I have never, ever truely been in a fight, since I'm a rather non-violent person. Nor have I ever been 'beaten up.'

I'd have to say that friends who do that aren't friends at all, as several people have already said. I tend to avoid people like that, if at all possible. If it is not possible, then I either intimidate them into not wanting to do anything, or psyching them out, which isn't all that complicated. I openly view threats with disdane and mild amusement. It really confuses people like that...
