Ok, I saw my girlfriend walking with a guy named Eli, and he had his arm around her. Now, this Eli she had known for about a year, and when I was going to summer school with her, every morning when I got to school, I saw her and Eli sitting together talking. Well, I got mad at Eli and flipped him off and told him to go the f away. My girlfriend got mad at me and told me to not be so mean. Then after a while she wasn't so mad at me because she realized it was actually I who had the right to be mad. Well, I had to go back to school for and ROTC performance, not that that has anything to do with the story, and some people told me that Eli wanted to beat me up. Well, this was insulting because
a) i have 16" arms and he has 8" arms.
b) i weigh 140 lbs (nothin' but muscle) and he weighs about 100 lbs (nothing but nothin')
c) he is the one at fault here. she is MY girlfriend, not his, and I don't want ANYONE touching her
I told my girlfriend I was going to beat him up, but she said she didn't like that and that if I beat him up she would dump me (more or less). So now I'm faced with the dilemna, what should I do? Thankefully, I know that the BYONDERs like to take analytical approaches to everything, so prehaps you can give me some direction?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When will this be on Jerry Springer?

a) i have 16" arms and he has 8" arms. 16" arms mean nothing with you have a PVC pipe >=) Besides, you may have the strength... but he probably has the speed. b) i weigh 140 lbs (nothin' but muscle) and he weighs about 100 lbs (nothing but nothin') Again, I point to the weapons. I can take down someone twice my size with a weapon. Take a baseball bat and  ! Hit the bastard up side the head and he's down.c) he is the one at fault here. she is MY girlfriend, not his, and I don't want ANYONE touching herShe is not a posession of anyone. You should let her decide... not decide for her. If she wants to be with him... get over it and let it go. She probably wasn't even right for you anyways. Well, that's my opinion on things. -  (Ignore the "BAM" and "DRACON"... I was bored) | |
When they both are missing some teeth, have mullets and his girlfriend is his mom and the other guy his uncle.

How do you even know he has 8" arms, did you measure them? Anyways no one in thier right mind would say they'd beat up a huge buff guy if they were a skinny little shrimp. c) he is the one at fault here. she is MY girlfriend, not his, and I don't want ANYONE touching herIf what you say is true I'd say beat his ass. It's something you'd have to do and if you don't he'd think your a pussy. Your girlfriend would probably be mad but if she doesn't take you back then she'd probably dump you eventually anyways since she was cheating on you. I'd put this as a test. But don't beat him to a bloody pulp or anything, just sock him once and he'll fall. I wouldn't recommend letting this slide at all. I hope I helped. The rest of you might think I'm wrong for not begin "sensitive" or whatever but I don't believe in that. Anyways I wouldn't even really want to be with a girl who wouldn't let me act like a guy. Don't let your women control you guys, that's not the way it should be. If you let them control you I'm calling you a pussy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. This post is gonna get some attention ;) | |
Ok, I saw my girlfriend walking with a guy named Eli, and he had his arm around her. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but it seems to me that a loyal girlfriend would have told Eli something like "Get that arm off me unless you want to pull back a bloody stump!" Instead of getting mad at Eli, your proper reaction would have been to tell her "Welcome to Dumpsville. Population: you." Unless she was able to demonstrate that it was all a hilarious misunderstanding. | |
Wait, wait, wait. You have a girlfriend? My knowledge of the outside world is very limited, so this sort of stuff is beyond me. However, I think I can still help you.
When in doubt about girls, I always turn here for information. | |
Great advice, I actually totally agree. But really he walked up to her and put his arm around her, so it wasn't like she did it, but it still pissed me off. But your advice was great, I don't think that she should hand out with so many guys when I'm her boyfriend. So I'm going to tell her that and if she doesn't like it then we wont go out. Welcome to dumpsville, pupulation: you. that made me laugh for so long you don't even know. Thats really funny. I'm not jokeing, that was the best thing I've heard all year. I mean really man, that was good. But anyway, I just told her that I'm not gonna beat him up because he's just a small imaciated little boy and it wouldn't even be a fight. Oh, I didn't indend for my comment about our arm sizes to spark a controversy, but whatever. Actually, I haven't measured mine for like 2 years, but the last time I did they were 14" and that was before I started working out. But anyway, I just told her that she needs to deal with it and I never want to see anyone with her ever. I also told her that I never want her to talk to him either. So thanks for the advice and it looks like everything will be fine.

MudConnect is the shizzle my nizzle ( or whatever). Hey speaking of MUD's, do you happen to have a favorite? Personally mine is http://www.angband.com/towers. It's a pretty cool LOTR mud. I also like this one called dragon or dragon sword. I don't remember because I haven't played it in a while.

If they were just goofing around, it's a little different than walking around snuggling like lovebirds. Welcome to dumpsville, pupulation: you. that made me laugh for so long you don't even know. Me too, the first time I saw it on The Simpsons. :) But anyway, I just told her that she needs to deal with it and I never want to see anyone with her ever.

It's good for people to have a mutual understanding about what constitutes proper behavior in their relationships, but asking your girlfriend to avoid all communication with 50% of the human race might be a tad heavy-handed. If she just enjoys talking with this guy, and he was mainly clowning around or giving her a brief hug to say "hi" or something fairly innocuous like that, then there's no need to get steamed. There are basically two possibilities; one possibility is that she's loyal to you and won't let a guy do anything that might be considered the exclusive prerogative of a boyfriend. The other is, well, not that. If the former is the case, you have little need to worry; if the latter, there's not much you can do except get out and cut your losses. Most importantly, be sure you both agree on what you expect of each other. | |

Not allowing someone to relate to anyone of the opposite sex and beating the crap out of anyone who says "Hello" to her has a long history of leading to healthy, mutually-constuctive relationships based on love and trust! Or based on suffocating paranoia and distrust. It's one of those. | |

I ran a few Dystopia MUDs before as a way of learning some C. They turned out pretty well until I accidently deleted by sourcecode and backup copies. :-x | |
Be careful not to judge him on how much muscle he has. Just because someone is weak doesn't mean they can't kick your ass from here to Alabama. If he has good reflexes and you don't, he could likely easily take you down.
| |
Heh, I've known a few guys with arms that small. Thing is anyone will say that they can beat you up as long as they don't think you know that they said it. Thats probably the case here. Personally, whenever someone says they're gonna kick my ass to my face, I just laugh and wait for them to start it, nothing ever happens.

Only if he knows judo(or some comparative martial art). Weight ratio does count for a lot. Even if your faster than hell, if you weigh 100 pounds your not going to take down someone who weighs 170 pounds, unless you use his own weight against him.
| |
Reflexes are overrated. Mano-a-mano, unless you're some kind of a judo master, I'm gonna kick your ass regardless of whether your reflexes are better than mine. And if weapons are involved, I'm bringing the heaver wrench, easy as that.

I have a friend who's a junior, and he's only 5 feet tall. He weighs about 100 lbs. When people start [stuff] with him, he doesn't mess around. In fact, there's a kid now talking bad about him, and he's gonna get messed up at the football game friday. That's one of the worst thing that makes people mad; judging them by size.
So just because you're bigger than him doesn't mean he can't take you. -Camaro- | |
What do your muscles have to do with anything? If this is about stroking your ego, thats something entirely different.
What's more important to you? Beating someone up, or keeping your girlfriend? It should be an obvious choice.
I've had to go through far "worse", if you want to call it that. The important thing, and the only thing that should matter, is your relationship.
In other words, just give it a rest =) She admitted she did something that hurt you. If you want to stroke your ego a bit more and lose your girlfriend, thats up to you. But don't blame anyone here when you lose her and it sucks, bigtime.
Hope that helps you
