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

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

Maybe they didn’t live in the hood. Maybe their parents put them in a better neighborhood. Maybe they Are good at resolving conflict. Maybe they don’t let things get to them. I’m sure a lot of folks haven’t had a fist fight.

ppl always talking about disrespect... smh y’all be disrespecting everything... house, dogs, neighborhood, cars, ancestors, dead ppl.... get outta here with that bs.

Wow, I'm sitting here thinking about this, and you know what?! I've NEVER been in a physical fight before!!! I've always had the ability to just roll my eyes at people trying to antagonize me. Its just never worth it to take an argument to a physical level. When I see these videos online, where people are fighting each other, I'm just like...how? Why would you ever let someone get under your skin and make you lose control of your emotions. Seems a bit weak to me. I'm lowkey proud of myself that I've never been in a physical fight. Go, me!

Fighting is one of those things that becomes played out once you realize you gain nothing from it. Unless it's for self defense.

I used to think hoes wanted men who fought but in reality it just makes them scared of you.

Had a few as a teen. Got good with the hands after my first fight. After my last one, I vowed my next one would be throwing all backhand slaps, but it never transpired and I'm ok with that.

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.

If only this was a real code amongst black people

I boxed my whole life (recreationally) so I’m definitely not scared to fight given I literally have sparred atleast over 100x in my life win or lose against people who literally hit the gym everyday to fight lol. I was also in the Marine Corps under extremely high stress and being deployed. Fortunately did not have to kill anyone despite that. I promise you I ain’t scared of it if my family is threatened. By everybody ain’t sensitive to where a single word will make them ball they hands up. If anything that’s being a little hoe if you literally always in fights because you feel disrespected. Why are so many people disrespecting you if that’s happening.

I don’t think I’m less of a man that I been able to avoid physical conflict without it going all the way there. That makes me smart. Most fights start over bullshyt. I ain’t never fighting or ever fought over no bytch that ain’t my wife or family. I’m not a criminal nor did I ever get bullied to where I had to defend myself. Men fight and that can come with testosterone vs testosterone, but to tell black men that unless you engage in violence you are not a man is the most ignorant and destructive statement I have ever heard. Some of the people on the site aren’t even 21 yet. Irresponsible statement as well.

I'm 41 and haven't been in a fist fight since I was 14. I boxed for a little after college but in the streets no. And I'm the type to just say you got it big dog and keep it moving
