Scary Bar Situation
 

I was debating posting this because I don't think I handled it in the best way possible. I'll give the results later.

So I'm in a bar in Metro Manila, Philippines 2 nights ago. At the table next to me is the hottest 17 year old ever. I'm only 19 so...

She looked like Jessica Alba. We start talking and her friend is actually helping me out. She shows me a picture of her boyfriend and I ask her if she thinks I'm much better looking than him - both of them agree.

We keep talking and drinking and I get her number. We leave the bar and we makeout real quick and then I get pulled violently to the ground.

I get up and some guy I didn't recognize (I soon realized it was her boyfriend) is yelling at me in a mixture of english and Tagalog. I get up real fast (it seemed fast), and throw/trip him to the ground in a fit of alcoholic rage. This is in front of a group of 5-7 people about 20 feet across from the bar so not in plain view.

Mind you, I haven't said I single thing yet but I have realized who it was.

He gets back up with this evil grin on his face, and reaching into his pocket. He pulls out a butterfly knife and loads it up... I'm 6'3 165 so I'm not very big. Villain is about 140 5'8. I don't have a lot of fight experience... none facing a deadly weapon and I'm in a third world country with someone who might also be in an alcoholic rage..

Your move if you were me?

Results to come.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Uhhh, at the very least back up slowly?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

RUN! or get stabbed. Either work.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

He's about 5 feet away from me. The two girls are watching from the street corner.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Take said Jessica Alba hostage and grab on her [censored] while you taunt the nutcase. At this point, pull out your 9 with your gloved hand, put it in Jessica's hand, and have her pull the trigger. Game Over

Just ask yourself:

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Did you think it was weird that she showed you a picture of her boyfriend?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Eventually you're gonna tell us what the "right answer" (read as: exactly what you did) is, so stop the stupid grandstanding and just edit your story to include an ending.

If this were a choose your own adventure, we'd be rooting for you to get cut up.

[turn to page 171]

You don't back up fast enough, and crazy knife-wielding Alpay guts you. You bleed out in an alley.

THE END

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

When we were talking, the conversation got to the point of BF/GFs. She asked me if I had one and I said no then I asked her and she showed me him on her cell phone.

We're outside the bar mind you when the fight broke out.

running sounds pretty good.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

I'm not sure how anything but wussing out can be considered an option.

There are multiple right answers douchebag... But ones that can keep your pride intact unlike what I did..

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

stall him until the cops show up?

if he charges you before they get there, side step him, wrap your shirt around his knife arm, grap his forearm and twist/snap it backwards at the elbow, he will fall to his knees, then you put your foot on his neck and press it to the ground while making out with his girlfriend.

You should reconsider your sources of self-esteem.

edit: also, why are you hanging out in Manila bars by yourself?

This sounds like a move from "A History of Violence."

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Run like hell.

This might be a good answer, except there are practically 0 cops in the Philippines. BUT... plenty of taxi cabs. I saw a line of like 3 of them coming in this direction. So I calmly hailed one got in and told him to drive..

Now the question is - Can I call this girl again and what do I say after wussing out like that?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Um, no? I think I'll pass on the option that leads to her boyfriend stabbing me in my sleep on page 204. Hit something else.

How very anticlimactic.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Parliament,

Step towards him. As he goes for a strike, block his knife arm to the side, spin around, grab and turn his wrist aikido-style. He will drop the knife and go to the ground. Calmly pick up the knife and put it in your back pocket. He will most likely run at this point. If he attacks again, put him to the ground again and this time snap his arm. Take a long sweeping glance around the scene, briefly holding eye contact with anyone who dares stare. Find the girl and leave with her.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Diablo,

Your advice as always is spot on. The only part I disagree with is "find the girl and leave with her", she'll be standing right next to him along with 5 of her equally hot friends.

way to break the ice with such a normal question


edit: although i guess wtf is one supposed to say when she shows you a picture of her boyfriend? regardless, your question seemed a bit bizarre

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Ideally I would sprint away, but Im a slow sprinter and would probably get stab'ed in the back. So I would just try to back away facing him and prepare to give up an arm to the knife and try to grab it from him.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

You plan to call her again? LOL

Why dont you just do a big jump spinning kick that will KO him instead?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Obviously the correct answer is to run home, post on a poker message board non stop, sleep and then. finally get to this story.

He is the one that didnt want to fight you straight up and had to use a weapon. That is the puss move. Maybe if he had 2 knives of equal size and gave you 1 of them you could make some argument that you wussed out, but knife fighting over nothing is stupid.

That really was the funniest part of this whole thing. OP, please realize that if you call her again to get together, her boyfriend will probably show up as well.

Which one do you think he is?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

I think OP should call the girl and set up a date in a dark park somewhere with her.

And post a trip report.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

This girl isnt a virgin anymore right? Parliament shouldnt you be off trying to get 15 year olds drunk so you can brag online about how you took a girl's virginity through statutory rape? I understand this girl is also underrage and you are also getting her drunk, but she isnt a virgin, what gives?

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Drinking age is 16 here Skip. I'm not going to pursue it anymore but yea, next time I'll know how to defend myself better. It was just sad that I was so much bigger than the guy yet I couldn't get the balls to fight him because of the knife. The thought of being gutted wasn't very appealling.

Wishing you had fought a guy with a knife who seems intending to use it isn't about not having balls. It's about not having brains.

Re: Scary Bar Situation
 

Call his bluff, he cant kill you with a knife, besides, its not like he had a gun, break his [censored] arm and then take it from him

Yeah, no one has ever died from being stabbed. Especially in a 3rd world country. Whenever I am attacked outside of a bar and have a knife drawn on me I figure the guy is bluffing.

Anyone who's fought a lot have any type of predictions? I do have a good 8 inches on him... I'm just curious - I'm now pretty confident that saving my ass was the right move even if I was a 99% sure thing.
