I don't want to cause any waves here, just give my opinion on "fighting."
Sometimes, the "best thing" you can do is stand there, blow it off, and walk away.
People nowadays have this perception going on in the movies, and preaching to kids about, fighting for this that and the other thing. If you don't you are a pussy/ect... Well I don't personally believe that. I am not a fighter, not a wimp by any means, but saying it would take a lot for me to get into a fistfight nowadays. Especially when I am with my girl all the time, dress nice, and don't like the attention you get from being a violent person, after the fight.
Let me explain:
I'm 28, a fairly big guy from my frame stats, and can handle myself decently enough, as the next guy, if situation came to that extent.(I almost never, ever let that happen) I don't consider myself at all less of a man for it, as well.
Being quick to fight, and trying to become involved with law enforcement don't go hand and hand. be very careful. You may get away with now, or "think" you are, but be careful. I have a lot of friends already in law enforcement, and family, and have seen it get to their heads, and them get into troubles because of it. You may get away with it now by with bouncing as a cover/aliby, but eventually you may need to tone down some, because sometimes that will not even save you. Especially now. A situation gets too hot, and before you know it, you are in jail, asking yourself "What happned?" Having a quick to fight/ solve everything about everything attitude with my fist, attitude, "especially if you are a big dude" works against you, and can land you with big trouble. Big troubles with the law (ie: police record) Seriously, don't think you have to fight all the time. every comment made at you, you let go,...you are being a pussy. You aren't. When you get to that point, where you can care less what others say, and can laugh, blow off, and can vision what fighting can really mess you up, before you consider throwing a punch, you have really helped yourself.
don't get me wrong, I believe in fighting sometimes, (if my girl was touched, or abused, after I had been touched after warnings, ect...) But in those few "rare" occasions I desperately try to stay away and avoid it by all costs. I have a very bad temper, and would love to flip and "Van Dammne" the guy, buy stay away as much as possible, and avoid fights.
Not to say at all guys who are younger fight more, are immature, or act a certain way when it comes to fighting,...Not true,..." But," I am saying, just as one gets older, older guys don't seem to fight as much. I believe it does take time to delelop patience, and you have to go through, experience, and/or realize what eventually will or can happen is very real. It will eventually mess you up, and catch up to you. I hope I helped some.
Opinion derived From "My experience," BTW.
Good Luck.
