The thing people have yet to learn is nobody gives you power. You just take it.

Lesson learned: get your own apartment

Aweshocked · 2016-02-28T17:40:32+00:00

I was talking to this girl once. Then these guys starting making fun of me, I ignored them twice, the third time I stood up, went to the guy face and told him to say it again. He was fucking scared shitless, then he said sorry, after that the girl I was talking to wouldn't stfu about how sexy I was for scaring them.

MonkeyDFreecs · 2016-02-28T21:52:41+00:00

I think it is the situation you're in as well. If you yelled "Shut the fuck up, before I beat the shit out of you" in public people will see you as trashy and the bad guy. Your voice matters too, some guys naturally have more intimidating voices so it would sound like you're going to kill the person, and the voice scares everyone.

Do you have self control? How often do you do it? What situations do you act like that? As you'll be seen as unstable if you go off like that all the time, no one would want to be around you, your girl wouldn't find it sexy as she would find it scary because she would fear you would snap on her like that eventually. You're like a borderline wife beater. People may not take you seriously anymore when you do get angry as they'll find you to be predictable. I easily tune out loud guys that try to intimidate me by shouting.

What do you look like and the person you're around look like. You'd be instantly in the wrong if the person is a female, significantly younger/older than you, or clearly disabled. I had a person revile me because I scared their kid even though I was just minding my own business. Why? Because I'm much bigger than the kid and she found me a lot scarier even though I'd never touch someone unless I had to. Because the kid is weaker and seen as more innocent I'm instantly the bad guy I was 15 at the time too. Just like that college football player that got in huge trouble for hitting a girl in a bar even though she was constantly hitting him first.

What type of person are you doing this to? Would you try it with your boss or anyone that has higher social status? What if the guy is more alpha than you? Is the person just as strong as you or stronger. Do they have a weapon? Do they know martial arts? Are they crazy and have no boundaries on what they'll do? Are they good at manipulating people? Do you think they won't get police or others involved?

Race also matters a lot. I'm pretty sure if a big muscular Black or Brown Latino guy said what you said the cops would of came most likely came instantly. I don't think anyone would take an Asian guy seriously unless he was muscular and knew martial arts. As a Black guy some people find me scary by default, and getting angry or just having a moody face makes people think I'm going to do something really bad.

Environment matters a lot, if you said this in the ghetto, you better be prepared to do something worse than the threat you said as they won't back down so easily. I'm from the ghetto and people would try to beat the shit out of you just for your tone of voice. They're also find no shame in bringing a group to attack you. I grew up around this so I'd rather be disrespected than to make an enemy that could possibly kill me and anyone I know.

Lifting won't make you a better fighter. Learn a martial art like muay thai or bjj to improve confidence (knowing you could easily beat the shit out of anyone gives you a great ego boost).

[deleted] · 2016-02-29T02:16:42+00:00

"sometimes violence is the answer." In a society which has become so soft and pc, I can't agree with you more.

arul20 · 2016-02-28T20:46:43+00:00

If you're ugly/low social standing you don't get rewarded for this kind of behavior. It's just a creepy beta-tantrum in that case.

jerkMEthenMERKme · 2016-02-29T00:21:52+00:00

We were hanging out drinking some beers in my room, just having a good time. It’d been a long day and rough week for all of us. Circled around the computer, we couldn’t help but laugh at some Patrice O’neal. Goddamn that guy was funny. We tried to keep it quiet, my roommate had a girl over was trying to sleep, and he’d already asked twice for us to keep it down. We were buzzed, having a good time. We understood where he was coming from, but….Oh…My…Fuck he’s hilarious. We couldn’t help but erupting in laughter at this one video….

'BANGBANGBANG'

Did he just bang on the wa—?

“OH MY FREAKING GAWD YOU GUYS KEEP IT DOWN OR I’M GONNA KICK ME SOME BUTTS!!!”

Alpha or Beta?

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent.” ~Salvor Hardin, Foundation, Isaac Asimov

Threatening violence is not alpha. If someone slights you, its like a shit test. When dealing with men, or groups, sometimes compromise is necessary. Going nuclear is rarely the right way to handle the situation, and makes you look childish.

4juice · 2016-02-28T21:07:10+00:00

Quick question, how should i handle it if the other room continues to make noise even after i threatened them with violence? Should i really go over to the next room and beat the shit out of them or? Isnt that 'losing frame' ?

KinkyAstronaut · 2016-02-28T17:17:17+00:00

The main problem is that lifting is easy but bulking is not, and what imitates people is a big man.

greatslyfer · 2016-02-29T04:14:57+00:00

Fuck those disrespectful noisy flatmates. Had to deal with a few of them in my last year of uni, stressful period.

untonyto · 2016-02-28T19:20:14+00:00

Will it count if I thump my chest on your behalf?

greatmikeshark · 2016-02-29T01:32:59+00:00

And if he didn't "shut the fuck up" as you put it, would you have bet the shit out of him? I doubt it.

exoduslife · 2016-02-28T17:42:46+00:00

banged the side of my wall

That is seriously bad ass.

for intimidation

If you did intimidate your roommates they wouldn't have disturbed your recovery time.

DforDeadpool · 2016-02-28T19:29:14+00:00

Being intimidating is good. Some people have it and I guess I'm one of those people. I like to stare to intimidate and life becomes easier.

I like how you handled the situation. Just right.

Zoomaflog · 2016-02-29T00:08:45+00:00

Wow, you're a little bitch

gopher_glitz · 2016-02-29T02:47:46+00:00

This only works of you can make good on the threats.

menial_optimist · 2016-02-29T05:46:46+00:00

This only works if you are confident enough that you could reasonably win in a fight against them. If you know for a fact that you cannot, and they know it, nothing you do physically will have an impact. Therefore in the same situation, I would be powerless in all respects.

concerned_thirdparty · 2016-02-29T06:18:50+00:00

Or train instead of lift. so if the time comes to fight. Physical advantage or not. You win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL3VzjcptBI

aanarchist · 2016-02-29T17:18:01+00:00

how do you build intimidation factor as a shorter man? I'm 5'5 with a slim frame, me on steroids would be 150 lbs max, i don't exactly inspire fear in guys who are 5'10 that could easily pick me up. do i have to learn more towards psychological manipulation and having high status in the group?

This is pretty much prison (aka the real jungle) rule #101.

UniversalFapture · 2016-02-29T22:57:12+00:00

Sooo... What happens when you lose said fight?

Lucifer0999 · 2016-03-01T11:01:33+00:00

Getting into a fight to impress a plate just screams insecurity to me. Surely if you have to resort to such things you're doing something wrong.

mksu · 2016-03-01T16:45:58+00:00

If they had called your bluff you would look pretty pathetic. Which they should have, since you probably wouldn't even touch them.

Neuro_Skeptic · 2016-03-02T21:58:28+00:00

I'm not sure if it's more pathetic if you made up this story, or if it really happened.

masnera · 2016-02-29T04:02:02+00:00

-Sometimes violence is the answer

or a threat of violence, either way...that wouldn't work if the one doing the threatening is incapable (fat, looks like a wimp)

NecroticFury · 2016-02-28T19:48:47+00:00

lifting doesnt give you a fighting advantage, bro.

Alpacash · 2016-02-28T21:15:42+00:00

A young, skinny junkie-looking guy once asked me for a lighter as I was walking down the street. When I told him "Sorry, I don't smoke," he called me a pussy. I yelled and told him to watch himself, and we were about to fight. He then starts crying in front of me, and that's when I realized he was on drugs and walked away.

Had this happened pre-TRP, I would have just walked away all butthurt with regret for not standing up for myself. After the altercation, my body felt a rush of hyper masculinity. It was an awesome feeling.

donkey_democrat · 2016-02-28T19:36:19+00:00

This....this sounds so random. I know girls like the small things guys do, but banging on a wall arouses women?

Wat.....

Thorgim · 2016-02-29T01:17:23+00:00

Why do you call a chick a plate? Never heard that before.
