These situations are best measured by mitigating risk and analyzing motivation.

You did part 1 perfectly. The risk of 3-on-1 is not worth the reward of having your wife swoon over your dead corpse.

Part 2 is worth mentioning. For 3 grown men in this day and age to have the balls to make comments to a woman who is clearly with another man means they were prepared for the consequences.

"Prepared" means ready to go. You chose well.

Tell your wife eat a hornet.

I have a different take on this situation.

what he should have done was go over to the entrance of the movie theather and called thoes boys *ussies ( make sure your standing in view of the camera that all movie /store fronts have nowdays).and take the beating like a man then he could sue the movie theater for not having proper security,and the boys or their parents for assulting him. and anybody else he could blame.


maybe if he had a permitt to carry a 45 acp there would not be a problem .

maybe if his wife wasn't an evil bi*ch he wouldn't have a problem.

maybe if she dressed properly there wouldn't have been a problem.

before you women jump all over that last statment think of it this way if her dressing risky(for lack of a better term)is making him feel bad shouldn't she want to compromise or is this another double standard if a husband dose domething that make her wife feel bad isn't he supost consider her feelings?

me personaly I would have confronted them. by saying wich one of you pu$$ys want to try me first.

most time people like this are just airbags and don't really have the balls to back up their loud mouths. if if they all rushed me then the 45 comes out.

its always best to be perpared!! hollow points leave a nasty mark.

I was in a similar situation about 2 months ago. I caught on early before the stupid cat calls started. Saw two guys staring hard at my wife. As in for more than 20 seconds as we walked from the resturaunt to my car. I just grabbed her hand and said "what's up fellas? Get a good look". Wife laughed, other patrons making their way in laughed. Went on with our night.

You both sound like you have issues with respecting each other. She calls you a coward, you tell her she dresses like a ****. How can you guys expect to resolve issues when that's how you talk to each other?

In reality, I would ignore them. There is a saying "An armed society is a polite society", and I believe in being polite. There is no need to stir the hornet nest on this one if they are just being verbal without being vulgar.

I might make an appreciative comment to the guys like "Yeah and I get to take her home". Disarm them verbally.

In all seriousness I am ready and willing to defend myself and my family against a real threat. My family doesn't feel unprotected. A couple of jerky comments is not a real threat.

So your suggestion is to "Act like a man" and take a beating in an effort to sue the movie theater? Oh. My. God. You know what women hate MORE than cowards........grifters. Wow.

I did not bring up the dress thing because some folks like to go off on tangents about it but it does matter. The extreme matters. A woman can dress sexy and should not be in fear of unwanted comments. That said, if she is dressing like a real skank then that is less than helpful.

Depending on the circumstances I might do the same thing but I would be prepared to escalate.

The first thing is to know where you are. If you hang out near ignorant people you get ignorant things happening.

So if your woman is sporting her lower back tattoo with a skirt that shows the bottom of her butt cheeks and she can't keep her girls inside her top then maybe just maybe there is some added risk for comment. You just better be ready for MMA night anytime you are out ....

Grifters. Nice. Bravo.

Do grifters hang out with skanks?

Um, yeah. The difference being he had no issue with her dressing like that when they left the house, only AFTER his manhood was called in to question. Nice try though.

Nice try to get me to defend him or her. I am not. I am suggesting that the decision was made when they left the house. Was this one of those meat market movie theatres?

You always go to the extremes, so you tell me. All places are meat markets and women just need to cover up, from the ankle up, once they are married.
Do you also line your baseball cap with tin foil on the inside and out? Do you get better reception?

As a woman, I would expect my husband to be mature and either ignore them or make some flippant comment like - "Yep, I'm one lucky man!" and leave it at that.

I'm a strong believer in if you dress in things that are going to get attention, it's because you want attention. You wife needs to grow up and bit and realize that violence solves nothing.

If the men made an attempt to touch me, that would be a different story... but even then... 3 on 1 make my flight response kick in. I don't want to end a good evening with police and ambulances.

He wrote that he has not physically fought for her and that she is independent. Both are true for my wife and I, yet I have stood up for her physically and verbally.

I have also seen a woman criticize her boyfriend for standing up for her, because she "wasn't a little girl and could take care of herself." I want to know whether the OP has made any attempts to stand up for his wife in the past.

I have been know to wear a propeller top with tin foil. Yes, there are pictures. The pyramid shape is the best though. Tin foil in an anechoic chamber is the best.

Sorry I was always taught to analyze circumstances by testing the extremes along with the continuum in between. Extermes can be more fun. I mean is that not what many posters want? To see what the TAM folks will do with a given situation?

I was not serious about the meat market.

My point is that if this was the typical movie theatre I take my wife to I would probably not be worried about safety or too much big trouble in little china going on. You know ... errand boys for the wingcong. Anyway, given that I would have engaged. I guess it would depend on how my T level was that evening. If my wife was looking especially good to me, it would probably be elevated.
