I think some miscers in here don't have a realistic view of the situation.
Taking a bullet for someone in this case is not like Sinbad diving in front of the president's son in First Kid.
It's not some epic moment where you weigh your own life against your girlfriend's, and make the choice to face certain doom.
when bullets are flying and ****s crazy up in Batman, most men would have the instinct to get on top of their girl, or their kid, or any kid, girl, or even a delicately built twink. A bullet is probably more likely to hit me if I'm covering my girlfriend, than if I'm fleeing the theater with human shields. But that beats sitting by, munching on my movie popcorn, while my girlfriend gets her brains splattered because she was in harms way. If you're so self-interested that you wouldn't even share a little of your own chance of survival with your girlfriend, then you're a little bitch

Did I say it was? Anybody talking about what they would have done in that situation is just blowing hot air, and yours is especially rancid, hot air my friend. There is only what you hope you can do in a situation like that.

I don't give a **** what she does when I'm dead. Of course I'd hope she'd live a respectable decent life in my honor, but even if she didn't, it wouldn't change my decision.
If you want to look at it another way, I'm not doing it for her. I'm doing it for myself because I would never forgive myself for letting someone I care about die.

Well, one of them was apparently in the military and told his parents that he dreamed of one day protecting someone with his life.
If you are trained in the military you are supposed to be able to ignore survival mode (thats basically what all the drills and shouting in your face stuff is about, to free you from shock paralysis).
But I agree that I as a civilian would have probably just ran off. However, we were discussing chances of survival and in that case my point still stands. Covering your gf with your back to the shooter guarantees lowest chance of survival.

No, I'm saying I would take a possibly higher chance of dying to protect this girl (who hasn't phucked other guys at the current time, only in hypothetical future), because if she is in danger I would be a scumbag not to do something.
Only on the misc does "phucking other guys" sit in the foreground during a debate about heroism and self-sacrifice.
Would it put you at ease if we changed the girl to a kid or a dog? Or would we just start arguing about the kid spending your money and the dog ****ting on the floor?

these crazy public shooting mofos ........ever notice they are all beta *******s with no friends and are probably sexually frustrated. Amazing what a gym membership and a gf might have done for these crazy mofos.
although aparently the inmates in the prison are talking about killing him alot.....so there is something to cheer for....if they need a toothbrush to sharpen into a weapon to stab that sicko with I will gladly send one.

When did we evolve beyond that? I don't like using the terms alpha and similar, that's why I put the terms in italic, but it's quite clear that we haven't evolved so quickly outside of the male = protector thing. Again, be in a situation of trouble and your true instincts will come out.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Sorry bro, but this is wrong. I was in the military and that definitely wasn't something they taught. How to make your bed, shine your boots, do your uniform and all that, yeah, but as far as ignoring the basic human elements of oneself, nah, that's some special forces type sh**.
