That’s awesome Matty…I’m the same way with getting out of the way. I like to think of the Sting song Englismen in New York where he says,
“If, “Manners maketh man” as someone said
Then he’s the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile”
and then later: “Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run”
That said, when I first started taking Alpha Male a few years ago, I smashed into a few people that I saw knocking people out of their way in Downtown Wash. DC and then I verbally assaulted a guy that worked at a junk yard that had my totalled mini-van and gave me a hard time on the phone. Felt great.

No no no, if it was simply a bump I would be used to it and would think it comes with the territory, I am sure he purposely rammed into me. I actually dont have a temper at all.[/quote]
Okay. I understand the desire to knock him down but you should realize that you’re huge and no one is gonna take your side of the issue.

hahah. You’re not the only one Matty. I experience it quite a bit too. I try and be nice and slide out of the way so I don’t shoulder check someone but it really is always me seeming to move out of the way. Girls, emo kids, etc. Doesn’t matter. Fucking annoying.

Strangly a lot of old fat hags do that.
I had an almost fatal accident and when I was released from hospital, a good bodycheck could have send me right into the morgue.
I also lost about 15kg then and really could see what stupid rats were surrounding me.
I avoided crowded spaces for months because, especially when you move away to not get bumped, people see, smell, they sense it and think you re weak.
I had the impression they were aiming at me.
Now I am big and strong and I enjoy shoving people around when I see they deserve it.
I am gonna pay those fuckers double of what they did to me.[/quote]
Thats the thing, while I understand that in city streets some bumping is inevitable, the sheer entitlement some people have astounds me.
MattyXL - Nice move. And its got nothing to do with a temper tantrum. I find that alot of times people like that will just keep doing the same shit until they’re called on it. All you did was act before somebody else. I’m not a big guy - well not built like you and the other guys on here but I’m working on it. I guess I hide my size well (6’4" 250 former front row for an international rugby team) so whenever I get physical it always seems to surprise people - they’re like where’d that come from.
I had a similar experience at a rugby game. Every time I went to this pitch there was always this one douchebag (same guy every time) that would walk thru the crowd just pushing people out of the way - you know the guy that wears the ‘tapout’ or ‘have you hugged your hooker’ wannabe tough guy. I had my 9 month old daughter in my arm and my wife said ‘what a jerk’ as he kept doing the same thing as he got closer to us.
I’d had enough - he looked at me as if considering whether he should push me and my daughter out of the way. Before he even had a chance I stiff armed his ass and walked right over top of him much to the delight of those in front and around who’d bullied. It had to be done. So kudos to you for sticking up for those who wouldnt have done it otherwise.
P.S. Sometime I’ll tell you about the Bennigan’s attempted stabbing and ‘rock bottom’ incident

For the record, I am 6’2 275.
PS- Did you ever read up what I told you about?[/quote]
wow! You are a big human!
I did actually and talked to my doc who is aware of the situation, she however wants to try w/o it first and then check back in 4 weeks. I appreciate the heads up man.

I have always been told to never underestimate someone and that there is always someone tougher, and I have gotten my ass kicked enough times as a youngster to know this!

First, does the Pedo Bear ever catch the girl? Cause I just watched for 15 min and I’m not sure how long the loop is.
Second, Matty did the right thing. Go ahead, work in mid-town Manhattan for a few years then get back to me on how enraging it is to be constantly dodging inconsiderate and distracted assholes. You bet that fucker he laid out will be a little more careful and respectful negotiating through human traffic from now on.
One more jackass off the sidewalks.

exactly, I always feel bad for the tourists who have no clue whats in for them, at around say 5pm.
I hate people like that too. I really do go out of my way for people and be respectful and courteous, and you would think that that same level of courtesy would be reciprocated right back to you - but it never is. And don’t even get me started on the fucking roads out here! For fucks sake, everyone out here drives like it’s a fuckin’ death race 2100!
Anyway. Most people really do have an extremely over-inflated sense of self-worth and it sucks to be the courteous one out of a sea of egocentric jerks. I still wouldn’t intentionally bump into someone though. I tend to avoid confrontations, and a lot of the people around here carry guns on them. I wouldn’t be surprised if I were to bump into someone and have everyone in a 20 foot radius pull a gun on me and accuse me of assault.
If you are feeling giddy one afternoon, go to your mall and start bowing to people as they pass you by. Throw in a “Your MAJESTY!” for X-tra chuckles. The reactions you get from most people are hilarious.
I’m really at a loss for words about what just transpired between nards and celtics …
Celtics you really went out of your way to make an audio response to a silly comment someone made about whether or not you have a speech impedement? Wow. New level. You just reached it. Wow.

Thats awesome im gonna try that passive agressive maneuver
MXL, you did something most people would avoid doing. I commend you for that. Just looking at your avatar, one can see you are a large individual. The fact that you recognize your size and go out of your way to avoid busting through people speaks volumes about your character. Something a lot of people lack, these days.
I pretty much do the same (5’10, 250), however, there comes a time when enough is enough. NYC is definitely a place where you can easily reach that point. As for the “tough guys” who feel the need to exert themselves on those weaker…yeah…I enjoy them. The several I’ve encountered usually rated anything from an eye-fuck to me stopping them in their tracks and “educating” them about the error of their ways. Good times.
Celtics…the fact that you took the time to craft an audio response to Nards’s comment speaks rather loudly of your mental/social instability and narcissistic nature. You need some help.
