Likewise in my 20 years - no fights, no need. I didn't even hit the guy who thought he would stab me in the parking lot (he tapped me on the chest with the knife, mind you). As a matter of fact, I managed to leave, completely avoiding the need to defend myself. Its a lesson I learned long ago that the strongest "warrior" avoids combat completely.
And yea.. the idea of someone jogging back and forth calling my girlfriend names actually made me giggle a little bit. Someone THAT ridiculous would either be doing it out of jest or insanity, both conditions I can laugh at. Its possible that she might be offended, but it is NOT my duty as a man to prevent that. She's a strongminded woman, and I'm certain that if it really bothered HER, she'd know how to deal with it. I don't need to be the big thug who protects my woman -- this isn't the Middle Ages anymore. (Physical threats are their own category, however they are just as easy easily avoided or ignored, or defended against with equal force).
