Little Man Syndrome

I think we are all agreed that both a lion and a tiger and a grizzly would all get their ass kicked by bruce lee

Polar bears are very fierce, they are the biggest and meanest predator, and live in a place where they don’t have much opposition. also they attack whales. Polar bears are the only creature the SAS book says do NOT attack under any circumstances (ie, don’t you attack them.)

so my money would be on the polar bear.

i would have thought a tiger would beat a lion though, who knows though, animals are funny.

as posted elsewhere, a tuna can beat a sardine most of the time

lol

I’m so tired of it. It’s ultra Lame!

Anyone remember Ultra Man?

I killed a polar bear barehanded once. Just to watch him die.

There’s a show on the Discovery channel that “pits” various animals against each other using computer animation and other techniques to see who would win in a fight.

They had a polar bear against the walrus, and the walrus won, especially if taken to the water.

I can’t remember the name of the show, as I’ve only seen it once or twice, but it’s pretty cool. They probably have done the Lion vs. Bear thing too.

Lions would kill tigers for sure. Lions fight all the time, they have to defend their territory and their females. Its one male lion and his bitches.

tigers are solitary creatures who like to ambush and kill their prey. Lions are much more powerful than tigers when it comes to fighting and have and have fighting in their behavior and genes. Lions all the way. just look at the size of their prey. lions take down much larger prey.

grizzly vs polar bear…depends. average of both species, it goes to polar bear. biggest of both…gotta give it to the grizzly. those things get humongous.

silver back gorilla vs. bear…that would be cool.

Its even stupider because most guys don’t fucking fight on a regular basis. Hell, I think most guys have probably never been in a fight after eigth grade. So what the fuck does it matter?

Being a big guy has two sides. While sometimes it may deter physical violence, if violence is imminent, and you’re the biggest dude standing around, you can garauntee anyone with half a brain is going to get a couple guys on you right away.

But we’ve all been in so many barfights around here that the big guys throw people through walls, while the little guys jump on the bar using pool sticks as bows and knock everyone else out (Bruce Lee style).

Sure.[/quote]

I would imagine that the only issue being a big guy would be to overestimate your abilities in a fight. In other words, just thinking that because you are bigger and stronger that will matter if someone doesn’t play fair, is a lot faster than you, etc…

This situation seems odd as my experience has been that the big guys have been the ones starting shit because they are over confident and probably just assholes.

I personally try and stay out of fights as I don’t have anything to prove and it is never worth it. Not to mention the legal complication that follow.

Most bouncers would disagree with you. Any problems I have had have always come from smaller guys. That is all one guy who I train with (who is a bouncer for a local club at 270lbs at 6’1") talks about. The only guys that challenge seem to be people who should know they don’t have a chance. It is like they are trying to prove themselves, or perhaps they actually believe some of the idiots here who claim skinny guys are all so “relatively strong”.

5’6" isnt short for a girl, but it is pretty short for a guy

i dont really think short man syndrome exists once you control for asshole syndrome

one of the toughest guys i ever trained with was 5’7" and 190lbs

so short guys can be pretty tough, but i cant imagine starting a fight with a guy that outweighed me by more than a benjamin

so, if we perform a multiple hierarchical regression on asshole syndrome, 72% of the variance is explained by this. 50% of the remaining variance is explained by alcohol, and 14% of the remainder is regressed out by dick size…

How about Bruce Lee vs. a bear?

This thread has spiraled into stupidity.

When I bounced it was never the small guys that gave us trouble. It was usually my fellow teammates (football team) that gave us trouble cause they thought that since football players were bouncing, they wouldn’t get in trouble. I guess it could be explained by the smaller people just having something to prove. But I still don’t get it.

You aren’t ‘baffled’ you do ‘get it’.

You merely wanted an excuse to exclaim to the world that you ‘choke-slammed’ someone.

Some people refer to the koala as a koala bear?this is technically incorrect, since koalas are not part of the bear family. The word “koala” comes from an Aboriginal word meaning “does not drink.”

My money is on the Rhino! Those are some BAD-A MF-ers!

I still think a Grizzly could kick some serious lion ass.

Lions are pussies (ooooooaaah).

Just to bring a dose of sanity back to this post, and tie it back into the topic, How about a mongoose vs a bear? Polar, Grizzly, I don’t give a fuck, those little mongeese are fast! Liable to run right up the bear’s body and eat it’s friggen eyes out before it knows what the hell is going on. Still, fast as they are, Bruce Lee might be able to take one of the bastards down. Maybe.

How about…

Bruce Lee vs Chuck Norris

Bruce lee is dead. By contrast…

Chuck Norris is 1/8th Cherokee. This has nothing to do with ancestry, the man ate a fucking Indian.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is based on a true story: Chuck Norris once swallowed a turtle whole, and when he crapped it out, the turtle was six feet tall and had learned karate.

Chuck Norris eats beef jerky and craps gunpowder. Then, he uses that gunpowder to make a bullet, which he uses to kill a cow and make more beef jerky. Some people refer to this as the “Circle of Life.”

The prosecution rests.

Alright… Mongoose/Bruce Lee tag team vs. Chuck Norris/Badger tag team?

I’d hate to have much money wagered either way.

The event of the year IMO.

Why does a thread like this garner this much attention, yet one I posted regarding some help in keeping my liver healthy gets no love?

This site has turned into one that helps the females, flames the guys and spends time on nonsense topics.

Although I used my own as an example, I could have chosen many other subjects worthy of more consideration than given.
