Hey so I got a black eye in training a couple days ago and it isn't better yet. I am out gaming tonight and again tomorrow and I wanted to know if anyone had any tips for taking it out of the Violence DLV zone and into the DHV zone. Any know anything??? I sure haven't ever thought about it til now.

Hey Mate,
That's a great question, but it's really an easy one!
There are so many great DHV stories you could create from this. I'd go with something along the lines of you were standing up for a family member or a girlfriend of yours and you copped a belt even though it wasn't you fault.

Just make yourself look like the victim of violence, even though you were doing the right thing and make sure they know it was unexpected so it doesn't look like in the outcome you were the loser.

The rest is up to your imagination

if they ask about your eye, just say
"yea, cupid missed my heart and got me in the eye..guess it just wont work out with us" or somethin cheezy like that.
then goto dhv story on somethin as Bloke said

mate, just tell the truth, its not like you started a street fight with some dumbass. Training some kind of fighting (I assume thats how u got it) is badass, which is DHV.

I personally do kickboxing and whenever i work it into the conversation girls are impressed.

Yeah I missed the training part, If you are training a martial art that is a DHV in itself . Most daily activities can be made into DHVS you just gotta be creative.

See I think it's badass, you think it's badass, dudes think it's bad ass but girls don't like that shit. I wish it was a DHV and I thought it would be but time has proven otherwise.

The first rule of Fight Club is, you don't talk about Fight Club.

Perfect!

I respectufully disagree. I tell a lot of girls that im a kickboxer and they love it. I means you are able to protect them, you arent afraid of everything and that you are athletic.

Girls dont like fighting, but they do like it when u know how to fight. You just have to frame it right, you arent training because you wanna "bash cunts" but because you wanna be able to stand your ground should someone attack you or a loved one AND it makes you fit. I also sincerely hope that is true because training a martial art for the sake of being able to fight someone is IMO wrong.

I train for competitive fighting. For self defense I carry a handgun.

man, no shit, I train for the same reason and cuz I truly enjoy it, however, you dont have to say that to girls. Or, you can say that you compete (its a form of sport, hence DHV) but you also like to know you can handle yourself in a street fight should the need arise despite you being completely against any kind of violence outside the ring.
