who out of dp or you would end up dead first? I think my lovely dp cos he is soft and I am vicious.

........what a strange question

Depends. Does the life-threatening event involve spiders? I would certainly survive, I can run pretty fast for a fat lass if imperiled. However, 'tis a moot point for my DP lives in a different country and any event likely to kill both of us would be global and thusly we'd all be dead. I'm thinking the inevitable day coming when the machines become self aware.

I'd win.

Dp is stronger but I fight dirty.

The bloke I am seeing now has said that in the event of a zombie apocalypse he would die first before letting me die.

It's luff.

^^ Maybe he just wants to eat your brain

It would very much depend on what exactly we were fighting against/what the event was.
My DH is big and strong, but very easy going and it takes a lot to get him irate. Once he does though, when he blows, he blows
Me, otoh, am quite physically weak, but if you want to stab me, you need a bloody BIG knife as I am covered in at least 4-6 inches of fat over everything vital, and I WILL bite out your throat if I have to, and I am fairly fatalistic and prepared to do what I have to do, especially if my loved ones are threatened.
I have a pretty well worked out Zombie Plan too, and alternatives for various other EOTW disasters and unless it's a disease that gets us all, my family would come through just about anything and at least stand a chance of survival because I think about these things far too much and am Just.That.Sad

5foot5 Arf! Well it is a bit tasty...

DH is strong but I'm small and like summerRain I fight dirty. So probably me.

DH is taller, stronger and fitter.

I'd be stuffed.

DH is much stronger and bigger, but I feel like I'm more capable of doing anything to survive. Maybe I've just seen too much Walking Dead...

See - and this isn't just zombie related - my oh reckons no matter how much stronger he is to me I would just fight visciouser (I know its not a word}

Hmm, I reckon we would both fare equally well. My DP. much like PomBear's is tall, strong, placid, but can only be pushed so far before he blows. He is also logical and resourceful. I am scrappy. When I was younger, I worked in pubs and nightclubs, and I was always the one to fling myself in the middle of a row. I once pinned a huge bloke to the wall when he tried to bottle another staff member.

I am also calm in a crisis. You would never think it, as I get stressy about the small stuff, but I am very calm in a crisis. I have experienced this twice; once when I was 12, and a child was knocked down right outside my house. All of the adults were flapping around, and I was straight on the phone to the emergency services, describing exactly what had happened. Again, a few years ago, when I was staying in a friend's house. We were out back having a cigarette, and went back in to find the sitting room in flames. I have always been terrified of fire, used to have nightmares about it when I was little. One friend ran right out the front door, the other stood in the hall yelling up the stairs at her husband, and I ran to the kitchen to drench every towel in water and chuck it on the fire.

I reckon DP would strategise, whereas I would just maul the face off anyone who would dare to even try to harm us. Just one reason that we are perfect for each other .

Hmm depends, I'm a wuss so if it involved aliens or zombies I'd hide in the loft with lots of tablets and a couple of bottles of wine and die a slightly more peaceful death than brains being eaten etc. DH very resourceful and has a mean nasty streak if needed, he'd be fine and save his ds and our dd.

Probably me. DH is physically stronger than me, but he would fight fair I reckon. I am another rip their throat out with my teeth dirty fighter.
I imagine my 11 YO DD would stand a good chance too.

me probably - although they ( whoever they are ) would probably want to take out dh as he would be the biggest threat and the seven dogs first as they would be the problem

If they get past dh & seven big french mastiffs then i would stand no chance

Me. I'm cool enough to consider all the options - my husband would go off half-cocked.

Reminds me of the joke about special forces wanting to recruit women. They come to the final test - give her a pistol and tell her she needs to go in to a room and shoot dead her husband. What she doesn't know is that the gun isn't loaded - they just want to know how far she'll go. They hear screaming from the room and after a few minutes she returns - "fucking gun wouldn't work so I had to beat him to death with a chair".

PS I'm sorry. - I am the worst joke teller in the world.

more viciously

If we both believed that it really was a "fight or die" situation, and if we were being attacked equally, DP is larger and stronger and better at running than me, and has done karate.

The question is what it would take for us to think that we actually needed to "fight for our lives".

me

I'm actually thinking about taking up archery lessons.

So I can be as cool as Katniss Everdean

Oh and somewhat useful too...

Hec

me

Me. DH is a panicker. I would have grabbed DH and thrown him into the path of the zombie and be out of there before he stopped freaking out enough to know what was happening.

DH would be dead first, even though he is bigger, better at fighting and more ruthless, because he would sacrifice himself for me.

(At least, I think so. I'm not going to read my post to him to check, though, just in case.)
