I agree with you .I believe you’re tough . Can handle your shit . Not a bitch . And there are also people who also don’t care , even less than you do . In the area I’m in now , you’d get shot , stabbed , jumped by 10 guys or all the above for beating the fuck outta the wrong cat or getting into unnecessary shit , unless you caught him alone , even then you’d better bounce cause trouble is coming . As silly as “ alpha “ sounds , thinking that you are the arbitrator of not “ caring “ is also as delusional . You ain’t bullet proof . Not knife proof . Not 10 guy proof . Nobody fights Mano a Mano anymore unfortunately . This is 2021.

In a one on one "fair" fight (not sucker punching or hitting from behind with a bottle or something), even in my mid 40's I'd very easily handle most guys out there. It's just a different thing when you spent years of your life training and fighting, "there are levels" applies to the general public too.
But you're spot on in that those one v one situations with no weapons and two guys squaring off don't really take place out in the world anymore. Even in the past a lot of times you'd have friends jump in, etc but seems way worse now. And shit...so many guns. And more than the amount of guns, the WILLINGNESS of dudes to pull the trigger over stupid shit! The escalation from a hand to hand fight to straight up looking to kill someone used to be huge imo (in most places anyway). Now, guys do it at the drop of a hat. No thanks.
I'll live my safe suburban life and avoid any and all of that, thanks. Don't need my kid growing up without a dad because some jackass decided it was worth it to start shooting over a spilled drink or some dumb crap.
