Only speaking for myself, but as a former participant in my share of bar fights (30 years ago) I can say that the “wild animalistic impulse” is exhilarating and easy to act upon until you lose, which is inevitable. Thank you for your unique and insightful writing!

Thank you for your insight—and it’s true that losing the bar fight is probably (maybe?) not worth the endeavor!

Absolutely not..,the risk/ reward ratio is very lopsided!

More bar fights than John Wayne!!! That is *intense*. Your thoughts about those stats are so interesting—especially the “mind your own business” part. And thank you so much for reading.
