Poll: Do you fight dirty when you're backed into a corner?

Question

I'm curious about the breaking point of my fellow LGBT.

Answer 1

All fighting is dirty.

But there will be no abiding by the Geneva Convention when my (sequined) gloves come off.

Answer 2

I don't normally get backed into a corner during a fight because I choose my battles wisely and I fight them intelligently and maturely. I am also wise enough to realize that most fights end with both sides making compromises.

edit: I didn't even consider that you might mean a physical fight! LOL Well if it's a physical fight then I can tell you I have certainly done everything to walk away from it, so if it comes to physical blows it would be because you have laid your hands on me. At that point I would fight in any manner I needed to defend myself and end the fight. I haven't been in a physical fight since high school, it was embarrasing to me that I had to fight then. I had put up with her harrassment for months and then one day she just went to far, when it came down to the actual fight she hit me first and then when she saw that I wasn't going to take it she didn't want to fight anymore because she was a senior and didn't want to get kicked out. But by that point she had me at my breaking point and I didn't back down! My teacher knew what had been going on for months so when she walked by and saw the fight she turned her back and let me finish it. The fight was never reported to anyone and I was never picked on by this girl again. So yeah we all have a point.

Answer 3

Yes, I use courts myself.

Answer 4

When I am in a fight nothing is off limits. It's all dirty.

Answer 5

Nope.  I try to avoid confrontation if at all possible.  And I don't fight dirty.  I've met many people who are pretty bitter in general, so they fight dirty regardless if they are backed into a corner or not.  

Answer 6

Whenever I get into a fight I fight dirty, Always have

Answer 7

No, I fight violently.  I've learned this past week that my gf fights very low and dirty, and I don't like it.  I hate games.  I'd rather you hit me and get it over with than spew accusations and filth at me.

Edit:  No, I don't do what you mentioned as fighting dirty.  I stick to the current issue.  My gf, however, fights very dirty.  She brings up stuff from long ago and twists and turns facts to suit her needs.  I don't like it.  And at the moment it is causing a BIG problem for our relationship.

Answer 8

I certainly have in the past, so I know I'm capable of it, but I think I have evolved since then (not to mention got older!)  Today I think I don't fight that way.  I would probably apologize or excuse myself and walk away.

Answer 9

It takes a lot for me to get to that point, but yes I can fight dirty.  Or rather, deviously.  And it's immensely satisfying too.  

I only remember once standing up to someone after being backed into a proverbial corner by my neighbours son who was 17 at the time, and I didn't have to "fight" at all.  I'm not very tall so there's nothing threatening about me, but I must have looked really peed off because he backed down immediately and I saw the panic in his face too, so he really wasn't expecting that from me.  I'm not really one for confrontations but I'll stand my ground if I have to and I can be a feisty female dog when I need to be, especially on someone else's behalf.        

Edit:  I did wonder if I'd misunderstood your question.

Now that I've got a better idea of what you mean, no I don't fight dirty.  If it's in the past and it's been dealt with it's forgotten.  If there's an ongoing situation that hasn't been resolved then yes I will fight dirty, and in fact still am with regard to the incident with my neighbours.  But Heaven knows they deserve it.

Answer 10

I used to fight dirty back in my younger days, now that I had christ in my life, I know how to get handle things in a mature way.  

Answer 11

Sometimes I do, and I hate it. I'm the type that tries to avoid confrontation at all costs, its in my astrological sign. [I'm a libra]

But other than that I just deal with the subject and move on.

Physically wise, I'll kick anybody's f*cking a*s if they start something with me. Plain and simple. Most people avoid me since the fact that I box.

Thank you, move out of my way, leave me to my business.
