I haven't actually been in a real fight in a long time, about two years. When I was younger though, man oh man. I have been the ass kicker and have gotten my ass kicked. It was the group of guys I hung out with that really influenced my participation in fights though,. Most of them were alchohol involved, some where just over trivial things like talking to a guys GF or something. I no longer really hang out with those guys anymore, I'm glad, they still to this day go around fighting people and they are all in their mid to late 20's.
