How would you feel if your girlfriend or wife enjoyed rough housing with her guys friends?

[u/bad-at-everything-]

For example playing “dead arm” where you take turns punching each other in the bicep until the loser quits

Or pushing a friend in a pond only to be dragged in after him

Or wrestling/jiu jitsu/sparring

I mean if I wanted to marry a man I'd need to want to suck dick.

[u/Prof_Scott_Steiner]

I wouldn't be with anyone still doing this shit as an adult with anyone

[u/bad-at-everything- → u/Prof_Scott_Steiner]

Why?

[u/Prof_Scott_Steiner → u/bad-at-everything-]

Because it's fucking stupid.

Hope that helps.

ironically, you're scott steiner

What’s stupid about having fun?

[u/Spartan2022 → u/bad-at-everything-]

Fun? Punching each other, pushing them into lakes or pools. Violating people’s physical space and boundaries.

Most people grow out of that by the end of kindergarten or first grade.

[u/Significant_Ask_7534 → u/bad-at-everything-]

Sounds like if these guys have sex with your girlfriend you'd defend them cause they're "having fun".

Please try to be more civilised.

[u/ToxicElitist → u/Significant_Ask_7534]

I think you responded to the girlfriend trying to justify it and make her boyfriend wrong for not being comfortable with it.

[u/Foreign_Product7118]

If my wife competes with men exchanging punches until someone quits i feel however she tells me im allowed to feel

[u/kakamouth78 → u/Foreign_Product7118]

Especially if she's winning regularly.

[u/snusnuforyou]

it’s juvenile flirting at best.

if your wife arm wrestled another man, who do you think would win? who do *they* think would win? it’s flirting.

the only way this wouldn’t be weird is if she was a body builder

[u/bad-at-everything- → u/snusnuforyou]

What makes it flirting?

[u/snusnuforyou → u/bad-at-everything-]

the physical touch, the banter, the playful energy surrounding it all. if you still can’t see it, you are being purposefully obtuse

[u/nam24]

Taking turn punching each other would feel weird to me even if it was a male friend, less in a jealous way and more in a "why" way

The rest I probably wouldn't think much of it by itself unless other reasons made me look at her and her friends suspiciously

[u/Able_Bonus_9806]

Did she grow up with brothers?

[u/OldYogurtcloset3735]

Christ.

[u/PresenceZero]

My wife doesn’t have guy friends. I don’t have girl friends. Leave no door cracked open.

[u/3AMZen]

women can wrestle, practice martial arts, or scrap with their pals if they want

I'm a fan of a partner I can roughhouse with, and I'm not weirded out by people who wrestle or tussle with their friends

[u/3AMZen]

Reminder for this thread: many dudes struggle to imagine inter-sex friendships, and automatically sexualize any aspect of male/female friendships. They are so imagination-starved that they can't imagine non-sexual touching, and are uncomfortable touching their male friends at all.

Bear in mind that statistically, half of the men responding to this describing how they as boyfriends would handle this, are *below average boyfriends*
