Why not choose the route that lets you exit the woods as fast as possible? From OP's wording, it sounds like he was already in the woods before he decided to take a shortcut.
Wandering through the woods? You're lucky you only got pushed over, last time I saw people wandering through the woods in a movie, they wound up joined at the digestive system!
So what? You're mad she beat you to it? Man should defend a woman. Unless you both know it's not gonna happen and both retreat. Of course there's some women that have to defend a man.
Really. Then you all are pussies. A man should take care of his women if a person or animal comes at them. If you disagree you are a bitch and should run. Yes women are equal yada yada but it's true most men are more powerful and should defend their women. You all are like the rest of america and are afraid to hurt someone's feelings. Same problem with our country.
I'm all for protecting my woman, but when she goes out of her way to make sure I receive harm instead of her, then let's say she will get her equal rights, and equal lefts.
Your point which isn't what I was trying to make first of all. The point is that a man should protect their girlfriend, wife, female from harm. It's called chivalry. Apparently not many men have these days from what I see. And the women that trash talk are the first ones to slam a man if he didn't protect her. If the role was reversed in this fml then women would be bashing the man for running. Can't have it both ways.
Actually I'd be pissed off of me and my partner didn't fight the evil imaginary threat together.
He would shoot it in the face with our homemade flame thrower whilst I'd run behind it and set a trip wipe so it'd fall over and then we could escape together as equals. Boom.
Oh and I think same sex marriage is a disgrace. It's wrong and shouldn't be allowed. Marriage is a bond between a man and woman. Now let the flood of comments begin 3,2,1.... Carpet munchers and pole puffers
True, I'm very flightly and would leave my friends in the dust if something scares me. I remember one time I was in a small cave tunnel with a friend and I was in front and she was crawling behind me. Heard a sound that sounded like claws scratching and I hightailed it out of there.
Well running away is fine imo, since (as you said) it's instinct. But pushing her bf into dangers way is cowardly, selfish and just plain douchy. F his life.
