Do you ever get the urge to get into a fight?

I am by no means a big guy, nor a bully. However, perhaps it's all this testosterone, but I do have a desire to get into a fight, should the situation call for it. (e.g; Someone picks a fight with a friend at a bar, so I jump in to help out my friend). Hell, the last time I got into a fight was 5th grade (about 12 yrs. ago), so I'm due. :) A friend of mine feels the same way. Is this a typical guy-thing?

I'd probably get my ass handed to me tho'... :eek:

typical guy thing..

I'm a pretty big guy, but im very passive, because if i do have to get into a fight it's not gonna be pretty. I got a friend who wants to fight all the time, i guess it's just a way to release yourself. :confused:

Have u guys seen the movie " Fight Club " ??

Those FClubs are for real, so why not join such a group when you've got to fight...

With words, all the time, but usually in a 'friendly' way, so you can still be friends afterwards.

physically, never, not even when i'm royally drunk, i usually laugh like a fool, and fall asleep.

yeah...by listening to Limp Bizkit "Break Stuff"....I get pretty wound up...but never fight...fighting is pretty useless if you ask me...unless of course its a necessity..

Never. I usually do everything in my power to avoid a physical confrontation. Too much of a risk of injury to the sensitive skin around my knuckles.

Hmm... maybe I just need more sex then... :eek:

I don't think I've ever had the urge to fight when drunk actually. If anything, it probably occurs moreso after I've worked out.

It's normal, don't worry about it. It's one of primal instincts as men. Once you're in a fight it gets even better, the flood of adrenaline causes euphoria. It's defintelty a good release. I don't really look for fights, but if my back is to a wall I will fight.

After a bunch of beers, yeah. My buddies and I like to mix it up with each other once in a while. Nothing too serious, but sometimes it gets out of control.

If I had to protect me or someone I loved, then yes, I would fight. I would avoid it at all possible if I could, I just don't like dealing with resulting consequences.

Last time I wanted to get into a fight was in July. I'd just failed some certification exam and I knew it was 100% due to my laziness and not studying enough. There was nobody to blame except myself and I knew it. it made me very angry at myself. I drove very agressively and in retrospect should have taken a few chill pills.

Sometimes, but I have a fear of the Junta effect. I would hate to accidently kill someone.

I'm a VERY passive individual, and haven't gotten in a fight in over a decade...other than last weekend. I have a friend who is very short (5'6"), and he thinks everyone who looks his direction is making fun of him, and goes crazy about it. He was in my area last weekend, so we headed for a bar to catch up on everything that's been going on over the last 4 years or so since I had seen him, hit on a few women, etc. Well, after drinking entirely too much, he started getting pissed off about how this other guy was "looking at him". I managed to calm him down, and we decided to call it a night. Well, bad luck, as we were leaving, so was the dude who had set him off and his two friends. At least we managed to make it outside before my friend started running his mouth. So nice of him to go after that one guy and leave me with two to keep out of the fight...

Did I mention I hate fighting?
