My fighting phase was over 30 years ago, and believe me when I say that
you wouldn't want to associate with any of the guys I used to hang out with.
I also never fought in bars; I wanted to avoid any charges for damage to
the facility. Parking losts were user-friendly for fighting - bounce folks
off of cars, slam their heads into the edge of curbs, etc. A few of my
old-time friends did move on and make good lives for themselves, although
not one of them likes classical music.
I realize that the "geek" image does exist. So many people think that
guys who like classical music are physically frail, not approachable, and
downright snotty. The only way to offset that image is to show folks that
you're a regular guy who happens to like classical music. Unfortunately,
there are always a few people who fit the image to a tee.
