This Can Go Two Ways

I was watching a video about robbers trying to rob the wrong people.
One guy was a boxer and was twice the size of the robber, so the robber got his ass kicked.
A few were Marines back at home and people tried to rob them.
I know there's no legit way to tell if someone is a badass just by looking, but if the person is like twice your size, I think you should consider your actions carefully.
I mean, this one was a tiny 18 year old mother and she shot one of the robbers.
Size doesn't always matter, but being 5' 2'', I'm not going to go up to a 6' person and talk shit xD
I think you need brains and brawn to work together.
You can be the toughest person and get outsmarted.
You can be the smartest person and get knocked on your ass.
I find it cool that people have different things they're good it.
It shows that you really do need different types of people to do good and prosper.
Have you ever wanted to do something or say something, but decided to rethink it because you saw the person?

That reminds me of a video I saw where a petite Asian women was being harassed by a bunch of men. She flipped the one guy after he tried to attack her and it was greaaaaat. I think she got in trouble though because the dude had friends and said that she attacked them. >:[
I generally just try to be polite to people since I'm not strong enough to do anything. I've been thinking of taking self defense classes to change that though.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure he landed on his ass for no reason \8u/

I've always wanted to learn martial arts.
My little cousin is in Karate 8U

Honestly, no. I wouldn't say anything horrible to someone.
And if I'm going to say something to someone, I'm going to do it no matter what they look like.
People try to intimidate me because I'm short. I don't give a fuck.

I think some people give off an aura that says not to mess with them.
I don't give that off, but people said they were intimidated by me on this site.
My bestie even said she was scared of talking to me at first ._.

Apparently I seem off-putting irl
Or something. Not entirely sure
It is fun watching someone try to intimidate me with height and see them go "oh shit" when I finally stand up and hey look I'm TALL

Has anyone here ever watched "Malcolm in the Middle"? There's a hilarious bit of advice that the father gives the sons, which is: "Crazy beats big anyday."
XD

I think if you aren't just constantly smiling people might think you look angry.
I remember in high school when I was quite depressed, one of the bus drivers who sorta knew me commented that I looked sad/angry (dont' remember which). I have since tried to make my resting face more neutral and then give someone a smile when making eye contact lol.
@Moi:
I actually want to learn Aikido because it was more designed for women to fend off attackers bigger than them. c: Capoeira looks cool too. I feel like karate just reminds me of brute strength. xD (That I don't have lol.)

Hikarisoul16, I get that a lot too -- "Oh are you okay?" when I'm just thinking neutral or even happy thoughts.
My sister's resting face is what we call her "bitchface". She'll just be thinking and staring around randomly at people, but she's got this wrinkle-nosed kind of grimace and has to constantly be reminded to not make bitchface if she's not feeling bitchy. XD
(Although for at least 60% of the time she IS just a bitch and thinking bitchy thoughts, so hey I guess it's accurate more often than not.)

Lol, I just have gloomy resting face, or something. I don't smile much, and when I do, I don't show my teeth.
I've never really been that intimidated by anyone physically. I do get very intimidated intellectually...like, "woah, this guy speaks seven languages and has had three monographs published and everyone thinks he's a genius, I totally can't speak to him."
