Can you call yourself a man if you never been in a fight?

[BigSteppa]

I was jus thinking bout this the other day. Like I understand as you get older you'll want to try and avoid duking it out but how's this one guy I work with gon tell me he never got into a scrap before

I asked him what he did in like situations when guys be testing you and he said he'd just "walk away"

And before y'all come for me there's nothing wrong with walking away but some situations you just can't walk away from. All I know is that anyone who never fought before has allowed someone at some point to disrespect them most likely in front of others and walk away unscathed

If you never been in a fight then that means you've let a few people disrespect you before. Not a slight disrespect either..

 

[MischievousMonkey]

This man is smart

Exactly and another thing I forgot to add is that I asked him what would you do if someone swung first and he said he'd run

If I don't see no weapon then I ain't running foh

 

[MoveForward]

Of course you can... I have been in several fights and all of them were avoidable and I wouldn't have felt any different had I just walked away. When I used to beat people the fukk up I would feel horrible afterwards and I would typically apologize.

If a person only picc n chooses who he fights had he ever been in a real fight? Like if he only ever fought ppl half his size but tries to talc it out with everyone his size or bigger

 

[Rawtid]

I would hope so. That means you have control of your emotions like you’re supposed to.

My last fight was like a year ago and honestly I was embarrassed afterward. I didn't lose, the embarrassment came from "son'ing" another black man. Even though that person violated I decided after that not to raise my hand to another black person unless my or my families lives are threatened. Basically kid shyt imo.

Yes being a man is about working and taking care of your family not fighting

Idk about that cause for me personally there has been times where dudes have swung first and at that point it's either swing back or be a bytch

 

[Womb Raider]

Hell yeah you can be a man without getting into a fight. That’s not what makes you a man. And most nikkas that say they got hands pick and choose who they fight anyway. That’s not being a man, that’s cherry picking.

 

[Peak]

The last time I had a fight I was a boy. Being a man does not mean you need to fight. It just means standing firm on your principles and what you perceive as the modicum of respect you are entitled to when people engage you. If you ain't getting that challenge it by all means; if that means fighting let's get it.

 

[EndGame]

It's been years since I've been in a fight. I'm talking close to 15 years.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Yeah you can.

But there's a Big difference between having never fought and knowing how to fight.

If you can't fight you ain't a real man

If you never been in a fight then that means you've let a few people disrespect you before. Not a slight disrespect either..

Or you don’t have friends

Or that you can’t be trusted
