How Many Fights Have You Been In?

[Einherjar86]

Only one that could really be counted, I guess. I was in a club in Cambridge and some guy knocked my change out of my hand as I was reaching over to the bar to order a drink. It wasn't the guy's fault. He was drunk and trying to hug someone. But I was having a bad night (due to an issue with a girl) and was a little drunk, so I shoved him. His eyes went wide and he came back at me and asked what my problem was. I said something like "You fucking knocked my change out of my hand!" and he swung at me. I was able to step away from him (I think his drunkeness wasn't helping him), but before I could swing back a bouncer fucking lifted me off the floor with one arm. Feeling like a fucking three-year old, I looked up at him. He just shakes his head at me and goes "We don't want none of that here mate." He set me down, and I apologized to the guy, whose friends were apologizing to me for some reason. I felt read bad afterwards.

On another occassion I tried to start something with a guy in a moshpit who was pissing the shit out of me. He kept knocking into me while I was trying to watch the concert, so I slammed into him and almost knocked him over (but I'm a little guy, so I couldn't really do much). He just turned and looked at me, spread his arms and started walking towards me. Then my friend (who's bigger than me) pulled me back, put up his arm and said "We don't want any trouble." So that ended quickly too. And it's definitely a good thing, because I would have gotten my ass kicked. The guy was my height, but was probably twice as thick as me.

EDIT: and there was one other time that's pretty funny. I was at a party, and there was some guy there speaking in an Irish accent. I do a pretty good Irish accent when I'm not drunk. But anyway, that night I was drunk, and one of my friends told me she thought the guy was faking. So I thought I'd fuck with him. I went up to him and started talking with an Irish accent, pretending to be from Ireland. He kept going along with it, which made me nervous (I was trying to call him out), so I finally just gave up and said "Have a good night" still in the accent. I went back to my friend and said "I don't think he's faking..." and not five seconds later, the guy comes up and shoves me and starts screaming in my face "I knew you were faking!" Thankfully, the party was at my friends' apartment, so most of the people there were my friends. The guy had to leave. Again, I felt like shit. But I still blame my one friend for telling me he was faking.

All the fights I (almost) get into seem to be no one's but my own fault.

heaps when i was younger,mainly against older bigger guys,i'm also schooled in Jujitsu,Judo and boxing,like a couple of you guys have mentioned if ya stick up for yourself at school especially against older bigger guys they leave you alone but once when i was 15 playing senior AFL footy this huge dude nailed me not once but three times,i almost done backflips he hit me so hard but i got a good one in despite my head spinning and when he found out how old i was he never played again,managed to split his nose all the way down the side,way too old for that now,only bullies really deserve a good kicking lol

 

[cookiecutter]

None. I am an agreeable guy and despite being above average height I am pretty thin, so I don't think I would win many fights. I can't even think of a time when there has even been a chance of me fighting someone.

 

[tagradh]

30-40 or so.

 

[Lotus-Eater]

My wife kicked my ass several times when we were first married. 15 years ago. That was when I was a drunken, junkie.....

 

[sevag00]

I voted for 5-10, excluding fights with friends.

 

[tagradh]

Me and my mates have had a few play fights that that were pretty violent but I didn't count that. Didn't count anything that was during sports either else the number would be hundreds hah.

 

[Blind Guardian]

None, really. I have always got along with people and do not have a bad temper.

Once as a kid on my street growing up we had an official fight between this dirty scrubby kid and me. I think I assumed I would win because I thought myself somehow better than him. He quickly proved me wrong. It wasn't a big thing. I think at Elementary school I may have got in a fight. I can't really remember much. In high school this big black guy stopped me when I was leaving the bike-rack area and told me to give him his bike (it was my bike). He punched me in the face one time. Then some teachers were coming, so he left. The hit chipped one of my teeth. My little sister made him apologize later that week or the next week. She knew him.

One time when i was going home from school, an even bigger black guy came and beat the shit out of me with a brick, and then he stole my Yoshi.

Yeah, I was referring to the impressive circumference of your biceps, which would seem to be an excellent deterrent.

Seems that less people fuck with me now. I should have started working out in high school because i was a little shrimp, instead of smoking weed every day.

Been in over 20, living in a place like this, where chavs rule the streets its hard not too.

I think my size also had some to do with how few fights I have been in, along with just getting along with people and not having a temper. Not that I am huge, but I am about 6 to 6-1. Started working out in high school, plus constantly riding my BMX bike and jumping and doing tricks. So I developed a pretty muscular build, with extra larger forearms, probably from BMX/freestyle riding, and my shoulders are naturally wide.

 

[SentinelSlain]

My wife kicked my ass several times

I wouldn't admit that. In fact I probably wouldn't be able to deal with that.

 

[AchrisK]

I wouldn't admit that. In fact I probably wouldn't be able to deal with that.

It's not that big of a deal, especially if you're not a wife-beater. Typically men should not hit women.

 

[SentinelSlain]

if you wont hit your wife and she beats you up then that's pretty bad.

 

[AchrisK]

I would welcome a beating from my wife, if I was a junkie. I may not feel like that at the time, but I am sure I would deserve it.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Ignoring the junkie element.
I would fight back tbh. I promised myself when I was younger after something happened that I wont go into, that I will always try and defend myself, whoever it is. If even they [wife] aren't looking out for me then I have to.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Napoleon you couldnt hurt a fly.

 

[CF87]

I've never been beaten up by a female and just have been threatened and have only been slapped in the face and hit in the nuts.

when a female slaps me in my head and am like WHATEVER. it's funny

If it makes you feel better and intimidating and you think you have balls and you're pissed and upset over something stupid get it out of your system please.

 

[tagradh]

Indeed.

None, but it's bound to happen soon. I've gotten more of a temper and more aggressive towards people as I've gotten older. when I was younger I was more passive and not as agressive towards people, but now since I'm older I'm more prone to respond, etc.. I don't know, it seems normally when people get older they mellow out, but not me.
