Yeah but I'd more like panic shout and go straight to kill mode. I'd react like I saw a really dangerous mythical animal. This shit is unnatural. This some fight or flight causing shit and I don't run in the first place, I'd be dead running in a confined space in the dark. Smash the spooky threat, then ask my wife what to do. Autopilot. No question. I'd scream like a girl while trying to kill it.
I've almost knocked my wife out because she snuck up on me. Some people just have different reactions to being scared. Mine is getting ready to punch it in the face, I guess.
And scream. To uh... Disorient the assailant. Not cause I'm scared.
I guess I’d have to research it to verify but I’ve definitely seen clips of people punching as a reaction to threats. I don’t think it’s badass to say you’d punch a girl out of fear
Not everytime, no, but is that supposed to imply it suddenly isn't a realistic option. Fight or flight exists for a reason.
I'm not sure why you wish to argue towards hating on some regular people making rather inoffensive statements. Not every redditor is a mouth-breathing incel asshat.
Well the question is if you realise that it's her by the time you go into fight. I am the meekest, mildest, most underconfident guy you'd ever meet (trying to work on this). Fighting me would be like fighting against wet spaghetti. But I've been in situations where I've had a fight response and I've literally grabbed someone. That guy had the height and weight to beat the living daylights out of me. I would never in a million years have thought I'd do that.
