Ever got into a fight for the girl?

    Gentlemen, indeed.

    Have you ever got into fisticuffs over a lady? Ever get started-on for chatting to some guys chick? Ever find your girl in a compromising position with Joe Bloggs and just blow a fuse?


    I myself have got into two such situations... The first time, I was in the wrong; she was dating this guy, I knew about it and like the twat I was I got involved with her... Needless to say her other half wasn't impressed and proceeded to knock seven colours of s**t out of me! After that myself and herself were together for about 4 years...

    A second time I was out with my GF of about 6 months and a local creepy, slimey, waster that I went to school with started chatting to her as I got drinks. I noticed that he had followed her to the bathroom and after that he was prowling constantly around her group of friends. Long story short: When we were leaving he asked for her number, she told him to feck off that she's with me and then he groped her ass so I lost the head and punched him. Repeatedly.

    Felt very shameful after both events...

    No, but ah sure Im only 19, I can see plenty o brawls on the horizon :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,925 ✭✭✭Otis Driftwood


    Nope,never been in fight over a female and unless she is seriously wronged in my prescence ie a bloke hits her then I probably never will be.All my female friends are well able to look after themselves so getting their arse squeezed,while distasteful and not very nice is hardly reason to get into a barney over.

    Besides,blokes fighting eachother outside of a controlled sporting environment is lame.

    ^^^What Ned said.

    I was the prize in a catfight once. Sounds awesome in my fantasy fueled world but in reality it was a sad sight to behold. I walked away from that nightmare and left them to it. Lifes too short...

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I was in a fight BECAUSE of a girl, does that count? some guy walked over to me a few years back and punched me right in the side of the head for no reason, his stupid drunk bitch of a girlfriend had accused me of feeling her arse "all night" (I wasnt even in the same club, i had walked down there to meet friends after being somewhere else) I tried to explain this but he had none of it, I did get him a right good knee into the stomach which made him think differently about it though, they wound up walking off yelling at each other while he was doubled over and she could barely stand she was so pissed:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,333 ✭✭✭✭itsallaboutheL


    Was in a club one night with the ex-MissL, group of drunk lads dancing around in a circle, one of them elbowed her, turned around and started laughing.

    I just caught him by the shirt and told him to apologise.

    He caught me by the throat.

    I had the last laugh.:cool:

    However i dislike this thread. Fighting never ends well and is generally an exercise in futility unless you happen to be in a ring and are getting paid for it.

    Once yea. Held a guy over a stairwell when he had given a dead arm punch to an ex. Wouldnt be too quick to do so now. Often you're damned if you do and damned if you dont.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Sorry to hear it - reminds me of this bit humour I got recently (hope that's ok):
    A man and his little girl were on an overcrowded elevator. Suddenly, the woman in front turned around, slapped him and left in a huff.

    The little girl remarked, "That's OK daddy, I didn't like her either. She was stepping all over my toes. That's why I pinched her."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,696 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Muscle bound he man she bitch knocked out my bosses petite little wife in a free for all pub fight, boss looked over at me as he was busy thumping someone, I knew by the way he looked at me he wanted me to deck the ho, so I did, knocked her clean out and rescued bosses wife! Employee of the month, meh!

    First and only time I ever hit a woman and when i say woman i use the term
    very loosley!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,523 ✭✭✭Traumadoc


    I got hit by my "going to be ex" girlfriend in a nightclub when I was 'between" girlfriends.
    Does that count?

    Never gotten into a physical confrontation but have come fairly close to one, out with my OH one night a few months ago in a club, went to bathroom, went to get drinks, came back to her and there was a scumbag trying it on with her, arms around her waist trying to drag her onto the dancefloor. Tapped him on the shoulder and asked him to leave her alone, got the usual face up to mine, hand pushing my shoulder knocking me back, telling me to mind my own business...


    Sorry mate, see that engagement ring she's wearing, I gave that to her. Muppet


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,477 ✭✭✭✭Raze_them_all


    Nah not woth the hassle. Used to work as a doorman, ended up in a brawl one night, hit a guy once, flash ko, ended up skulling himself off the kerb, 3 days later he got outta intesnsive care, learned a scary ass lesson about fighting outside of a ring, wont be doing it again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,283 ✭✭✭Deedsie


    A lad made a horrible comment to my ex. She was obviously put out by it. I told him to apologise, he was squaring up to me, he wont do it again. He got a broken nose, i got a sprained wrist.

    Its just stupid, i dont know why people do it.
    At the same time, id have no problem putting myself in danger to keep her safe. Current GF says she always feels safe with me. I like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Its a guy thing really, defending a girls honour and all that jazz, I know my missus can take care of herself but if I saw a guy (or girl) starting on her I'd step in, wouldnt be the first to throw a punch but if theres no talking your way out of something then as a last resort I would. depends on the situation though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,612 ✭✭✭uncleoswald


    No. But many times I have seen girls, usually at the end of a night outside of clubs, getting into arguments with blokes. She'll have a boyfriend trying to calm her down and pull her away as he knows he'll be the one to have to do the actual fighting, but she'll be shouting stuff over his shoulder at the guy who is usually twice as big as the boyfriend. "You going to let him talk to me like that!?" :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 147 ✭✭Communicationb


    A girl started on me one night downstairs in the Viperroom a few years back...she threw slaps at me like a pro boxer.....like a big girls blouse I ran to the bouncer and complained. :o

    They were kicked out...:D

    Am sure they were knackers though...no normal woman could throw slaps like that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 712 ✭✭✭arsenallegend


    i've seen a few fights over girls which led to some guys getting hurt especially when a few drinks are invovled. I've been with girls who flirt with guys on purpose in front of their boyfriends so they see if they will fight for them. Women know what kind of power they have over men


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭PK2008


    Once outside a nightclub, my friend was having an argument with a random girl (cant remember what it was over but I was pretty sure he was in the wrong) anyway I was trying to drag him away when she swung her bag, clocked me on the face and split my eye open, blood everywhere.

    The gaurds were standing in front of me when it happened and bizzarly they laughed about it, and told us to go home.

    Anyway, I think there are alot of girls out there that can handle themselves tbh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,555 ✭✭✭Gillington


    On the dance floor with the ex one night,there was a lad she thought she knew dancing with a girl near us so she went up and bit his hand! Dont ask me why,although it wasnt a skin breaker or it didnt look bad I couldnt understand why she done it!
    Anyway your man slapped her in the face which I thought was a bit much so I stepped in and we exchanged blows,my bro used to work in this place so I knew all the bouncers,he was the only one to get kicked out!

    She attacked him for ****s sake what did she expect.:confused::confused:

    All sorts of crap can be caught from having a bite wound and I can't blame him for smacking her.

    ..exactly.

    Guy B is subjected to random unprovoked biting attack, retaliates, gets involved with OP and he alone gets slung out of the club.

    Meanwhile, more than likely p*ssed as a fart, bint is free to move along without so much as a second thought and no lesson learned.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    No. Hopefully it'll stay that way also !

    I realise there could be situations that just can't be avoided (IE defending yourself from an attack) but I'd never be the first one to throw a punch over something that can be sorted out over a few words.

    I was in Bruxelles many years ago with 2 mates. Two lads came over to us (one look very scarily like Freddie Mercury) and accused us of "harrassing" their girlfriends in the toilet. It didnt get physical but they got very agressive with us over it. (Obviously we were innocent of their claims!)

    We tried to cool the row but they were edging closer to violence. Then the 2 ladies in question came over and one of them said "No, thats not them" and walked off. The 2 lads, red with embarrassment changed immediately and did a huge back peddle on their accusations. But you could see how hard it was for them to admit they were wrong.

    The bouncers came over and turfed them. Rightly or wrongly, they asked the bouncers to get me and my friends to confirm that it was a misunderstanding and nothing happened. But we didnt feel like bailing them out so they got turfed. Their own fault.

    Relax there lads ffs,as I said i dunno why she did it but it was a playful bite as she thought it was someone she knew.I myself would be pissed off but my first reaction would not be to smack a girl in the face.

    Yeah last year, I was in town with my girlfriend. I was looking at something in a shop window while she walked up on ahead a little bit. When I looked up, she was surrounded by these five scumbag looking guys. When I saw one of them pushing her I flipped. Marched right up to them and punched the lad who did it in the nose. Suddenly, it was 5 on 1 until it was broken up and I got the crap kicked out of me but I couldn't let them get away with it.

    Cant disagree more.There is no excuse,unless in an unlikely scenario of it being literally life and death,for a man to hit woman,end of story.

    A bite on the hand is hardly being attacked is it?

    There is a Drama forum around here somewhere you know.

    Yes smacking her one was a bit OTT but I hope you let her know if it happens again you won't be coming to her rescue. At the very least she should've been turfed out of the club too.

    I would much rather be flat out punched than bitten by some randomer tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,739 ✭✭✭✭minidazzler


    Last time I was in a fight for a girl was when I was 12! :D I won the fight (against my best friend at the time! :D) But he still got the girl because I decided I liked her friend after the fight! :D

    Could not agree more, some random bint bites your hand, however hard and your expected to stand and smile? No point in saying it was 'playful' and 'relax', you don't know her at all and for all you know she has every disease in the world imaginable. i don't condone his reaction but hardly think the girl was the innocent victm in all this. Besides I am trying to think what my reaction woudl be if some girl I actually do know bit my hand as a way of saying hello in a nightclub.

    It reminds me of the critiscm of Tom Cruise (and I don't really like the dude but will defend him here) when he 'overreacted' to water being sprayed on his face as an hilarious prank at some movie launch or something in the UK. Put yourself in his position, some stranger squirts some liquid on your face you have no idea what it is and cameras are rolling and people are laughing and waiting for a reaction. In all honesty he had a much better reaction than I would have, not saying I would physically attack the dude but calling soming a 'jerk' is hardly overreacting.

    Assualt is assualt and you've a right to defend yourself.

    Wouldn't matter a damn to me, man or woman - assault me and I'm gonna hit back very hard, I'm not a punch bag for anyone.

    I dunno, that video always appeared to me to be pure accident on the part of the guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭PK2008


    Watching it, it looks like they're trying to figure out where to go or something, then the guy and girl come from behind one guy, he glances back over his shoulder but probably only fleetingly see's the boyfriend, then thinking 'I know, I bet this guy can help me' quickly turns and reaches out to tap the guy on the shoulder before he walks past, but then accidently clocks yer mans missus.

    They dont even attempt to follow up the 'attack' also they look like they're trying to explain to the guy but its too late he's totally lost it. Unfortunate mix up, the guy is like a Spartan though

    :confused: He looks like a hooligan. What could possibly make him a legend? Talk about walking around with a chip on your shoulderand pent-up aggression. Looks to me like one lad says to the other something like 'ask yer man there..' and he swings around without thinking, on top of which the two of them look drunk as it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,549 ✭✭✭Noffles

    the back story is that the two guys were involved in a scam type thing where one would "happyslap" an innocent passer by and in the confusion that ensued, rob bags etc - that's why they were being filmed.
