But then you tried to one up her by saying she needs to be humbled. Not a good way to solve conflicts in relationships.

Why not just say, “that makes me feel like you are attacking my manhood”. She probably would have apologized.
Lol... if that’s attacking the OP’s manhood... he’s not acquired his manhood yet.

If the OP is worried and questioning his manhood because his girlfriend implied she could beat him up, I think he should be questioning his manhood that he's so worried and shaken by this at all.

There's another way to look at this relationship. He agrees with her tough attitude. But then when there are strange noises at night, she is the one who gets out of bed to "check it out". She can then take out the trash and do all the other tough jobs around the house.

Lol. Tell her to start laying punches on your midsection. Brush it off like it's nothing and her ego will deflate, but she will also think you're a beast.

However, in order for this to work, your abs have to feel like a brick wall.

Be careful though....seems to me that YOU might be the one whose humbled....maybe that's got something to do with your being pissed....can't understand why though....unless you're one of those guys that like their women weak and docile.

Yea, being pissed about this seems odd to me as well. Especially with someone you're in a relationship with. It's certainly not something I would spend any time sweating over. But like you said, it could be kinda fun. Seems to me if someone is actually spending energy stressing over such an ....issue.. there's sorta a complex going on.


Personally I wouldn't spend any time worrying about it.

What's even sadder is the OP challenged her to grappling because he has experience in that area.

Face it, OP, she challenged your worldview (of male superiority) and now you are trying to block out being demasculated by your gf. That is hilarious!

I worked in a prison where the self-defense instructor was female. She handled her business against all the alpha males.

I would like to hear the outcome of your battle. That is if you can type afterwards.

Her comment about the other boyfriends was provocative and uncalled for, but could still be true. Physical strength isn't the be-all end-all. Being raised by a marine in a house full of boys made me pretty capable of holding my own against a lot of guys, not that I went around trying to prove it.

Or she could kick his ass by calling cops and playing the damsel... The cops take the guy away most of the time

Physical strength isn't needed these days
