Current Events > Ever been in a physical confrontation as an Adult?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Dude was very drunk and I convinced him to chill and hug it out.

No, I never even find myself in these positions in the first place because I'm a likable person w/ good conversational skills

Adult yes but its been quite a few years. The last fights I got into were in my military days but I have been out of the military since 1999. It used to happen to me when I frequented bars and clubs back then. People always wanted to start shit with me randomly because I was a "big guy" and because they suspected I was in the Navy (short military haircut and tattoos) Not huge by any means but 6'2" and in my prime military days I had bulked up from my 197 in high school to be about 225. For whatever reason that always seemed to trigger drunk assholes.

That or the people I was with got into fights at bars and inevitably that meant you were involved too. Young and stupid shit. I'm not a violent person, not an aggressive person, not easy to anger. It was simply the environment and people that had a strong dislike because we were military and then of course often fueled by booze. Add in youth and the testosterone was flowing apparently.

But since those days hell no. I have broken up a few since then but never had to actually be in one.

I would go looking for people who were looking for trouble as a defined-by-tc young adult. Stupid, but I won, and I think I learned some things from it. Beyond my early 20s, no one has fucked with me even when I was hoping they would.

If you count martial arts, of course I've won and lost.

I wouldnt get physically violent unless I needed to protect someone else or defend myself. The risks are never worth the rewards.
Also, I live in areas where cops would be around in minutes. Im the anti-social weirdo, so the cops would be on my side if I was swinging anyway.

When I was younger, I did warehouse work. People would run their mouths all the time and threaten to fight eachother across the street after work. So I got into a few fights from that.

It was such a weird experience, because they'd see me work and be fine while they were half dead from the same thing. Then we'd go after that to fight. It's incredibly easy to just grab an exhausted person and do whatever you want to them.

Beyond that a few 10 second bar fights where they're immediately broken up and no one gets an actual hit in.

2 minutes. You just type something, copy it, paste it, change the ending.

Thankfully no, other then wrestling to get myself out of bed or chairs.

Yeah, with my dad when he went psycho and tried to kill me.

No. I wouldn't say I have "good" conversation skills, but I'm likeable enough so there's very little reason for anyone to pick a fight with me anyway.

Fighting isn't worth it outside of High School, not unless you're defending yourself or others.

Came close in 2020. Asked me to step outside and I accepted. But I was stopped by someone else.

Like 7-8 years ago in a bar in Austin. It was broken up by security before anything could come of it though.

Something potentially topic derailing

Bro I love you. You Ive probably spent more time than most trying to help you out? But like can you start your own topic for this type of stuff instead of just using mine as segways?

That lucky bastard, hope he went to Vegas after

Nope, not at all. I'm a chill person in general. Never had someone get even remotely close to wanting to fight me. I've definitely had people make little snide comments under their breath, but I just laugh about it in my head instead of getting confrontational. No idea why people say things under their breath like that so much. I've seen several fights start that way "The fuck did you just say!?" and then they're all up in each other's faces. Just think it, don't verbalize it lol.

no way, i dont associate with people
