Fight Club

@Al and Lutra
Were any of them alcohol related?  and were any over a woman?

Oh shit. A lot of them were after drinking a lot of grog but I think that did not really matter in sense of it was not the cause. We were young and defending some stupid juvenile sense of honour. You know the type of shit nowdays I would shake my head and smirk at and call the other bloke a bit of a dickhead, back then it was on.

Girls?? Yeah a few times. Stupid honour bullshit. Never actually impressed the girls though.

  I can picture it now.  You and the other guy were      and the girl was   

Yeah two meatheads bashing shit out of each other is not attractive. Nor is bloody, bruised or swollen faces. Neither is all the posturing and cursing precipitating the fight (the pissing contest).....how I did not guess that before I dunno.

[Al Swearegen]

I'm guessing that younger men fight due to testosterone surges.


I remember when the bars would close, guys would fight in the parking lot.  But never a guy who picked up a girl.
Fight or fuck, I guess.

Yup. I never saw that correlation at the time either. Never like that on the movies

One was in elementary because she was a hateful bitch that picked on me every day until I blew, but most of mine where about stray dogs.

I never did a thorough background check on them when they followed me home.

Their "owners" came after me, I beat their ass, and gave them their dog back.

Mine's gotten loose a few times but I've never once bothered the woman that fed him ...only just to ask her if she wanted to keep him when she told me how much she loved him.  She passed.

  Have any of the owners ever pressed charges against for for the ass-beatings? 

[TheoK]

I was often in fistfights as a kid. As a matter of fact, that's why my parents homeschooling me. The cowardly teachers threatened to report me to the authorities because I gave some bullies what they deserved.

[RageBeoulve]

Who has had a fight then,  i mean proper fisty cuffs not just over the interwebth.  Have you ever had cause to punch someones lights out?

Many times.

Self-defense if they had of, they came after me...and of course I never abused their precious "pets".

At least you weren't the only one not having that insight. 

[RageBeoulve]

Wrestlings fake....

LOL.

[Scrapheap]

Haven't been in any fights since I was a boot in the Corps.

I never started any fights, but didn't back down from jerks who needed an ass whoping.

[odeon]

Yes. I punched my bully at school, and then kept on hitting him until I was thrown out of class.

 
  That is fucking awesome.  You did what so many of us dream of doing!   

I have never regretted it. Also, he left me alone after that little incident.

[Parts]

Nothing beyond pushing someone out of my way since college  he  started it and was very surprised that I did anything let alone ended it

[Al Swearegen]

Thinking about it, a lot of it was pretty fucking weak. Misunderstandings, imagined insult, joke not going down so well, but mostly other guys talking themselves up and/or you down.
It was mainly just about being able to show others you were strong, tough, masculine, not to be messed with and to be respected

Oops, forgot to answer your question there, Bodie.

Alcohol related? Mmmm, cannot remember.

But no, no really. There were evening/nights with plenty of beer (mostly) but with the almost 10 fights I've been involved in alcohol wasn't in play. Well, maybe two of them indirectly.. um, with one of them I indirectly started a group fight by throwing an apple on some guys head.. and the karate dude, who I hit with the apple, turned oinky doinky on the group I was with. Oh jeeh..

Women or girls related? Um, you got a minute?

Well, I WAS quite a frustrated 'sperger kid in my puberty days. Relations that didn't 'flower' properly, early break-ups or me not being able to come across/come over as the one who had big feelings for some girl. Blahiah, but.. that frustration (and confusion also) caused that I guided it faulty and at times went aggressive towards other boys. 'Going short fused' and say, compensating for me not 'getting' the girl by getting angry at others. Stupid pride and vanity, really.

Never been a jealous guy though. Jealousy hardly ever was in my system.

Could that be a trait of HFA/AS, I'm wondering now. (lacking jealousy)



(never ever hit a woman though)

[Jack]

'sperger

That was great.
