Of course everyone is different, but in general, do you think that women like to talk about catfights that that were in or potentially going to be in. Or fights that they have seen?
When women discuss catfights it would be a mistake to assume a physical altercation has occurred. It tends to be about two women or a group who are involved in an ongoing bitchy feud.
Most of the time I think they would be shy about it unless you know them well. A while ago my sister had a fight with a girl I liked but my sister and I don't really get along that well, so she wouldn't have told me anything about it and not many people were there to see it also, to ask about it. When I next saw the other girl I asked her about it and she was a bit suspicious at first why I was asking, but I managed to get her to talk about it, and she seemed to enjoy talking about it, probably because she won haha.
Can you tell us a little bit about the fight? What do the girls look like? Did your sister put up a good fight? How did your friend finally win? Were you surprised she beat your sister? Have you told your sister that you know she lost?
My female cousin told me about how she slapped a classmate of hers. Then the classmates mother called my cousins mother and threatened her that her family was very influential and not to mess with them.

Well I didn't actually see the fight myself, but the other girl said it was easy and bragged about how much hair she ripped off my sister. I wasn't really surprised, I did think she would win but I wouldn't have been surprised if my sister won either. And yeah my sister hates the fact that she told me about it.

your sister being mad about the other girl talking over the fight with you...
Do you gather the impression your sister would go at her again if opportunity arises?
It was a while ago so I would be surprised if she did, also if she got beaten as easily as the other girl made out then that's another reason not to. But I think she exaggerated a bit about how easy it was.
I can't imagine women at a dinner party, happy hour, girls night out, book club, church event, etc,... discussing their catfights that they had. :o
Obviously this does not apply to all women, but on the whole women are far more honest when they are chatting amongst themselves. Men are more likely to brag and exagerate. A man might say to his friends, that he had seen a couple of women fight but it wouldn't go very much further than that. Women are more likely to discuss how it made them feel.
Rich did your sister dispute the claim that her opponent won easily? Did she give her side of the story?
When my ex got together with some of her nursing friends and had some alcohol they lossen up about some of their fights .
Most of the fights were due to pent up frustration and stress very rarely was it over a guy. I think that's male projections that we have.
The silliest one I witness was over a screwup dessert and they went for it slapping and tearing hair until they were pull apart it was crazy.

She clearly didn't want to talk about it, but she tried to deny losing but I could tell she was lying.
From my point of view NO we don't , number 1 reason is in general we aren't thrilled we were reduced to have to fight that way, part of the reason couples can't talk about it.
2) a real catfight can feel like a flash of time, and not every detail is recalled and a few better off not mentioning. 3 we prefer our men are aroused by us being with them and wanting us for us not hearing a real fight story or fake( though at times everyone needs a little help lol)
In general yes, humans are attracted to combat, superiority and dominance. We like talking about our victories and achievements. Back when I was in college 2 girls got into an altercation, the winner of the fight always liked to remind everyone about her victory even after a considerable amount of time had passed. This highlights a deeper aspect of human nature i.e. the desire for validation and recognition and what better way to gain validation than through demonstrating one's prowess and superiority through physical combat.
I had an experience where I was out with some friends and their wives at a bar. Our friend was a bouncer and came over to chat with us a bit. Told us about a huge catfight the night before. First thing I noticed was it seemed the women were much more into the story than the guys (guys may have been hiding their interest?) and asked lots of questions. When the bouncer moved on they started telling stories about fights they had seen. All kind of living vicariously through the fights of others? Only one mentioned a fight she was in that she had won. Not sure if it means anything... just my experience.

Can you explain the full story? Did she make your sister cry?

I wasn't there so I can't describe the full fight but it sounded like a normal fight by what she said. Hair pulling and punching while standing up and when she got on top she spoke about pulling out lots of hair.

I'm not entirely sure that you answered the original question. the way I read the question was do women talk about catfights among themselves. Not in front of men or to men for there entertainment.
My wife likes to talk about catfights because she loves how it gets a "rise" out of me. Without fail

Smart wife. All of the rewards, none of the bruising!
I have one of those "smart wives" too. Priceless
My ex used to come home and tell me how much she wanted to kick a co-workers ass all the time. They eventually became friends and once talked about the fact they both wanted to fight each other at a drunken bonfire. After a couple shoves and claims that they each would have won if they fought, the friends husband broke it up but they surely enjoyed talking shit to each other which resulted in many years of great sex.
I think if this happens at all, it will be on rare occassions. Women who are into combat sports or martial arts might exchange their experiences easily if they know they share that passion. And even if they do not know that about each other telling "I am a boxer" or "I do Judo" still can start an interesting conversation and nearly no one will judge her for that.
But randomly talking about a catfight or spontaneous brawl one has been in to other women has to be way more complicated, because you can not know if the other one will find that totally inapropriate. So most would not do it, I guess.
ummm kind of. for example, one of my friends once got into an altercation at the grocery store with another woman and told me about it. she also kept contemplating how the fight would've gone if it had really escalated. It's like, sometimes women find it kinda thrilling to share these experiences..... and its not just women i find, people, regardless of gender often find it engaging to talk about conflicts or confrontations they've witnessed. sharing stories about personal experiences, especially those that involve emotion, conflict, tension and drama is a way for individuals to process what happened, to seek validation or empathy from their peers and to navigate their feelings about the event.
A win is a win, most women like to talk about it. But try talking to a woman about her defeat. It is not likely to be an easy task.

Really? Great
10 years ago when my wife worked at a bank her and a coworker had serious issues between them. One day at a staff meeting the other woman made a remark to my wife and my wife went off on her. Fortunately it didn't get physical but it was close and my wife walked out.
She never mentioned the incident with any of her friends.
This morning on the bus. One girl said to another girl, "And then his girlfriend suddenly slapped me." I mustered all my courage and asked her, "Did you hit her back?" "Yes," she answered. I was excited and curious. "And then?" I asked. "Did she pull my hair and I pulled hers?" the girl replied. "Was there a fight?" I continued.
The boys intervened and pulled us apart," she said. I asked, "Would you have won the fight against the girl if no one had intervened?" "Yes, I would have beaten that bitch," came the reply. I learned that it happened at a Halloween party and that there would be tension again if they met again.

I think there's a misunderstanding here again. A catfight and a fight are two different things. A catfight exists in fantasy and videos, but in real life it's rare, and I'm not sure anyone would talk about it. And there's nothing unusual about discussing a fight.
right, she was talking about a real brawl

When I was a teenager, I had to fight with other girls. The fights happened quite often, and they were hotly discussed at school and in the yard.
But they were just fights; no one ripped off anyone's clothes or rubbed their private parts against each other :o
Why did you have to fight?
Original question...... Do women like to talk about catfights?
Catfights they've watched, talking to other women, a resounding yes.
Catfights they've watched, and talking to males, it depends on the male. If it's a good friend, or spouse, they probably will talk.
Catfights they've been in, talking to other women, mostly yes, especially if they've won.
Catfights they've been in, but lost not so much, that includes talking to women and men.
I've also found it depends on their age. Most young women, between 18 and 24, will generally talk both about catfights they've watched, and been in. From around 25 to 35, they're seem to be a bit more reluctant to talk. From around 36 upwards, most don't want to talk about it. Although it depends on the woman herself.
I well remember, back in the mid 1990s, mentioning something about a now closed place, that there had been a fight between two women there one afternoon. The woman I was talking to, suddenly exclaimed, "Two women fighting! Jeepers! I wish I was there!" She was in her mid forties, she then admitted she had an interest in seeing two women fighting. she spoke openly about it, and admitted she had been in a fight with a woman when she was 38 years old,
several friends of mine do like to talk about about catfights we have had with women we have had fights with. even better if they were with the same woman or women like her
