Current Events > You versus your Dad in his prime

(+) Yeah! (+)

You are at your current age and strength. Your dad is aged to his fittest years.

How do you fair??

If you are a lady, then switch it to your mom

My Dad was a near-professional Navy boxer in his prime. He'd fuck me up.
---

My dad was a drugged up asshole. I dont know if I could beat him, but Id sure like to try. >:(
---

I don't know. My dad was a taekwondo black belt. But I'm a fit Army veteran who knows a little BJJ. It could go either way. It would be an honor to spar with him and find out.
---

My dad was 6'5" and 270 with a lumberjack build, I'm 6' 225 and built similarly

However, I'm luckier. We dance the fighty dance.
---

I lose.

Hard.
---

my dad was a lanky drug addict in his prime, so maybe

he was like 6'2'' and i'm 5'9'' tho

i lose as well. my dad was really fit :<
---

I get destroyed.
---

I'm much stronger and faster than he was, also taller and somewhat heavier. He trained in judo when he was a kid but was more into partying by my age. I'd probably win.

---

I don't really know that my dad ever really had a prime. He was overweight most of his life

My dad is 6'3" 260. He was a football player.
I only 5'10" 245. I am trained in mma and i lift a lot. So im sure it wouldnt be easy but I could take him

Why do I have to be my current age and not also in my prime?
---

Really terrible. I've got arthritis and my dad was a marine, lol.
---

Dad was a carpentry worker, and although he didn't necessarily have any combat training of any kind the sort of work he did definitely put muscle mass and tone on his body - so dad at like 35 versus me at 31? Especially me with cancer and shit? Dad would tear me apart if he actually really wanted to.
---

Without any exaggeration whatsoever, I fully believe my dad in his prime could literally knock my head off my shoulders.

And that year would probably be in like his 50's. Dude's absurd.
---

firefighter vs. lanky idiot

I think he takes this one
---

I'm not sure what dad was like in his prime, but he went through basic training in the military. I'm averse to fighting and not athletic, so he'd probably win.
---

My dad was a marine. He'd kill the shit out of me.
---

i get destroyed. my dad was a mean drunk who liked to fight. im the exact opposite....
---

My dad was/is taller than me, but while he was also athletic I'm a former boxer, so even current me would win.
---

Absolutely wouldn't want to take that challenge at my current age and fit level.

And in my prime and my old man in his prime we would tear each other apart, it wouldn't be pretty. Kind of like when an unstoppable force meets and unmovable object.

My old man had that killer instinct. They just don't build'em like that anymore. RIP pops.
---

My dad could have been a green beret.
But neither of us are fighters. Both pretty passive.
---

My dad has worked hard through his whole life as a construction worker. He is still very strong today at age 57.

He's only 5'5" or 5-7" in his prime. I'm currently only 23, and 5'9". Yet, i'm weaker than him hahaha. I believe my dad would beat me in a fight. I'm been a football (soccer) player for a long time so i'm usually more focused on speed/agility than building strengths.

What i'm so thankful for is the "young" genetics I got from my parents. They are over their 50's, yet look pretty young (40's). I'm only 23, yet many thought I'm still in high school haha.
---

My dad was a very fit construction worker that worked out a lot and drank even more. Im in decent shape but he would destroy me.
---

Dad wins. I am out of shape and unfit. Dad in his prime was in the army

Huh... me in my prime VS me in my dad's prime I think I'd win, but current me VS prime dad... I dunno. It would be close. He was always in... normal middle-aged dad shape when I was growing up, but he was in the army before I was around so I assume he was in pretty good shape then.
---

This is a rather strange topic.
---

My dad's 64 and could still probably kick my ass

Why? It's a fun hypothetical.

My dad would probably whoop my ass. He got into fights in his 20s

I just went off the assumption that most here are young (20s to 30s) lol

ITT Everyone's dad was either a lanky drug addict deadbeat or a super fit military vet with martial arts experience.

What in the actual fuck?! Lmao

---

Dad in his prime was probably about 6-3 240 and in reasonable good shape from coaching year round. I'm 6-1 250 in, being generous, ok shape. I'm probably stronger than he was in his prime but he was probably in better shape overall.

I'd probably win a fight though because he was a natural right who had polio strike his right shoulder when he was a kid, and it made it so he had a hard time with mobility in his right arm. Didn't have much of an effect in day to day stuff but in a fight it would probably make the difference.

My father was never a fighter.

My dad was a firefighter--the chief, in fact--when I was a kid. This was his volunteer job, in addition to running a small hardware store mostly by himself. After that, he worked in a warehouse, though that was only partly manual. After that, he went into asphault, and shoveled probably millions of 40lb shovels before going into concrete and swinging a ten pound hammer one-handed thousands of times a day and lifting 80lb forms on the regular.

He didn't have any combat experience but his biceps were like cantaloupe sized.

Then he got an office job since he was in his mid 60's and he's losing strength fast. :(

What do you expect, most of our fathers grew up in the tough 60s-70s while us nerds are posting on a gaming website with most never sticking their dicks into a woman before.

I fuck my dad up

One time my dad was driving through an alley while working (garbageman) and he saw two young people start shooting at each other. He hopped out and broke it up with his bare hands.

are you me?

i hear drug addicts can be pretty strong sometimes. dad might fuck me up with that.
---

Pics of tc dad!

I'm a pipefitter so I'm pretty strong but my dad was literally a 1 man crew lumberjack. I'd die.
---

Hard to say. My dad served for 2 years because he was drafted.

As I am now I workout regularly, and I did martial arts in high school and college.

I got 3 inches over him though.
---

My dad was never in what I'd call great shape, but he was a policeman for 30 years while I'm an office worker.

I doubt my height advantage would turn into a win.

I can't even think about it. My dad was in the military for years so no doubt he was tougher than me.
---

My grandfather came home shellshocked from WW2 and my Dad was beat a lot as a kid so he's much tougher than I am. He'd bust my ass. He used to be a bouncer.
---

Insanely well my dad was 5'4 and a crackhead
