Male identity crises
This might not warrant its own thread, but I found [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register] to be an interesting and honest account of the kind of reaction a conventional guy might have the first time he's exposed to a trained/skilled woman. Many on here will find this account to be silly at best and contemptable at worst, but I personally felt like I could relate to some of his thought process. I'll put the text here and would be curious to know what others think.
Also of note: I don't believe the screenshot in the article has anything to do with the story itself, as I recognize it to be from [Only Registered Users Can See LinksClick Here To Register], which doesn't fit the situation he describes. Quote:

Re: Male identity crises
Guy sounds like a idiot. Your dating a girl that trains in jujitsu... and if she is really into and and likes the sport jujitsu people always like to grapple around and throw their friends in holds and submissions. And they love to squeeze to get the tap which she was doing. He probably more upset cause it was done at a party wirh people around rather than at home in private. But still she trains in jujitsu .... there no shame in your girl catching you in a hold while you are playfully rolling around

He's got one thing in mind - "me, man, stronger, automatically better fighter/wrestler/gamer" - and it doesn't mesh with his reality. It's a mindfuck that's totally normal.

Re: Male identity crises
Perhaps similar with guys who have a partner who makes more money than them.
In their upbringing they learned that the male should be the provider and the protector etc. If your girl can then easily kill you with her bare hands that kinda shatters that image and makes you doubt your own position in life etc. The idea that he should have been sporty about it and say ''hey good roll bruh'' and bump fists with her or something seems out of place if he is not familiar with it. A lot of people have a certain image of themselves that while they have never been in a serious fight they assume they would not be helpless. When someone then easily mops you up it confronts you with your own mortality and just how fragile you are against some well applied physics. If that someone then turns out to be your partner whom you learned your entire life should be weaker than you and you should protect her you feel awfully vulnerable. Clearly you suck as a protector... so... now you have to deal with that realization.. Added after 8 minutes: Quote:
Sparring in itself is basically a simulated death match. And the tap symbolizes they could have choked you death or broken a limb (and then choke you to death). All that stuff is pretty confrontational and you have to be into that and go through a certain growing process to get used to it and consider it a game. Also shows that if you are trained you should not just apply submission holds on people who don't know it. Jocko Willlink broke some dude's throat with an ezekiel because he had never done BJJ before and when sparring the guy panicked and forgot to tap. Those submission holds are dangerous and can have quite an emotional impact on people who don't know them. Last edited by Wrestler11; 16-Nov-20 at 23:07. |

Re: Male identity crises
Agreed. If he understood BJJ better he would not be in such shock. Not a big deal since she is trained and he is not. Also, to me, sounds like she thought she was going to impress him showing off her skills. At least that would have been my reaction. "good hold, I will get you next time". I'd say he should apologize, help her train and be the envy of many. Anybody that gives him a hard, bet them and make some money

Re: Male identity crises
So he weighs just 140 lbs and he tought BJJ is so ineffective that he could beat a girl with 5 years of training just because he is a male? (it's clear he was bothered by the realization he is powerless against her, not by the act of choking itself).
I'm glad he learned that he was wrong the hard way. |

I find hard to believe she didn't explain him what her hobby was in six months, he likely just dismissed it as ineffective because she is a girl. That's why I empathize with her and not with him and I'm happy he was humiliated, since despite being a man i'm used to being in the same situation. I have met several untrained people who tought they could beat him despite me being trained (and them knowing it) just because i'm short and skinny, and ironically I'm talking about guys just 15-40 lbs heavier than me, not huge 240 + lbs muscular brutes who may actually be right. It's an incredibly frustrating feeling, being perceveid as weak despite all your succesfull effort to stop being weak just because of the way you look and ignorant prejiudicies. I remember in particularly a fat out of shape guy telling me "but you are so skinny I could just launch you away with one hand", fortunately a few weeks later we had the opportunity to have a sparring match at a friend's house and I easily tapped him repeadetly, making him change his mind.
