"Anybody else have friends like this? It's like they never grew up after highschool. Maybe all the 'roids fucked 'em up. Maybe they all have micro-penor because of it"

I have a few friends like this. I can't hang with them in public anymore. One of them in particular is a HUGE shittalker. He loves the talk AND the fight. Now if he is drinking I just leave.

The roid part can definatly be a factor. Had one friend that got shitty and short tempered when he was on cycle and with his dumb ass it he very rarely went off cycle.

I am a big guy myself. But like you I only fight to defend myself but usually intimadation and the unspoken threat of violence in a look can be enough to get me out of trouble. That is why hanging out with my first friend can be soo bad. He ends up starting the fight then I have to bail him out and it has gotten REAL ugly once or twice. But now I am older and in a relationship and don't have time or need for people like that. And I can't afford another visit to David L Moss.
