Reasons to avoid fighting...in no particular order;
Litigation is expensive
hospitals are expensive
funerals are expensive
people might miss you if you get killed
getting handcuffed by the police isn't a pleasant experience
jails are no fun even if the stay is short
retaliation
Looking over your shoulder all the time grates on one's nerves
ripped and y clothes aren't badges of honor
chicks really don't dig scars
really hurting someone is disturbing to someone with certain morailties.
if someone wants to fight me, why should I do what he wants?
These are just things I thought of right off the top of my head. None of them are really worth it because someone wants to be an ass. Perhaps its a difference of perception. I don't think of fights as two kids rough housing in a school yard. To me a fight is quick, vicious, and dangerous.
'nuff said. rep + to you man. Fighting is laaaast resort, like wife/kids in danger last resort. Finally this is in no way meant to sound like i'm tuff because i don't see myself that way, but if i'm going to get arrested i will make it worth my while and it will not end well.

You got it in one on all fronts. And like most everyone here, I won't fight unless absolutely necessary. There was a guy bashed to death @ Sydney Airport by multiple attackers recently & even hearing about that sent shivers down my spine. Although we train to defend against multiple attacks in many styles, being outnumbered is frought with danger. The desire to fight is a lot like the desire to become a politician. The fact that you actually want to do it should be enough to stop you from doing it!!!!!!

They do like guys that fight though. A lot of girls like the "Bad Boy" type, which includes guys that get into fights. (Of course this is the type of girl that will probably get you into more fights and they don't like guys that lose so you better win every time lol)

Given your forum signature statement about making good decisions, you must stay away from that kind of girl!!!!.

This is my philosophy, I try my hardest not to start fights, in fact I never start fights, I dont care if people call me names or anything because I have no ego to protect and am better than that. Second, I try so hard not to get into fights that if someone came at me I would consider it a direct threat on my life and would do what was needed to be done to get out in one piece(thats where my Krav training comes in) I would never fight to win a fight and defend my honor, the only time I would fight was to stay alive. If you come at me intending to bring bodily harm I will do my best to neutralize you as quick as possible and get away. "I have given you the opportunity to attack me, the only thing left to give you is my life, and I am not about to do that." This is my philosophy on real life fighting.

My wife does'nt like guys that fight but it was cool to show off in front of her at demos when we were dating.

Its more of the younger girls that like it. As they get older and more mature they realize that those "Bad Boys" they liked so much, aren't such great people and don't typically make good husbands.

That's another reason why girls like guys that can fight.
__________________ I'm still alive so I must have made some good decisions
Have I won every fight I have ever been in? NO!!!!
Have I ever WANTED to be in a real world fight? NO
What is my first responce to a fight situation? Run like hell
Whats my second responce? Lets talk
Whats my third responce? Back off this could get ugly, seriously!
Whats my fourth responce? Fight, Fight hard, Fight Fast, Fight to Win, Don't let them get a fight in edgewise.
What are my main reasons for getting into fights?
1) Someone I care about was introuble and can't run as fast as me
2) My opponent can run faster than me and is too stupid to listen to reason
3) A friend of mind is too stupid to listen to reason
4) I don't have anywhere to run too
5) The person hurt my friend and or someone else infront of me and I saw pure unadulterated RED
((In the case of number 5 I would probably loose because I give up on defence and just try to beat the person senseless... Which is something my training is has helpped me over come))
