It's disturbing to me that people are suggesting someone become physically violent with his "close friend."
I can't imagine any adult friends who would agree to beating each other up over some misguided promise to protect women from themselves. That sounds more like some pact teenagers make to prove their manhood to each other by acting hypermasculine, not mature responses to violence. Some friends people have in here.

Um... if I
EVER hit a girl, I'd
EXPECT my friends to check me. Hell I'd want them to. It's not "acting hypermasculine", it's a friend doing one of his (in my opinion) duties as a friend. You may see things differently, but IMO hitting a girl ranks up there with stealing a car. There's no excuse for it unless it was extraordinary circumstances (I.E. life threatened).
Otherwise there's PLENTY of ways to avoid it. Holding a womans wrist is one of the easiest, even pushing her down if she's biting or kicking.
That being said, anyone who stays with a girl who throws those stupid tantrems is as dumb as the girl he's with.
