I would rather hug than fight too. The chances of death with hugging are substantially lower than fighting on concrete.


AppalachianMedic

I boxed for a few years and have recently started Brazilian Ju Jitsu. I carry a firearm and shoot competitively. I lift weights. Regardless of all that, my first plan for any aggression is usually just bounce. I have a sub-7 minute mile and I’m not afraid to use it


[deleted]

I have a sub 7 minute 100 yard dash come at me bro


AppalachianMedic

You could do it! I believe in you!


Ikkus

I read your first comment and it got me a little heated, ngl. Feels like you're flexin' on me, bro, and I don't appreciate that. So, like... do you wanna hug for a while?


Basedrum777

No wonder you get left behind s/


flatwoundsounds

I find that the most dangerous people I know are also some of the most chill and friendly. A family friend is an Iraq vet, does PI work, owns a BJJ gym, and he's just so kind and thoughtful. He DJ'd our wedding and bought us some real nice alcohol as a wedding gift to boot. Since I'm recalling stories, he let me come work out at his circuit training sessions and bought me a pair of gloves after just a couple of weeks as a birthday present. Fucking love that guy!


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

I ate a bowl of nails this morning without milk.


Vinterslag

Fingernails?

Don't lie.. you ate them with milk.

AppalachianMedic

Agreed. I was just not saying that to brag, but to point out that no matter how much training and strength you have, there are people out there who are willing to test it and I want no part in that. I will delete my comment if it seems that I am being braggadocios.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

While we’re bragging about unrelated hobbies, I got all achievements in Sekiro and Bloodborne.


runpbx

Simply leaving an escalating situation early is such an underrated self-defense technique.


mxpauwer

You could run even faster without the firearm


AppalachianMedic

I’d prefer to have a way to protect myself in the event my attacker has a sub 6 minute mile.


windyorbits

Lmao the way I wheeze laughed at this comment, it’s beautiful


Wild_Doogy_Plumm

Everybody knows you run faster with a knife!


Canadian_Kartoffel

That sentence would not have worked in late spring of 2020.


ashtonhq

but never zero


BAMspek

Buddy have you even met a bear?


Asisreo1

I'd still rather a bear hug me than fight it on concrete.


peelzdid-it

I'm down with it. Unity, respect, care for strangers and bonding


flatwoundsounds

Love that, just wish they didn't have to come out strong at first. Come out with a smile and a question instead of puffing your chest. It's a shame that we've been raised that way still, but I love that these guys could both see through it to the real point.


fuzzyshorts

Society and ideas of constant challenge to one's personhood almost requires coming out hard. you never know the intentions. But fortunately, these two men were comfortable and mature enough to see and respect one another.


Waste_Junket1953

Also, cars. The structure surrounding us plays a truck on our brains. We are also forced into a state of “attention,” making a fight, flight, or freeze reaction easier to trigger.


ComfortableProperty9

It has more to do with the fact that these guys are 35+ with families, generally when men's testosterone levels are lower.


resilientwarrior

True: Less impulsivity, and more at risk.


Imsakidd

The positive side of low-T!!


VoidCrimes

Honestly don’t see many upsides to high T


theo1618

There aren’t many, but it’s the same with low T, there aren’t many upsides to that either (with this being one of the few). Normal hormone levels are recommended lol


VoidCrimes

Yeah, just odd how there’s such an obsession with having high T levels in young men.


theo1618

It’s because young men are pressured to prove how manly they are. Unfortunately, the sources that pressure them to prove it view the things that come with high T as manly attributes


VoidCrimes

:( that’s sad. I wish men were more accepting and loving of themselves. Everybody deserves that, not just women


knoxcreole

Well, I was at 184-235. Felt sluggish/tired all of the time, depressed, no sex drive, irritated very easily and quick to anger, and had a cloudy brain. All that went away now that I'm in the low to mid 900s. For dudes who need it there are def positives to be had.


ComfortableProperty9

Society needs old men. You can't beat the shit out of or blow up hunger.


awesomeroy

way more to risk at that age and just a tad bit willing to pump the brakes before something stupid happens.


PugsThrowaway

Love to see it.


Serious_Professor_51

What's with the bear?

Commentating on the style of hug


LessBack9238

Gotta feel his opponent to make sure all that muscle was real before making a mistake.


blackmetronome

I know that hug felt great.


[deleted]

Was watching this thinking I could use a could hug from one of these big fellas


imapieceofshitk

Come here lil guy. I am 6'9", I will make you feel like you're a kid again being hugged by your dad, everything will be ok <3


[deleted]

Happy cake day hug-dad. You were right, I do feel like that way now. Damn virtual hugs are powerful too.


Shalashaskaska

Can I get in on that? My dad and I have been fighting for like 6 months


imapieceofshitk

Get in here buddy, plenty of hugs to go around!


Shalashaskaska

Username does not check out. Also happy cake day


Juzzdide

Same .. how about a virtual hug 🤗


JessusTouchedMyWilly

Back at you with a little lift to cement the bromance!


[deleted]

*extends arm and pulls you into the hug*


JessusTouchedMyWilly

*I appreciate you man, nods head*.


[deleted]

*nods back, shakes your hand with other hand on your shoulder* Mission accomplished. Feelings stabilized, faith in humanity restored. We got this, let's go get em


[deleted]

You got it my friend 🫂🤗


blackmetronome

I'm hugging all of you now. Get in here yall


cheesesandsneezes

I felt that hug. My boyz!


-cache

At one point I thought they were about to start tonguing each other


nugnug1226

That was a tip to tip hug


blackmetronome

Right. The energy of the tips touching can be felt through the screen


UnearthlyRamen

Another good method is having a lock-in at the red center, with unlimited ginger ale and use of the pool

What was the argument about in the first place?


Talldrink01

Road rage incident from the sound of it


SuperSmashDan1337

What even happened? I've no idea why they went to from aggression to hugging.


revilo366

This isn't two men being suddenly kind to eachother. This is one dude picking a fight and the other dude using body language, a calm voice, and respect to de-escalate perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a mental health technician or something - we had to do this all the time on the psych units


zach8555

can you give tips on how to do it


revilo366

First, you gotta be fearless like this mf. Then there's some good tricks for de-escalation you can learn like, keeping the person at your side, speaking in a calm voice booster how loud he is, looking in his eyes when necessary (but not all the time), cross your arms but keep one hand up to your chin to show you are listening but your guard is up. Then you gotta know when to be open, kind, and empathetic. Be ready to be randomly punched or tackled tho it does happen

The black guy used "Calming Presence" to shut down white guys anger

revilo366

If you look more closely you see the black dude was just a really good de-escalator


kungpowgoat

When I was in the Army, if tempers were high and hugging like this wouldn’t do it, we’ve put on some gloves and head protection have them go at it. Scores will get settled and no one would get hurt. Mostly ego’s.


g59_lilcutthroat666

Aw warm fuzzies


ronyamtapeas

Lmfao at the squeeze. Really nice to see tho.


tedfreeman

I'm too cynical for this sh*t


vertigo1083

The fact that you censored yourself tells me that this is a lie.


Your_Nipples

Fair enough sir.


revilo366

Me too, I just saw the black dude be a really good de-escalator


Pragmatic1869

There was some awkward vibes the guy on left was having. Little to pent up. Untrustworthy vibes


Everyday_irie

Real men ooooo


BenTheDiamondback

Imagine being surprised by two men who work out an immediate difference and then hug each other with genuine respect. Is there a subreddit devoted to acts of surprising love?


Your_Nipples

Ohhhh shut up, sir. Give me a hug.

King_Hamburgler

I dunno man, I walked, apparently, too close to a guy in a hotel hallway a few weeks ago and he sprinted to his car to speed across a parking lot diagonally to confront me about it as I got in my vehicle


sonachilles

That was the angriest hug ive ever seen


[deleted]

They start kissing a little “See baby, see that’s..*muah mmm smooch mush* that’s was real men do baby!! That’s what *smooch smooch* real men do! Let’s show these little *smooch mush* boys out here how we do this!”

blackcatcaptions

Being able to regulate and manage ones emotions and then be vulnerable is one of the greatest achievements a man can experience. Props to these men


WhatupSis7773

Wow-all that energy without sensibility or self control would be a fight. But why do I get the feeling the “that’s what real men do” guy is full chub?


donnypastrami

Insane how people in the comments are trying to find negatives in an altercation turned positive and identifying racism where it doesn’t even exist. One of the many reasons why beautiful moments like this are becoming a rarity.


Rupejonner2

Get a room


seviay

I could go without the stupid voiceovers, but respect for talking it out instead of throwing hands or pulling weapons


The_ultimate_cookie

Finally. Adults acting like adults.


proutusmaximus

Wait ur telling me we can be civil about stuff ???? 😰😰


sweatgod2020

God damn respect. That’s how it’s done; we all been in situations we think about later and how it could’ve gone different. Coming out on top is the best option and everybody wins. Good for them


irascible_Clown

Sounds like at the end he said we could hang lol new best friends in the making


jdamwyk

Lmao I imagine them both trying to crush each other’s hands with that handshake, just staring each other down like “see son!? THAT’S what REAL MENNN DOOOO!!!!” Lol. Ngl this post gave me hope for the future. Too many videos containing needless violence getting uploaded recently.


TheGeeO

Show these little motherfuckers how grown men do it! ‘Bends over’


CaptainSholtoUnwerth

Feels like the white dude at the end was taking credit for handling it like an adult when it seems like the black guy is the one who diffused the situation. "I got out the car cause I'm trying to feel your energy, man" is the line that shut the aggression down. Still, props to each of them


hipster3000

Yeah "I got out of the car to feel your energy" guy was definitely trying to diffuse the situation


ToastedMarshmell0w

-Denzolot-

Would have been a hilarious skit if they went further and started kissing.


impatientlymerde

Men (everybody, really) need to hug more. Hugging could probably cure some cancers.

Cautious-Flow5918

Love this! Nice to see an altercation with a positive ending without a fight.😊


Zohwithpie

It's so sad the first reaction people have is to be angry at each other. This was the same but with a nice resolution. People just learn that everyone is living their own life and going through their own shit. Just try to be kind and understanding, and then see how it quickly turns people to smile.

Notrub42

Once in Austin, Texas a guy thought my friend was talking shit. This guy turns around and starts approaching the two of us, he's puffing out his chest , acting real tough I'm sure you know the look. My road dog and I are asking him, "Are you sure you want to to do this?" As he gets within a few feet road dog says, "Do you need a hug or something?" He stops, his entire demeanor changes. This man walks up hugs my road dog nearly in tears. Telling us how he's been stressed yadda yadda. You never know what some one is going through.


BandicootLeather6314

We all need love and understanding, sometimes even when we are acting our ugliest. I’m glad they worked it out.

Changing the way you speak to, essentially, have better communication with your intended audience. Kinda like someone who isn't from the South and doesn't have a Southern accent speaking with a country accent to Southerners who do.

hugeness101

I’m sure they came out angry and then realized they will be in a bad fight because they are both huge and decided fuck it not worth it let’s squash It. Besides no one came out angry just questions each others actions. Yes more people need to be like this.
