Why is it so hard to get into a fight when the guy you wanna beat deserves it?
Last night I was at the pub and talking to this girl I know. Her guy friend came over and asked if she had a light and she passed him a lighter and dropped it, it landed at my feet. I leaned over and grabbed it and gave it to the guy. Then he stood up and purposely dropped it again. I said, "You're getting it this time." Then he says, "I was just busy admiring your sweater." (I was wearing a cable-knit). I said, something back, what I can't remember.
Then, I followed the guy outside. He was having a cigarette and so I lit one up and got really close to him and just started giving him the, "Hey, douchebag, let's rumble" look. And he wouldn't even make eye contact. So, I said, "Don't wanna look at my sweater now?" And he still wouldn't make eye contact.

Made me mad, that guy needed and ass-kicking.

3. She was his friend!
That's what I don't get. He must have a crush on her or something. Maybe he thought I was some pub letcher instead of a guy who knows her.

8. umm, you just crack the motherfucker in the jaw
there is no "hummina, hummina, you wanna fight dude woo woo" about it.

no pushing or shoving either.

just haul off and hit the fucking guy.

anything less, then no one really wants to fight. they just want to look like a badass.

15. you get one anyway
unless the cops are cool, or unless it's your bar, then they cover for you.

but there is no negotiation with fighting. the best thing is to just hit them. that way they aren't prepared and you have a better chance of neutralizing any potential threat. especially if you knock them out or knock them to the ground. then you can proceed to stomp them real good.

you don't need someone's consent. just kick ass and take names.

17. Not a good idea
I'm a regular there... if he decided to press charges he could find me very easily. And I'm not losing my right to travel for some assbag in the pub. I'll save it up for a big hiest.

29. either party to a fight could be charged, depending on the cops
the guy needs an ass kicking, you hand one out. if you're worried about the charges, sit the hell down.


i'm really not that aggressive, i promise, but i've been in my share of bar fights. if it comes down to it, you finish it as fast as you can and you get outta dodge. of course, not letting it come down to it is your best option.

34. or go to bars where you know everyone
and they know you (since you were a kid) and your family.

then they lock the door and everybody gets to go all family style on some hapless fuckstick.

31. yeah, that and aggravated assault
assault/great bodily harm, etc. etc.

there are many gradations of illegality involved with beating someone up.

bar fights though - i've never seen the cops go all gangbusters on two drunk schmuckos duking it out.

seriously though, if a person is afraid to spend 3 hours in lock up, they probably shouldn't be boastful about their "street fighting" ways.

venue counts a lot too: yuppie joints with plenty of well behaved people - the bouncers usually will control it and the cops never show up.

so you usually get two pretty boys dancing around each other to impress some coke-addled bar chicks who are still trying to squeeze out every last gasp of their sorority glory days.

no big deal.

35. Dude, I'm in Canada
If I hit a guy and he doesn't hit me back, I'm looking at charges and losing my right to leave the country for five years. We don't just throw people in lockup for the night for such things.

10. Pack mentality.
He wouldn't make eye contact, showing his subservience. Dogs and wolves do the same thing.

Animals are animals.

Good showing, by the way. Ya alpha-dog, ya. :toast:

21. Are you sure you're on the right forum?
"Guys Awash in Their Own Testosterone" is several doors down.

22. You walk outside, and smash that cigarette all over his face.
Just smear that cigarette he is smoking all over. And in the process break his nose, and walk away.

43. Are you SURE you're Canadian?
When people around you are acting retarded, there's no real reason to conform to your peer group. Honestly, if it weren't for the pub and cigarets, this would sound like a narrative by a 13 year old.
