Kyle was the most savage. We're through, it's over, don't want you, ba bye. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude in the third clip handled that girl like a King. No raised voice, no physical violence, just pure class and composure. ✊🏽👑

My ex-wife got really angry with me because I refused to argue with her. I told her we can discuss any problem as long as we do it as adults, in a calm manner when aiming to resolve the problem. She realized after a couple of discussions, a logical approach to problem solving invariably showed there was no problem, just an unrealistic expectation. She hated that because she didn't want to resolve the problem she wanted to win the argument. I refused to live in an argument filled marriage so divorced her. I don't know if she ever changed, I know she got married twice after our divorce, and that she's single again now, so I suspect not. The best thing I ever learnt from my grandfather was not to argue with loved ones, if you lose your temper you'll do and/or say something you later regret. Women goad men into losing their temper and use the loss of control to criticize or shame them. Deny them it and you're already ahead, if they have a valid argument you can listen to it, it they haven't the problem dissolves like morning mist. Stay safe guys

Be hard pressed to see a man have this kind of respect for himself in shows past 2020. Unless he's the Villain.

It's one thing to challenge a man intellectually, it's a another to try to manipulate him psychologically. Because real Men are like a broken Atarii: they don't play games.

Kratos knows what he’s doing 😎

Living Single the original friends.

I thought Dwayne's line was the coldest, but my boy Kyle laid the law DOWN!!!😅

TC Carson, the definition of calm & reasonable.

Kyle paused on the stairs and for a second thought about turning into Kratos.

This isn't just with "combative women," this is with anyone, male or female, in a relationship who seeks to make every conversation hostile or disrespectful.

And women today will actually admit that they're mean and combative as if those are amicable traits for anyone to have! And wonder why they're still single

The OG Kratos was a savage with that clap-back!!!

That last guy on the stairs was cool, was as cool as a cucumber and didn’t even stress, he just left like a baws

My most recent ex played these kind of games and then broke up with me during an argument, when she realized she had crossed a "no going back" line with me all of a sudden she was like youre the best thing that ever happened to me ill get therapy i hate not having you in my life etc etc. point being, if they cant appreciate you when you are there then its.not your priblem how miserable they are when you are gone

“I AM THE GOD OF WAR!!” “NONE SHALL DEFY ME!!”

THIS is Masculinity the way it’s meant to be - there was no violence, no aggression. They did not waste time playing with feelings, just said it like it is. The second clip was my favorite because he didn’t just walk away; it gave you the feeling that he’s aware his woman has strong emotions, so he’s just returning that strength balanced with love.

Self respect goes a long way men. Stay on the path.

Modern-day women aren't used to men like Kyle, hence, the efficiency of his response.

Remaining calm and refusing to match energy is always the best way to deal with combative people.

Should've included the scene from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air where Carlton successfully put Jazz's rude and aggressive sister in her place after Jazz and Will were too cowardly to do it themselves. (Side note: Amazing how that scene now serves as a testament to the real life Will Smith.)

You have to be willing to walk away. Never put up with disrespect and drama. Move on. You're just identifying who's not the one, and the sooner you can do it the better. My old boss use to always say, "if you're going to fail, fail quickly". You might not what it is, but you know what or in this case, who it's not.

This is a critical life skill for men. Thank you for sharing.

Kratos says ‘Good point. ’

Good to see men respecting themselves and setting healthy boundaries. Women need to do this too with men who are combative.

When the black homies stop simpin'...

Maxine wasn't ready for that statement lol 😂

Kyle was a fuckin’ savage in the nicest fashion possible 😂

A Different World and Living Single are both on HBOMax.

I remember once a woman I was dating told me something like “you are not going to do that” then, finally not feeling codependent anymore, I asked her: “who are you to tell me what can I do or not?” When we do not feel needy then we can really have a relationship

Kyle reminds me of my husband i never see him lose his temper and he speaks with a very strong but gentle tone. I love my husband and hearing my husband speaking Japanese to me and our relatives is wonderful.

For the record...this technique actually works. Even before seeing this, I accidentally used a similar technique on a Karen customer at my job. She came in, looking for a combative confrontation, chose me, and because I was already having a rough day, I IMMEDIATELY shut it down and shut her down. I literally said..."No, we are NOT having this conversation. Speak to the manager or call Corporate, but get out of my face, bye, bye." Guess what happened? She just left with a shocked look on her face and NEVER CALLED OR COMPLAINED. She looked like no one had ever spoken to her like that before. My co-workers stared shocked because usually I'm very calm, passive and accommodating at work. This was a classic case of...Not Today.

My wife used to interrupt me a lot during “discussions”. I finally had enough and when it happened again, I just told her “I am speaking” in an authoritative voice. Her response was a sarcastic “Oh, dang”, but she hasn’t interrupted me since.

Kyle could have me any day of the week....I felt that scene 😂😂

Back in high school, my gf said: "You gotta choose Nintendo or me." So what did I do? Like Princess Zelda said later that day: "It's a secret to everyone."

Defiantly the best "Take this into your pipe and smoke it" moments.🤣👍👏

Last guy was utterly ruthless...

Dude was about to pull out that scene from why did I get married too with MJW just before the video cut out 🤣🤣🤣🤣

0:22 The jersey helped him channel that Michael Jordan alpha energy

A man is always ready to propose to the woman of his dreams until the one he believes is the one breaks his heart.

Yeah you can't try to logic your way with someone who's being overwhelmingly emotional. Sometimes you just gotta walk away. That goes for women AND men

Exactly. No pain. No anger. No shouting. Leave them where they're at.

Real talk! Time for us men to STEP UP and look out for ourselves when appropriate! I love this video!

I had an ex who was like this. At one point I got so tired of her arguing/abusing me that I just hung up the phone in her face. She called back about 5 seconds later in complette disbelief and was like "DID YOU JUST HANG UP ON ME?". So I calmly told her yes, and that "from now on every time you speak to me disrespectfully like that im going to hang up on you". She tried raising her voice at me two more times, and two more times I hung up in her face. It was amazing how much she changed her tone after this, although ultimately it ididnt matter in the end as we ended up breaking up regardless. Still, the point remains - nobody (man or woman) should tolerate being disrespected like this by a partner.

I used to watch Living Single all the time with the fam growing up. I ended up working at a store in Alexandria, VA a couple years back that was attached to a theater. Terrance Carson was one of the actors. I never went out my way to let him know because honestly he seemed like he didn't want to be bothered but not in a bad way. I always thought how funny it was that he had no clue this random white kid grew up watching him and throughly enjoyed the show. It's a small world sometimes.

Im hoping someone can animate the last scene with kratos, actually using kratos. Lol

Yep! Creatively and firmly stop them in their track without arguing or responding combatively, that's how.

Last guy was smooth😂

I've always wanted to be Dwayne Wayne....The inventor of Dwaynetindo

0:45 my man said it straight.

Kyle paused and almost hit the L3 button 😂😂😂

I thought he was gonna say " I am the god of war. None shall defy me".

Whenever my wife (R.I.P.) would start yelling at me during a disagreement, I would calmly remind her that saying things louder, didn't make her any more right or wrong, just harder for me to listen to.

Kyle Barker mighta been the most official mf on the air when it come to this line of work 😂😂😂

Kyle was always smooth like that! He broke it down!!!

If you do this in 2024 they accuse you of liking other men... theyre so funny when theyre hurt

Nothing made my ex angrier than when I refused to argue with her. Nothing.

Kyle was always the coolest most chill brother on television i remember being a kid watching him like wow

Always know that you have value Never think that you're irreplaceable

I had a girlfriend who would call me five times a day. On the last call she said, "You know, I'm just a carton of milk to you. A carton of milk with an expiration date." So I said. "You're right. You're just a carton of milk with an expiration date, and that expiration date is NOW! We're thru." That's when she started visiting my window at 4 O'clock in the morning.

The last dude was as smooth as silk from the moment he 1st spoke till the moment he went back up the stairs

The power they have....is the power you give them. Patrice O'Neal

After 7 years I didn't let on I wasn't cool with her last abuse and just never visited her again. Took the woman 3 months before texting me. Not a caring bone in her body.

The bye-byes....now I see why moma use to love watching these so much 😂😂😂😂

Why is this in my recommend? Is google stalking me? 😂 I had the biggest fall out with this type of woman recently and it doesn't help that she was my mother 😅

You drop that one and look for one that is non-combative. . .

I didn't realize Kratos could be so polite at not being polite

Last bro was the inventor of smoothness

Kings we need to remember who we are individually and collectively the fact we are even alive at all goes against our very existence but we are here now let’s fucking act like it be excellent to yourself and others but don’t let anyone bring you down no matter who they are family, friend, lover, etc. cause in the end they’re just like you a human being worthy of peace and love ✌🏽

They need to put this in a museum!

I legit learned how to deal with hard headed women. By watching all these shows lmao. I was doing this stuff in high school

Kyle cut it short no explanation needed 😂😂😂

Kyle was my favorite on LS lok

This is what boundaries are. You establish them at the beginning of a relationship. Don't try to do that after a half year. It's too late already then. To make a woman respect you after not respecting you is almost impossible.

Yes! Totally agree. 😌 I absolutely loath arguing and the loss of energy that comes with it. 😖

That’s how I handle combative men, I don’t no one disrupting my peace

Kratos has spoken!!

TC Carson is a real classy brother.

Amen brother, great point!!! ❤

I needed this inspiration today because lawwd I need your grace and mercy lol

T.C. mf Carson. THE OG Kratos!

0:27 Fun fact: He is also the VA of young Kratos.

Wish you would have shown the Marcus scene. He checked TWO women!

"Good point" That line was satisfaction.

Dude from living single was always awesome like that 😂

Ignore!!!!😶, you DON'T have to Holla and Cuss , say what you Mean, Do what you say and Move on!!

Some women needs to be spoken to in that manner!

Last Guy Kyle, Didn't Handle it With Care But Handled it With Class. 9x💯

This is how real women expect a man to react. It shows maturity, self-confidence, and emotional intelligence. If we overreact or give in to easily, it makes us look codependent, unstable, or weak. Which will turn a woman off quickly. Stand your ground, fellas.

You needed to scour over 40 years of television, and only found three clips of male characters drawing the line with women. _And_ 2/3rds of the clips were filmed between 1988 and 1994. That is effective propaganda against men.

KYLE was COLD with it!!! lol

When Max said "What does that mean?" She knew she "f*** up.

0:05 listen carefully….. sounds like the person recording the video FARTED

I like how they included Dwayne Wayne when he spent 98% of A Different World chasing after Denise or Whitley like a lost puppy. When Whitley decided to marry someone else, he literally had to be dragged out of the chapel while screaming “baby, baby, please!!!” 😂

Kyle was standing on business 💯 💪 real niggas know in real life she gon be calling his phone begging him to come back

Both Kyle and Dwayne Wayne are my favorites in this.

WATCH THIS ON REPEAT!!!

Once I overheard a convo between two women *but see that's the thing, girl. I looooove to fuss* *OH! Me too. See that's where he messed up, because he don't know I loves to fuss lol* I realized this is the best response. There are a lot of women who will pick fights because they legit get a thrill out of playing with emotions, the overall engagement of a dispute(a lot of times creating them as an outlet to vent something that's been on their mind for months)and the rush of make up sex.

Not the 1 millisecond of "MARCUS" 😂

Love the short circuit at the last one the "wait.. no.. yes? umm.. what.. I.. did not think this was the path that he would take"
