Re: Best way to get out of a fight and still feel good about yourself?
My favorite thing to say is something like,
Other guy: Alright, buddy, let's go, you and me right now(or whatever).
Me: Are you sure? You don't know me. You don't know who I am or what I can do. If you want to fight, that's fine. I may win, or you may win...but I guarantee you that you will get hurt tonight, regardless.
The reason this works is that it brings the reality of the situation to most people who would want to fight(i.e. drunks). That little seed of doubt will be the difference between getting cussed out, and someone taking a swing at me. At least, that's the way I feel about it.
That said, I would be hard-pressed to back down from that situation. I did it once, and hated myself for it. Even if I'm going to get my ass kicked, I'd rather that than feel like a punk.
