    This is true unless the people are total idiots and no committed to taking you out. I used to hang out with a complete ass who was constantly getting into altercations. He could throw a punch. He’d get all these guys lined up shoving him and just drop one if them. There was one time when a guy got back up and came at him and that turned into a headlock and three punches.

    The difference here is an experienced street fighter against a bunch of green college boys.

    He would let bouncers handle him and kick him out, etc.

    I also had a cousin who had rep as a fighter and jumped a lot. He could handle three guys too, same idea. Take one out fast

    Me? Total wimp. I was always so relived when I didn’t have to do anything but act like I’d back someone up. :)

      You sound like my ex 😂. I used to defend him until I actually heard him instigating, and guess what happened when I told him he was on his own?

        Well, it’s a long story but we had other things in common and were both pretty young dudes thrown together by circumstance. As he got older he turned into a mean drunk (just to other men, he was a real charmer with the ladies and as far as I know didn’t take that home with him but that would make him unique among others I’ve known like that so I could be wrong).

        We drifted apart after we stopped working together then he showed up out of the blue at my apartment one night really late (I didn’t have a phone at the time ), sold me a good fly rod, smoked my stash, and flew to another continent the next morning. I haven’t heard from him in almost 30 years. :)
