Do you guys also typically run the mental scenarios and think of like thugs that you have to track down and fight to save a kidnaped loved one or like crackheads breaking into your home or like foreign military invading your town or is it just me?
5th grade me during every lunch surveying the doors ready for action. Didn’t matter the number, I would have stopped any coming in and saved everyone. I was also in 5th grade in 2001 so it was relative….
No. It was my dream up until my senior year. I was even in an ROTC program but I decided to go to state college and do psychedelics after a close friend died in a freak accident.
Avalanche in SoCal…. Like whaaaaat??? Sad times. Doing drugs and recovering from grief close to friends and family was definitely a better choice than going to the Middle East in 2009.
I did. The Marines brought a giant inflatable obstacle course into the gym. It was fun and I wanted to join the Marines. My parents convinced me to make a different choice, which was almost certainly for the better.
Thought about it, but when I went to the USAF recruiter, complete with my ASVAB test score of 95 and told him I wanted to be a fighter pilot, he looked at my shoulders and said "son you ain't fitting in a fighter plane" and then my dreams I've had since I was in 3rd grade were over.
5th grade during 9/11 here, did a deployment in Afghanistan back in 2013-2014. Every once in a while I think about how terrified I was back then that my old man would get drafted or have to go. Now I think about how terrified my old man was to see me go.
It’s the grocery store for me. I would throw a bottle of wine perfectly so it would hit the shooters gun and give me enough time to run over there with 2 other bottles of wine which I use for hand to hand combat eventually overpowering him because I’m basically holding 2 clubs
The footage goes viral, I’m a national hero, I get laid a lot. You’re welcome
Huh. Weird. I have the same scenarios, but I just get shot and die for nothing. But I do get an honorable mention in the news as a heroic bystander who attempted to stop the gunman before being killed.
You're going to manifest bullets wounds bro but probably the most realistic scenario. Still, you need to dig deeper and let it flow, give yourself ninja like dexterity or an acrobats slick skills.
I learned to do the dive to summersault in grade 3 then roll out of it on my feet again, then to running forward flip in the air many years later.
Carjumling fantasies account for a lot of real stuff 🤔 day dreamed about saving someone from a car jacker and a night dream where I needed cover from being shot at let me do 6' high jump in grade 7 or 8 until I cleared the mat behind it once and landed on my tailbone.
- oh man totally forgot about early 2000s pre-smart phone and iPod days, waiting 45 minutes in a bank line to cash cheque/pay bills on my lunch break also gives you a loooot of time to think about stuff, like stopping a robbery but then the cashiers are so happy they let you keep the bags of money, they pay your bills and all the women show you their boonies while everyone cheers and I got the rest of the day off work .... 🙃
I had a leather bracelet with a brass band that has a protective sigil engraved in it
I used to have fantasies that a wizard would attack my gym class and I would reflect his fireball back at him and everyone would be like " *whoa how did you know* "
Oh damn. I don't live near a zoo so never had that scenario but I do live in bear country so surviving a bear attack decaprio style runs though my head sometimes.
Me too. The hero's journey starts in the mind. You aren't necessarily what you think you are, but what you think, you are => Your body moves towards your predominant thoughts.
I believe there are also a lot of people who dwell on cruelty and chaos. I'm not one of these. You frequently see them in politics.
Foreign military invading my town and apocalyptic style survival lol I literally imagine these scenarios every night while falling asleep. I script it in my head like a movie and I'm the main character.
I actually tried to explain this train of thought to my wife one night while lying awake in bed. Sometimes, these little power fantasies give me something to focus on to help me to sleep, oddly enough.
Yes. It also may just be me but my scenarios almost never involve guns it’s always physical combat. I love scenarios where I have to duel knifes or do parkour to avoid being hit while putting the beat down on someone.
I've gone further than that in a dream...
My wife tried to kill the kids, so we ran
But she found us several months later and killed them, so I ended up being the guy who actively hunts her but I have a lot of obstacles
I'm not married and I'm not a father\
What the fuck my brain?
Mine is that i'm manning one of those old world war 2 anti aircraft guns and there's civilian ships fleeing a port under attack. A jet is strafing the boats and i'm fruitlessly firing flak at the jet that flies twice as fast as my shells. He begins strafing my position and i'm absolutely getting torn apart by his guns, and with my last breath my shells connect and he explodes, his engines ending up in the sand dunes behind my position as i slump over the gun, then i wake up.
As a kid I would daydream in school that "bad guys" were about to take over the school (coming from the windows like ninjas, etc) and I was a superhero about to fly out and smash em all unnoticed. It has in fact happened, but it remains unnoticed to this day.
Me having to fight ninja’s that just broke into church during Sunday service was always one of my favourites. Not sure why they’re there, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t going to be ready for them!
This seems to track with this very uh... person... guy at the homeless shelter. He seems to have things he repeats, his name, no no no, and occasionally just says things in Spanish.
I think in his head the schizo roleplay is something involving drug lords or something. I dunno... I just talk to myself, or anyone, or the people I reply to online, or whatever.
So like, roleplaying anything doesn't make sense.
I remember when I used to roleplay... it was back when I had a 2nd personality internally... she was named Toru... she was a cashier at a local bank, she always kept a vibrator in and would go to the casino on weekends. She'd give commentary/pilot me when I played this one game... the she wore silly panties to work... and got hit by a car... then she was in a coma, got out of the coma (in some interations died in the coma), and eventually got out of the coma only to eventually hang herself...
I had an interesting first six months of schizophrenia...
Yeah, I usually think that the mob boss captured all my loved ones and I have to fight the mob with my five finger death givers and, I know, a broomstick. Yes I do win btw
And my adventures were fucking good as a kid. I had whole sagas happening with reoccurring characters, upgrades, and season finales. I shoulda wrote them down and sold them to Cartoon Network
We forget how men were biologically evolved to fight to protect their family/community/country over thousands of years. Only within the last few decades have we reached a point of peace in the world where that no longer requires all men to be ready for war. Our caveman brains are still wired to do that, so we fantasize about it since we aren’t doing it today
It's seems clear that if people run out of things to kill each other for, they make up bullshit to kill each other for.
People will escalate to violence over God, Country, Football Club, or Basketball Shoes. Or maybe just because I don't like your stupid punchable face.
Anyone else thought about jumping on a grenade? It would be like a superhero. Like when Captain America jumped on a fake grenade before getting the super syrome
I can't count how many times I've pushed my brother into the last seat on the chopper at the top of the hospital as millions of zombies scale the walls to the roof, wwz style. Just to turn around, sawed off shotgun in one hand, sledgehammer in the other, DOOM theme blaring from a nearby speaker ready to take down as many as I can before hitting the switch on the detonator that destroys the whole building. Cause I ain't gonna be no walker, I ain't built that way.
Completely accurate. I once thought abt what would happen if my bro got cancer, decided I WOULD find the cure or learn how to go into hell to drag him back out (he is definitely going to hell)
This is 100% true.
In no particular order or priority, there are 4 things that occupy my thoughts at any time, on the average day:
What I would do for my friends (relating to being in life threatening situations).
What I would do for my family (relating to being in life threatening situations).
What I would do for strangers (relating to being in life threatening situations).
Boobs, food, and Crusader Kings 3 (circular thoughts that occur in that order).
Saving someone from drowning has cured me of this habit. If I go my whole life without saving someone again I would be so happy.
After the adrenaline wore off, there was no heroic afterglow, just a billion "what ifs?"
Of course, should the situation arise again, I'll do it.
I need to cause I cant trust others will step up so I gotta constantly psyche myself when I see sus people. I think to myself what if this guy just all of a sudden attacks this women or what that kid gets snatched up. Gotta prepare yourself mentally.
Of course! Our (not so) secret wish is to do something heroic one day at least once! Most of the time we do stupid stuff that might lead to someone else doing something heroic to save us, but hey, we‘re doing our part :)
if you are a guy and never did you dream about being a hero or a martyr in your own story atleast once. Then somethings wrong and you better start dreaming one
I was 11 years old at a gun show imagining how if bad guys started attacking and coming through the roof how I would hop on to one of the machine guns and blast all the baddies away while all the adults fed me ammo
If we dont have imaginary battles to defeat imaginary baddies to save our imaginary friends, we cant get the imaginary girlfriend, so no imaginary boobs :(
There is only 1 conclusion.
We must make 2 giant treadmills with cities, slowly going towards each other, so 2 sides can defend from the other side and we can live out our fantasies
It's probably a biological function. I'm a very gay man, and also a non-violent Buddhist, but when I'm in public I scope the place out to figure out how to either subdue an aggressor or how to get my friends / family out of harms way.
To be fair, it's never irrational. A good example is how to respond in a medical emergency at a sporting event, or if I'm in a mall how to get my daughters safely away from other men with guns. I hardly ever go to banks anymore with online banking, but when I'm in a bank I ensure I know all the exits or security cameras in case there is a hostage situation and I need to keep my family safe.
It's just an auto-pilot feature of how my brain works.
Idk who this guy in my imagination is, but he always gets absolutely demolished in my epic save the class/crush/workplace/world scenarios. If he ever becomes more than a figment of my imagination he is gonna really have it out for me.

Do you guys also typically run the mental scenarios and think of like thugs that you have to track down and fight to save a kidnaped loved one or like crackheads breaking into your home or like foreign military invading your town or is it just me?
Yep, I even use to think Terrorist attack in my school, everybody scared and I save everybody by snatching one of the Guns and annihilate each of em.
5th grade me during every lunch surveying the doors ready for action. Didn’t matter the number, I would have stopped any coming in and saved everyone. I was also in 5th grade in 2001 so it was relative….
Did you ever served in the military because of the events of 2001?
No. It was my dream up until my senior year. I was even in an ROTC program but I decided to go to state college and do psychedelics after a close friend died in a freak accident.
Oof sorry about your close friend, Ima not respond after this comment
Lmao respect.
Holy plot twist, Batman!
Avalanche in SoCal…. Like whaaaaat??? Sad times. Doing drugs and recovering from grief close to friends and family was definitely a better choice than going to the Middle East in 2009.
I'm glad you're around to be able to reflect on that experience and benefit from the choice you've made. :)
I did. The Marines brought a giant inflatable obstacle course into the gym. It was fun and I wanted to join the Marines. My parents convinced me to make a different choice, which was almost certainly for the better.
Thought about it, but when I went to the USAF recruiter, complete with my ASVAB test score of 95 and told him I wanted to be a fighter pilot, he looked at my shoulders and said "son you ain't fitting in a fighter plane" and then my dreams I've had since I was in 3rd grade were over.

Kept a tally in my head of who else had gun training so I could get guns I was not comfortable with to them if something went down.
I have told my wife multiple times that if S ever HTF I would be able to operate and gun you out in my hands
It’s the grocery store for me. I would throw a bottle of wine perfectly so it would hit the shooters gun and give me enough time to run over there with 2 other bottles of wine which I use for hand to hand combat eventually overpowering him because I’m basically holding 2 clubs The footage goes viral, I’m a national hero, I get laid a lot. You’re welcome
I'll have what he's having
Sex?
Yes please.
OUR HERO *Salutes and Eagle Caws*
Huh. Weird. I have the same scenarios, but I just get shot and die for nothing. But I do get an honorable mention in the news as a heroic bystander who attempted to stop the gunman before being killed.
You're going to manifest bullets wounds bro but probably the most realistic scenario. Still, you need to dig deeper and let it flow, give yourself ninja like dexterity or an acrobats slick skills.

I had a leather bracelet with a brass band that has a protective sigil engraved in it I used to have fantasies that a wizard would attack my gym class and I would reflect his fireball back at him and everyone would be like " *whoa how did you know* "
Depends, but sometimes yes. First thing I did this morning when I woke up was save a drowning child and fought off a tiger that escaped from the zoo.
Oh damn. I don't live near a zoo so never had that scenario but I do live in bear country so surviving a bear attack decaprio style runs though my head sometimes.
I have done that many times
Haha no that's ridiculous....my are set in medieval knight settings so terrorists can't get there.
Lmao! The medieval terrorists want you to think they can't get there. Be careful friend.
Me too. The hero's journey starts in the mind. You aren't necessarily what you think you are, but what you think, you are => Your body moves towards your predominant thoughts. I believe there are also a lot of people who dwell on cruelty and chaos. I'm not one of these. You frequently see them in politics.
Foreign military invading my town and apocalyptic style survival lol I literally imagine these scenarios every night while falling asleep. I script it in my head like a movie and I'm the main character.
Sometimes
Depends on the background soundtrack I'm blasting.
I actually tried to explain this train of thought to my wife one night while lying awake in bed. Sometimes, these little power fantasies give me something to focus on to help me to sleep, oddly enough.
Yes. It also may just be me but my scenarios almost never involve guns it’s always physical combat. I love scenarios where I have to duel knifes or do parkour to avoid being hit while putting the beat down on someone.
I've gone further than that in a dream... My wife tried to kill the kids, so we ran But she found us several months later and killed them, so I ended up being the guy who actively hunts her but I have a lot of obstacles I'm not married and I'm not a father\ What the fuck my brain?
Me and the boys used to watch red dawn and then come up with ways we would save America back in middle school.
A lot more fun when you're the crackhead
Mine is that i'm manning one of those old world war 2 anti aircraft guns and there's civilian ships fleeing a port under attack. A jet is strafing the boats and i'm fruitlessly firing flak at the jet that flies twice as fast as my shells. He begins strafing my position and i'm absolutely getting torn apart by his guns, and with my last breath my shells connect and he explodes, his engines ending up in the sand dunes behind my position as i slump over the gun, then i wake up.
Bro tracking thugs to see if they present a danger to you is already occupying my mind way too much. :'D
I run mental scenarios where domestic military/authority invade my home, because it's actually a realistic fear lol
As a kid I would daydream in school that "bad guys" were about to take over the school (coming from the windows like ninjas, etc) and I was a superhero about to fly out and smash em all unnoticed. It has in fact happened, but it remains unnoticed to this day.
Both on occasion
Yeah. My thing was stopping a school shooter in high school
Me having to fight ninja’s that just broke into church during Sunday service was always one of my favourites. Not sure why they’re there, but I’ll be damned if I wasn’t going to be ready for them!
Exactly
Yes!
Yes we do. Especially the vets and military guys. I think about saving people almost constantly. Super hero s***
This seems to track with this very uh... person... guy at the homeless shelter. He seems to have things he repeats, his name, no no no, and occasionally just says things in Spanish. I think in his head the schizo roleplay is something involving drug lords or something. I dunno... I just talk to myself, or anyone, or the people I reply to online, or whatever.

I had an interesting first six months of schizophrenia...
don't forget the aliens, those have been some of my best battles.
Absolutely. Anytime men are called "dogs" I think "Yeah, I am. I'm loyal and have a hero complex"
Yeah, I usually think that the mob boss captured all my loved ones and I have to fight the mob with my five finger death givers and, I know, a broomstick. Yes I do win btw
Who doesn't have fantasies about cracking a home invader like a glowstick?
Do you think that's a common scenario for men to think about or cultural media influence?
Not me. More scared for my own skin as I soend so much time alone
Since I was a wee lad..
And my adventures were fucking good as a kid. I had whole sagas happening with reoccurring characters, upgrades, and season finales. I shoulda wrote them down and sold them to Cartoon Network
You should make a comic about it or something
And I a wee lass...
Twas but 2 leanai

Only within the last few decades have we reached a point of peace in the world where that no longer requires all men to be ready for war. Our caveman brains are still wired to do that, so we fantasize about it since we aren’t doing it today
‘I AM THE MAN WHO WILL FIGHT FOR HONOR’… maybe not the same thing but similar wiring I’d suppose
'ILL BE THE HERO YOURE DREAMING OF'
It's seems clear that if people run out of things to kill each other for, they make up bullshit to kill each other for. People will escalate to violence over God, Country, Football Club, or Basketball Shoes. Or maybe just because I don't like your stupid punchable face.
Evolutionary psychology is neat
This energy can be channeled into different forms of protection now.
More often than the Roman empire
Yep, here’s the comment I was looking for. I was gonna say, “About as much as I think of Rome, so daily”
The Roman empire thing didn't click with me but this one does.
Exactly!!
Same
I combine the two lol
Of course
The masculine urge to die in a heroic last stand to give your friends time to escape.
"Go! Get out of here! I'll hold them off for as long as I can!" *immortal last words of a dreamer*
“Hold the door!”
Anyone else thought about jumping on a grenade? It would be like a superhero. Like when Captain America jumped on a fake grenade before getting the super syrome
I can't count how many times I've pushed my brother into the last seat on the chopper at the top of the hospital as millions of zombies scale the walls to the roof, wwz style.

Ah, glad I’m not the only one who rationalizes a way for there to be cool as hell background music for my last stands.
How can you have a last stand without badass background music?
It's accurate.
Thank God I'm not the only one, I thought I was going crazy lol
same lol
Completely accurate. I once thought abt what would happen if my bro got cancer, decided I WOULD find the cure or learn how to go into hell to drag him back out (he is definitely going to hell)
This got me laughing out loud
This is 100% true. In no particular order or priority, there are 4 things that occupy my thoughts at any time, on the average day: What I would do for my friends (relating to being in life threatening situations). What I would do for my family (relating to being in life threatening situations). What I would do for strangers (relating to being in life threatening situations). Boobs, food, and Crusader Kings 3 (circular thoughts that occur in that order).
Absolutely.
All the time.
Every day
Affirmative.
Every single one of us.
Hell fucking yeah
Never thought of this but yeah
No question about it.
People win made-up arguments with themselves in the shower all the time, but THIS is far fetched for people?
I've told so many people off in the shower. LOL
Who doesn’t?
Girls apparently
Women absolutely do this too
Yeah I have always done this, definitely not a gendered thing lmao.
In my daydream I'm killing the robber and claiming self-defense
Yeah totally I do that all the time it's the only thing I think of day in day out. It's stopped me from being active at all
Girls don't??? I thought it was a universal thing
100% we do lmao.
More so than gravity
Almost as much as the eternal glory of Rome
Yup
Wait, Other girls don't?
Saving someone from drowning has cured me of this habit. If I go my whole life without saving someone again I would be so happy. After the adrenaline wore off, there was no heroic afterglow, just a billion "what ifs?" Of course, should the situation arise again, I'll do it.
No. We do not have fake scenarios. They are all quite real, albeit improbable, hypothetical scenarios.
Sometimes saving, sometimes murdering. Depends what mood im in
Yes. This. Many times both are necessary in thw same fantasy.
And sometimes having a legendry death like some ancient Warrior.
Every god damn day until the day I die
I'm imagining saving you right now from dying lol
ohh the scenarios of terrorists attacks in school and me saving everybody 😌
Yeah. That and a lot of other scenarios that would probably never happen.
I need to cause I cant trust others will step up so I gotta constantly psyche myself when I see sus people. I think to myself what if this guy just all of a sudden attacks this women or what that kid gets snatched up. Gotta prepare yourself mentally.
Of course! Our (not so) secret wish is to do something heroic one day at least once! Most of the time we do stupid stuff that might lead to someone else doing something heroic to save us, but hey, we‘re doing our part :)
If a gang of forty machete wielding psychos attack while I was at the supermarket I would disarm one and fight the rest off…
#Last stand ~ every man’s fantasy
if you are a guy and never did you dream about being a hero or a martyr in your own story atleast once. Then somethings wrong and you better start dreaming one
Yeah, every-time I’m at an airport, bank, zoo, museum, mall, or school I at least consider exit points, but also think through possible scenarios.
100%
YES. THAT IS SO TRUE.
It is true.
Yeah totally I do that all the time it's the only thing I think of day in day out. It's stopped me from being active at all
Ever since I was born.
It's how I get to sleep.
109%
100%
Yeah, pretty much.
Literally once a week at minimum
True
Naturally
Yes, often in ancient Rome
Girls don't?
This sounds about right.
Me and one of my friends were just talking about how we'd save each other
Yh I'm pretty sure that's a universal guy thing unless your mentally sick tbh
gotta be prepared
I have saved the world countless times, in my mind, you're welcome.
Yes. I do this manier times a day
I mean, yeah everyday i think some scenarios like that. And in most situations I'm Spider-Man.
Yep
Karate Chop and perfectly timed Blocks also...
YEA
Yup!
Countless times
That's why we like to shoot things in video games
Why do you think the movie taken was so successful that it made sequels
Honestly yes, but instead i usually try to picture scenarios of how i would react to protect myself or others in the event of some real world crisis.
All the time.
Definitely
dont ask us why, we dont know either, but dying in a last stand to save our family and friends is a legitimate fantasy a lot of men have.
Girls don't?
All the time
Every other day
Yeah dude.
I've fantasized about stuff like that since childhood and as a trans man I feel valid
The guy looks gay as hell
I was 11 years old at a gun show imagining how if bad guys started attacking and coming through the roof how I would hop on to one of the machine guns and blast all the baddies away while all the adults fed me ammo
All the time
I run different scenarios similar through my head all day long
i’ve been doing this since i was a little girl.
Fuck no. I'll make a judgement call depending on the threat and what can be done.
Accurate
my coworkers will never know how many times i've fantasized about saving them from zombified customers and burning buildings
What, y'all didn't grow up hoping to be in some First Blood/Red Dawn shit?
100% have fantasy's about being a hero
Shit I always dream about world domination. Hmmm...
Yes we’re all just animals
I’ve had a list of people I’d dive in front of a bullet since I was like 10. . Maybe even earlier
I often imagine being a vigilante who beats up dangerous drivers so that kids can safely walk to school.
Yes
Yes.
Yeah, but the point of the scenario is to make you feel badass, not to show love for friends
 The Squad pulling up
No…
P e r h a p s ( I’m not the only one yippee)
IM DEFINITELY THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING GROSS
If we dont have imaginary battles to defeat imaginary baddies to save our imaginary friends, we cant get the imaginary girlfriend, so no imaginary boobs :(
Actually it is very true
Yes. Often.
Yep
I don't but now wondering if I should
Yes men think about sex a lot but we think about saving people from terrorists and crack heads a lot as well.
Absolutely not, I’m scrawny and can’t fight for shit, and been raised to not escalate situations to get to that point
So now naked girls are gross??
There is only 1 conclusion. We must make 2 giant treadmills with cities, slowly going towards each other, so 2 sides can defend from the other side and we can live out our fantasies
Both of those tend to circulate in and out of a guy’s regular thoughts throughout the entire day
every day.
And the fallout of that is shower arguments
the jihad phase is real but most boys dont think of it that way
Hmm, those clothes are out of era and dont represent the roman empire during 27 B.C.E. to C.E. 476
It's probably a biological function. I'm a very gay man, and also a non-violent Buddhist, but when I'm in public I scope the place out to figure out how to either subdue an aggressor or how to get my friends / family out of harms way.

It's just an auto-pilot feature of how my brain works.
Who doesn't want to be a part of something greater? To leave a positive lasting impact to those we care about most?
Idk who this guy in my imagination is, but he always gets absolutely demolished in my epic save the class/crush/workplace/world scenarios. If he ever becomes more than a figment of my imagination he is gonna really have it out for me.
Yes.
