I honestly think in the scenario you described where a man sees two women fighting, the man would choose whichever woman he found more physically attractive regardless of who won the fight, and would therefore choose the winner and loser about 50% of the time. I may be wrong but as a man I don't think my sense of attraction to a woman would be increased at all by her being a victim. For sure, the damsel in distress is a trope for a reason, and men are attracted to that, but I think that is because men are likely to see the situation as an opportunity, rather than the woman being elevated in her desirability. In the scenario you described, both women were openly expressing desire for the man already.

The chick at the window of the car, screaming out, 'You wanna cheat on me?!' She just got caught cheating and she has been locked out, she now increases her volume to dramatic decibels, this initiates a white knight sonar system. People in the facility now hear a woman screaming, they dial into the screaming and hear 'CHEAT ON ME' this is a classic tactic to tip the immediate area into auto siding with the woman, everyone now thinks 'ohh he's in trouble' in reality she got caught and flipped it on to him, the exact thing he caught her doing is now being used against him to alert white knights to enquire what's wrong, the she lights him up as the bad guy. I've had this happen to me and see it often enough to know what it is when I'm seeing. Classic deflection and gaslighting.

[@wolfgangpagel6989]

Just walk away. In that very moment it is over and the worst thing for her is that she does not get any reaction. She cannot flip anything. Go no contact, throw her out, block her, anything possible.

​@@wolfgangpagel6989 She most certainly can flip everything. She can say the man was violent, and everyone she knows will believe her. My ex hit me and threw things at me for years. I never once retaliated or did anything physical towards her. But even after years of watching her physically abused me, a lot of her friends, and even my own step daughter believe I'm the violent one, just because my ex said so.

@@wolfgangpagel6989 It was probably over for him long ago, to be the way he was says it all, she ain't even worth eye contact anymore to him. He has switched off for exhaustion and has probably already prepared himself for her further wrath, because it probably ain't over at all and he is batting down the hatches. You think it's a breath of fresh air that you got rid of the thing but really you know she won't stop until blood is spilled. It used to be women planning their escape from partners, now men need to be way more strategic when calling it off because that merely starts them off because they know they just lost all control. Once they know they have gone too far, they can't handle it and will deadset stop at nothing to try and ruin everything about you. Very few times have I seen woman actually cope with a relationship ending without them knowing it. If they are blindsided by your manoeuvre, watch out. That's the worst, planning something big around them without them knowing. Their heads implode.

Domestic violence and sexual herrasemnt done by woman are the crimes with the absulute highest dark figure of all crimes. At my internship at the DA to become a german lawyer i learned, that nearly no men files reprts for several reasons. Shame, fear to loose the kids, no one will believe them, showing even more weakness etc.. Many men arent even able to hit a woman. As stronger themen was a as boy as more likely he is mentaly blocked to harm a woman. In this way they are kind of brainwashed. Every one who is intrested in that topic should go to the next police office and speak with a female police officer. You should ask her how often they are called to a house or appartment and they clearly see a sceene where the women were abusing and violent towards men, and how often those men file a report. I did years ago and i was super surprised what they had to tell me.

My coworker responded, "no I think they're just friends." My boss replied, "oh, I thought Mike was hitting that." Another time, I was working as an outreach worker. My team were absent that day. You can't go out alone. They sent me out with the administrative assistant who was a woman. We were stopped at a red light. In front of us was a guy on a motorcycle with his girlfriend on the back. My coworker looked at me and said, "is that girl's ass turning you on? Because if it is, you should see my ass. It's better." (she was engaged).

I didn't talk to him for several years after that and she expressed several times to other people she was sorry for overreacting, apparently 'not knowing' what was gonna happen. 😂 But I know and other people know as well it was just a BS act, she knew exactly what she was doing. I still blame him more than her, he knew her less than a year at that point and he knew me more than 25 years. He should've known better but I realized he either has a deep seated resentment and jealousy toward me for being a better person or simply never loved me as a brother. Whatever it is, I learned a lot about both of them that day and I never let my guard down since. Sadly for them, I'll never be more than platonic around them and I'll never ever think of them as family, only their 2 boys that I love. Women really don't think straight for 2 seconds when they feel in control, do they? They just want to exercise their power no matter who gets hurt. That's why, if I ever get married, I'll let my wife know right off the bat I won't be her striking pin and that I'll hold her accountable for her own words and actions.

How about this: Don't hit other people unless you're forced to defend another or yourself. With that said, all bullies operate in the same manner. They start small and test for boundaries. A poke, followed by a nudge, followed by a push, followed by a shove, etc. One effective tactic against this is to return every act in the same measure. They poke, you poke back. They nudge, you nudge back. 3 strikes form a pattern and from there on they know: If they punch, you will punch back. Since most bullies are cowards who crave power-abuse free of consequences once you establish that their every act will be paid back their intent to play games with you will drastically diminish.

A great deal of women's boldness and "strength" aka passive aggressive and openly aggressive behavior towards men only exists because they know they are protected by the law.

[@rapsack7058]

IT is not law that protect them. It also is how we, the society, deal with emoutional out bursts of women. Whena boy has an emotional out burst or even get violent, he gets no sympathy, ghe gets called out and even punished for it. When a girl has the same emotional out burst, she can expect in many cases sympathy, attention, and many look who was the person who was causing this outburst. We accept that women are more "emotional". They learn from early age on they are allowed to be emotional. And when they are agressive and angry etc.. then we automaticaly look for the person who made them angry and agressive. It is not the woman who is at fault but the other person. BTW, the law it self is writen neutral and is not in favour of women. BUT how we interpretate it, is in favour of women. And men nearly never file any offical report, when they are victims of womans agression and physical abuse.

I used to get abused by my now ex-wife. She would try to get me to hit her. When I finally realised it was domestic violence and was encouraged to report it to the police. They pretty much laughed at me and asked what I did to deserve it and refused to record any details. The third attempt to report to police worked. Nothing happened of course, just straight back to those tasty Australian Doughnuts. And yes, those disregulated types sure ruin things for the high quality women out there

[@rapsack7058]

I totaly agree, we have prity much established double standards for men and women. I had this topic, when i made my internship at the district atterney in germany to become a lawyer. The DA, a woman, explained me that from her experience and observation it starts that we dont expect from girls/women the same control of emotions as from boys/men. A girl that shows emotional outburst very often can expect attention and even support. A boy with an emotional outburst can expect to be called out for if not punished. That lead to the situation, that we accept womens emotional out burst as normal and look for the reason by others that cuased that out burst and not by the women it self. Thats why you as a victim get no sympathy. Often enough you are seen as the person who is responsible for her out burst, you are not a victim but the perpretator.

I see alot of this in Australia, it seems like yall have a very radical liberal goverment over there, especially when it pretains to the issue of abuse. I spoke to a few aussie women about jhonny depps case, they were so Alethephobic to the idea that Jhonny Depp was ever abused by Amber heard in any regard. She spoke alot about her abuse. And when i told her about mine, she then proceeded to berate me for crying about it. Even though i used my expirence as an example to the argument we were having. Its actually digusting how much side eye this gets. Its depressing and demoralizing to witness such recentful apathy, and open sexism about the issue. Ive seen it here too..quite alot here in america. But this woman was jaded that I had the gall to suggest a woman could ever be abusive. It was like speaking to a true narcisist. I dont have any other way to describe it. At least nothing else kindly written to explain the encounter.

Women are evolved within the context of the group. Men are evolved more individualistically. Women fight in battles of control over the group. Men fight men, and the environment. So men attack men directly, but women attack the social connections of their enemy. They want to turn the group against the person. So they attack reputation. They don't attack directly, because that's dangerous. They attack indirectly, because their aim is to make the group do their dirty work for them. Secrets obtained or bartered for are their preferred economy. Which is why they love gossip. It's also why they pretend to be friends with their enemies -- to try to get dirt on them.

I admit to rewatching some of those videos where cops deck women who hit them. Is it cathartic to see the natural orderer restored or just gratuitous? It does feel good to know that I'd never let a woman physically abuse me, but I'd also be long gone before it came to physical violence.

[@anthonyzullo]

If I feel like a woman needs to be hit to correct her behavior, I just don't be around that. I have a lot of experience with women so I have a lot of self developed tactics to figure a woman out very quickly. Most women don't deal with men with such deeper levels of understanding from them, so they expect most men they talk to to be ignorant to women's tactics. I'll find out on the first outing who a woman really is and because I'm autistic and my super power is patterns, a humans behavior is pretty easy to see for me. A lot of women I've slept with became very aggressive towards me when they realize they cannot manipulate or lie to me like they can other men. Women REALLY dislike men that cannot be manipulated by them, no matter who the man is, 99% or top 1% a woman will despise you if she cannot manipulate you.

A very subtle strategy is when a woman uses as an argument the statements "that's what's normal" or "that's what everybody does". Not only she avoids responsibility for what she wants, she calls you "abnormal" for not giving it to her. She tries to use the rest of the world as her advocate without asking anybody and puts you in a position where you have to disprove something unfalsifiable. The correct answer of course is "what does the rest of the world have to do with the two of us?".

Perhaps I should have provided more background before posting this comment. Especially since I’m not sure if you are a native English speaker or not.

It implies that the person speaking is overly asserting their innocence, which means the person speaking is not as innocent as they are trying to portray themselves. By posting this quote, I’m implying that you are most likely not as innocent as you are trying to convince us readers that you are. Especially since you are watching and commenting on videos that reference domestic violence. You may have been able to have the charge dismissed - but I’m sure you did something.

[@Snarge22]

You are right@@funnyengineer41. I misunderstood your quote. You now come across as a sexist bigot in automatically defaulting to the innocence of women when in actuality both parties tend to beat on each other in domestic violence situations. For more clarification I'll add a bit of context; my now ex wife is Manic-Depressive/BiPolar. I filed for divorce due to recognizing that another 20 years with her would have left me a mental wreck. It got to be like living with an abusive alcoholic. She filed the domestic violence charge,... ...at the insistence of her lawyer over a month after I served her the divorce summons. The saving grace was in her statement she said she filed the complaint at the insistence of her lawyer. Outdoorbikeguy, you need to re-evaluate your position as a white knight and hold women to the same level of accountability as you do men.

This person no doubt watches countless hours of videos to reaffirm his world view that women are the problem and he is but a victim.

If this happens in any dodgy place I know what to do - I call the police as she hits me (usually it is quite very easy to do so when hit by a woman - it is also good because they can hear her in the background beating me). I tell them I am being violently attacked by a crazy woman in this address, adding "please come" and stipulating that "at this point I am forced to defend myself and it is going to get nasty". They will come. For sure. Trust me, I have done this with the German police of all polices.... I was attacked in my car by an old German guy who blocked by exit from my parking (not a thug, LOL! Oh no! A rich grandpa who attacked me for no reason, just because I am Greek I guess, this outside a kindergarten on the posh side of the town - he was a grandpa of one of the kids). I called the police telling them that I am in my car, I have my 2 year old daughter and my nanny and a crazy old guy attacks us banging my car. Please sent a police car or if you can't sent one, just call directly an ambulance (i.e. to pick up the old guy after I would had beaten him up....)". Trust me, in 3 minutes they were there!!!!

She then began cussing him out while he sat there stunned. He never defended himself. My brother was at a dance and he arrived with a rather attractive girl as his date. A friend of his (Brian) was impressed with my brother's date and gave my brother a thumbs up. Brian's date saw that and slapped him so hard that it knocked the gum out of his mouth.

Right from the start reciprocreate physical escalation playfully. Poking, nudging, pushing. Also make sure to laugh at them when they physically escalate, thus they realize their physical inferiority. Last but not least, ALWAYS dominate in the bedroom conveying your physical superiority by pinning her down/to the wall, restricting movement, holding her wrists, slapping, choking, lifting her up and throwing her down, being in comand, etc. - dominance in the bedroom will lead to dominance in the relationship and vice-versa with a lack of dominance. Actions have to lead to consequences all the way to bdsm if you like. She'll thank you for it. People need boundaries! And if all else fails - record on video (for legal purposes) and remove her from your life immediately and permanently - there is no need to tolerante such behavoir.
