how do people head butt people without hurting themselves too?
In: Other
Your forehead is one of the thickest parts of your skull. It has a lot less nerve density, so trauma in this region isn’t very painful. It is fairly flat, so it can disperse force more evenly. Etc.
Your nose? Much more brittle, much more painful to sustain trauma. And definitely not flat enough to disperse that force evenly at all.
If you aim correctly, it isn’t really an equal exchange. It is more like a fist to the face than a face to a face, really. It still hurts to punch people–Sometimes people break their hands doing it–but it usually hurts you a lot less than it hurts whoever you punched.
Especially if you hit them on the nose.
