"Have you ever been out with a guy, maybe your BF, maybe just a date, and another dude acted inappropriately toward you? Did you guy tell him off? Did you take care of it, or just shrug it off? Did he go after the guy? I&amp;#39;ve never really understood this last response&amp;#8212;what does he hope to gain? To impress you? To get out some rage? To enact revenge? I&amp;#39;ve always thought a clever dis is way more effective on all levels. Which is why I&amp;#39;m ashamed to make the following admission: The other night I tried to fight someone.\nPinterestFacebookHere&amp;#39;s what went down.\nI was coming out of a bar after a long, long night. I was with two young women whom I had met inside. I was about to find them a cab. While we were standing near the entrance of the club, another guy who was leaving walked over and tried to talk up one of the girls. She didn&amp;#39;t react. He then made some kind of obscene gesture, licking his hand and touching it to her face. At which point I completely lost it.\nI started to throw off my shirt (I don&amp;#39;t fight often, but I know enough to know that having no shirt to grab on to works to my advantage&amp;#8212;also that&amp;#39;s what they do in hockey) and began yelling profanities at the other dude, who had begun walking away rather quickly, over the arms of the girls who were trying to calm me down. I was hoping to shame or anger him into turning around&amp;#8212;I think. He kept going and the girls we holding on to me tightly enough that to break free would have involved me manhandling them&amp;#8212;which would have put me in a similar (though not the same) place as the dude I was mad at.\nStill, the whole thing was stupid for several reasons. One, I am sure I looked, and sounded like a complete idiot. Two, I am 5&amp;#39;8, about 150 pounds and working my way through my fourth pacemaker; odds are not in my favor. Three, it was 5 in the morning and my mental state was less than alert.\nNeedless to say, I went home alone. The next morning I wrote one of the girls a text, apologizing for my behavior and asking if she wanted to hang that night. She said she was busy. I&amp;#39;m not surprised.\nHas a guy ever fought for you? Did you like it?\nHave a question for Single John?
