When it comes to your average heterosexual guy there's a very long list of reasons we would get physical with another person. One of them being sexual advances from other men. Which got me to thinking. That wouldn't be nearly as much of an issue when it comes to gay or bisexual men? That gay and bisexual men would be much more particular on finding sexual advances from other men undesirable.

I would imagine that at a certain point it's about when, where, the type of guy and so on before it were to get physical. Which made me wonder even more. I would imagine there aren't many differences between what a hetereosexual man might consider logical enough to physically harm someone over and what a gay or bisexual man might consider logical enough to physically harm someone over.

Then realized i don't know said differences, if they did indeed exist. So, what would it take to get a gay or bisexual man to kick ass?

Unless someone is physically threatening me and I’m backed into a corner, there’s no reason adults should resolve disputes like boys. Even then I would do my best to avoid it. Too many people carry guns these days to puff out your chest and get butt hurt over some offense.
 
@OKCLane pretty much nailed it for me. I'm not quick to fight unless someone physically gets in my face and won't back off, puts their hands on me, or a friend or family member of mine is threatened.

Too many people out there are afraid to lose a fist fight so they carry a gun and it's not worth being shot or being arrested and sued for damages.
 
I do my best to avoid a fight. The only time (as an adult) I guy was a few years ago. It was some late 20's/early 30's guy that was high on drugs and/or drunk at the adult bookstore one night. It was a slow night and I was keeping to myself in one of the corners. He kept walking around the booth area in the circular path. Each time he walked by me, he would reach over and grab my crotch. He was really messed up and not in any condition to have sex with. Plus he was really obnoxious. I kept politely telling that I wasn't interested, but he wouldn't stop. After about the 10th attempt by him, I grabbed his wrist, pushed him backwards away from my body and told him to stop or he would be sorry. His eyes were glazed over and he obviously didn't comprehend what I had said. He just stared at me, you could he did not comprehend what I said. But he kept on walking and sure enough, the next time he walked by, he started to reach over again. I punched him in the shoulder and told him to stop. He stumbled backwards, hit the wall behind him and fell to the ground. He just sat there and stared at me. It looked like he was going to cry, but he finally got up and walked away. He waited a few minutes and then walked by again. He stopped in front of me and looked at me for a minute. Suddenly he realized he shouldn't try it again and he went on his way. He made a few more laps around the booth area before he stopped coming to where I was. A little bit later, a really nasty looking guy came into the booth area. The drunk guy immediately went into the booth with him. I had enough "fun" for the night so I gave up and went home.
 
I am very much a pacifist and haven't hit anyone since my brother when he was mine and I was 12. I still know that he deserved it!

I would be very quick to defend my disabled husband, just a bit less so to defend myself. Other than that, I think I would be more likely to call the police.
 
Most gay men don't get into a physical fight over just an unwanted advance from a man or women because our masculinity/ego isn't being threatened by it. Some straight men FEEL like their masculinity/ego is threatened so they get physical to assert dominance and their masculinity. Kinda sad when you think about it.

I can understand if the advance was constantly done toward the guy after repeated denials and the gay man still pushing but some straight men go right to punching teeth out just from being asked for his number =/

I don't buy it. Most of the Straight men I've known have known how to insist their lack of interest in other men.

How many straight men do you know?

I've been acquainted with thousands, surely. And I've probably been familiar with a few hundred sufficiently to have observed how they reacted, or sense how they would react, to another man flirting with them. That's sufficient at least to justify my calling your unsupported assertion into question.

I read the question in a broader context. While he started the post with sexual advances, it seems to me, that in the end he was simply asking in a general sense what might drive a person to the “logical” conclusion that physical violence was justified.
I could be totally wrong. Perhaps the OP could enlighten us.

No, you're right. OP just has a history of making unfair and unsupported generalizations about certain classes of people (particularly "privileged" groups), and I feel he should be called out on it.

Thank you for the clarification @malakos
