My dude, it ain't about LIKING to fight. It's about being ABLE to fight. Most people don't like to fight. But, you have to be able to defend yourself.
I know this is a whole different scenario but, suppose a dude is walking somewhere with his girl and another dude tries to holla while he's walking with her. Because he doesn't like confrontation, he just let's dude say whatever? Man, girlie would lose ALL respect for him. and it's not about being a thug. It's about having a backbone. IJS.
