Too Thin to Throw a Punch?

babybro said:
actually it's very possible for a thin woman to punch out a dude. There was this youtube video I saw a while back, in which this gynmast was like 95 pounds, and this big buff guy tells her to hit him anywhere one time, he could take it, and wam, tko.

Being stronger has nothing to do with it, no matter how strong you are, one good hit at the right spot will lay you out cold. Here is the video.

Anyone has a punchers chance, but a punch and a fight are two different things. In mutual combat between two able body people, a man will probably win 98% of the fights. It's not sexism or anything like that, it's just biological reality. That is the reason domestic violence laws favor women over men.

But having said that, there is always an exception.

I agree, unless there are weapons involved which can even it up, but yeah...most women in movies don't look like they could beat up their grandfathers, let alone a young, fit, combat trained villian.

Yeah, that has always seemed like too much to me. I like petite women but, not unhealthy petite women. I remember when a size ten was considered thin, now they have double zero? wow!

In the article they talked about Angelina Jolie. She looked way hotter in tomb raider at that size, than in Salt. (although she still looks hot either way).

The actress who played Allie McBeal (Calista Flockhart) looked real good when she played that role. I thought she looked so good in those dress suites with those short skirts. She was just right - to me - and then she lost a lot of weight and looked almost anorexic. I remember Bill Maher saying that this is what men really liked and, I thought to myself "speak for yourself idiot"

I don't think a size 10 was ever considered thin. Just saying.
However, sizes have become larger so a size 4, 10 years ago is not the same as it is today.

When they started the series Nikita earlier this year (or was it last year??) I was always wondering how it was believable that the 98lb woman could kick ass w men 3 times her size.....

Women generally lack the blood lust to want to fuck somebody up. You rarely hear about female prison riots, and those are the roughest bitches in any society.

I would have to somewhat disagree.

Maybe I slightly misinterpreted your statement but I think a great deal of women have that 'crazy-ass psychotic WTF are you doin bitch' in them but don't act on it in the same manner men do when angry. They're more catty with words and passive or aggressive non-physical behavior.

Their sizing has gotta be different to ours, I don't get this thread at all. WTF is a size 0? Smallest size I've ever seen in Australia is 6 and that's crazy tiny.

I hope it's different, or else they're all insane and need therapy! :smt043 10 is very small and 6 is tiny (and it's the smallest I've seen too).

My sis in law from the USA, is a size 0 there and here she is a 4, which she can not find anywhere here... Unless you go to places like Chanel or other top of the shelf lables. She is very small, did I say small, I mean smmmmallllllll....

So I would think that a six is a size 2 equivalent...

I think when it gets to sizes that small, it's gotta have more to do with body structure than fat...?

Also I hate to mention, the lucky gal can eat whatever she wants as much as she wants and she never puts on weight and never works out.... She is a phenomenon. But she does look like a healthy thin, not a boney one.

So a size 10 here is a size 6 there, maybe? This is confusing. LOL

Well you have to consider that when men want see action we want to see a bad ass dude like Jason Statham or Jet Li or Michael Jai White. There is no female equvilant and if there were it would rob her of her feminity. Remember sexy sells and there's nothing sexy about a manish dude beating everyone up.

You are a very wise person.

Even though I have respect for the female MMA fighter, there is a reason why she don't compete with the men. You have SOME young female recruits who come in and actually think they can beat up men.

The military has a way of humbling women like that. With true MEN, size really doesn't matter. A strong short man can toss around a guy twice his weight like it isn't nothing. I've seen it happen, many times.

There is no comparison of the upper body strength of a man vs. a female. This is the true physical divider. No matter how many pull ups or push up she does it won't equal to what a man can do who is fit and strong.

This doesn't mean women can't play a significant role in support units or can't be a great sniper or whatever. But physically going up against men, no!! This is why it's hard for me to watch those GI Jane movies because those are true fiction.

Cosign. That's why I'm against the idea of female cops or even female firefighters. We all can't do the same jobs. There are physical limitations.
