    It depends on the situation. If I know I'm gonna go down, I tend to take the nearest exit. If I'm caught by surprise, I'll stand my ground. If someone I love or care about is in danger, I'll try to get them out of danger, even if it puts me at risk. If I think I can handle my own, I'll go toes. So, that's 3/4 for fight, and one for flight.

  • I'm more likely to run from a fight than to take part in it. I don't like being part of fights, to be honest.

  • Run. As. Fast. As. Possible.

    I seriously can't imagine getting involved in a fight, but if the chance did arise I'd either be curled up on the floor in the foetal position begging for my life or running away as fast as I can. Depends on the circumstances, is all!

  • Run! I just can't fight back, not physically or mentally. I'm too weak to stand up for myself. :/ Pathetic? Maybe a bit.

    I will not start a fight, but I will finish one.

    So, I will fight not run.

  • Depends on the situation. If I don't think I can win, run. Otherwise, fight.

    Really, I'd probably only ever run if they actually had a weapon.

  • Are you currently listening to The Wall? Or is it just my imagination? XD

    It all depends on what the danger is, and what's at stake. If my honor or my dignity is on the line, I'd probably fight back. But if it's a rabid dog or some aliens chasing me, I'd probably Run Like Hell. XD

    Fights? Been in plenty of them before but they have never turned to destructive violence. Sure I may have a bad ass mouth in the situation, but I will not sit there and be pushed around. One thing most wouldn't know is never to mess with me in a bad situation.

  • I am most likely to fight, you can call me stupid for this, but I have had a gun pulled on me and trust me, the gun WAS loaded, and I didnt back off, and I won :) My body is weird, anytime I get hit, it numbs taht part of the body, I've been punched by guys 2-3 times my size in the face, I didnt feel a thing, i've had my nose and lip busted, laughed for 30 minutes because this guy said he beat my *** cause he did so, but I did not feel a thing, so because of this, I am a fighter, since pain does not really affect me, I see no need to run, I've been shot at, stabbed, jumped, hit with 2x4's, and I still kept going, luckily I am not stupid enough to start the fights so I can always use the self defence excuse, :) cause I know when to stop, when they are on the ground and you hit them, that excuse is out of the question, but still, not to rant, I will never run, I will fight

  • It depends on what's going on. If there's a fight at school, I'm going to walk away, as I don't want to get caught in trouble and risk getting a suspension or anything like that.

    If it's outta school, I'll fight back. I can fight, so of course I'll do it.

  • Run, for sure. I'm a total lightweight and cannot even imagine myself in any sort of fight. Even if it's not physical, I tend to shy away from conflict and will do my best to end an argument so it doesn't escalate to a shouting match or something. I can't really envision any situation where I'd be likely to stick around if there's a big fight.

    Three threads with an almost similar question..anyway; it depends really, what sort of situation I'm in, if it's a fact that I'm going to get killed and/or bruised badly, I do the intelligent thing. Though, with people I'd stay firm and fight back. Even though I don't remember anyone who's wanted to pick a fight with me since forever..

    Depends, if I know I can overcome it, I'll go for it, but, if I know I can't, I'll flee. If I'm not sure, I'll test it a bit and see how it fares, and then once I become more confident, I'll take it on.
