Any street cred I may have had when younger is looooong gone. I will debate a potential conflict originator and opt not to schwing. But, The other person should not awaken the obvious - the old man stremf is real.....

My last fight was ~2 years ago with a buddy. We were drunk. Felt bad about it for a while.


The drunk fights i used to get in with friends were usually just grappling (no homo), even drunk we never wanted to punch each other.

I followed the link and upped the Hammertime OP to a new 1400 downvote level! Is this a record for downvotes?

I would say that about 1% of the posters here have been in an actual fight in their adult lives.

We unfortunately threw a lot of punches. We fought twice over the course of an hour. Whiskey, man.

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.



I mean, you're probably both right in a sense.

Sure, bar fights kill people. Not very often though. The overwhelming majority of bar fights probably end without serious injury. But, people do get knocked out and die, it happens, so why risk it.

On the other hand, thousands of people a day suffer pretty bad accidents and go on to live normal lives. It's amazing how often a mass shooting, explosion or some other event occurs, some killed, scores are injured, and the huge majority of the injured that survive the first few hours go on to live and often largely recover. So in that sense, humans are quite resilient (great advancements in medical care help, of course).

In my 20s I did not Take shite and if someone got sideways with Me I always threw the first punch. I'm lucky I never got killed. At this point in my life I way more to lose and way too many responsibilities or get into a fist fight. Short of self defense I will do everything in my power to leave a situation.

Reality is that trashy people start fights. I'm not trashy, so that means if I'm on the verge of a fight, it's with some trashy dude.

I care more about money (which is probably at stake when any professional adult gets into a fight) than I do about keeping my pride when faced with some redneck, so I have no qualms walking away if that situation arose.

Of course, legitimate self-defense (or defense of others) is an entirely different situation.

I got in a few when I was younger. Working in tigerland and going to the bars got me into most of them.

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.

Only fight I was in as an adult was playing softball. Our team got into a brawl with the opposing team.

Also like a month or so before this incident, a guy that used to play ball with them was killed. Him and a few coworkers got into it and met up after work to fight. Supposedly dude whooped the guys arse and then the loser or his friend busted out a baseball bat and hit him in the head and killed him.



I'm glad i'm not in your softball league

My average size and smart mouth used to get me in some spots, but nothing since I grew a beard. It and the bushy eyebrows scream, "I'm willing to go farther than you are (nohomo)".

I'm pretty average size now and usually fly under the radar. I used to be pretty big in to steroids and was pretty jacked....it seemed like average sized dudes would always try to eff with me then. The funny thing was is that the steroids made me feel so damn good the last thing I wanted to do was fight.

Hammertime should have been the bigger man and walked away.
Never have walked away from one. Haven't been in a fight in a while. Calmed down, and stopped going out with the retards in New Orleans after the statues came down. Found a solid bar by my house, so the gf and I go there now

Huge muscles are the last thing you want in a fight.
