I have absolutely no desire for Hubby to beat up anyone who insults me. I am perfectly capable of telling the boorish person who does so to go and take a running leap off a very high cliff myself. I am quite happy if Hubby also gave them a lashing of the tongue but I do not believe violence is a sexy attribute in a man.
I personally find it repellent how some people are so eager to get their fists out everytime a perceived insult is hurled at them. Generally speaking morons like those are just as bad as those who find it fun to provoke anger in others.
I don't want Hubby to beat anyone unless I am being physically abused , in which case if it means saving my bacon yes it does become acceptable in my eyes. In any other circumstances I find it more than adequate for him to defend my honour with words , after I have defended my own if possible.
But I prefer a man who walks away from trouble when he can then one who jumps into it feet first at the first provocation.
Men with brains and able to fight back insults with sarcasm and wit are far more sexy than those with big fists. To me anyway.
Any woman who likes a man who fights over her is not a woman but an immature, irresponsible idiot.
Maybe the OP needs to meet more women and less petulant little princesses.
I have not lost a "fight" ( verbal that is) once yet , that I am aware of.
Humiliation is the best revenge and beating up someone who is churlish enough to insult you with a great come-back is incredibly satisfying. Make him/her look like an idiot ( espcially in front of friends) without having to draw blood. That to me has merit.
I never curse so I have to be a lot more creative and controlled than my opponent . Hubby has often told me that often he will wait to see me "explode" over someone who has been rude, disrespectful and obnoxious. It takes a lot to provoke me but when I am done usually the other person realises it was a big mistake.
He always tells me he can see the "signals" ( apparently I start smiling in a special way) and simply stands aside and enjoys the show...
I tend to be far more irate when disrespect has been shown to someone else actually. I tend to regard people who insult you on a whim as irrelevent, pathetic worms and find it often beneath me to even take the bait. It depends on the circumstances but more often than not what will bug someone the most is if you simply walk away and ignore them. Bullies cannot stand to be ignored, the worst thing in the world to them is to show them you could not give a monkey's bare behind about their ill conveived idiotic behaviour.
