Do you think it鈥檚 appropriate to punch someone for hitting on your partner right infront of you?

Personally, I think it鈥檚 a bit extreme. 馃槄 But, a lot of people seem to think this video of this guy punching another guy for hitting on his girl is justified. 馃樁 I mean, it鈥檚 a really short clip so there could have been a lot more to initiate the punch. But, just going based off that small clip it seems crazy.

Punching is a common man's resort. Id rather they duel to death

I don't think it's justified there, but I also wouldn't feel bad for the guy getting punched.

Edit - unless he wasn't aware that she was his girlfriend, I guess.
@BlueVeins haha, okay. I can agree with that some what.

I'd want to punch them, but I'm too nice. 馃槖
If she felt threatened or scared i think its fine lol. More men need to start knocking other men out for the safety of women.
@DarlingSelah I second this.

Like you mentioned, we only have the clip to work with. If there was more going on, maybe justified. But hitting on her once and getting punched in an overreaction.
Carver31-35, F
No. I鈥檇 say it鈥檚 your partner鈥檚 job to let one hitting on them know that they鈥檙e taken.
@Carver yessss. This is me and exactly how I viewed it.
@Carver YESSSSSS

My husband doesn't mind that at all. He has watch me with other men

@smileylovesgaming that's pretty hot

I think that would depend a lot on just how the person was "hitting" on one's partner. In general, I agree that punching the guilty part is not most justified of responses.

I enjoy watching them hit on her and get rejected. If she gives me the signal, I move in and politely ask the other man to try his luck on someone else.

I think it's justified.. a man shouldn't hit a woman, they are much stronger and so shouldn't hit someone weaker and less able to defend themselves.. A man vs another man is a more even match.. and it's likely to have triggered his protective instincts..

But as you reasonably state.. there could be more we don't know.. but it's hard to imagine how anything could justify the first guy hitting the woman.
@Adaydreambeliever Neither of the men hit the woman. The woman鈥檚 s/o hit the man who flirted with her infront of him.
Adaydreambeliever56-60, F
@Stark Ahh got it.. hitting ON, I mistook that for hitting on, as in hitting, like loving on. OK then, no, not justified! And thank you for drawing that to my attention, I am very tired today! Perhaps tireder than I thought!
@Adaydreambeliever haha, no it鈥檚 fine. I didn鈥檛 really know the best way to word it so I can understand the confusion.

I think violence isn't a good option in most cases, especially when it's not necessary!
@SW-User Yeah, it seem really over the top.
SW-User
Maybe if it was the girl doing the punching, but no it's a very last resort as far as I'm concerned.
SW-User
Not at all. Maybe if they were being aggressively persistent.
Drewman46-50, M
That's pretty controlling and extreme
@Drewman Yeah, I kind of thought that at first too. Instantly thought it was controlling, and kind of crazy. But, I don鈥檛 know what all happened. If the guy was persistent and aggressive I can see a punch being justified, but if he wasn鈥檛 then I think it鈥檚 a bit extreme.
nahright0941-45, M
there is no good reason for a man raising his hand to a woman. He's leaving the situation with a broken nose, some teeth missing, jaw broken...something.
MethDozerM
@nahright09 she isn't talking about hitting a woman.
nahright0941-45, M
@MethDozer lol i missed the "on" and focused on Hitting..ooops!
@nahright09 it鈥檚 okay, someone else did that. It should have been worded better.
xixgunM
Much of that is dependent on how my wife reacts.

If my wife is scared and angry, being punched is the least they can hope for.
@xixgun Well, I do think if they鈥檙e persistent and aggressive then yeah I can see that being a scenario.
That鈥檚 a bit extreme. Personally I would just threaten to kill them if they kept on and then walk away
@Freudianslip13 馃ぃ haha, if it kept on and he was being persistent I may can see a punch being justified.
Ryannnnnn31-35, M
Depends if the other person knows they're together or not. Though I think its always understandable tbh.
Straylight31-35, F
Saying partner makes me think of some strange board room meeting.
Straylight31-35, F
I throw my snake at him. 馃槧
@Straylight at which one ?馃ぃ
Straylight31-35, F
@Stark I only have the one. 馃ぃ
quitwhendoneM
It's really stupid and it's battery. He goes to jail.
SW-User
Yes. They asked for it
Zonuss41-45, M
No. Because you could get sued. 馃檪
MartinTheFirst22-25, M
No, it will mostly turn the entire room against you.
MartinTheFirst22-25, M
@Stark No one will understand why you hit him because they didn't pay attention and they'll effectively throw you out.
@MartinTheFirst Thats true. I think that鈥檚 how I view the video now. It鈥檚 hard to really know what鈥檚 happening, and really say who鈥檚 in the wrong.
MethDozerM
Justified. The law really needs to catch up.
MethDozerM
@Stark Let me put it this way. As dudes, we know. I repeat, we know, when another dude is fixing to hit us. Yet we choose to keep needling.
@MethDozer How many fights have you been in ?
MethDozerM
@Stark A few in the past. I know when to descalate as I've grown older .
