Most often there’s a considerable age difference. I don’t know about you, but my own experience is that street fights tend to favor the younger antagonist. YMMV.
As I have told many people since I've grown older: I'm getting too old to fight, and I'm too bullheaded to just take an @$$whipping, so my only alternative is to shoot their sorry @$$ and drop a sharped screwdriver next to their body...
As I was told by my father many years ago: "Son, don't go starting fights... But if you find yourself in the middle of one, remember that there are NO rules, and end the fight with whatever you have at hand."
