Do you remember the quote from Fight Club: "How much can you possibly know about yourself if you've never been in a fight?" So, have you ever been in a real fistfight? I've been a few times myself and the last time I hit the guy, I totally smashed my knuckles and couldn't even punch a pillow for a few months after with my right hand (I won btw). I don't really want to talk about it on mylot but maybe you have some interesting story to share...

I used to fight alot when I was in high school. I couldn't tell ya how many times the cops had to show up at my house over some fist fight. I even fist fought an ex boyfriend once. He busted my lip up and gave me a pretty good knot on my forehead but I blacked his eye so it kinda was even. I have calmed down alot since I had my daughter but I always blacked out during fights. And that was kinda scary.

I have only had a couple of fights, but the worse one was I had to deal with these guys at a bus stop when I was a teenager. They wanted something I didn't have, and they were going to beat it out of me; rob me. It was six against one (me), and they had weapons and I had nothing. I was on my was to school one day. The only thing I had was my size (at the time, I was 17, 5'7" and 280 pounds from football). But I was the one in handcuffs when the police arrived, despite the witnesses saying that I was being robbed. They let me go, even though they wanted me to go to jail (it took four officers to pin me down). Later on, I saw some of those guys again, and I wanted to go after them. I was walking with some friends, and they did all they could to keep me back (remember, I play football and learned how to tackle using pickup trucks so it would take a crowd to stop me). I got in trouble because I caught two of them and went savage beast on them for revenge. They blamed steroids for my behavior, but I didn't do that, and tests proved it. I just wanted revenge, I just happen to be big, strong, angry, and loaded with hormones. After that people backed off from messing with me fearing that I would rip them to pieces.

Yes..many times in fact it was like one per day....when I was in school I use to fight every day....I had more enemies in school than friends...although my fights never turned into anything major...once I fight with a new student on his first day...the next day he was shifted to the other division...

yes, with my brother a lot. We end up throwing things at each other. That was when we were in schooling and almost everyday we argue on something. He is away from us now due work and I felt relief that we didn`t end up hating each other but considered ourselves as brothers and sisters now.

I hate fight at what reason.i always avoid to fight because it's hurt me and evrybody involved.That's not my style to solve the problems.In Malaysia fighting only happened between gangstars and underground groups.

Well I played Ice Hockey for 12 years! So I'd say between 100 and 150! I'm not proud of this but the emotion of the game and the nature of it seemed like the right thing to do at the time! Throw in a couple of drunken barroom brawls and I can say yes I've been in a few! I also tended bar and had no bouncer at a pretty rowdy bar in the Mountains of Idaho and had to throw a few drunks out and sometimes that wasn't pretty either! LOL! I'm a pretty Big guy and could hold my own in most of them but did get injured a few times! tdemex

i spent a good part of my life fighting either against bullies or my brother. i have won many and lost almost as much. ive had my noise broken, ive have been with steal poles. and i have done some mean things to others such as hitting someone with a hammer in the head, knocking someone teeth out. yeah now i dont fight no more because my body is all screwed up from being hurt so many times. but if i had to defend myself i could do it

Hi Bionicman, ...Something to be proud of for winning the fist fight LOL! I never been into fight. I used to be the mediator and pacifier. I am a peace loving person and will exert extra effort to establish a friendly but professional relationship at work.
