    I’m a guy and I’ve never felt the need to fight either. I’ve had women disappointed that I wouldn’t fight someone for them, but they might have a weapon, and they almost certainly have friends and could come back later! I don’t see a world where it’s worth the risk for me to fight someone other than immediate self defensez and even that is usually avoidable.

    Oh and miss me with puffing myself up “what! You got beef??” -type nonsense. I refuse to be a dog barking on a chain just for some stupid social standing stuff.

      The only times I’m worried about a fight is if I’m somewhere and someone with a mental illness might start something. Like the other day on the train someone was yelling very loudly to the car in general and being aggressive to people.

      I wanted to do anything but fight, but I was mentally prepping in case I had to protect my step daughter. I was so relieved when he eventually went to a different car. I was even thinking of getting off and waiting for the next train.

        That’s something that I’ve seen happen before. Also I always avoid older teens that think they’re hot shit and invincible.
