Ever been out in public, let's say on a date, or out shopping, or at a wedding.  And something about another woman triggers that, "Hmmmm....I wonder who'd win a fight between her and me?" urge?

What's the best venue to see if she feels the same?

I would say over coffee at Starbucks. Can be civil as you talk like two friends before leaving for wherever you will fight

.....or uncivil:

> Care to step outside?

> Anytime.....anywhere.

> I have a date tonight .... but I can cancel .... if you want me to.

> Your place is fine .... or mine .... your choice.

> I've been waiting to do this for a long time.

> Think you're tough?....

> ....or that I'm not?

Over wine (or other alcohol) seems best. That way, if it turns out I misread the situation completely I can always blame the wine and an empty stomach.

Over a drink during happy hour

Or shopping at Victoria secret

I love love love this post!! So many times that could cause a fight to start, a few words, a look, anything, I cant wait to hear what everyone has to say!!

The Victoria's Secret example got me to thinking:  in my experience f-on-f tensions actually got elevated not in "feminine" surroundings and environments, but in "masculine" one's.

What I mean by that is:  in a place like Home Depot, or say a Harley Davidson, where 85% of the customers and staff are male, if two women see each other, they are far more likely to size each other up and issue challenging stares.  My theory is it's because they want to be the better woman present in the eyes of the male audience.

So it seems like a potential place to issue, or receive, a challenge.

Here is a vision that I always thought of amd wished might happen, Im out in the early morning jogging down a nature trail through the woods, and along comes another women, neither know each other yet a nice jog together turns into a running race until the trash talking starts and then the bumping into each other turns into an all out!!

Full body workout.  Sounds like a productive morning.  Bonus points is that the loser either has to give up that trail....or be prepared for a rematch.

During any activity or game in an outing between if within a group.

I’ve got to say that as a man (and people watcher) I have also envisioned wrestling other men (and women) that I’ve seen when out. I also fantasise about different ‘ordinary’ women that I see, wrestling each other

One scenario that's kind-of-strangers-kind-of-an-acquaintance is when a divorced dad starts dating again.  The ex-wife and the new gf go thru a fuzzy interim period where they're kinda strangers, but know "of" each other.

Good window for the "Are we friends or are we enemies?" conversation over wine.
