Have you ever actually been in a physical fight in your life?

No, never James. I was one of those cutest little girl who would dare do that. Not even with her sisters. I think girls are pretty much not into physical fighting but every other boy I come across has had this once in a life time. That goes to show the instinctive difference between the two genders. having said this, a blow or punch so to speak, could be similar to a girl's killer spats in form of verbal arrows. I still remember the dialogue from Pretty Woman, where Julia Roberts says that boys are taught how to punch right from there high schools.....I think it's a complete guy thing. A guy who hasn't experienced this is not a guy at all.

Thankfully James Never. The one or two occasions which may have led to one, i was protected and someone else always came to protect me. Not that i am a coward, but it's something i detest. In fact do remember getting my clothes a little bloodied a few years ago while trying to seperate two friends having a fight. Seeing the bloodied shirt,some of my other friends got further agitated and complicated the whole fight into a street brawl. I think here it has mostly been words are louder than action. But having said this would not hesitate if pushed against the wall or to protect near and dear ones.

Besides the ones with my sister when we growing up...I remember one when I was 10 and at school (I think that's the only time I had a physical fight). I'm not really sure what strted it....it was something to do with our grades on a test....but this girl in my class tripped me as I was walking to my seat with my lunch...and my lunch fell on the floor. I was VERY hungry and really mad at the girl...so, I gave her a punch...and of course, she gave me one back. Well, to make the story short, we ended up fighting the whole lunch hour and most of the other girls in class wer involved with a few of them trying to pull us apart and getting punched in the process. It beame quite famous and one of the girls made a poster of it ('The Great Fight' starring Sandhya and Ambily....directed by 'The Devil'....blah blah) and put it out for all to see. It seems silly and funny now....and we all laugh over it....and it made us famous at school.

From school age, right up until my middle 20s I was always in a fight, it just seemed to be the way of my life. Trouble followed me around like a bad smell. At school I was always in a fight with other girls, and then when I was older it seemed to be even worse. Thankfully now though, I no longer have that problem!

I very nearly got in a fight wth another girl over a boy but I walked away from it. I was at a dance with a boy. The date had been arranged by my mother and his grandfather who worked together. His grandfather had said to my mother that his grandson was going out with the wrong sort of girl and he would like him to meet some nice girls for a change. I only went out with him because I liked his grandfather. A gir came up to me at the dance and started shouting at me saying that he was hers and she would fight me for him. I just said she could have him and walked way. His grand father was very upset when he heard what had happened and was not happy with him for getting me into that situation but I was not really worried about it. I do not like seeing people fight. There is enough trouble in the world without individuals fighting over silly things. I am 59 now so I sould think I will get through life without fighting.

was involved in a few fights when younger and easily hyped up. now tone down and come to think of it, it was childish to fight for the sake of fighting and just over a staring incident. those days, we were young and immature. haha. now, busy earning money, where got time to get into fight. am i right.

yeah i had some confrontations in my teen years but not on the physical fight itself...and also in the early years of my marriage...it was my in-laws whom i got troubled with all the timebut now well not anymore ..im old for that and grown matured through the years..

Yes, with my sister. I lost. Well I think because she's my older sister, I chose not to fight back and I just protected the part of my body being injured. She pulled my hair and sat on top of me and started banging my head on the cold tiled of the house. This happened twice. I had 4-5 bumps on my head and had a lot of falling hair the 2 days. We just laugh about it now. My sister and I are very close. Those fights happened because I was still on my rebellion phase and she was always hot headed. No whenever we fight, we just stay quiet and not talk to each other. Before the day ends we're laughing as if nothing happened. Fights happen, may it be physical or verbal, and it happens because of conflict. But its normal and we can't stop it from happening. These are challenges that we should face and we should manage to get through.

During my elementary and high school days in the 1980s and 1990s, I had been through many physical fights, as well as being bullied and harassed. Now, I am known as the person who is very vulnerable, because I have been in an incident which made a turning point from being safe to unsafe. I feel that physical fight does not solve problems, it just makes matters worse.

Scraps with my brothers and sister aside, I cannot think of any physical fights. My younger sister was the scrapper. You know how the older sibling usually takes up for the younger ones? Nope, not me....I mean I would but, no to the point of getting into a physical fight. But, my sister was always getting into fights, and it didn't matter if it was boys or girls. I remember one time, in jr. high, we were walking home from school. There were a couple of very tough girls following us. They just kept taunting us. My sister kept getting madder and madder. I just kept walking, trying not to hear what they were saying, not really caring. All of a sudden, my sister dropped her books on the ground, spun around and charged the girls. The girl she attacked was quite a bit bigger than her, but she's not very big, anyway. They were rolling around on the ground, pulling hair, poking each other in the eyes, trying to make two nostrils one, etc. My sister got the upper hand, ended sitting on top of the girl, grabbed a huge hoop earring the girl was wearing, and dared her to move. My sister put a bit more pressure on her grip of the earring, until the girl gave up. Needless to say, we weren't picked on any more that year. Shoot, I never wanted to get in a fight with her after that. She was scarey!*LOL*

The only physical fight I have ever been in took place when I was about six years old. I was upset at my friend because I thought my Mom liked her better. We started wrestling and pulling each others hair. We yanked on my Holly Hobby doll and ripped one of her arms off. We started laughing and decided to play with Barbies. LOL - it's a pretty funny memory for me.

Remembering this makes me smile. I was a freshman and a tomboy, but since i was a new student, there were sophomore boys (yes, boys) who were obviously checking the new girls out. It was lunch break and they went to our classroom and shamelessly approached us. They were fresh, so i told them to leave. They would not. So i kicked a chair, they ran, then came back to tease us... i punched one guy after i grabbed him by his shirt. His cousin came to me and pinned me on the corridor wall. I struggled, tried to bite his arms but could not. He was strong. He got me so scared when he muttered something about me being just a girl and should be careful...From then on, i sort of mellowed and stopped being a tomboy. It was the third and last physical fight i had with a boy. BTW, i met that guy 14 years after high school graduation and he became one of the best boyfriend I've had (that's the reason for my smile). His name was Grant.

Mine encounter was bit unusual, i fought with my office mate. We were of one department, same cubicle just ahead of me in work level. Everybody from office especially the ladies scared and get nervous once he raise voice. One time, half hour before our off, he actually asked favor to do something before i go home. I suggested to do it next day anyway other requirements are incomplete and it will still come out useless. But he insist and became harsh, said something touched my ego. A very personal word that triggers me. I stay calmed, to avoid trouble i did his request. At sharp 5 o'clock, exactly im done, swiftly keep the documents inside my drawer. And said "goodbye, i wont render overtime today". So i hurriedly went out from the building and wait for vehicle at the gate house. Few minutes after, he come to the gate guard and order me to go back to office and finish his request. This time, i kept lowered down my nerves but gnashing my teeth. When i entered the office, what met my eyes was this supervisor sitting at the lobby with ladies office mates, chatting and laughing, ordering me again. I went right to the drawer and get the documents and come closer to him, i tear off pieces the papers in front of him, throw off into his face, seized his shirts collar and pressed him against the wall. I told him "you ought to know me, your being UP top guy wont work for me. He never said anything but stayed in his position and look very pale. That very morning, everybody from the office sold to what i did, they said it was a breakthrough. My direct boss called me up, i was ready for any consequence but He said Paul admitted that he bad mouthed me before i got terribly angry. From that on, thus engineers with excessive proud from UP, Ateneo and other top universities turn humble , cool and gentle. I could say i was on the right track because the HR didnt comment neither send memo. Just recently, we meet in the mall, we shake hands and he reminds me our quarrel. We laughed together with his wife.

I haven't had a fight for going on 30 years, but in my late 20s to early thrities I got involved in several. I never started one, but I also wouldn't take a backward step if someone got aggressive, and I was an argumentative little bugger (gee, I don't think I've changed much in that respect lol), and if they took it to the next step, I'd oblige by knocking them down. Never did lose one, but I ended up with broken bones in both hands and a nasty scar under my hair on the back of my head from an ashtray. The fight started, all my friends grabbed me to stop me hitting him again, and he got up, grabbed an ashtray, and started banging away at my head. They let me go then, and I finished him off lol. My last fight ended up with the other fellow in hospital with serious concussion, at which point I decided I should modify my response, and since then I have managed to avoid any further physical confrontations.

I am a woman but have been in several fights through out my life. I can hold my own when I need to. But my very first fight I go tmy bum kicked. I was in teh eigth grade. A girl started a fight with me because I didn't wear a bra yet. Trust me..I was the size of second grader.

Hello, James. I am a really patient and relaxed person. Nobody can get me nervous. I have this control over myself, I can stay calm when everybody is going insane. However, when I was in the 7th grade, I didn't have such a control... And I got into a fist fight. The guy was bigger than me, but I wasn't afraid. I was sitting in my chair, in the middle of the class, and he knocked my chair down, making me fall. I got up and told him to stop doing that. I sat. He came and did it again, and there I was: in the floor. I told him to stop once more. On the third time he came, he crouched to pull my chair's leg, and then I just turned and held his head. I got him up by pulling him by the hair, carried him to the desk in the end of the class, and tried to throw his head against the desk. Man, I was furious. He was strong, though, because he managed to stop it before his head hit the desk. I tried it again, but the same happened. And again, but he still could avoid it. Then he just got out and all I could see were things spinning, lol. It was fun, I heard people saying things I couldn't understand and things were spinning. I could barely see the light coming from windows, it spinned so fast. Then I just remember somebody held me, and I was all beaten. LOL Now, I can control myself. But there are times when I don't want to. Still, I try to avoid fighting. It's not something that I regret doing, because the guy stopped making any kind of stupid jokes with me. He started respecting me, even though I was beaten, lol. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I am 49 years old and being a girl might make a difference but I have been hit, you know I guy but never actually in a fight.

No James72. Never I had a fight with my friend physically. If we are agree we girls never go for physicl fight,but instead we never talk each other. We stop talking for months also. At that time we feel very awkerdness and somefriend come and make us to talk. After marriage we husband and wife use to quarrel each other even I got hit from my husband. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

I did if before when i was still young around 8 to 11 years old. I and my brother usually fight in pity things physically even if am a girl i always fight back for i am his elder. I was so immature that time and i get angry easily. Now i can laugh at it when i recall those things. I am glad that it didnt happen again decades ago. We are close friend now and we have common friends too . We still have some pity arguement but it does not lead to physical fight anymore for he so big for me.lol. I think we are mature already an we can handle now our differences. And sometimes we play computer games together and infact he is the one who intruduce mylot site. I am happy i have a brother like him for he is always there to help me when i need help especially about computers for he is an expert.

You bring up a interesting question. I think it probably has to do with the fact that some people are just more agressive and confrontational than others. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Luckily I have never been in a physical fight with anyone and I can only remember seeing one physical fight and I was at a very safe distance. Now unfortunately I could go nose to nose with the best with my mouth! LOL It's more of a man thing anyway. A lot of times men fight to make a statement or claim something but women..... they go for the juglar! Have good day!
