<p>I know a girl who’s gotten beat up twice by a guy already, and she’s not even in an abusive relationship with anyone. Is there some characteristic of some girls that makes guys think it’s ok to get physical with them?</p>
<p>I don’t know either. I would never even think of raising my hand to a girl. (Or almost anyone for that matter.)</p>
<p>it’s because of the dopamine and serotonin pathways in their brains</p>
<p>I’ve never really heard about any guys just randomly beating up girls… but I do know a girl whose boyfriend hit her. It’s messed up.</p>
<p>^what?</p>
<p>anyways, it’s a control thing for those guys. they look for girls who would be easy to control, at least for a while.</p>
<p>rihanna :(</p>
<p>^ Chris Brown now = epic fail. :(</p>
<p>I meant that when guys hit girls 99% of the time its because they’re in an abusive relationship. </p>
<p>I think it’s a control thing too, but some girls don’t realize verbal abuse is just as bad.</p>
<p>speaking of chris brown and rihanna, does anybody know why it happened? I heard rihanna gave chris brown STDs or something…haha…</p>
<p>What about random instances when a girl would be hanging out with a guy and then a physical scuffle results… Play fighting between guys I suppose would be relatively more normal, but for guys to try play-fighting with girls? Eh…that just seems weird.</p>
<p>Despite the whole ‘feminism/women want equal rights’ mumbojumbo some guys dish out…</p>
<p>If he hits a girl - he has lost ALL previously-attractive qualities.</p>
<p>oh lol sorry claire. i meant the ^ to post #2 but then u posted before me 
& i think that std thing was just a rumor. but even if it’s true, totally agreed with ieatreeds’ last line.</p>
<p>I wonder why girls think it’s perfectly OK to hit guys?</p>
<p>So why is it ok for females to slap males whenever they want?</p>
<p>^ because they don’t/won’t hit hard enough to hurt you [in the acceptable cases]</p>
<p>it stems from the fact that females are better talkers than males. girls talk more, and say much more. they voice their thoughts aloud more efficiently. guys aren’t usually as talkative and emotional. they can’t fight back with words. thus, they resort to physical fighting.</p>
<p>call me a girl, but personally, i would never raise a fist to anyone, not even a guy who’s beating me up. i would take it, like a man. i don’t believe in fighting. only in passive talk. hugs.</p>
<p>^ “only in passive talk. hugs.”</p>
<p>Aw. :B</p>
<p>This doesn’t answer the original question, but I just want to day that this is one of the few things I think are absolutely cruel. It’s disgusting. I could never hurt anyone. Especially a girl. And I’d lose my respect for people who did.</p>
<p>I feel tempted to say “fatality” in a deep voice…
but seeing as this is real life that might not be too appropriate…</p>
<p>lol play-fighting between guys and girls is weird? i’m a girl and i play-fight with my guy friends a lot. like punching and kicking, not just slapping. not hard enough to hurt, though i have gotten a few bruises and almost got pushed into a table and stuff. they don’t do it to be mean and i’m in taekwondo so i can fight back. usually i start the play-fight haha. if they ever actually hurt me though they would not be proud of it. so as long as we are careful i don’t think there is anything wrong with it.</p>
<p>Whether it’s right, wrong, or whatever else, I’d be very hesitant to raise my hand on a girl - it’s just the way I (and thousands of others in Western society) have been raised.</p>
<p>Unless, of course, like, some 6’2 250 pound buff chick comes at me with a knife (actually I’d probably run away screaming like a girl if that happened).</p>
