Just thought about it today, and I believe many people have different opinions about this, lets learn from each other.
I noticed lately that (I see it a lot among teenagers) people (guys mostly, I believe) have power struggles. I do not necessarily mean physically, although it just might develop into that. I do believe a lot of it among teenagers is the mix of testosterone and the need to impress the opposite sex. When I say power struggles I mean that someone is trying to show force using words, actions, behavior and physical punishment toward some other guy. He is trying to show he is stronger than the other guy/s (again, not necessarily physically) in different ways like I bolded above.
The thing that intrigues is by the different people behavior towards someone who is trying to show force towards them. Some people might just ignore, some will fight back and give up, some will fight back and will not give up so easily, some will be a "sponge" and will absorb all the punishment coming towards them without any reaction.
Do you think that the guy who is so eager to show force is actually strong? Maybe he tries to show force because he doesn't actually feel strong so he tries to create that feeling from looking and behaving tough?
The guy who will act like a "sponge", does it necessarily come from insecurity or he just might know better than having power struggles with other guys and/or he is strong and he knows that, so he doesn't feel the need to show it and resist. (of course there are "sponges" who don't react from insecurity in them self)
If I had to say about myself, and I am meeting that not a bit with people acting like this towards me and I see towards other people. Sometimes its with people I have relations with. I believe it is mostly based about impression on the other sex. (teenagers..) I usually respond in a way that "I have no time for your ****, mate".
I believe I am strong, there is not one person in my school who im afraid of. I am not afraid of getting beaten and I am not afraid of fighting back, although I am afraid of breaking someone's arm or dislocate it. (note that people in my school aren't actually violent and our violent rate is very low in our school)
Say what you think about this scenarios among men, about the aggressor and the defender/sponge. Who is the actual strong guy and who is with the "pose"? Can someone will actually show force from INSECURITY? anything that comes to mind, share it.
Edit: Thanks Tenzo, forgot to mention that. I am not completely passive. I stop being passive at the moment it actually becomes physically offensive, when it repeats itself and when he goes overboard with it.
