Is it ever appropriate to fight someone for your girlfriend if they are being disrespected?

Jennifer put it well when she said this:

Your reaction should match the action.

Some guys turning everything into a verbal confrontation. That's bad. You need to respond with appropriate force.

I recall going to a concert about 8 years ago. I was in the middle of the mosh pit towards the center of the stage. It was jam packed with the most rabid and excited fans. Everyone was there to enjoy the show...except this one guy who though his job was to keep everyone away from his girlfriend. He was made worse by the fact that he was holding to cups of beer over her head. If he didn't want anyone near his girlfriend, he shouldn't have been in the middle of a mosh pit. He was just looking for a fight.

Don't do stuff like that. That isn't defending her honor. That's just being a jerk.

Think about it this way.

  • A harmless joke gets a harmless response

  • A slight offense needs a non-confrontational verbal warning

  • An offensive comment needs a verbal confrontation

  • A physical assault requires you physically remove the person and then call the police
