Should "Sucker punches" REALLY be againist the "man-code"?
« on: December 08, 2010, 12:19:23 PM »
Fact of the matter is this- in a "street fight" there are no rules (so to say) and I don't get how men get in a tizzy when someone throws a "sucker punch"

in my eyes, it is better to get the jump on someone and catch them totally off guard rather than end up in a hospital.  If you can land a punch, knock out a dude and avoid humiliation then better off for you, no?


Btw, I'm not trying to posture myself as some sort of "internet tough guy" who "gets in a bar fight every other week".  I'M NOT- I haven't been a legit fight since I was in high school.
However, I keep on hearing about how sucker punches are against the "man code/bro code".  That just sounds dumb

Ultimately, getting your ass beat or looking like a punk is against this supposed "man code" more that catching a guy off guard with a shot to the face

Street fights are about winning not about rules

I agree.  when things have progressed to a point, just take your best shot.

now i don't agree with just running up and punching a guy to take his wallet and cellphone.... 8)

I completely agree.  Street fighting is no joke and if you should do whatever you can to get the upper hand.

You obviously don't know what a sucker punch is.  

Scenario:  You're in a bar with a girl you've been hanging out with and a few buddies.  At some point that evening, some guy that you don't know tells the girl you came with that she looks pretty hot.  You see it happen, but you can't tell whether he knew she was with you or not.  Doesn't matter.  You're pissed.  Oh, and one of your boys saw it happen, too.  So now you're acting all butt-hurt and decide to have another drink.

An hour-and-a-half later, you're more upset than you were when it happened.  And one of your boys is giving you shit about it.  The girl you're trying to date tells you to just forget it and even rubs your thigh, but you're not interested in getting laid - you wanna prove to your boys you're not a chump...even though they didn't tell you to.  You then go over to that guy (at least you think it's him) who is also with a few buddies, tap him on the shoulder and say 'Wassup?' like a typical wigger looking for trouble.  He looks at you like you're crazy - as well he should - and asks what he can do for you.  You then confront him about talking to 'your girl' and not wanting to escalate the situation, he says 'Hey, I didn't know she was with anybody, my bad' and then turns back to continue drinking with his friends.  

It's more than you can stand, so you take a shot at the guy while he's not even looking.  That's a sucker punch and it's a bitch move, period.  

Absolutely against the man code, but totally acceptable if you're a bitch.

Getting sucker punched is bullshit. I was trying to calm someone down who was having words with a buddy of mine. We were both wasted and I finally said the hell with it when I turned to walk away he blasted me on the chin knocked me down. I learned a good lesson that day. I was pretty pissed off about it for a good long time.

i don't agree at all with punching a guy when he posses no physical threat.

HOWEVER, if you know a fight is gonna break out in a matter of seconds and have the open opportunity to get the first strike in THEN you should

I don't know if that is a "sucker punch" or just getting the first strike in so I apologize for the error in semantics on my part.   Where I was raised a sucker punch is a when you hit a guy when he doesn't expect it

What are you, 12?  Who goes around and gets into street fights?  ???

And to answer your question, no.  No codes.  Whoop his ass anyway you can!  I don't fight often but when I do, I fight to win... and I believe in getting revenge! 8)

I agree with hitting first as hard as you can before they have any chance if you are about to fight.

did you read my post first
I stated that i haven't been in a real fight since high school

I agree with hitting first as hard as you can before they have any chance if you are about to fight.

this because that is really self defense if you think about it

but again, the scenario has to be that you know that a fight WILL break out in a matter of seconds

LOL!! 

I'm definitely the guy who made the pass at the girl...knowing full well that the douchebag in the Tapout shirt thought she was his girlfriend. 

The only difference of course, is that he recognized immediately that I was a GetBigger and he walked meekly back to his corner without even thinking about taking a swing.   ;D

Right, if a fight is imminent - as in, you have to fight or else you're getting your ass kicked - you absolutely want to strike first, hard, and fast.

Back in the 'hood, during the pre-fight chest-puffing and posturing phase, the two sides would challenge one another to 'pass the first lick'.  If I *wanted* to fight someone, I never had to be told that.   :D

If there is a strong possibility of a fight breaking out then get in the first blow and be the dirtiest girl in the world. 

If I end up fighting in work I will do anything to ensure I win and don't get hurt - there's some people out there who, especially when pissed, behave like animals so I do what I have to.  Also I don;t really have a conscience so it doesn't bother me afterwards.

But chining someone on the sly when there is no imminent confrontation is homo-ish.

I love how "men" in the hood have to get all "postured up" in order to get to the actual fighting.

Picture two grown men walking up to each other, getting so close to one another that the slightest move would have them both making out and then continuing with this gesturing until one of them throws the punch.

Look at the :20 second mark folks:


Nothing gay about that folks, nothing at all...
