Is it now a requirement to engage in fights to be considered a man?

The thing is that even if hypothetically most people told you that, yes, it is a requirement, you should think that they are *insert any swear-word here*.Yes. Go out and get in one right now. Once you come back and post that you have, we will all validate your status as a man.does this make me a chicken/not a real man? i've never even been close, i don't live in a rough area, none of my friends have been in fights.

No, that probably makes you mature.blackngold29
maybe, the opportunity hasn't come up, so it's not like i've ever really had to walk away. except the odd time when i was at at discos and some "tough nut" people might walk up and accuse you of insulting them or saying htat you pushed them or whatnot, but they always ALWAYS had a crowd behind them so i always just said it's cool kinda thing, defused it a bit, and then walked away. or maybe i was a baby
You should only fight if you have to....Now if your being picked on...and u don't fight back. That's a different story...MgamerBD
group of older teenagers (17ish) at least 5 of them, try and start on a few of us younger, smaller ones, is it pathetic to not fight back? in case it sounds like im being sarcastic, im not, should honour and stuff come first?

So what if you had walked away from a fight? :?No matter the absurdity of the person that is attacking you or provoking you for a fight what is the shame in not wanting to engage in a fight even if it is out of fear?
Its one thing being brave and something else being stupid by not being sensible.
ehh... walk away bloody? What's so shameful about losing?to those of you who have been in a fight, and you lost, what did you do then? hide in shame?

It's pretty stupid if you attack the bully. The bully wants that reaction. You should just ignore him.
Not always, sometimes they just want to make you miserable without being able to physically dominate you. If you're able, making a bully cry with pain in public can be a pretty effective way of getting them to leave you alone. Worked for me at least.I'm a pacisfist, but if you get in a fight and lose it's not the end of the world.to those of you who have been in a fight, and you lost, what did you do then? hide in shame?

Seventeen? Are you serious? Still so insecure that they need to pick on vastly inferior (no offense) people? They should have grown out of that when they were fourteen...
I've never fought anyone either. I get along with most people. The ones I don't I just don't talk to.
The ones I lost were when i was a kid. I don't know how we stopped fighting. But if I lost I'd usually be crying in shame. I don't ever remember hiding. lolto those of you who have been in a fight, and you lost, what did you do then? hide in shame?

No.The ability to control yourself is a talent. Kudos to you if you can simply walk away from apotential fight. It shows that you don't need to prove anything to anyone, and you're much morementally and intellectually maturethan the idiot trying to pick the fight.

yeah, members of the travelling community i think they were. some are very tough, some not so much.

or else chickens tell themselves that, to help them sleep. i dont know.
tbh, i think i would fight if the situation really called for it, i don't think i could live with myself if i thought i had been a massive coward. i've never had a reason yet.

ehh... walk away bloody? What's so shameful about losing?i dont know, i was wondering if it is shameful. i guess not, someone has to lose.
And if it's a brawl(like you described),it can't be at all-since it isn't a face to face thing,you can elbow a passing guy and then squeeze the goin of a guy behind you.It's a world of opprotunities..:P I really don't see a reason to avoid physical conforntation at all costs.[QUOTE="SgtKevali"][QUOTE="MgamerBD"]You should only fight if you have to....Now if your being picked on...and u don't fight back.

You should never attack someone, unless it's in pure self defense.
No, that probably makes you mature.blackngold29not really.. fighting for the right reasons is what makes you mature. There is nothing negative about engaging in physical combat.. and no shame in losing either if you're standing up for yourself.

Your not fighting for honor...your fighting so they will leave u alone. If u fight back and hit them really good...they will stop. If u just take it...they won't.I've never lost a fight.

what started them?
One of them was because a bigger kid on the playground decided it'd be cool to wrestle me to the ground and jump on me. The other was over an obscene comment directed towards a girl (this fight ended in like two seconds).I've only really fought my brother and exchanged a few punches with some of my friends over the years, but I've never been in a full out fight either. I don't really think anything of it. I mean I'm 20 now. If I was in a fight and injured the other person I would have a lot to deal with. It's not really worth it

Are they still messing with you?

ya, being 17 myself now, it's quite a concern, the charges can be really tough, i guess it really ain't worth it now.
