    Yes. But capacity to take it will vary depending on where it lands.

    SO many variations on this.

    A sucker punch will invariably mean the puncher's metaphorical demise.

    All the rest, I'll take. And absorb, if need be.

    I can, but the consequences are unpredictable, which is kinda disturbing.

    Don't seem to have much choice....  I live on, but can be fundamentally affected

    I mean a physical punch, if this was not clear.

    I agree with BP. I have been kicked, strangled, had my head banged against a wall, but I have never been punched.  I came up swinging to the above so I suspect I would come back swinging to a punch.

    Oh. Hahahahahahaaaaaa!!! Oh my gosh.

    I've only been punched once. I took it to the jaw trying to intervene between two drunk guys I was working with.

    I landed flat on my back, slammed the back of my head on sheer ice.

    Lesson: Let them fucking beat each other up.

    There have been a few times where drunken women tried to come my way... Attack-wise. My "look" drew them up and they backed off. Mars in Scorpio.

    Ah! Oh, Jesus... no. If anyone ever punched me... I'd be in total shock for a start. The last person who did (only one!) was my mother, when I was 15, over 50 years ago. I was old enough by then to sock her right back, and she never did it again.

    I can't imagine any situation since then in which I would have risked being punched, other than a random street attack. I never hung with men, in all the men I've known, who used physical violence (gals neither)

    Depends on where it's to. And if I'm not incapacitated for any length of time, I'll come back swinging, either literally or metaphorically.

    I can take a punch, but they'd best punch and run because I'll open a can of psychobitch on their ass, LOL. AriesMars opposed Pluto

    I was backhanded in the ear once. My ear rang but I didn't show anything.

    I've also been kicked in the temple while sparring and I passed out but I got back up again and fought again.

    I think my sister punched me once or twice when we were little, and I probably punched her back - but it wasn't in the face.

    I hope to never find out... I'm definitely not a fighter by any stretch of the imagination :/

    Pretty sure I still could. I also think it's a really good way to see a Taurus immediately explode rather than that "simmering slow building anger" we usually exhibit. But even that is pretty subjective!

    i'd guess so.  i mean, i have.  from other kids, from my child throwing a tantrum, while sparring...  not sure about, say, a full grown man going all out in the face, though.  but that's what i trained those reflexes for.

    never been sucker punched, for that matter.  saw stars that one time that friend and i got too close dancing to industrial music, and i did alright with that...

    Hmm... I've never been punched but I've been kicked in the ribs... and I stood up and walked away. So I guess so? That was years ago though... maybe not now!!

    I have never been punched, amazingly.  Always managed to dodge.  *grins*

    I know getting a toddler's head to the nose hurts like a sumbitch, though.  ;)

    PS:
    I seriously lost it on Kash's comment.  :D

    No.

    Too much Venus. I hate physical violence. The mental thought of the punch would be too much for me even, LOL.

    I've ducked a few swings, but I haven't been punched yet luckily. I've been slapped across the face hard. That time, I just got up, gave an evil grin that promised retribution later, and walked off. It was a family member.

    If I ever got punched, I'd probably be in shock for a moment. Then come back up and happily f*ck somebody's sh*t up but good. And have way too much fun in the process. My other twin is a sadistic creature, with a really high pain threshold. 12th house Aries still remembers a few things....and I just need half a reason.   ; )

    No, even though I came real close once.  I almost punched Psycho SFB SIL.

    I'm all about bringing on the fight.  I won't back down, either.  Leo Sun conjunct Mars.
