Have you ever been in a fight?

[Primal]

If so, how did it go?

And when I say fight, I'm not saying joining some boxing or martial arts gym and sparring. I'm talking like having problems with another person and getting violent.

I don't care if it's a short fight or whatever. Just tell me about it.

I've been in thirteen fights throughout my life. I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed.

Many, many fights. I was small as a child, and didn't finish growing until I was 20. I'm also legally blind (but correctible, left eye is 20/30 with glasses, that's the best they can do) and didn't get glasses until I was 11. Needless to say, didn't play sports, and all the jocks considered me fair game. Lots of fights.

I think I can count on one hand the number of fights I've had.  They were all one-or-two-punch affairs, all of which I lost, because when violence becomes necessary, you've already lost.

I only got beat down a couple of times, though.

You want the details!? I'd have to dredge up memories from decades ago. ☠️

I have an identical twin brother.  Nuff said.

Did y'all beat the snot out of each other so you'd no longer be identical? 🤠

Umm...

No? lol. Where did you get that idea?

Bro, the world needs more violence. Some people deserve to get fucking punched in the face. Get real.

Of course because of cultural refinement we choose not to, but it doesn't change the fact that lots of people deserve a fist in the mouth.

Two guys attempted to mug me once, I think. (I think they thought I was transporting drugs.) Was really early, on my way to work, pulling an early shift in a candy factory as a student.
Got punched a few times, mostly bruised in the back of the head.
All I got in was a shove. Had a bike between my legs at the time, wasn´t very mobile.

A car drove past and stopped, seeing the violence. Only was a few moments.
The thugs scrambled and drove off quickly. I too scrambled: hopped on my bike and headed to work as fast as I could. It was just two corners away.
Should have stayed to thank those people for stopping. But it is crazy how illogical you react in stressful situations.

This other time, three guys were trying to mug me, and I told them to fuck off. When they started intimidating me, I got angry and intimidated them back.
Wouldn´t recommend that course of action in General, in a three-on-one situation, but for some reason it worked.think I scared the shit out of one guy who put his hand on my face to make me look at him while I was telling his buddy to fuck right off. He couldnt withdraw his hand fast enough and I caught his indexfinger. I threatened to break it if he ever tried that again.
He was silent for the rest of the exchange.

I got paid $8.27 a day to kill people. Better pay that young man right out of high school would have expected in those days.

You lost when you got that attitude. You and the other guys beat you up.
