Oh ahah, yeah I have seen that video in like, the last year, but uh... basically, in the actual show, he just says the first line, not everything after it.

Which, yes, is hilarious, but in the original show and context of that scene...

Spike is basically just saying that he very much respects a woman who can physically fight, who can pose an actual challenge to him, and who has the uh, 'balls', for lack of a better term, to be confident enough to think they could win.

So yeah... I'm trying to say that I ... share that kind of either... masochism, or kink, or... preference.

Like I said, used to be a karateka. Karate is traditionally co-ed. In training, you get matched up by relative skill, experience, rank and body size.

Tournaments are often different, but in the Dojo?

Sex/Gender is unimportant, beyond differing kinds of protective gear. Everyone is held to and judged by the same standards.

I've kicked the asses of and had my ass kicked by both men and women.

Let me tell you, only time I've ever actually been KO'd, in any setting, ever, was a woman's roundhouse kick to my temple, in the Dojo, in a training match.

Kinda hard to not respect that, lol.

The street scuffles I've been in were child's play in comparison to kumite practice bouts, that woman was a more formidable, legitimate opponent than that gaggle of drunk and high frat dudes, one of whom I tanked his hit to my skull...

I maunevered myself into a gas station, to use the aisles to limit possible angles of attack and number of simultaneous attackers, to get the gas station clerk to call the police, and eventually threaten to pull out a firearm.

There was no possible way I could physically defeat all of them, not without escalating to lethality, which would have been insane and highly risky in many ways... but I could at least deny them the ability to physically defeat me... run the clock, basically, scare them off.

Pretty sure they later crashed their car while fleeing, got arrested.

Thats a win in my book, lol.

... that's what I'm trying to convey when I say "I love a woman who will just actually kill me."

Its... a kind of respect, as much as it is just a kind of attraction.

Can you guess that I'm also not sure if I am... more attracted to, or afraid of / intimidated by... Motoko Kusanagi, were she somehow a real person?

Ahem, anyway, I'll try to cover the rest now:

No worries about the syntax thing, I'm not offended lol.

I am glad you did like the dom attempt, but also I get that you don't wanna do that here, lol, totally respectable.

Like I said elsewhere, I was basically at the stage of being 'pouty mad', by which I more directly mean: You are very appealing in many ways, so much so that this literally frustrates me.

So, I was whining that I wasn:t getting the kind of attention / validation I wanted, though at least hopefully in a self-aware way, hahah!

As to the concussion?

Well, why do we get knocked down?

To get back up again.

I'm glad you survived, it easily could have blinded or even killed you.

And I am again impressed by the resolve your relative nonchalance about the whole affair... seems to indicate.
