I think theres a distinction between guys who clearly have an inferiority complex or are going through a overcompensatory phase after beeing treated poorly. Kinda like when guys in here swallow the red pill and think why did i put up with shit from women all these time i must have my revenge. Others guys just like a fair fight, probably cause they have been in so many that they lose all the fear related to them. I guess OP was talking about the first type of guy the one whos obnoxious and a huge douchebag and every time you go out with him you think jeez not this shit again, i dunno if that makes me a pussy but i would not want to be that guy.

Just like women don't have 'Slut' word for themselves (no matter how trashy they are), I am sure these guys won't know the word 'douche bag'

You really think these MMA guys have never been in a street fight?

Or do you think they are all really well balanced "Zen" individuals that will make them always just "walk away" and be the bigger man?

I'm saying they don't start street fights. Sure, it probably happens, but 99.9% probably try to avoid it. They're underpaid as it is, and getting injured in a meaningless confrontation can have a detrimental effect on their livelihood. I'm against street fighting, but I'm confident in my assessment that I'm probably one of the posters here with the most violence in their past, doesn't mean I go out looking for it. It just comes.


Most of the dudes I trained with were normal dudes. Sure, there's always a few hot heads. We didn't go out looking for fights or anything like that.

You really think all these guys realize this?

Even after 20 drinks?

Even these guys?





Who about the guy that ripped out the other guys heart and ate it?

What about this guy?

How about all the thousands of guys that come up when you type in "MMA fighter arrested"?

Just the exception?

I remember that. Happened not far from my neck of the woods. Crazy shit. I almost think I may have wrestled that guy in high school and got a fucked up shoulder out of the ordeal, though I'm not convinced it's the same guy yet.

As far as fighting goes, I can't stand the guys that go out looking for fights with people who don't want to fight. If you like to slug it out, there are plenty of other guys in the world who are just as into it as you are. Have at it. But fucking with people who don't want it is just fucked up and, yes, uncivilized.

I've always been the one to take violence up about five notches in an instant because it's so hard to provoke me into a fight that you really have to be trying your ass off to do it, and if it gets there I'm taking it as a threat against my life.

I've always been the guy to get singled out by these douchebags when I'm just out having a good time and nothing pisses me off more than someone ruining my night in this manner.
