    Who said anything about prevailing or winning? I said fighting back I never said winning.

        So what you are saying is…

        Since I would probably lose the fight and get my ass handed to me but I wouldn’t just sit there, then that means I’m tough and cool?

        Interesting take.

        You have a good night.

          Feeling compelled to tell internet strangers that you would never lose consciousness or composure if you were ambushed by someone seated next to you while you were restrained at the waist means you’re definitely very tough, very cool, and very experienced in hand to hand combat.
