next several years. I won't start fights with anyone for the wrong reasons, but at least I'd be able to defend myself if anything were to come up. I'm mostly doing it to raise my self-confidence though.

I talk a big game but when it comes to actual blows I've lost the last few fights I've been in. Still, get me pissed off enough and I can kill with my bare hands.
