  This is a very interesting topic of conversation as I have asked myself WHY for years. It goes back to a very early age for me,the origins of which  I can not pinpoint.

These contributions are great, thanks again to everyone

I find Bear's answer very interesting. I knew many combative/competitive women in my formative years so maybe it could provide some answer in my case but might not be for everyon

For straight guys, IMHO there is a connection between this fetish and a strong, competitive perhaps combative woman in your past -- most likely your very early years.  Could be an aunt, a sister, but most likely Mom.  I'm no social scientist by any means, but over the years I've read lots and lots of posts, and it seems to me that guys who are into this have this characteristic in common.  That was a good enough explanation for me, and I've found considerable peace in this rationalization. 

Also, we seem to have amazing memories.  I doubt that this is connected in some way, but it certainly appears to be true.     

As far as the type of competition that one prefers, well that my well have to do with the kind of relationship that you had with that woman.

It seems that a lot of us have this interest vert early, which is interesting. Does anyone know a person who got into it later in life?

I have analyzed the psychology of it
Myself and did alot of reading and came to this conclusion. It has to do with the selecting a mate process. As humans we are prewired to choose a mate that will be the strongest gene pool to further spread our seed. I think many guys are interested in catfights cause it defines who the superior woman is. Personally I always find myself more attracted to the lady who wins her fight

No we aren't.  We are prewired to chose a mate we find most attractive.

"Let's see, Beyonce or Queen Kong?  Think I'll go with Beyonce."

Lol. Try reading a little more. Called survival of the fittest. They teach it in elementary school

Survival of the fittest has little to do with mate selection.

Sexual selection is based on the struggle to reproduce rather than the struggle to survive. Peacocks with extravagant tails will have more children, since they are more successful at attracting a mate.

No male lion ever said "I'm gonna fuck that lioness because she's the fastest runner."

No guy was ever attracted to an ugly woman compared to a beautiful one simply because she could bench press more. 

You tell me to read a little more.  Well you seem to have a rudimentary knowledge of Darwin's ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES (1859) but complete ignorance of THE DESCENT OF MAN AND SELECTION IN RELATION TO SEX (1871)

[jon222]

Survival of the fittest also speaks to the unconscious desire for men to spread their seed with the strongest offspring possible to pass down the dna. That plays into sexual selection

No, it speaks to males spreading their seed to the most possible mates. As Darwin states mating is about quantity not quality.

So it looks were equal do you think most guys would prefer a lady who loses her catfights or one who wins?  I think most guys would prefer the lady who wins her catfights. Disagree?

The desirability of a woman based upon how good a fighter she is, is quite frankly, ridiculous.

[jon222]

Cool and I think your view is ridiculous. Nice talk

[rin753]

Did you see Kathy Bates beat the crap our of Olivia Culpo?  That Bates is one sexy mama!

Yikes!

[Josephinex]

Personally I want the fighter I find more attractive to win, tho I am more interested in the competition itself rather than the result. I am ok with a draw between equals n i think i prefer that result

tho I don't think I can agree with the survival of the fittest argument but doesn't mean that it doesn't have merit for some people

[daz]

When it comes to the views of some people, they have a tendency to only put forward arguments that support there own political doctrines.   They totally ignore things like science (pheramones).  Upbringing,  Romance etc.   Regardless this is not supposed to be that type of chat.   Many fans grow up feeling a sense of guilt over liking catfights.   Its not about wanting the winning woman or the losing woman.   At the end of the day most people can seperate the fantasy from the reality so its about the erotic conflict of 2 ladies ina hot yet tabboo situation.

Regarding the whole darwin discussion, I think I said there was an element of this.  Not that it was the sole reason it is a turn on for us.  If you assume we descended from Gorilla's, at some point we probably did want to mate with Queen Kong over Beyonce.  And I think to some extent it is still true for women.  I mean these huge football players, boxers, MMA guys are the ugliest cusses around and women are swooning for them.  But over the last XXXXXX years of evolution we have added a few characteristics to our desire to reproduce.  And it is really varried.  Some guys are into Queen Kong.  And it isn't just survival of the fittest.  Lots of people are turned on by the looser.  It really is complex and we are trying to break it down to something simple.
