This is often the first question I get from friends when they start asking me about my adventures in bar security. I think it's kind of odd when I'm talking to guys I know and they've never been in a physical altercation throughout their entire lifetime. I thought it was pretty common for a guy to have been in at least one fight throughout growing up.
I guess it just seems weird that some of my outgoing, obnoxious, frat-boy friends from school have never even been in so much as a shoving match and I know I had been in at least a half dozen fights before college. My high school wasn't that rough, and they were all defensive situations... I worked in an attorney's office during high school, I know better than to be the one to start a fight :shame:. I thought that was a pretty normal figure, nothing out of the ordinary, but the looks I get after saying I was in that many fights in high school have me thinking that either everyone I know has lived an extremely sheltered life or maybe my high school was worse than I thought...?
Is it really that common for twenty-something man to have never been in a fight?
