Today, me and my girlfriend went paintballing. I made sure we were on the same team, so I could protect her and be manly. The first time she got shot was by me, I shot her finger. It broke. FML

I also disagree with 13. You crazy feminist bitches need to realize that the majority of women do not agree with your beliefs that men are somehow inferior now. I like it when my husband 'protects' me from things. It's a NICE feeling. Doubt you'll ever experience that sort of thing from your lesbian partner.

she must be pissed... howd you do it? accidental or tryin to be funny?

how many fps were u shooting, unless ur really close and shooting at like more than 300 fps it shuldnt break

#13, 14: Okay. Since you obviously have no conception of how the mind of any half-chivalrous guy works, let's set something straight. As women who describe themselves as "strong" and "independent" and who claim chivalrous behavior to be "sexist," you would do well to remember this: complaining about chivalrous activity is BY FAR the most effective way of ensuring that you will NEVER be able to hold down a steady relationship with a nice, considerate guy. In fact, the "big, macho, manly guys" that you claim to hate so much will be the only ones that will ever be willing to put up with that. They will not open doors for you, they will not give you flowers, and no, they will not volunteer to "protect you" in a paintball match. Do you honestly think it's because they respect how "strong" and "independent" you are? Sorry, but that's bullshit. It's because *they don't really care about you.* Period. I have never known ANY guy who opened a door for a girl do so because he honestly thought she was weak or couldn't get the door for herself. If you've ever known a single guy who actually believed that, feel free to give me his name and address and I'll be glad to introduce his face to a tire iron. But I know full well you won't be able to, because that kind of guy does not exist. Guys don't act chivalrous because they genuinely think that you can't get by in life without them. They act chivalrous because they enjoy being providers. It's a difficult feeling to convey, primarily because chivalry in those forms aren't generally reciprocated identically by women, but rest assured there is nothing quite like doing something kind for a woman and seeing her smile that adorable, shy smile - the one that we know is reserved just for us. But if you want to think of that as sexist, by all means, continue to delude yourselves. Maybe pick up some stuff by Germaine Greer while you're at it.

Wise words Diosjenin, well spoken!

well, paintballs hurtttttt so the theory that one COULDn'T break your finger is out of the question, and if she loves you, she'll understand it was an accident :D at least you didn't shoot her eye out. and for all of you screaming sexist, he probably didn't even realize he was making a sexist comment by saying "trying to be all manly and protect her".

@ OP: Safety on at ALL times before the 3, 2, 1, GO. Barrel bag on any time before that. No exceptions. As the few paintball players on here have already said, the sport is NOT THAT BAD. Poor, unsafe practices such as your are what bring the sport to its low standards and scare many potential good players away. However, be kind and take care of your lady. As long as it was an accident and she is caring she'll forgive you as long as you're by her side throughout this. Opposed to #13, you CAN pamper her for a while; she'll enjoy it and will take it as a deep apology for what you did.
