It's funny, there was a Kung Fu school in Southern California way back in the day [60's] that was Tongs all the way. At their promotions they would ask the question "what would you do if somebody goosed your girlfriend?". Most of the guys would say something like "I would talk to the guy about manners" but one black guy said "I'd have to jack that dude up"... that probably set him off on a different learning path 
How did your lady react??Next time do the same thing, get in your car and go back after them. Use that 4000 lbs. of Detroit Iron as a weapon.
unless you are bruce lee you won't find a solution that has no
negative consequence for yourself ... accept it. some situations
are like that. do not have too much of a predefined plan, unless
you want to stick to decisions that might be utterly stupid in the
very specifics of the situation.
i guess the answer of a warrior would be to avoid the conflict at
any cost, but once it is unavoidable strike without warning, hesitance
or mercy. until then, the warrior swallows his pride. read sun tsu ...
Agree overall, but...
Even if you ARE Bruce Lee with a "solution" to the problem... and one, just one, of the low-lifes happens to pack heat - or merely a Taser, or lowly pepper spray - you're still fucked. Possibly, you're also maimed or dead... perhaps of slightly less use to your ex-gf in that case. Only in a Hollywood fantasy world does a martial artist handily crush multiple armed bad guys with his bare hands and feet, every time.

i knew some guy who just had to stand in his specific way to get
the others alarmed, and if he just punched once, they really had
to be tough not to get worried ... so the mental game can flip in
favour of the single man as well. but you are right. the real street
people can be very dangerous to each and everyone.
other thing is that you must not forget that a stupid reaction might
actually endanger your girl. if you are a true "hero", you'd swallow
your pride, bring her to a safe place and then return ... but then
you are probably a quite stupid "real" hero ...
I saw an interview with a kid that was living in the dang Shaolin monastery and mastering the fighting arts. He said they train people to take on 3 combatants with open hand and I think it was 10 with the long stick.
Personally, I have had a problem with a carload of guys. What happened was that there was one little loudmouth, another guy that never seemed to be incited to do anything to me and a couple of guys that were initially going to help kill me with rocks but I apologized to them all and after awhile I noticed that the two guys were talking and they seemed to be deciding that what they were doing was nuts, that left one little loudmouth with no backing. I should have kicked the shit out of him. I still recall the look on his face when he realized that he had no backing!! I had things to do that day so I just went on with the day, I've never felt like I was on this earth to teach lessons to idiots that they can figure out on their own.
Probably if I had a bunch of guys catcalling at my girlfriend I would give them the big grin and keep on walking. What a fight would come down to is one of them has to die and the rest get to beat me to a pulp, better to just enjoy and ignore.
I have a friend that is a 5th degree guy in a brutal school, he is 35 years or so into the same school. I asked him what he does if somebody gives him the finger while he's driving to work. He told me he blows them a kiss!!
Yes, but at least you were able to walk on your own. If your woman was at all disillusioned with your conduct and expected more, then it's time for you do do some shopping...for a new missy. It's one thing to give it your all when you are fighting for your life. It's quite another to risk grievous personal harm in order to appear "cool." Anyone who thinks otherwise lives in the movies.
when looking down the barrel of a .44 mag they all of a sudden find many reasons to live.... yeah baby...
i had to put my gun away for good when i was faced with a lunatic slamming the hood of my car at a red light and i found myself with my gun between my legs and not knowing what the f**k i was going to do from there....I told him calm down and apologized profusely...had he taken them extra steps i might have been i nthe 10-20 to life gig...
