Interesting thread."
"I've never seen a fight in Thailand or elsewhere, nor have I ever been involved in one."
Same here. I never saw or had a fight untill the first time"
--------------------------------------------
"This thread reinforces my view that there are those who seem to be a magnet for trouble wherever they go, and those that don't."
You may have a point here. Are you a fatalist?
---------------------------------------------------------
"To paraphrase Oscar Wilde, to find yourself in a threatening situation once is unfortunate... to have it happen 2-3 times in quick succession sounds like carelessness."
Now I have to disagree strongly! I was not being careless on any of the three occasions, in fact I had my whits about me and stopped drinking after the first incident.
My TGF and I were out for a game of pool only, she was not drunk, I was not drunk the antagonists were all drunk.. Therfore it was those assholes  who were being carless, not me!
-------------------------------------------------------------
"If people find themselves in fights or being threatened with physical violance regularly, perhaps they should take a step back and consider that the only common factor in all those apparently random occurances is, in fact, themselves."
Unfortuntely, I do seem to attract wankers who want to prove something. Maybe it's my appearance. 
I am not proud of it, but I have been shot three times, stabbed twice and hit on the head with a hammer (not all at the same time) and I am used to dealing with drunken assholes through working with the US and British Military for more than 15 years throughout Germany.
I don't really want any more agro in my life. I'm 54 years old and well past it.
But they will come unstuck if they wanna f*** with me!
--------------------------------------------------------
Yin and Yang are not bar girls' names, you know 
If you believe it that stuff then fair play to you.
Me I am a realist.

Paraphrasing Oscar Wilde with a quote about making trouble in a thread where we have openly discussed the Marquiss of Queensbury is Scobie taking the piss me thinks.
Basher BTW, I didn't ask you why you are called basher but if you were one. I was having a little dig at your clever dick attempt.
Basher = Fighter, or
Bash one out = wank, so
Basher = wanker.

Oscar Wilde, c1892, at a dinner party at which he was hogging the conversation and during a very rare moment's silence:
"Someone in this room is beginning to bore me and I think it might be me."
I'll get my coat......

I certainly agree with the view that, with the rare exception of unfortunate circumstances and fate, those folks that get into trouble usually ask for it.
I don't think I've been in a fight since elementary school. This isn't to say that I am a coward, but I certainly do the utmost to avoid any unnecessary confrontation.
Scobie, thanks for the astute Oscar Wilde quotes. There is nothing like good old erudite wit.

Was at Soi CBoy last week. I believe S wong and some how got into some small talk and the Aussie who heard I was from the US stated to me aggressively "I hate Americans." Well I was getting close to BFing someone and really do not care where anyone is from.
The Aussie went on--obviously very drunk--to give me the reason for his hatred and I said to him very flatly--"Look I had no control where my mother and f**ked." After that statement the aussie was quiet and caused me no more grief. As a matter of fact became more friendly. 30 min later I left with my BF TG. NOthing personal aginst Aussie's just stating the facts.

Well, just for the record, so to speak, the bar managers, one of them British, and mama-sans I've spoken with, have all the said basically the same thing, when there is trouble in the bar it is usually a Brit. Gross generalization, I know. And here I had always thought all you Brits were suppose to be "Gentlemen."

I guess the gentlemen thing goes out the window when it comes to soccer and booze.
