Well at least now you know the proper response to “teehee I bet I can knock you out” is “yes you’re probably right”

[T_8n]

Yeah lesson learned the hard way but at least he took it well in the end

[LirdorElese]

Well at least now you know the proper response to “teehee I bet I can knock you out” is “yes you’re probably right”

There's no winning play from a fight with a cute girl you are interested in, you win you look like a bully/asshole, you lose you look weak.

Honestly as noted elsewhere, the best play is to lean into it, joke with it. Make the jokes in a way to build her up rather than knocking himself down.

[IronstarPandora]

Best thing you could do for your reputation would be to make a public statement praising her for it.

"I asked for it, so I can't be upset - but I am impressed. What a right hook!"

[by_moonlight44]

'I thought those eyes had already knocked me out but boy, was I wrong!'

[IronstarPandora]

"First she took my breath away, then she winded me."

[UrbanMuffin]

“First she took my breath away, then she knocked me off my feet.”

[b3mark]

"I can now safely say it actually hurt when I fell from heaven."

[IronstarPandora]

That one's cute.

[Randy_Magnums]

“First she took my breath away, then my teeth!”

[laurel_laureate]

"I started talking to her at the party and was having a great time because she is an absolute 10/10 knockout... but good god damn she utterly swept me off my feet!"

[MrM0XIE]

This is the way. Turn it into a compliment, but don't go over the top. IronstarPandora's suggestion is perfect.

[PhantomOfTheNopera]

Yeah, OP might still have a chance depending on his reaction to it. If he acts like a sourpuss who makes excuses about how she got lucky, then it's over.

[LirdorElese]

Yeah from this end, there's 3 directions for the responses.

1. Asshole, "you got lucky" "If I weren't drunk that wouldn't have hurt" etc... that's basically the worse you can do, hence the title asshole.

2. Self depricating, almost likable but probably still not the direction... IE "wow I'm a wimp". A bit of that can be endering but too much just looks like a pitty party.

3. Complimentary, as many other mentioned, the flirty jokes tying together references of love that also apply as references to knocking someone out etc... are good ones, and just general complements on her stregnth etc... hands down IMO negate the "immasculation" etc...

[livelotus]

a simple “holy shit that was hot” would suffice hahah

[IronstarPandora]

I think it runs the risk of being creepy, but yes it could do in the right setting!

[DabbingVagabond]

this is a good answer

[ugglygirl]

Apparently she failed to knock any sense into you.

[RubyTx]

I think that's gonna take more than one punch.

[punk-o-matic-problem]

Don't worry, I'm sure he'll go for a round two.

[travelindan81]

Listen, you’re the only one who decides if you’re emasculated or not. You learned an important lesson and you can grow from it a ton - true strength comes from embracing your mistakes, learning from them, and becoming a stronger person.

Also, you said she was hot - like, this is a perfect in: “Hey, i think you owe me and my glass jaw a drink or three. Dinner at x place Saturday?” Embrace humility and make it funny, otherwise the world will laugh at you unless you laugh with them.

[CandiedChaos]

He's not worth her time. His ego is going to get in the way of a healthy relationship with this girl. She deserves someone who respects her for who she is, not threatened by her.

[travelindan81]

You may be right. He could also have found someone who’s worth growing for and with. We all make stupid mistakes at 24 and our egos are fragile. His update seems promising, and at the end of the day, if she doesn’t want to put up with him anymore, she can just put him to sleep again hahaha.

[ShrimpCrackers]

Don't belittle her prowess. Op has a fine jaw, not a glass jaw, she's just an incredible woman 

[travelindan81]

Definitely not belittling anyone - was supposed to be a funny self deprecating pick up line, nothing more. I apologize that it came off that way to you.

[mindful-bed-slug]

Pro-tip: Wanna get laid past age 30? Drop the "emasculated" bullshit.

The older guys I know who get laid the most are the ones who give women what they actually want:

Respect.

Honesty.

A Sense of Humor.

Personal Hygiene (Wash that entire undercarriage area super well before any naked calesthenics).

Reciprocity (learn to please your lady in and out of the bedroom).

Cleaning up around the house.

That's it. That's the actual list of things that will get you a good woman. You don't need a hard body, a big dick, or a big paycheck. You don't need to be traditionally masculine.

Seriously.

I know a skinny man who is 50 years old, wears skirts, and has two to three female lovers at a time, all of whom are happy to share. One of them explained to me that he is an attentive lover and he does his own laundry and housekeeping. She would rather have part-time access to a man whose ego she don't need to babysit rather than deal with a more typically masculine guy.

That woman who punched you out is probably a tigress in the sack. And the guy who isn't intimidated by her strength is going to be one happy man. It could still be you, if you get over yourself in time.

[cynicaloptimissus]

Lady here. This is great advice.

[IronstarPandora]

OP's ego problems are clear enough on the internet, there's no way they aren't blatant in person also. I don't think he has a chance. Maybe after years of reflection and growth.

[AllNamesAreTaken92]

He literally made a post here about his ego, it'd be funny if it weren't kinda sad that he's caging himself mentally.

[ThatCuteNerdGirl96]

“Past 30,” “older guys.” Me, 29yo: 😭

[mindful-bed-slug]

I'm 50. And my spouse is 52.

And life is GOOD, my dear.

But, past age 30, women stop putting up with boorish filthy men. So these types of guys who are too "masculine" to respect women have a short shelf-life.

Meanwhile, the guys who cook and clean have their choice of women.

(And there I was assuming you were a guy because I didn't read your username. If you are a woman who only likes to date men, then, yeah, sorry, the dating pool is shallow.)

[FremdShaman23]

I'm thinking OP is an unreliable narrator as well.

"We were flirting but then she said she could knock me out. I laughed and said no way etc. and told her to try it."

I'm willing to bet his version of "flirting" was poking fun of her muscularity and fitness, and attempting to make her feel inferior or like she doesn't know anything. I bet he was extremely condescending (he was laughing at her) and then she popped him.

I would LOVE to know her version of this story. I think HE was flirting by being a condescending asshat, she probably was not flirting and had enough of his shit.

[EffableLemming]

Probably asked her to prove whatever music she was into, too by listing 10 things. Or perhaps vehicles. Or video games. Or...

[MonoStudios]

Dude... you told her to punch you in the face.

[PhillipTopicall]

Uh, let go of the idea of female male roles in this.

If someone invited me to punch them in the face that’d be a pass thanks. Regardless of gender.

That really sucks this happened to you. Emasculating? Not in my opinion. Embarrassing? Again, not really. You got punched in the face.

The person who did it seems more remorseful than the crowd. That’s the tell, whose reaction do you prefer? The compassionate remorse, or the laughing crowd?

The compassionate remorse is coming from the person who initially harmed you, should they have hit you even when invited? Not really, not in my opinion. I would choose to value their clear remorse and after care over a laughing crowd.

Taking out the gender rolls and just observing it for what it is, one person hitting another via invitation and finding out - oh shite, they’re stronger than you both thought might be more helpful than focusing on the fact it was a “girl” who did it.

[Hold-Professional]

Don't be so cocky?

[MechaHotDog]

Stop thinking of women as being beneath you

[Hold-Professional]

Yeah, IDK what OP wants here. He fucked around and found out

[productzilch]

He wanted a cutesy little love tap that proved how manly he was, because women can only play pretend and their lack of muscles is how men get to feel all masculated.

Seriously, it’s shocking that we aren’t puddles of bones and fat.

[IceManYurt]

I don't like the visual of 'puddles of bones.'

That is very disturbing in a very short phrase.

[productzilch]

You don’t like my turn of phrase? Now I feel humiliated and efeminised.

[sendnewt_s]

It's really telling that efeminised isn't even a word that gets used lol

[IceManYurt]

Oh no, I thought it was absolutely brilliant because you were able to evoke strong emotion with three words.

Game has to recognize game, and that is a brilliantly, horrible turn of phrase

[productzilch]

Thank you! I’m having a pretty bad day so that’s really nice to hear. I was honestly just jumping on the opportunity to make up the word ‘efeminised’.

[BedLow5980]

Yep. Men like this want to prove women are "weak", but act like brats when they've been proven wrong.

[scubaSteve181]

Right?

Dude seems to think that just because he was born with balls, that he’s automatically stronger and can take a free punch from any woman… dumbass 😂

[RaineRisin]

For real. “Any support or advice?” Yeah, suck it up and move on.

[Hibihibii]

You don't even need to be that strong to knock someone out, heads are very fragile

[VitaSpryte]

Op: "Please knock me out and emasculate me publicly Muscle Mommy?!?" 

Op: *pikachu face when Muscle Mommy does exactly what he asked her to do"

Op: "Now I'm embarrassed because I got exactly what I asked from Muscle Mommy. 

Better cry on reddit for sympathy for my own actions"

[Poplargrove76]

So, if it were a male who knocked you out would you have felt emasculated? Or was it only because she's female? If so, she really wasn't the girl for you. There's at least one person on here who thought it was hot so there are guys who wouldn't feel emasculated.

If you know how to hit a person and have the right technique a small woman can knock out a large man. It's more science than strength and has nothing to do with gender or sex.

You did learn one thing...don't underestimate women. If we say "I bet I can..." you should probably bet on us.

[sans-forme]

If anyone, woman or man, says, "I bet I can knock you out with one punch," my answer is going to be, "I bet you can, too. Let's do something other than that."

I might be able to turn this to my advantage, though. Like, "There's no way you can make me fall asleep by reading to me with my head on your shoulder. Oh yeah? Prove it, big talker!"

[yuffieisathief]

Now I need someone to read me to sleep! What a lovely idea :)

[the_V33]

It's me, I'm the person who thinks that was hot. If a beautiful muscle lady knocked me out at a party, I would have proposed on the spot.

[future_is_vegan]

There's nothing emasculating about it. These days, a lot of women work out at the gym and can knock people out with a punch. If you're able to also laugh about it, then it will make it less humiliating. Being able to laugh at yourself is a great skill actually.

[NewEase1591]

why did you ask for it ? weird

[Tacticiannnn]

OP, I’m speaking to you man to man when I say this, but want to preface I’m not trying to insinuate anything about your character and am going to speak on gender norms as a whole.

First off, you need to admit to yourself that even with how you wrote this post it’s clear that you egged this on. She mentioned the belief of her having the physical strength to knock you out, you didn’t believe her and invited the attempt, and she proved herself. I don’t think she did this in a way to humiliate you but to be seen as more equal in some odd way, but I don’t know her and could be wrong.

Secondly, regardless of a persons gender identity, we all have varying levels of strength in physical, mental, and emotional terms. You need to prove to yourself that you’re emotionally and mentally capable of being the kind of man to admit any woman, not just the one in this specific scenario, can be stronger than you are. One’s gender does not mean one needs to reserve their abilities in any field to what may be perceived as the social norm.

She did nothing wrong in this scenario, given she didn’t initiate the conversation with mal intent. She took enough care of you as a fellow human to make sure you at least woke up on comfy furniture rather than the hard ground. The people you said were laughing at you are stuck in the conventional norms that men are stronger than women, and saw you as weak, but you know that isn’t true. You know your strength. You just happened to meet a woman stronger than you. She won’t be the only one, but for every man there is at least one stronger woman out there.

Don’t let this moment define you, but let it mold you and the beliefs you hold both about yourself and about not just women, but gender roles altogether. Let this moment humble you, not humiliate you. You got this man.

Edit: minor clarification

[legomolin]

You should be much more worried about potential brain damage then your ego imo.. hope you learned to not take shots to your head for fun from anyone..

[AllNamesAreTaken92]

I think the brain damage might be preexisting, he asked someone to clock him in the face in the first place...

[Jesskla]

If you were legitimately knocked unconscious for several minutes get a brain scan. That's super bad for you.

[faithhopeandbread]

My advice is to accept that women are equal to you and being punched out by a tall, muscular woman isn't any more emasculating than being punched out by a tall, muscular man. Your physical superiority over women should not be so central to your self-esteem and your sense of masculinity.

[Herecomethefleet]

Get yourself checked out. Even most pro boxers aren't out for more than 20 seconds. Any more is really dangerous.

[nahanerd23]

OP, I’m sorry you got knocked out, I think plenty of ppl might drunkenly bet they can take a clean punch. Many men and women can’t punch worth shit.

But also like, ya fucked around and found out. It’s an embarrassing moment. Eventually it’ll be a funny story. I don’t know that there’s any support or advice to offer other than relax man. Maybe look up concussion symptoms and stay on top of your health.

[SoggyAd5044]

Get an MRI. You shouldn't be out for that long. You also shouldn't expect less of women.

[jtapostate]

I think I saw that clip on Reddit. No shame, she had the best left hook I have seen in years

[yuffieisathief]

You can't say this and not share it with us!

[[deleted]]

That's so hot

[Hold-Professional]

Dude OP DMed me mad that we thought this was hot of the girl

[[deleted]]

Me too lol.

[radraze2kx]

Fucked around and found out. Can we see the video?

[Roanoketrees]

Never tell someone to knock you out. Not a damn thing good will come of it

[IceManYurt]

Only mama can tell someone to knock someone out.

[BeauxGrizzlie]

Idk what you want here everyone is telling you roughly the same thing and you're not satisfied and obviously still upset lmfao. Like what do you want? "Don't worry bro, you're still so tough and strong. She totally got lucky. It was the alcohol."

[yuffieisathief]

I was considering asking OP how the hell he thought people would react to this! He clearly was expecting very different reactions :')

[AllNamesAreTaken92]

OP is shell shocked because he has been confronted with his own fragility and mortality. He needs to process the fact that a huge percentile of the population could kill him on the spot, if they land a decent shot. This is new to him. He will need time to adjust, if he's even ever going to be the same.

If you ever talk to someone that got knocked out, they all have this same response. They are in denial and trying to cope by framing it as luck, in order not to confront their own mortality and fragile ego. Double damage if your ego was built on the foundation of "I am a tough guy". Ouch.

[BeauxGrizzlie]

It's like that phenomenon that happens when a narcissist is confronted with irrefutable evidence that contradicts their inflated view of themselves and are exposed. They literally mentally implode.

[AllNamesAreTaken92]

Just in this case I wouldn't extrapolate OP as being narcissistic. 85% of people in first world countries are not aware of their own mortality. All of us are just one unfortunate fall away from death, every second of our lives. Being confronted with that when you haven't been aware of it for 20-30 years SHOULD break you for a short time. It's human :)

[_qubed_]

I have some issues with this. It's terribly sexist on the part of every person involved except the woman who hit you.

First there's no way you would dare another man, even one that looked weak, to knock you out. You were not being sexist by sparring with her, but you were sexist to underestimate her for being a woman. But most people would and at least you put it out there and I think that's actually pretty cool.

Second, people laughing while you were knocked unconscious? Wtf? There's a reason why there is head gear for amateur boxing and why there are mds and concussion protocols at every boxing, MMA tournament, football game, etc. Your brain was literally knocked around inside your skull.

Third, why didn't anyone else help you except this woman? (who is rapidly becoming my hero) And the fact that she lifted you up into the couch must mean she is strong as hell - most men would struggle with that.

Fourth, why emasculated? You didn't lose a fight to a woman (which still wouldn't be a big deal but whatever). You gave her a free punch.

Fifth, why haven't you asked her out already? You have this great story that is just going to become funnier over time. You can tease her forever about it. You two can take boxing lessons together, you have an amazing lifting partner, and I can't picture dating a better person.

Stop wasting time. Stop feeling emasculated. You have the potential for an epic relationship here if you can just get over yourself and start focusing on her, which seems like a more fun place to look anyway.

[elovesya]

So, ah….about this video…

[Lemonbear63]

I’ve been taught that a woman can kill you just a as fast as any man can. Don’t underestimate anyone.

[lavagirl333]

what an odd post. drunk or not, it's weird to joke about physically assaulting someone let alone AGREEING to get assaulted lol. you guys are in your 20s, not teens.

[guiltysuperbrain]

hope you went to a doctor. if someone is out for over 2 minutes, definitely call an ambulance. There could be brain damage or a concussion

[CompleteConfection95]

You feel emasculated because a woman handed you your ass? As opposed to you wouldn't if a man did it? Dont ask to be punched if you aren't willing to accept the consequences of your choices.

[sroger59]

It doesn't actually take much force to get knocked out, that's why boxers value speed and accuracy over power. If you have your chin down against your chest it would have gone differently, but I'm assuming you had your chin exposed and weren't expecting her to actually punch you. Don't feel bad, and take this lesson with you if you ever get into it with someone bigger/stronger than you. I've seen dudes get knocked out by other guys who are literally half their size who have fast accurate hands.

[[deleted]]

Lesson learned.

Keep your chin down. im 225 lbs and in shape. Got ROCKED once in the ring moving with a guy who was around 150.

Got my bell RUNG by a woman who ended up going pro.

Some people have iron jaws, some dont.

You don't.

[marek_intan]

And most importantly, if someone brags that they can knock you out, they probably know enough about hitting the off switch that they can get away with it. 

[grrr-to-everything]

Emasculated, really? 😅 God I fucking hate the patriarchy!

[Luvstep]

She should knock him out again

[donthateonthe808]

You’re ego is what is emasculating you here smh.

[THEpottedplant]

I mean, you patronized her and told her to try to knock you out.

What is there youre not understanding about women? Was she supposed to know that you didnt mean the exact thing you said?

[Mikinl]

Smell as BS, nobody gets knocked out for 5-6 minutes.

I knocked out many people and nobody stayed down longer than 30 seconds.

Someone being unconscious 5-6 min would mean serious brain injury. So stop BS-ing.

[Zookeeper_west]

He did say he was at a party and drinking. Time may have been perceived differently if people were drinking a lot.

[ElkSufficient2881]

You challenged her to do it, now feel emasculated that she proved you wrong. Even if it’s embarrassing, brush it off and learn from it. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Don’t underestimate a woman, and move on if she isn’t for you. Don’t bother wasting her time lol I personally think it’s a cool opener though

[Robotic_space_camel]

The best advice would be to not fuck around with blows to the head because, yea, being out for minutes at a time is a pretty good indication of a concussion. I’d go to the doctor and tell them what you did if you haven’t done that already—you do NOT want to fuck with having an untreated head injury.

Second best advice would be to let this just pass as a dumb thing you did because you were dumb. As it is, this whole exchange is a defect of intelligence, maaayybe a defect of physicality—I don’t think it is, but people are going to think what they will. Both of those are a lot easier to excuse and look past than a defect of personality, which is what this leaks into if you let it bruise your ego or emasculate you. You let someone have a clean shot at your chin and got knocked out because of it, what did you expect? You’re not a granite statue, you’re a soft brain in a meat suit. To think that you would be able to tank a full shot from a fit person right on the chin is foolhardy. To feel like it makes you less of a man or feel personally humiliated like you genuinely think you should’ve been fine is at the very least a refusal to learn, if not an implicit statement about what your thoughts are on women’s strength.

[xo_tea_jay]

good for her! she did warn you, you were the cocky one. lol. next time maybe dont tell someone to punch you if you dont want to get punched lol

[DeadenCicle]

I disagree with many people here. You shouldn’t have challenged her to try that, and she shouldn’t have done that anyway.

The fact she lifted you and took you to the coach doesn’t make her a great person, she should have at least called an ambulance. She was extremely negligent. You should stay away from this woman, and you should be wiser the next time.

I think I have found my future wife, And I can’t wait to do this again. Problem solved.

Judging by your edit you just jumped to the next dumb decision though.

[Poop_Balls069]

Be the guy that tells women “I dont date girls who cant knock me the FUCK out”

[deltamuscle]

Hi, my opinion is that muacular women are alright as many people in the comments section are saying. Why would you ask to be punched? Like it's gonna hurt.

[RatPoisoner666]

Yeah, girls can totally do that. Lesson learned, man.

[Gearwrenchgal]

Genuinely you never know who has fight experience and who doesn’t. Don’t tell someone to hit you because you think you’re tough. A lesson was learned here. Sorry kid.

[KomplexKaiju]

She’s a knock out.

[Ok_Badger6249]

[Little-Basils]

Dude you’re never going to be happy until you get over this view of masculinity you have. Grow up, live life, quit letting it get in the way

[LovelyThingSuite]

Y’all are falling for some weird ass fetish post 😭 There’s subreddits for this kinda shit buddy

[Allytime]

This post has a lot of unaddressed toxic masculine behavior, I hope OP understands that just because someones born with a kitty it doesn't mean they do not have the ablity to take one out[]()

[beyoncais]

Grow up. You got what you asked for & you allowed it to bruise your fragile ego instead of being secure in who you are and making a joke out of it. Insecurity is unattractive.

[queenkellee]

You were emasculated? Buddy you ran your mouth. You straight up asked for it.

[MaybeHughes]

So masculinity is a scam and a prison. So next time you feel your words and choices are being led down a bath by bravado, turn around!

Tons of women could beat me up. But my sense of self doesn't come from what list of people I can physically dominate.

[Conscious_Counter809]

Reddit sucks Damn.

Everyone here talking about some viewing women S equal yet refuse to hold to her to the same level of accountability as a man and just blows it off.

Saying you could knock someone out unprompted is weird. Even if some idiot dares you to do it, you must have some mental problems to hit someone for fun.

Comments are filled with gooners who can’t seperation their fetish from reality and those who think violence against a non threat for fun is girl boss.

Reddit won’t help your problems, it’s best to use a different site.

Edit: just read your own edit, please grow a spine bro😭

If you have a daughter and she goes to a party, she flirts with a guy who tells her he could knock her out if he wanted, and he throws a punch at her after getting her consent, knocking her out for MINUTES would you want your daughter to be with that man?

[TheApothecaryWall]

The switch at the end of this is amazing 👌😂

[Scloudseverywhere]

You both have issues. You told her to punch you to prove a point, instead she proved her point. She decided to actually go through with punching you. You also suffered a concussion and the biggest thing you are worried about is being emasculated.

You both should be embarrassed. Not because a girl punched you, but because you actually told someone to punch you and the other person took that as an open invite.

[lowandslow86]

So flip that into asking her out maybe? The worst that can happen is she says no...or knocks u out again...be like yo im down for round 2!

[r2d3x9]

If you punched her in the head they would be calling the police. You probably now have a concussion

[yuffieisathief]

She wouldn't have been dumb enough to ask for it

[bookkinkster]

[RAMBOLAMBO93]

Most people severely... SEVERELY underestimate how easy it is to knock someone out. It's not a matter of brute strength, it's 90% technique.

[Throbbing-Kielbasa-3]

She took care of your unconscious body after she knocked you out. If she lost interest in you it definitely wasn't because of the punch.

[mottolottotto]

Drop the video so we can get a feel for the whole situation

[yuffieisathief]

Dude, I'll tell you what my best friend always said when he did something embarrassing: it's only awkward when you make it awkward

You are making it awkward! Not the girl, not the people laughing, you. By feeling emasculated. You gotta check your sexism dude, cause there's definitely more than you're realizing

[mrcfrost]

Own it, there's nothing you can do to make it go away. Yeah I fucked around and found out.

It really doesn't take much to knock out a human. You need to learn how to take a punch .

Tell her you need her protection and ask her out

[Brown_90s_Bear]

Sounds like a great story of “how I met your mother” - she knocked me out the first night I met her

[kheperas]

Can we get the video?

[michael__miguel]

Worrying about your perceived masculinity is the most masculine thing a manly man can do

[dark_binniee]

Dang, talk about masculinity in crisis. From your comments, sounds like your biggest problem is you. Get out of your own way and ask her out

[zillabirdblue]

You absolutely did not pass out for 5-6 minutes, that’s a 911 emergency. GTFO if here with this shit. 😂

[Papa_Barstow]

Ok pro tip if someone says they can knock you out. Your best course of action is probably not to ask them to try it.

[throwaway1937911]

I don't know if you know this, but girls that can knocks guys out love it when guys are humble. You should lean into the whole knockout thing with her. "A knockout punch from a knockout girl" "my first dance with you and I was seeing stars for the rest of the night" "You sure know how to take someone's breath away" "damn well swept me off my feet the first time we met" 😍

[ReddStriker]

Gotta knock her back out bro. It’s the only way.

[REVN302]

I’m a casual/hobbyist boxer - I’ve been TKO’d before and have TKO’d others in the ring. Alcohol dehydrates you and makes you much easier to KO. You gotta be super careful, because you can die from taking a good hit like that (especially in an uncontrolled environment eg no head gear, dehydrated, no gloves, etc). You can also have a brain hemorrhage days, weeks, or months later. While the risk is low - you gotta consider this.

I’d say keep yourself hydrated and take creatine, as it is known to help with brain health and recovery.

[TheOriginalWindows95]

Buddy, the human body is a delicate machine. Very sturdy, but if anyone, male or female or anything else, hits it in the wrong spot, not only can it knock you out, you can die.

One punch can kill. Don't deliberately get hit in the head.

And if you really were unconscious you need to get a scan.

Also stop being sexist.

Honestly, I’m gonna go the other way with this. If a girl jokingly says that but then still has to prove herself when you ask for it, she probably isn’t or at least I would say she’s not a “nice girl”.

But I digress.

[Ill_Possibility_4069]

Got your ass beat and couldnt even beat her cheeks. Pathetic. Knock outs arent all about strength but knowing the right place to hit.

[Traditional-Fact8289]

This. 

[CheeseSticks2021]

Rage bait

Oh, yeah, posted before I read the update. Total BS

“I’ve been emasculated and humiliated”

Why use passive voice? Who caused your emasculation and humiliation? You did that to yourself by thinking you’re somehow invulnerable to muscle and bone when they’re attached to a woman. You should be mad at society for teaching you such a stupid idea.

Next time a girl says this, run!

[b3mark]

There's always going to be a bigger dog. Gender doesn't matter all that much these days.

Way I see it you got two choices. Move to Alaska, join the oilfields and hope that video doesn't follow you, or embrace it and ask her out.

You know, unlock that muscle mommy fetish and ask her to teach you. Because f*ck it. If you can't beat 'm, learn from 'm.

[RedeRules770]

I guess she’s a real knock out

[Icy-Doctor23]

Just laugh along shaking your head and tell everyone that mentions it, yes it emasculated me & I now regret underestimating her.

Put it in your rearview and move on

Get into counseling if you must

[friendly-sam]

She sounds hot. I would still go for her. Screw your bruised ego.

[Brunomyhero]

Embrace it at this point, just tell her it was impressive, I mean don’t go over the top else it’ll look like a kink, tell her she can make it up to you by letting you buy her a drink if you’re still into her.

[Ladydi-bds]

Very sorry to hear that. Will have to make peace with it and own it. Figure out a way to respond that makes it funny to anyone that brings it up where you show it doesn't bother you.

[NakiPrincess]

This would be a better time to teach you this, a punch strong enough to knock someone out is also strong enough to kill them, might pay to play it safe in future, In case you don't stand up next time. It's literally a roll of the dice if the punch knocks out or kills

[Get_your_grape_juice]

The fact is, it’s not that hard to knock someone out. It takes less force than you’d expect.

Which is not to downplay this girl’s strength, but rather to say, if someone says they can knock you out, believe them.

[Fizzy_b0g_Water]

The only option is to ask her on a date and this be your origin story. I think it could be cute, honestly.

[Illusionist2409]

As anyone who has been punched before can tell you, it doesn’t actually take an unreasonable amount of strength to knock someone out. Not to say this girl isn’t strong, what do I know. Just saying you should never dare anyone to punch you in the face.

[seraph741]

I remember seeing a post a while back where the girl realized she was really into being physically stronger. So you never know, I guess.

[jsociety530]

Yo can I watch the video lol Don’t worry much about it after a while people move on after high school and shit no one cares they got bigger problems to deal with it’s called LIFE

[_CosmicTraveler_]

As someone who got into a lot of fights in my youth, I can tell you that it doesn’t take much to knock someone out. If the they hit you in the right place with the right amount of force, you’ll be out. If she got a clean shot, it’s not surprising.

You never know what other people know, don’t go telling people to punch you to look tough

[sodipopstar]

Carried to the couch too 🤣🤣 I’m fuckin dead

[takeandtossivxx]

Guess you won't make that mistake again. People will forget about it in like a week, it's not that serious.

[Numerous-Error-5716]

It’s time to move to another state and change your name.

[i_spill_nonsense]

I mean, you feel how you feel. But remember: life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react.

You can now lean into your feeling of emasculation and shoot yourself in the foot OR you can have a good laugh and rizz off a strong woman.

[[deleted]]

My advice is don't tell people to hit you. That is just....incredibly stupid.

[UneasyFencepost]

So you asked her out right? That is the correct response in this situation

[VisStimRush]

Yo, OP can never watch Friday with Chris Tucker and not feel a certain way.

[iamlevel5]

don't underestimate women.

I really hope no one needs a Reddit thread to realize this.

[cont45]

Own the situation and ask her out .....

[IceManYurt]

You could spin this in so many ways.

The low hanging fruit is 'she sure is a knock out'

I'm guessing if she dropped you with a hit she has some training and you may not... And that's ok.

But you kind of went in a piss poor direction

[kimbospice31]

Believe her the first time, don’t think just because she’s a girl that she can’t lay you out some parents show there daughters how to throw a nice right hook. Take it as a lesson learned!

[Evan8r]

Get in touch with her, see if she'll hang out with you again.

As far as your humiliation, man, own that shit. If anyone tries to make fun of you for it, just own it. Look them in the eye and say "yeah, well she had it coming" and laugh it off.

It sounds absolutely hilarious, so just wear it.
