| Post subject: | Huge blow to my self-esteem |
Basicaly I got into a fight. Some guy decided that he needed to kick my ass to gain social proof next to his friends. He was shorter than me but he was very bold, at first I didn't take him seriously but then I found out that he was with other 4-5 guys. He wasn't a challenge, the problem was that those other guys were ready to jump in if I fought back, so all I did was just deflect his punches. Some jock landed a sucker-elbow on me and that's all. Problem is that I feel like a pussy now because I didn't fight back. And I'm afraid I won't get over this. How should I handle it? Should I remember it as a fun story to tell, or just completely forget about it? Before you ask, yes some friends saw this too. |

I don't see the fun in this story. Don't mention it. If one of your friends brings it up, just say you choked. This story says more about your friends who didn't back you up than about you. Everyone would be scared in situation against 5 other guys. Be happy that you are ok now. As for feeling about the pussy part, start training mma or something. |

I trained Muay thai a few months ago. Only did it for 1 month. I think that saved me from him landing a few hits. I am more worried about my game though. I need some way to recover from this. |

You should only forget about it! There is nothing to tell! I dont think anyone could say that you did the right choice or the bad choice. Because people see it differently. It kinda depends what person you are. Some people dont like to fight and some people try and avoid it and some people just like to fight. If that happend to me, I would probably fight the one guy then if his friends would jump in and they beat the shit out of me i could easily say "i did my best" But what if i kicked the one guys ass and his friends did beat me so much that i became handicapped, then i would regret that my whole life. So i think that you did the right thing! This is not anything that should affect you game! Shit Happens! Just learn from it and get over it! Btw Nice friends you got there, maybe you should party with some other? One N Only PRookie |

Man I am against fighting. And 5 guys? I wouldn't have fought back either. In a few years this might be funny. But for now, don't call yourself a fucking pussy. You did what your instincts told you, and that's NOT being a pussy. Again...you are NOT a pussy for not fighting back. You know what you are? SMART. |

Pick up the weights and train hard. Get into some martial arts classes and learn the shit you need to learn in order to defend yourself. I've never bothered to learn much about MA, but it's meant to be a great way of boosting your confidence and discipline. I always try and weasel my way out of such situations. There's no point in fighting when you don't have too. One of the things about an Alpha male, if you want to use the term, that distinguishes them from Beta's is that the Alpha is living a life filled with adventures and stories to tell later on in life. Whilst some shit may be weak now, I'm sure you'll look upon it in a better light later in life. One of the greatest influences to me personally has been dropped by an insane number of girls, shot at and sent to prison. All terrible things, but they made him the great person he is now. |

Okay, i am a good street fighter, mma fighter and i teach martial arts, if there is more than 1 guy, logistics, my rule is never ever fight, specially when more than 1 guy, second, if i have no choice i would punch in the nose, the target guy and, yes and RUN as hard as i can, lol!!!!!!!!!! The pussy and the idiot is the guy that would try to fight more than 1 guy... I got jump several times, and i just ran like run forest run, fuck that... |

Skills360 basically covered all there is to it. MA will boost your confidence, but I've found that that no matter what style (excluding weapon ones) you pick, you will never be 100% secure against multiple attackers. Actually, chances are you'll almost always get seriously beaten up. To me the best solution is buying a pepper spray. Stylish and effective. There are other weapons you can choose for self defense, but you should always be aware that it can end up in someone elses hands. And no, you're not a pussy. Being a pussy is calling 5 guys to beat 1. |
