Let’s say there’s a couple of lions and all you have on you is clothes. 
Rescue won’t arrive for three minutes.

I have alpha energy, it's all about the scenario and how you conduct yourself.

(Unlike wolves or leopards) lions and tigers work on bluffing concepts to judge the fight's worth.

If you seem ready yet don't approach them and everything about your body language makes the lion feel you're ready to fight it if need be without making it panic, the lion will stay tame, the same is true for tigers.

Leopards and wolves work different. If they're ready to attack a human, you need to hurt them hard and fast, they then either back away or need another hard strike to the stomach or something.

I don't condone animal abuse, only use in absolute emergency. I love animals, I just know that feral creatures must be understood if one wishes to survive an encounter with them, unscathed.

If the lion growls, do NOT growl back or bare your teeth. Appear calm yet alpha, have shoulders broad, stare it in the eyeball never ONCE looking away. There is always one lion more alpha than the other in such a duo scenario, deal with the alpha, the beta won't initiate.

Two lions is unfair
If one,  I would exert every bit of strategy in me to perhaps kick the lion in the testicles.

If you are a long haired man or woman, have your hair properly out, lions perceive any lack of hair as a signal of inferiority.

If you are totally bald, that is fine too.

If you have thin hair on your head steadily cover it and make a makeshift hat, do this slowly.

Lions have a perception that hair on the head signifies dominance of some kind in another being, it's why they attack creatures like zebra who have only a mohican style hairdo. This isn't a joke it's genuinely lion psychology.

How could I top a slow hat?  Maybe sculpt a faux antelope out of pee-mud and tree-bark?

okay, take on a lion with a weak-appearing hair composition, they will literally eat you alive.

They'll usually leave you alone.relax until help arrives. However you can beat a lion in a fight. What you do is shove your arm down their throat as far as possible, so they will choke to death on it. People have survived bear attacks this way, I am sure it works for lions also

DO NOT FOLLOW THE QUOTED ADVICE

It doesn't, lions are much more calculated with their bite angle than bears are. Bears have long,snouted mouths and are not as intelligent with how they use their hands and mouth in a fight, lions are extremely adept at the angle of their bites. They will notice you trying to put your arm into their mouth and use their front paws to pull your arm away, this is a habit they have with any/all fights vs armed/legged beings when biting them. 

If you watch a lion/lioness hunting a creature with long limbs (so basically something taller than a warthog), they 'tuck in' the front legs of the creature and use their own hind legs to both balance and immobilise the prey's hind legs, tripping them up tactically. A lion will not fall for you trying to punch its throat, it truly will end with you mauled beyond repair at best or you dead at worst.

Lions are extremely emotionally reactive creatures in a sadistic manner. If you show fear, they respond with aggression, if you show too much aggression their version of fear includes aggression anyway, only calm with confidence settles them.

I already did. You don't fight. There is a way with body language that 100% works unless the lion is starving.

The key is to slowly weave your hair into a little hat, you see.

You can't guarantee a hungry lion won't attack. Even if my advice is crap, it is better than what you offered when facing a lion about to chew or currently chewing  on you

Your advice is that if you are currently being chewed on, primp your hair.
