i would never get in a fight when out with my wife
because no matter how hard i was provoked she doesnt not understand violence in any form
or indeeds mans compulsion to fight when riled
the only exception was when a druggie came up and started harrassing her when she was walking down the street with me
i asked him politely to leave by punching him in the face
she didnt give me shit but wanted to go home about 10 mins later so it spoiled the evening
I don't like getting into any street fights. I will also avoid them at all costs.
You just never know what the other guy is carrying. Here in New York City, we have too many tough guys with guns strapped to their hips.
If I am out and about, I typically give everyone the right of way in the streets. If some "tough" guy wants to skip the line somewhere or needs to get in front of me, I just let him go on his merry way.
If my loved ones where placed in danger, I would first talk to the person starting trouble, see if I can defuse the situation and, in the meantime, gesture for them to slowly (not to obvious) walk away from the spot. Then, if after talking it out a little and maybe trying to spark a laugh or two in the process he still doesn't budge, I would then take as close of a look as I can to see if he has a weapon of some sort (which you can never be too sure of) and if he still persists I "might" fight him. The vast majority of times, the person in front of me is more terrified of fighting than they are tough (they essentially try to call your bluff with the tough guy tactics - scream, puff up their chest, wave their arms around and do random fist pumps) and when they notice that I am relatively friendly and not interested in their spiel, they typically walk away screaming obscenities like, "Fuck you fa
ggot, cock sucking fairy, ass licker OR, my favorite one, I thought so fa
ggot".
Truth be told, I'd much rather they call me a few derogatory terms as they walk away than to risk walking away with any bodily harm to me or the family, a probable arrest or, worst of all, damaging a nice suit from Tom Ford.
