You guys can say what you want, but if you’re somewhere like less-than-reputable bar or something, eye contact is a big thing in establishing dominance and can lead directly to a fight. If you don’t believe me, go somewhere and give some dude hard looks for a couple minutes. He’ll say something.
Why should anyone give a shit if someone is going to show “dominance” by staring at you…proves absolutly nothing in my book. I would rather do what Im there to do drink, hang with my boys, or talk to people…theres other ways to prove dominance then by looking at them…but thats a whole different topic.[/quote]
Yeah, I thought you had to mount him to show you’re dominant? That’s what I do.

It’s always the little guys trying to express how “dominant” they are all of the time.

Dude, I GREW UP in places like that. You get in fights by playing into it and staring back like there’s a problem.

Me too. I thought you were saying that the guy was worrying about something that doesn’t really happen.
Big guys in a bar (and I mean muscular big as opposed to barrel chested big guys) are the #1 target as soon as guys get drunk. i have no idea why, but as soon as a big guy walks in, tons of shit talking starts going on all around about the big dude, how he’s probably on steroids, most likely has a small cock, and how “Yea, he’s big, but I’d fuck him up yo.”
Rarely, if ever, is any of this said to Big Guy’s face. It’s humorous. Guys are douchebags.

If someone is staring at me, I usually look back making eye contact and then look away. To do much more than that is ESCALATION, especially when it might be nothing at all (as it is in most cases)[/quote]
I agree. I do the same.
I had to see it in real life before believed it, but people will fight you for looking at them crooked.

That’s not true. Assholes come in all shapes and sizes. To say that it’s only smaller guys who start trouble is absolute bullshit.

OH YEAH… I workout at a university gym… its a pretty big problem. They put down everyone, spend 5 minutes in betwean sets talking to people, chest out, shoulders back… not to mention each and every single one of them have ILS (invisible lat syndrome).

Again, depends on the situation. I don’t do it to other people, so if other people do it to me, I consider it really disrespectful. Most times I will do exactly as I said- direct eye contact for a few seconds, then slowly pull the eyes away and continue around the room. It lets them know you know whats up, but that they’re not worth the time.
If it continues for a length of time, I will inevitably say something about it.
But on a serious note just don’t give a shit - there are always gona be shitty little dickheads who will try act tough or whatever in front of their retard friends.
You could get in a fight, but then does that mean you will fight every guy that ever stares at ya? Wouldn’t get a lot of time for anything else if you’re beating punks all the time!
Just walk on unless they are actually giving you shit…
I had a guy at my girlfriends bar walk up and poke me in the side and ask if I wanted to fight outside and the looser buys the tab…I laughed my fucking ass off then realized he was serious…Dude was fukin hammered and just got back from a Nascar race…It took me about 15min to talk him out of fighting me ( Mind you this is in my girls bar) Luckly he was with some friends that know me and they talked him down and de-escilated the confrontaion…5-10 min later he appologized so I bought him a shot…he set it down and pushed me afterwards and his friends drug him outside…
i finished my beer and followed him outside only to realize that he broke into someones car and passed out in the back seat with the door wide open, so my revenge was calling the cops and having him arrested for B&E…that was the best fight I ever got in…I didnt have to pull his face off and I still got satisfaction…PS he wasnt little he was about 210lbs…I was about 270lb at the time.

hahaha thats incredible. Sweet satisfaction of watching him roll away in cop car… priceless.
yeah the only reason I brought this up is because it does get annoying, and no I don’t act like a douchebag. This tends to happen more often when people are in groups, as opposed to when people are alone. Like the other day, I was at a restaurant with a couple others and these guys, about 6-7 of them kept staring at us. Whatever it probably is an insecurity thing though.

Funniest part is when the cops got there I explained how out of no where he was attempting to provoke a fight with me (mind u were talking next to the car and the guy is still passed out in it) and the cop started laughing pulled out his taser and asked if I wanted revenge like he was going to hand it to me…then he laughed put it away and cuffed the kid.
