ive often wondered if stripping down completely nude and screaming 'LETS DO THIS ANCIENT GREEK STYLE!' would work.

i have yet to had to put it into practice, though.

i mean who would want to writhe around wrestling a nude man?

bwhahahahah

knowing my luck i would do that and the guy would agree! 😕
 
Kick them in the jimmy and then run screaming like a California Democrat (girlie-man).

Seriously, I haven't been in a fight since junior high. The last time I was close to one was playing flag football in college. The guy didn't like the fact that in the process of going up and knocking a ball away from him, we collided. He jumped up ready to fight and I was just laughing cause I was having fun. For some reason, his buddies grabbed me. They must have thought I was going after him or something. The refs came over and broke it up before anything happened fortunately. I would have been screweed three against one. 🙂

Didn't you see Neb's post where he said he & some of his buddies would go to straight bars & pick fights? :Q
 
I just try and talk my way out. Not worth actually fighting over.

That business with you west coasters and out-of-towners being in your lineup is just ridiculous. It's a big effin' ocean. Did you at least do something to provoke them like drop in on them, or you just paddle out and get harassed? Either way it's just plain stupid :roll:. Somebody drops in on you, get over it. The waves keep coming.

Another thing I like about paddle surfing - few surfers are stupid enough to mess with a kayaker. I guess paddles make for a formidable-looking weapon, although I'd never hit someone with my paddle. It was too expensive 😛
 
I stay away from confrontations cause I'd rather be a pussy and be out of jail than be a tough guy and be separated from my daughter.
 
First you have to be very calm and just be nice and avoid comfrontation. If they keep going let them get close and in your face, stay calm the whole time. They ususally don't throw the first punch if you just stand there. Wait, once they are really worked up,(without making any telltale signs that anything is going to happen) throat punch the first guy. Then give him a very hard punch to the solar plexes. If there are other people trying to start crap, just go hard and fast towards them.

But most people will be pretty off gard if you do it right. Some people back off after their friends get messed up. Without a "leader" most people are pretty chicken, since usually the "tough guy" will be the one trying to start it. If not you lay into them. The basic thing is that most people don't have any training, so they are easy to take down, and most people don't expect a calm person to react fast.
 
i take off my clothes and assume the greco roman wrestling pose, when they see that i know the proper form of a wrestler they usually run away.
 
tell him you are gay and posses HIV virus. dont forget to add it would be to his best interest not to get any closer to you 😉
 
Start arguing with yourself about how bad you are gonna kick their ass. They will think you are f'in nuts and probably leave you alone.
 
I've found laughing hysterically to work pretty well. But, then again, most people don't pick fights with women. Certainly not with me. I think I'm kinda intimidating.

Hey, one of us is getting fisted no matter what.
 
LMAO@ 98% of the posts in here. But back on topic I have been in a few fights in the past while. One I got jumped because some egotistical wise ass didnt like me having a snowball fight with my sister lol. Showed him good. 😛 Then the most rescent one i was walking down main street with my girlfriend and some crack addict pulled a knife on us. I must agree, acting calm and striking hard works well. Raising my hands and denying confrontation keeps him talking. Next thing he knew he had a broken nose, was on his back with my hand around his throat threatening his very existance. I have never been so ruthless before. moral of the story, dont pull knives on couples with loving boyfriends. All it really took was a quick grab of his collar with a sharp 'reefing' motion and a downward swipe of my forhead to make a nice gooey mess of his nose. Asshole now knows not to pick on people with violent cousins. Meh

Yeah, Neb isn't your average homosexual.

Nothing wrong with that, I actually find it refreshing.
 
I've been confronted a number of times in my current line of work (I'm an RA); basically all I do is remain calm, inform them that they're currently threatening a University employee, which could get them expelled, and that they'll be speaking with the PD shortly - they can either have a chat or spend a night, minimum, in jail, depending on their course of action. It's worked pretty well for the last two years.
