No, the moment anyone threatens me with physical violence I get on my knees and offer to suck their dick.95% of the time they're freaked out and leave.

Yup.

Destroyed a bully in junior high in the gymn change room in front of all the kids. My reputation was solid through to nearly the end of the highschool.

Then, near the end of high school, a kid a couple of grades older than me, who was clearly out of high school and in trouble with the law alot (you can tell just by looking at these guys) bullied a smaller kid. I thought I had a clue, because you know, I won that one fight years ago and stood up for the kid. We squared off and this kid was not only older, but he had fought before and had skill. He baited me into tossing the first swing, he just waited and cracked me one and drew blood.

Instead of squaring off, the proper attack posture would have been to just ram him into the corner between the arcade machine and wall, pin him down and kicks his head in, not square off and give him time to set me up.

Lesson learned.

Competence is not walking around thinking you are hot shit. Competence is knowing what you know, knowing what you don't know and being situationally aware to evaluate the risk apropriately at all times.

It was an exceptional lesson. When I watch Joe Rogan, I only watch it for how calmly he handles every single situation, like a lion that know he can rip apart the gazelle sitting across him in that room. Although not a great example of competence, it is an extraordinary example of projection of dominance that all men need to learn.

As the once great Bill Burr once said, every once in awhile you need a good punch to the face.

Yup. I remember 3. 1, Got kicked hard in the nuts and when I doubled over they kicked me again. 2. I flirted with a dudes sister and he got his hands around my neck. I panic-laughed like a loon and eventually gave up because he thought I was insane. 3. We were punching and he got me in the sternum hard and I raked him in the eyes and punched him in the nads on the way down. So he kicked me a few more times.

I..suck at fighting... LOL

This doesn't include Fencing. I lose all the fuck time...

Yes. And it sucks. But it's developmental I think.

I lost a fight because of bad footwear. I had on flip flops. Proper footing is so important in a fight. I bouncer told me about an experience he had with 4 big football players. All were drunk and violent. However he dismissed the 3 that had on flip flops and zeroed in on the one guy with sneakers. Sure enough the sneaker guy was the hardest to handle and the 3 dudes with flips flops he had no problems throwing them out. One of the 3 removed his flip flops to gain better traction and the bouncer just stomped his foot and the fight was over. I countered with aren't MMA fighter barefoot all the time he said yes but very few people he encounters are trained fighters. To a trained fighter footwear is no big deal but to non fighters like me I now make sure I wear proper shoes all the time.

Lots of times
