    True but he is 5ft1 and overweight so I would judge the situation to see if he was anyway nifty with the bat and, if not, take the bat and give him a kick in the arse for his trouble.
    If he was a 5ft1 overweight ninja then I would run.

    5ft 1 overweight ninja!! Hehe, post of the night, acidskiffle :D

    Being too afraid to ask for a pay rise.

    Being too afraid to chat up a woman or tell her you think she is sexy in middle of chat up.

    Being too afraid to tell someone to fukc off when necessary.

    Being too afraid to use violence where necessary.

    Ha, just thought about this so why not post it :pac:
    Basically, what defines a man as a 'pussy/wimp' etc in your opinion?

    (i'll throw out a few examples)
    - a man who knows his girlfriend/wife is cheating on him but refuses to acknowlege it or do anything about it.
    - a man who will not at least attempt to fight back in a fight. Even in a self-defense situation.
    - A man who views women as being "persecuted" in today's society. That the 'man' holds them back .. i'm talking about the right scrawny type.

    care to add?

    Would you grow up ffs, this is like something a 14 year old would write, We get enough tough guys (idiots) in A & E after fights who nearly cry at the sight of a needle - they are pussies. Hold me back!!!!!!! Fight me.

    Strange thing is that you are even thinking about this topic at 5 am when most guys would be actually thinking about pussy! Not men who are pussies!

    I dont think its all 'Hi Ho Hi Ho, i'ts off to work we go' bro, some folks, even pussies, would like to gain employment, its just not a case of dropping one's CV's in and getting a call on the way out anymore.

    Aye I went too far with that statement, I think I was a bit tired and emotional when I wrote it.:o

    The lad who sits in the corner of the office, does all the donkey work and is eager to please.
    Does all the ****ty tasks

    "If I help everyone then they will like me"


    Yeah the opposite happens, you become the office doormat and get zero respect, even the girls in the office walk over you.

    And the self confident person who gets on with everyone but does less work is the one who gets promoted

    While the needy lad who sits in the corner gets bitter "don't they see what I do, I work harder then everyone"

    Gotta push yourself forward if you want to get somewhere, never ever play the martyr as you get no thanks for it and people then just expect you to cover for them

    No point killing yourself to help colleagues when they end up getting better appraisals then you

    It's not being a pussy if he just doesn't care that she is cheating, if he does care and is just in denial then he has deeper issues than just being a pussy.

    Was Ghandi a pussy? It takes far more courage to look someone in the eye when they are trying to fight you and say no, That said, I'd fight back, but I wouldn't look down on someone who doesn't.

    A "pussy" to me is someone who won't take the risk to get what he wants, such as stewing in the friend zone because he couldn't make a move.


    Only if there will be violent anal at the end of it. Real man love

    Hemmingway's men are the antithesis of pussies. Stoic, intelligent, courageous, romantic and willing to fight when nessecary. It's not about swinging at some idiot who bumps into you in a nightclub or playing at somebody's little alpha/beta games, in my mind it's about living how you want to live and defending that from the assaults of day to day life, whatever they may be.

    Being caught up in the whole notion of being or not being a pussy is not how I want to live my life.

    People who won't stand by what they have said.

    People who will not stand in if a friend is getting a beating.

    People who drive Nissan Micras.

    I think that's it really.

    No , that's just wishy washy liberal tosh that's become received wisdom in some circles this past few decades, walking away from a fight is not brave , it might be prudent but by any objective measure , it's not an act of courage , I see such attitudes as symptomatic of a more feminized western society, if Russell Crowe had walked away in gladiator , he'd have been dog food before he knew it , this example still applies in Many parts of the world where lawsuits are beyond the reach of most as a way of s

    There is a difference between fighting 1 guy and then 3 guys in self defense.
    One guy against three has no chance.

    Speak for yourself puss in boots! On 3 occasions in my life I had the pleasure of kicking the Sh!t out of 3 scangers who assumed that I was a pushover because I didn't wear stripy tracksuits. Ah bliss, and years of kung Fu and Karate training. I draw the line at 7 though, tried it once, didn't work out well.

    Oh wait the scangers have guns now:eek:, Best run away.;)

    Anyone who claims to have a particular set of morals which they do not actually live by is a pussy.

    Have the courage of your convictions to avoid catching vagitis.

    Ego is a quintessentially male thing , a pussy wouldn't have an ego in the first place


    the term pussy might be a bit harsh however , metrosexual might be more appropriate , someone like Tom dunne on newstalk who seems happiest when discussing lactating mothers or wallpapering bedrooms

    Baschically, a man who seems to naturally empathise with women on any topic , deep down , most women have nothing but contempt for men like this bar a minority of feminist lesbianism who see them as usefull idiots
