Wow. I really thought that was going to be a strongbad link >.<

Hedgemistress is a little more direct than many BYONDers, by which I mean a lot more direct. That can seem harsh or mean to the person who's on the receiving end of it (as I have been once or twice). However, I'm pretty sure I've never seen her intentionally give bad advice.
Consider it this way. If I remember right, you mentioned you're in ROTC. If movies and TV are any guide, sooner or later you're bound to get some advice phrased in a way that rankles you, such as "Never look down the barrel of an assembled rifle, you grabasstic piece of amphibian crap!" Now, you might feel angry about being described as grabasstic, but that doesn't mean you can afford to ignore the good advice that came along with the insult. Just something to consider... [Edit: changed "gun" to "rifle". Now I must run around chanting "This is my rifle, this is my gun..."] | |
It's pretty funny because today I just saw a guy with the skinniest arms. He was one of those hard core punkers but seriously his arms were just bone and skin.

Yeah but it's clearly defined in the community standards not to post like that. If you let it slip for her then you have to let is slip for everyone. Otherwise you are just being unfair and untrue to your own standards.

As for whether the post violates the community standards rules, I don't think it was out of line. But maybe I just need more time to get a feel for the BYOND community. If you let it slip for her then you have to let is slip for everyone. Otherwise you are just being unfair and untrue to your own standards. There's a wide gray area between the squeaky-clean and the downright nasty. Most shades of gray are pretty easy to categorize, but not all of them. For those cases that are a bit harder to judge, people who have established a good reputation will often get the benefit of the doubt. Such is the way of the world. | |

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 This reminds me of the situation I went through not to long ago with my girlfriend. Except our relationship was demolished. It was a bright summer day, when she showed up at my friends with her ex boyfriend. This bothered me, but I didn’t make it public, I thought he was a good guy, and they were just friends. I was sitting there with my arm around her, and then she starts tickling him. She threw my arm off her shoulder, and persisted to tickle him. Rest of the night I felt unwanted, sitting there alone. Finally, it got to the point where I through her, and her ex boyfriend out of the house when they started hugging each other. That night, I told her on the phone I love her, she didn’t respond. I asked her why she didn’t respond; she said she doesn’t have to. We then ended up breaking up. We were in a 7-month relationship with each other, and everything seemed to be going alone smoothly. We planned for a nice vacation down to California, which got me rather disappointed when we broke up, because it would no longer happen. A few nights later I was drunker than a skunk and seen him walking down the road. I approached him to confront him about the issue I had, but I ended up getting side tracked with something else. A backpack that was on my back, which when I fell down earlier had ripped. But just as we were walking away, I remembered I was there to talk to him. I smacked his glasses of his face, which caused them to break, and uppercut him in the nose. Then we walked away. She is now pulling that whole “I never loved you from the start” thing, but it’s not a big deal, I got a new girl in the distance.. RaeKwon | |
Ha, good luck landing a side kick on anyone. Tae Kwon Do is not a practical martial art. You try to do that to someone my size and their gonna laugh at you, then kick the crap outa you.
(psst, I got to blue belt when I was 10, so don't say I have no basis for my opinion of Tae Kwon Do) | |
Here's a protip from an old Gamepro: Don't post your dating problems on a game forum, you might be in the section where it's allowed, but your not going to get any experienced help. hafhafhaf

Dude you kick ass! You're cool in my book! I'm sorry for what happened, that would have sucked. It's cool that you didn't totally lose yourself over it. Again I'm truely sorry for you, but that whole punching thing was bad ass. If you want to chat with me for whatever reason, my AIM screen name is ascendedsaiyannn. So, yeah, that's cool that you are like that. Are you buff or what? I know you run that DBZeta thing so prehaps since you like DBZ you also like to work out. Anyway, sorry about that grilfriend, but I'm sure youll find the right one someday.

HA! Kyle, "buff"...RRRIIIGGGGHHTTT...and I am Dubya. Nothing against you Kyle, but you're not exactly of what I'd consider, "beefcake" material. =p

It doesn't matter if you have 20" arms and weigh 300lbs, and he has no arms and weighs 80lbs. A fight is not one by whos bigger or heavier, but how you maneuver around your opponent.

In the future, don't bother punching a guy if your girlfriend dumps you for him -- especially if she dumps you by coming to your house with him, ignoring you, and getting cuddly with him. That kind of girlfriend will get a guy nowhere except the Jerry Springer Show. A good rule of thumb is that if you ever find yourself on the Jerry Springer Show, or even just seated in the studio audience, you should sell all your possessions and join a monastery.

Not true, if a big guy that can bench oh let's say 450 lbs, slams a little 80 lbs guy in the ribs. And this 80 lbs guy can bench only 150. He's not gonna have enough strength behind his fist to barely phase the big guy. So, yes size DOES matter when you compare those two listed in your scenario. Size would not matter if they were maybe within 50 lbs difference bench wise, and weight wise. But, even then the heavier guy would have the upper hand on taking more hits, but the little guy would have a bit of more agility/speed. But, like I said earlier, speed doesn't mean crap if you can't hurt the guy.

I've been trying to point that out. I let more weight fall on my chest when I work out then a lot of guys can put behind a punch, and it doesnt hurt.
As a side note, I wouldn't hit an 80 pound guy, hed fly to far, if what my dads 80 pound punching bag does is any comparison. | |
*Not targeted at a single person*
You must realize that your bulk and strength have nothing to do with being the victor in a fight. If you can't land a decent hit on a vital area, and if the person is persistant enough you will get yourself beaten by the "little guy". Saying that you are superior and invincible to those a little smaller than you is just yourself hiding behind an ego and possible insecurity. You must realize that if somebody smaller than you hit you in your "family jewels" you, like any other guy, would be on the ground. You wannabe bad-asses humor me, if you have ever been in a street fight you will know that there is no honor in it, who wins wins and who loses loses. I know that a great deal of you people are lying about your prowess and most physical characteristics, because this is the internet and very few (strange) people feel conciencious about telling a lie, if it makes you feel better about yourself and if you can get some minor attention alot of you will try your best. I have yet to see very many people benchpress much more than their own weight, and usually those people don't constantly brag about their appearance. Also... I'm sure in a fight size may matter if you are fighting a little child like you all seem to be describing, but very few people work out so hard to brag about being able to beat somebody the average Joe Shmoe could... Get real you sickening people. I suggest you chill out on the caffeine, try to work with your testosterone inbalances, and continue to work with your 2 ft. wide arms and your exceptional strengths that so many professional football players wish they had... This topic has gone from a guy asking some advise about his relationship to a home for bad-ass geeks with superior attributes and their abilities to beat on small children and midgets... Alot of BYOND sickens me, and I'm glad I don't know any of you people in real life... [To goku72] If an 80lb person could benchpress 150lbs, I sure as hell wouldn't mess with them. ~; ){en )3ishop ;~ | |
I totally agree with you, just because you're big doesn't mean you can fight well. I mean, I've seen some really small people beat the living crap out of the biggest guys in school. I can fight pretty well, but because of that I won't fight unless I really have to, there's no point really, if you have to resort to fighting right away, you're a small person inside, that can only get out of a stupid situation with more stupidity.
As for the original question, let your girlfriend do what she wants to do, you're not going to change that, even if you beat the guy up, it will probably make her think even less of you, and she'll stray even further away. What you need to do is talk to her, see what she's up to. And you could even talk to him before you fight, that's always the best way to solve things. Just don't get ahead of yourself, and fight before you know what's really going on. | |
You have to think that the bulkier you are, the slower your body can move, speed is the greatest factor in a fight, if you can move faster than someone that is fighting against you, you automaticly have the upper-hand.
Speed means that they can move around your blows, and make their own, even if the effect is lesser on their end, it'll eventually wear on you, and you'll lose it. | |

If this is your definition of "talking", I hope you don't take to heart the advice that "communication is the most important part of a relationship." | |
