Yeah, we don't much like confrontation so we will be pretty creative in dodging or snuffing it out ASAP. However, don't be fooled into thinking we are wusses, it's not that we can't throwdown either verbally or physically, it is simply that we avoid it at all costs. If you actually get us locked into a confrontation we are the least likely of anyone to show remorse. We will go strait from "I'm a lover not a fighter" to "Kille em all and let god sort em out" If pushed hard enough. It is unfair in our eyes and shows a lack of tact and reason which we have no tolerance for.

Me to LS. The last "confrontation" I was almost in was a street fight on Mill Ave. where three guys jumped two guys and were beating them pretty bad. I started making my way over to get involved and my friend grabbed me by the shoulder and told me not to get involved. Rationally I shouldn't have, but it wasn't a fight it was a beating and I couldn't just stand by and watch.

A lot of people just see that we don't like confrontation and assume we are wusses.

Think about it this way, we hate confrontation.

When faced with it you can do one of two things. Remove yourself from the confrontation, or remove the threat of confrontation.

A guy sexually assaulted my friend in a club. I went after him. Grabbed him, spun him around, scared the shit out of him, then had him arrested. He now is a registered sex offender. Lesson learned: don't fuck with my friends.

Bear in mind I am 5'4 and about 105 lbs. Hardly frightening.

The Libra man I was with for awhile, wasn't afraid to make a stand.

From my exprience with him, it wasn't a matter of being a wussie, rather, knowing what is actually a worthy cause to battle over. Did he walk away at times? Yes, but, this was because the other person was being a bully and no valid reason to perpetuate a dispute, and he valued his integrity enough to discern the difference between maturity and immaturity.

With him .. he was very much a man and would fight for his or anothers honour when necessary .. he was also very much a man and would walk away when confrontation wasn't the prudent course to represent himself and/or his people.

Sometimes, the honour is in withdrawing and he recognized this completely.
