Are men afraid to fight these days?

[Parker]

I hear a lot of good things in this thread.    Men are fading away to nothing.  Afraid to take a punch.  Hiding behind the law or a gun because they are too weak to throw hands

The law is there for a reason. There are some people who have jobs in which they have clearances or a no tolerance---you get into a senseless fight, and you are gone...
If you have to defend yourself, okay. Just beefing is stupid and immature...pick and choose your damn fights---or you could have been the one shot...
Not saying you were wrong or right...but when you're sitting in the county jail, for some dumb shit. It makes sense...

Why is everyone afraid to fight these days.   Had a dispute with some idiot over who's turn it was to use the fuel pump,,, next thing you know hes telling me hes gonna kill me the next time he sees me.   So I said whats wrong with now pussy.  He says no I'm gonna shoot your ass.   I then replied ..   SO your a fucking pussy who is scared to lose your you wanna hide behind a pistol.      Fucking assclown sped off before I could get his plate.    Why cant men just be men and throw down like the good old days.     Why is everyone afraid to take a punch

finally a smart comment. OP is just an immature pussy with no father looking to release his frustration. I wonder what this wimp would look like if everyone had the right to punch each others in the face just for fun = anarchy. He wouldnt even be alive.

How is a thread about being a "real man" started by a person who enjoys warm meat in his rectum?

Simply because boys are no longer taught to fight. They're taught to cry to the teacher, principle, parents and even the police. I read on the Drudge report last week that a 12 year old kid was arrested for "making terrorist threats" to another kid. The boy was actually cuffed and booked. His threat was something along the lines of "I'm going to kick your ass." Something that every boy from generation has heard countless times.
Being taught to fight: Whether with fists, weapons or even words; having a fighting spirit; standing up when you see something wrong being done and being able to back it up; just battling the daily obstacles in life; is something that is no longer encouraged and even discourage in our culture today. We're just raising a generation of pussies.
The feminization of men is part of the inevitable downfall of our once great society.

Well said.....America is raising a generation of hyper-sensitive twinks and spoiled princesses.

biology modifies psychology, psychology modifies biology. One thing is sure, something is going on, and it's deeper than we think, and cannot be reversed. Whites disapearing -not wanting to reproduce- and being outnumbered, replaced by the third world thanks to globalization, chinese keeping manly and family values while acquiring everything the white man produced and pushing it even further , breeding like ants...

you get the picture.

We wont be here to see the results of the process we can only "sense" right now anyways.

Actually, their is a big culture in China of being matrilineal---and the men do what mom says or wants. Meaning the men have a certain "pissed off at mom" vibe

Life is a daily battle. Whether it's getting through traffic, dealing with morons and rude people, doing your job well, going to the gym, standing up to the bully, standing up for what you know is right -- hell, even just getting out of bed in the morning and facing the day can be battle. When looked at with that perspective being a fighter, i.e., having a fighting spirit, elevates a person, makes him a better man. Being a fighter is, to quote Renzo Gracie, "The best thing a man can have in his soul."

Of all the Gracies, Renzo Gracie to me exemplifies most the warrior spirit. Not because he is the best figthter, he's not. He's not even the best Gracie. But he has the heart of a lion This is a 60 minutes segment done on MMA. If you scroll to the end at around 7:01 you will hear him explain briefly what a fighter is. If you want to know what heart and courage is scroll to 4:50 as Renzo describes his lost to Sakuraba. Renzo grew up in Brasil not exactly a pussy culture. In fact, some describe it as a macho culture. Whatever. But it is not a place where a boy grows up and encouraged to be a cry baby or act like a girl. And, yes, you are encourage to learn how to defend yourself and have a fighting spirit.

That must be why you decided to settle with your family on the mean streets of South Barrington instead of 78th & Cottage Grove, because you want to get in fights all the time.

This is exactly the hyper-sensitivity I'm talking about - patently butthurt with a martyr complex that just doesn't suit you. You should spend more time working on "you" and less time worrying about "me". Don't feel bad because life has cheated you.  I'm sure there is a Jiffy Lube out there that will fulfill your life's work.

I'm also not sure about your non-sequiter from "Generation Entitlement" to fistfighting, but I enjoy fisticuffs as much as the next guy, regardless of where I live. So next time you're out at the Old Orchard Shopping Center kicking ass and taking names, let me know and I will stop by and spectate.

No hard feelings.....it will be swell......

My dad told me when I was a kid that it takes a real man to walk away from a fight. Fighting is for boys, not men.

Good thing the fight ended with just words before someone either got shot or arrested. The lines at the pumps are aggravating though, aren't they? Some asswipe cut in front of me the other day getting in line at the pumps at Costco. I found a different line and was at the pump, filled up and was gone before he was. Karma.

Slow down my sexy friend, some of you are taking this way too seriously.

Understand this and truly think about it for a moment...

It takes a real man to wake up every day and willingly go to work, make a solid day's pay, to then go home and support his family and loved ones.

Any fool can decide to just throw his life away by committing a criminal act (shooting someone, fighting with someone in the streets or anything else you can do to break the law) that will then cause him to cheaply fall short to his true responsibilities in life, be it his wife/husband, children, family and/or friends.

Backing away from a fight is never a cowardly move or a homo's option.  Let me make this clear to all of you clowns that pretend to be tough guys behind your shiny, new, Sony keyboards.  Take me for instance, I am a proud homosexual.  I served this country for 5 years in the Marines, shot enough "enemies" to blanket myself with their blood at night, practiced jujitsu and boxing now for over 10 years and probably outweigh/outsize most guys I see on a day-to-day basis easily.  

While I know that I can probably beat the living shit out of most guys that cross me the wrong way every now and then, I know that if I cross that line and break someones face, EVERYTHING that I have worked hard for in life WILL MOST LIKELY go to waste.

First, if you get locked up, you've just sent whomever you love and provide for a big "FUCK YOU" message.  You're practically saying to them that while they meant everything to you in life, your pride and ego meant more in that moment of rage and that a little jail/prison time is all you needed to make that clearer to them.  Consequently, a criminal record is a very bad thing to have in the USA.  I don't know about the rest of you guys, but if you have a solid career (Not just a job) and you decide to pick up a brand-spanking new criminal record, it will become very hard to keep a profession.  Sure, if you want to work construction or even become a locksmith or a building's superintendent, it will work out just fine, but if you want a career that pays very high and relies heavily on your reputation, it WILL become difficult.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am all for beating the living shit out of a loud mouth, but under the proper settings.  What do I mean by that?  Simple.

I go to a jujitsu & boxing gym every week at least 3-4 times for a few hours at a time.  They have various rings at the gyms that I go to and I am pretty cool with the owners.  On occasion, I have offered these so-called tough guys to come over to my gym (or I can go to their gym) to have a 5-10 minute "sparring" session.  During this session, there can be a referee or timekeeper or it can just be us going at it for 5-10 minutes in a ring.  The point is, that after we beat the living shit out of each other (regardless of who wins), we can both walk away with our lives intact without a fucking record attached to it or the risk of having to be arrested over something insubstantial.  One thing is for certain though, it is a very pleasurable thing to know that you can go at it and even break someones nose/face and then walk away knowing that they can just go to the local hospital and say, "It happened at my boxing gym" versus it happening at a gas station where a voiceless camera will have you both convicted as criminals.  

Life is more precious than your fucking pride or ego.  Plus, you never know, there are men out there that are just waiting for a "tough" guy to cross them so they can truly shoot them in the head.  Don't be that "tough" guy with a bullet that has your name on it.

Absolutely.  

If you are ever in the New York area, I train at Renzo Gracie's gym.  I used to go heavily between 2003-2008, but I still go at least 3-4 times a month to take advance classes and get my ass whooped by the pros.

I also go to a boxing gym in Brooklyn that's owned by a former trainer to professional boxers.

we re animals, nothing more, nothing less. Our more developped brains serve the same purpose as the less developped brains of inferior species populating earth. We re just at the top of the food chain. Our sole purpose -which is not a choice- is to learn how to stay alive, in order to reproduce, spread our genes, and then stay alive to raise our own kids (our genes) to increase their chances of survival. Only grown up men -and women- raised by BOTH a father and mother reach that understanding of existence. If you do not see existence that way it means you re immature, because parts of your psychological development have been alterated by psychological or biological attacks. The path, and direction, the steps, are the same for everyone.

Have you ever trained with John Danaher? I've heard he's is a wizard on the mat and a BJJ genius.

You train boxing and BJJ 3-4 times a week. And I assume you are also in the gym hitting the weights. How do you schedule all this? What days do you do weight training and what days boxing/BJJ?

BTW, you are very much over stating the consequences of a street fight. It's one thing if you assault someone and quite another if a mutual brawl breaks out. I was in a couple of rows last year. One was more along the lines of a challenge match like you mentioned but still bare fist no rules. Another was a brawl in a parking lot following a traffic altercation. Nothing happened and nothing has ever happened in street brawls that I've gotten in during my life. There was one incident many years ago when cops were called and all that happened was that I had to show ID so the officer can get my information and that was it.

I also disagree, it is much harder and braver to face off with some stranger and go toe to toe then walk away. It may not be smarter but it is much scarier. Nobody feels fear walking or running away from a confrontation. Even if you are a big person and trained as you claim to be there still is an element of fear when you have to stand up to complete stranger and fight and possible put your life at risk.

Anybody, and I mean anybody, can walk away from a fight. Not everybody can stand their ground and actually fight.
