Could you beat your dad, in a fight?

Tehachapi

Ah yes the important issues of the day. What age were you when (or if) you could successfully defeat your dad in a gruelling battle of the ancients. For me I was around 17-18 and when I gained the height on him.

Vegeta

Someone watched Hot Rod on Film4 last night

Cool Beans

Seachmall

I'm taller than my dad but he could whoop my ass without a doubt.

Floodric

My dad is around a 6 inches smaller than me, but he'd still kick the bollox outta me.

biko

Ah, the old Oedipus complex at work.

ULTIMATE PUNCH!

alwaysadub

My dad is dead 15 years, so I think I have the advantage finally

blockedPaT

Nope think he'd beat me easily

Cú Giobach

Ha!! I could kick the walking frame out from under him no prob, down he'd go.

As in not fully developed physically?

It depends on a number of factors.

ejmaztec

It was thanks to my dad's omnipotence that I decided to become a pacifist.

SeaFields

I'm 6 inches taller, a stone heavier and 30 year younger so yes I could but why would i want to OP?

saintsaltynuts

RichieC

flutterflye

yeah, around when I became taller than him and took up martial arts. He was in his late 50's at the time also so that gave me another advantage.

You sure it's your dad?

Bloody Nipples

I dunno, my dad is 58 but he has this freaky wiry strength we seem to be pretty evenly matched when we wrestle.

Yeah sure look at Rosanna Davison dad.

starviewadams

I'm a few inches taller then my auld fella but he's a hardy Donegal man with arms like tree trunks from using the chainsaw everyday so I reckon he'd kill me in a fight!

"Was" as in past tense? You didn't kill him did you?

Your dad isn't lazy when he sits around drinking beer. He's resting up.

Weighing up the fors and againsts I dunno really. I've about 25 pounds on him and I am fit, he's shorter and has a bad back. But he also has training and years of dealing with people who need to be taken down from time to time. Since he's my dad I wouldn't try to hurt him really, I couldn't, unless he tried to hit my mother, which he never would. But as a man on the street knowing what I know about him, one good hit to the back and I am winning if I were to proper fight him.

weemcd

Has a few stone, and a height on me. I'd say he'd still thump the head off me if i ever got dicky.

I always had a theory that most people would not be able to beat their da in a fight until he was probably very old, my granda is still a sturdy bástard in his 90's. Used to have drunk conversations with mates on how Evander Holyfields da would probably beat him if it came to it (I have never seen a picture of Holyfield senior, he could be 5'9" for all I know)

bonerm

No but I've beaten up my mother numerous times.

ejmaztec

I've seen some people's mothers who could beat their 20 year-old sons in a fight.

yupyup7up

Im fairly strong and fit and my dad has 2 fake hips and is 36 years older than me and he'd still looter the head off me

Wolfe Tone

At around 17 I was bigger and stronger, he would kick my ass though cause I wouldn't want to hit my Da.

hullaballoo

Not at the moment.


Though my dad's dead some 27+ years, I have a step-dad. Now, ordinarily I'd beat him senseless because he's in a wheelchair, but I have a broken ankle at the moment so I'd only beat him if I was sitting down and was able to use my crutches.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Not a chance. He'd knock me out with one punch.

Dravokivich

Last time we had a fight, I broke his ankle.

Turpentine

This is an old home movie of me and Daddy duking it out. He's a proud man, and won't wear sunglasses even though the bright light negatively affects his cataracts

Even though I take after Mammy's side of the family more, I think I've inherited his stubborn streak lol

My dad actually does post here, hopefully he won't beat me for saying I could be him in a real life or death fight.

decisions

In a straight out fist fight never. But as a daughter I can say things first to catch him off guard and then I might stand a chance.

"Im pregnent"

Stunned silence

But even then he would need to be K.O.ed with the first punch :rolleyes:

Celly Smunt

you try fight a marine with these girly arms

strobe

I really don't think so, I have about 3 inches on him and he is 65(ish) now but I've seen the guy fight, he's a fukking animal.

sollar

My father is 62 and i'd say he'd give me a beatin if it came down to it.

I couldn't imagine lifting a finger to him though - horrible thought.

Steve_o

Not a chance, he would kick the livin f*** outta me in a fight!! I never reached his height, I stopped growing an inch shorter than him... cursed maternal genes...

im invisible

With the help of God I did surely, and that the Holy Immaculate Mother may intercede for his soul. He was a dirty man, God forgive him, and he getting old and crusty, the way I couldn't put up with him at all.

I never used weapons. I've no license, and I'm a law-fearing man. I just riz the loy and let fall the edge of it on the ridge of his skull, and he went down at my feet like an empty sack, and never let a grunt or groan from him at all.

I buried him then. Wasn't I digging spuds in the field?

Height is not the determining factor

I'd like to hear from more ladies on this one.

The superfluous comma makes the question look like a double entendre with a trick ending.
