Insistence

About the below, one time a tall girl friend (not girlfriend) of mine asked me to really wrestle her because she wanted to know what she could do against a guy. She was a good bit taller than me, outweighed me by a little, and was more athletic than I am or ever will be. I told her that it was probably not a good idea as I’d probably hurt her by accident.

She insisted. I told her no again. She insisted again so I agreed.

The wrestling match lasted about seven seconds. I pinned her absurdly easily, despite her outweighing me and being taller than I am. I was just vastly stronger. After, she said she had no idea just how much stronger I was than her because she was taller than I am and as mentioned outweighed me.

Certainly part of it was that I am just more comfortable with violence than she was. I am very fast and very decisive when it’s time to act. But most of it was that I was twice as strong as she was, or nearly so.

And no, I didn’t hurt her, mainly because I was still holding back. She was my friend. If it’d been a real fight I would’ve taken her down even more quickly.
