I overhear this conversation amongst guys so much and they’re always so invested. Sometimes even arguing about it. Why do ya’ll talk about this so much? Is this like an equivalent to women gossiping? lol
Men discussing animals they can take in a fight?

If they seriously believe they can take on a Chimpanzee or a Bear with just their bare hands. More than likely they are delusional and somehow believe it makes them come off as more masculine or confident. When it just makes them sound stupid.
As a guy I always find it odd and just perceive said guy as just being fucking stupid.
No not at all… if they are talking about seriously taking a bear in a fight, you only heard two idiots try rub their shared brain cell against itself.
It’s a ridiculous thing to argue. I’m 6′ 185lbs. Over 25 years martial arts training. A bobcat will seriously fuck you up. A feral housecat or medium size dog will for that matter.
To answer your question I think is mostly because is fun to chat shit.
Because it’s fun
>Is this like an equivalent to women gossiping?
Yes.
Seriously….
Fighting is fun, and thinking of fighting is even more fun due to no risk involved lol
Its not that common for me and my friends that its a discussion, but I think of it occasionally.
For example I saw an interview with a guy who rode a bike through a mountain area and was jumped by a mountain lion (?) and he fought it off to tell the tale. Then I wonder if I could do that.
Or when they shot Harambe I wondered if I could have jumped in the exhibit and gotten the kid out (no fight here)
Or I saw a video of a people hiking and they were approached by a HUGE elk/moose. He had a shovel or something and suddenly raised it above his head with both arms to make himself as big as possible and yelled, the animal actually ran off.
The gist of it is: what if you are thrown in an unfavorable situation where you possibly come out as a hero
Its similar to daydreaming about ‘what if terrorists/bank robbers/etc suddenly attack the place where im at, what would I try to do’ which apparently is way more common in men than women. Basically imagine yourself as the protagonist of an action movie
I prefer the hypothetical animal vs animal arguments. Honey badger vs wolverine, who ya got?
I’ve had that conversation and I’m a woman, it’s just fun to chat about shit that doesn’t really matter but you can still get pretend invested in
Do you hang out with 10-year-olds?
I, 45m, have never heard this conversation in my life.
