The original point I was trying to get accross to you was that it is not size or physical development alone that allows one to prevail when attacked. It is mindset first and foremost.
What I was responding to was what I percieved to the fact that you stated you were somewhat physically intimidated by some individuals. You implied it was a question of size. I was in my own sometimes very clumsy and insensitive way trying to let you know that you did not have to be intimidated by anyone.
Please accept my apologies if any of my comments were off the mark. I have in my younger days been in several situations where someone a little to impressed with their own toughness has forced an issue in an establishment devoted to serving spiritous beverages. The big trick in these circumstances is to avoid becoming either a hospital patient or a guest of the government. Never ever starting a fight but always winning is what is needed.
