Who would be the bigger man in an argument that could/ would lead up to a fight...the man who walks away from the fight (if such an option is possible), or the man who has the last swing?

Who would be the bigger man in an argument that could/ would lead up to a fight...the man who walks away from the fight (if such an option is possible), or the man who has the last swing?

The man who makes the most money from the bets.

The man who's...bigger. Physically. Laws of physics, man.

Be happy I didn't go straight for the penis jokes!

Back on topic...

The one who walks away.Unless he started it.

The man who can walk under his own power after the fight is over.

the one who walks away before it starts

the one who walks away before it starts
Again...unless he instigated it. Then walking away is just kind of silly.

but if he started it, walking away would annoy the other guy :D

Depends entirely on the circumstances.

The bigger man is the one who can sing the entirety of the Varyag whilst dodging blows from his opponent.

but if he started it, walking away would annoy the other guy :D
That is true...wicked tactics...!

I reckon the bigger man is the one who's right in the argument.

Or possibly the one who can convince the other man he's right, and thus the need to fight never arises

Who would be the bigger man in an argument that could/ would lead up to a fight...the man who walks away from the fight (if such an option is possible), or the man who has the last swing?

The truly bigger man would be the one who tries to walk away, gets attacked from behind, and still manages to disable his opponent easily so he can go home and play NS. :D

Obviously the bigger man is the one who boasts about it most latter...

It's conditional- no, really, it is.
It depends on what the fight is about, and what walking away, or staying to finish, will do in the long run.

Further, there are times when you can't just walk away-if walking means someone else (a third party) gets hurt, you don't walk, you finish. If walking away means the other guy is just going to come after you, you finish it then and there.
If it's over some petty bullshit (Pride, ego, "Macho posturing"), walk away. If it's got substance, don't.
Being called a "Wuss" (or "Bitch" or some other dirty name) isn't grounds for throwing down. You can survive insulting names. OTOH, letting some dude beat the living shit out of his girlfriend/kids/someone else sometimes demands that you stand your ground and fight.

The bigger man is the one who's outnumbered, but knows his fight is a just one and so fights anyway.

This does make him an idiot unfortunatly, but he's the bigger idiot.

The man that doesn't start the fight.

Who's the bigger man?

I'm more hungry than I am in need of a laugh. :mp5:

Just in case it's not clear...I know you're joking, and I'm joking in response to your joke, and my feigned seriousness happens also to be part of that joke, so don't take my fake seriousness too seriously, or the joke will just fall apart and turn into potted meat product.

Ok, I'm going to set the record straight (hahaha!) once and for all.

I was born female. I'm still female. My female bits work. I'm gendered female. I am not a male. I am not gendered male. If that changes, I'll let you know. You're still not getting a picture, and even if you did, there is no guarantee that a) it would really be me and b) that you would even believe it was really me.

So there. fuckers:)

Edit: sorry, upon rereading, the bolded part made me giggle.

That's okay. Whenever I talk to you now, I will have this funny image of myself as a man in drag, and it will colour all of our conversations. That alone is worth the misunderstanding!

I don't know WHO told you about that old porn movie I starred in, but despite your concerted efforts to get me to 'expose it', and as clever as this particular gambit is, I assure you that the movie in question will remain locked in a vault under the ocean until the world is destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.

And just remember... the image is of me in a japanese tea dress with mid-back length blonde hair. :D

A-ha, you just proved you are a freak.

HAHA! I just re read your original message... an image of YOU as a man in drag... not me. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:
