Only sometimes.

That said, I'd get a hotel room and invite them over.

The cheap ones are on the street.

Sure but then you forgot the ice so you step outside to get to the machine and then they mug you

I think that is really the only way this scenario makes any sense.

You're actually part of an FBI sting operation.

No they wouldn't, 50% think they would fight.

To actually answer, I either leg it, or I just give my wallet. Depending on how good my training actually was.

I might ask if they just take the cash, it's a hassle to replace things that are quite useless to them like my credit card, health insurance card, etc. It's not like I won't block those immediately.

No they wouldn't, 50% think they would fight.

More accurately 50 per cent of nation accounts, not neccessarily belonging to different people clicked on the fight option.

It means that people decide otherwise when in the heat of the moment.

I can't just brain them can I?

so then... you're saying some of the 50% are lying?

More like 50% are so greedy they value their wallet over their life. This isn’t courage, it’s stupidity. It’s brave when you are risking death for something abstractly valuable to you. Getting yourself killed or seriously injured over money you don’t need it pointless.

No.

I am saying that such snap decisions made under pressure will be a lot different than when merely posed to them as a hypothetical on an internet forum.

2. I give them my wallet! But it's a trick! It's full of monopoly money. It's the fake! That's right my real wallet is in the last place they'd want to check. In my underwear! Get pranked robbers!

To answer the OP, I wouldn't fight, but I look a lot younger than I actually am so somebody would probably fight for me because "What kind of sick fuck robs a little boy?"

Not exactly. People don't have anywhere near as much control over what they do in a situation like this as you think.

No offense, but I get this feeling you've never had to worry about what will pay for your next meal. If your life is in the gutter, money and good luck is all you have to pull yourself out of it. Love might keep you sane longer, but unless someone's giving you a place to stay and eat for free, or a job, it won't get you anywhere.

^ this

And that it's you alone and unarmed facing three armed men. If you try and fight them you wouldn't be an action hero, you'd be a moron needlessly putting your life at risk.

But their wallet is at stake! Even though the government might not even let you keep it.

That’s actually a good idea.
