Edit: to answer the OP, I have not been a fight since college, about 12 years ago. I've been in 4 fights in my life, don't plan on being in another one.

It's been 8 years for me. A friend got jumped in the Bogies parking lot and I snuck the fukk out of an urban guy who was kicking him while he was on the ground. He dropped like a sack and I hauled arse with my friend. I've been in 3 or 4 "fights" and I never started one. I regret not doing more to get away from them. My nose is crooked AF

Mature grown men tend to grow out of getting into fights unless absolutely necessary. A grown man who is still fighting at the bar room or whatever is simply trashy.

I'm a lover, not a fighter. And I'm not very good at either one.

You talking about weekends or weekdays? Weekend fights are almost mandatory, ya know. I typically avoid them on weekdays though......Unless of course, its a holiday.

Nah, man. Human bodies are fragile. Way more fragile than most people seem to realize. It doesn't take much or even a particularly strong man to beat someone to death with their bare hands. People who get into fights take that risk every time whether they recognize it or not. That's why you have to be immature, stupid, and/or trash to get into fights when you have any other options at all.

I find it more impressive that a guy is intelligent and diplomatic enough to go through life without having to be in a fight than some trash guy who tries to beat the shite out of any guy who looks at him wrong.

Pretty sure BRgetthenet will take that as flirting and possibly even foreplay.

Only fight I was in as an adult was playing softball. Our team got into a brawl with the opposing team. fricked up part was there were other teams there watching us play, and those teams knew that team we were playing against and were from the same town as them (we were playing out of town).

Travel softball must be pretty serious business

No. You have no idea what you are talking about. If you pay attention at all you hear about people dying in bar fights all the time. Just a few years ago a guy was killed from a single punch. That's the end of 2 lives for stupid shite. Even if it isn't that bad, if you hit someone hard enough to knock him out then you have just caused permanent brain damage. There's a reason boxers go stupid not so late in life.

Two co-workers got in a fight in 2002 at the Daquiri shop on Essen. One killed the other with a single hard punch.

Didn't even get arrested. Came back to work and everything. (no one liked other guy- "lil V-Ice" everyone called him)

Fighting is for the trash of the earth. People with nothing to lose. I have too much to lose to get in fights with people I don't care about. There's a reason you don't see fistfights in upscale eateries/bars.

You'd have to do something really egregious for me to kick your arse.

Last "fight" I was in I knocked out one of my fraternity brothers while we were in Charleston at a formal. It wasn't really a fight. I just knocked him out and then put him on a bed.
