When someone says you are a big guy

[jtunderdog]

I have heard this a couple times when I was bloated but I was talking to a kid who was 21 the other night and said if a fight broke out he wanted a big guy like me on his side. It was kinda ego satisfying but I then told him I was far from a fighter but considering I weighed 135 when I started training and am around 230 the work I put in is finally getting noticed.

Yeah I have had people say this to me before aswell. If they only knew that I couldnt fight my way out of a wet paper bag. lol!

Well the good thing about being big is it's kinda like carrying a big stick. People generally do not want to mess with a guy that's bigger than them. I think it's just animal instinct.

I've learned some fighting skills in the past couple of years, but was a pretty big and strong guy when I started.

I will say that brute strength goes a LOOOONG way in fighting anyone. Unless someone is skilled enough to know how to use your size against you (which isn't most of the population), you have a huge advantage already.

i dont like fighting, it increases the risk of injury and being out of the gym for too long. If somone messes with me. il ignore it...ill probably be more pissed off if i couldn't go to the gym for 4weeks if i injured myself breaking his nose with my fist.
im a lover not a fighter.. haha!!

Last thing I want to do is fight. I guess thats why I carry a .45 99% of the time. I will do my very best to never put myself into a situation where I'd have to fight. I am aware of my surroundings and stay away from dark alleys.

Avoiding a bad situation is most of the problem. However if the time came, I'd regulate. Fuck getting into a fight.

Fighting is for losers.. Unless you get paid to do it !!!

Yea I've heard that line a lot too. But I've been big for more yrs that I was small so its lost its luster.

Not to hijack to a small degree, but what I can't stand is the 'ol "Damn man your frikin huge, how much can you lift?"

People always confuse being big with muscles with being good at fighting...I know when I used to bounce the bigger guys were easiest to take down...Someone smaller and leaner and athletic was usually far more of a challenge.

Its funny though because I am not a huge guy by any means, but when I meet people they always say things like, "you are jacked, but i have a friend that's even bigger and stronger" then you are.. LOL...then I meet the guy and its some large fat stocky guy...

Funny how people perceptions are...But they are usually wrong. I never underestimate anyone, the moment you do, you have lost.

very few big guys know how to fight, because they never had too, its the small guys that have been fighting their whole lives, they know how to fight, big guys are just bullies throwing their size around I laugh at them, but then again I don't disrespect anybody unless they do it to me first, but even then unless someone touches me I could care less what they say

 

[Mrbigz]

ive been fighting sence i was born, but my environment i grew up in forces a kid into that. being a big muscular guy actually gives you a break from having to fight.

But every once in awhile you'll get the ego trippin duechbags that wanna test you, when you gotta clean house you gotta clean house

I no longer go out and get into fights like I did when I was a kid, but I always liked the challenge of a bigger guy. I've gotten my ass kicked a few times, but I really learned a lot about myself by never backing down to a bigger guy. Anymore I'm just too old for that bullshit, but yea I loved fighting a bigger guy

 

[Mrbigz]

you know and thats what alot of poeple lack is humility, ive had my ass beat down, and crazy as it sounds it was by a guy way smaller than me. no excuses we fought hard!!! and he was the victor. i even fought the guy again cause i couldnt handle the loss. but second time around and stiched up fourhead i shook his hand and walked away feeling very human.

im 25 right now and the whole ego thing, walking around full of air is a total waist of energy

I'm 27 and will still get into the middle of shit that I don't start. I've had to walk away a lot of times, but there's still that very rare occasion that I can't do it. I don't go out picking someone out like I did when I was an immature kid

 

[Mrbigz]

yea, i hear you man, same here. dude funniest shit ever, last fight i was in i was at a bar and i was saving a friend from an ass woopin, the guy i punched fell on the ground, the guy's fuckin ol'lady breaks a bottle over my head!! i waas raging and with out thinking i turned around and threw the hardest punch i could. i hit this girl dead in between the eye balls LOL!!! this was last summer, i felt like the biggest piece of shit! But i thought it was another guy, i saw the dude and his girl at hasting, both with black eyes LOL!! i knew then, to seriously never get in between shit again. the guy's girl was pretty hot too.

i feel really bad, i hope i can be forgiven that one
