Things that frequently got me beat up in North Florida:

1) Liking and befriending girls, and treating them as people, not as interchangeable mindless sex objects.

2) Being friends with black people.

This isn’t a complete list. I don’t have time to type all the “reasons” I got my ass kicked over the years. And ya’ll don’t have time to read 100,000 words.

But the above was two big reasons that I found myself in the dirt over the years. Sometimes, the other guy found himself there, too, but it took me a lot of fights to get good at fighting.
