What is the reason that when two people are about to fight, they get too close to each other’s faces?

1. Intimidation tactics and aggression.

2. They’re not sure if they want to fight or make out

3. A last chance to call someone’s bluff.

4. They really want to have a little kiss.

5. Try to make the other back down.

6. The distance between the two individuals is inversely proportional to the magnitude of sexual tension between them.

7. Most people escalate slowly. That’s a step in the escalation ladder.

8. It comes down to lack of training. A true fighter would never let someone that close.

9. They want to fuck rough.

   Nah. I think it’s asserting dominance shit. Like dogs do.

10. Haven’t you seen the godfather? Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

11. Some times you get so mad it makes you horny. This is why iron Mike famously said “i’m gonna fuck you til you love me” to one of his opponents. The more you know.

12. Generally, they are trying to look intimidating. It’s no different when a cat raised it’s fur or dog snarls.

13. Getting into someones personal space is an intimidation tactic.

14. I always bring my hands up when they get that close. I ain’t getting sucker punched and it creates space between you. That action usually backs them up real quick or kicks off the fight, lol.

15. They are looking for any sign that the other party is scared. It’s also an aggressive display of being in the others’ personal space. They are trying to see if the other one cowers.

16. Well, not for nothing…… but if I’m gonna get in the fight anyways….. I might as well be close enough so that I can actually do him some harm. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    I mean, I’m not gonna get all close to his face and shit, but I’ll be able to tell what the man had for breakfast. 🤣✌️

17. Intimidation and to prevent any sneak attacks.
