This might help. I was at a Vietnamese friend's house a few weeks ago because he said his Japanese ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend wanted to fight him (the Vietnamese guy owed money to his ex-girlfriend and didn't want to pay her back for crashing her car). He is some Malaysian guy who works at a car dealership and is some kind of gangster or something. He actually came over to the guy's house, and I had to show up in the middle of the night because my friend was worried if the girl's current boyfriend was in a gang or something and wanted me to hide in the bushes). He agreed to fight the Malaysian guy; unfortunately, his fears were right about the guy having friends. He brought along an big Asian ex-Marine and some short preppy white guy. He came up in his nice fancy pick-up with the girl and his buddies in the white guy's Tranz-Am. My Vietnamese friend called me out to jump out and come over there. The 3 guys were getting out of the truck and the Vietnamese and the Malaysian guy were suppose to fight. However, I decided to intervene and annoy all of the guys. I told them hey, there's no need for a fight. I was being cocky and told the ex-Marine that I could take all of them and do martial arts (I've been doing it for 18 years). I was somewhat being sarcastic, but the ex-Marine took me seriously. I was worried about something that a fight might start, but instead I just talked to all of them. I kept telling my friend to take it easy, that we should all just not worry about anything and be quiet. I said there's no need to fight, why not talk over lunch or something? I kept asking the guys don't you have school or work tomorrow (since it was a weeknight?) I asked out loud if they had something better to do, like study or something. I am known to talk constantly and ask a lot of stupid random questions until I give my friends headaches because I habitually do this. I basically talked to everybody, standing exactly between the two parties until I bored them to death with my excessive blabbing. The guys were actually getting a look on their face like they had been interrogated for hours. I commented on the Tranz-Am lights and asked the ex-Marine what kind of training he had and told him I respected it. The Malaysian guy kept asking for the money, but my friend refused, so the Malaysian guy said my friend was an idiot for not paying for his girlfriend's car. I told my friend to take it and let them call you an idiot instead of worrying about a fight. I kept saying, hey guys, let's go out to lunch and talk about it. Insults were exchanged, but they eventually ended up driving off. I talked the guys to death, to the point that they wanted to leave and not listen to my blabbing over and over again. The preppy guy had a dreaded look on his face, not from the prospect of a fight, but from having to listen to me blab when he expected a fight. I can talk nonstop for hours without a breath about random subjects until I make people want to go away, which worked perfectly in this situation. The guys did not come back in what could have been a very bad situation, right in front of his house in his neighborhood. They drove from an hour away potentially to fight, and I saved the day.
The key here was to be annoying and make yourself look stupid, look like an idiot so people will WANT to avoid you. Don't worry about the guy you wanted to fight. Make him think you are too annoying or wimpy to mess with you because then he'll see no point in bothering you. Who cares about wounded pride, at least you are not wounded. Your life is worth more than this. I could easily have stepped in and probably picked a fight, but I would rather the guy get annoyed with me and my friend by never wanting to come back and have to look at someone like me again. You know those really annoying people that you want to avoid hanging out with and pretend not to be around; the nightmare is just being in their presence and having to listen to them talk you to death. Think of being in a room with that person for hours; it's better to go away than to want to deal with him/her again. It will probably work; make him think you are gay or make him think you are crazy. Say something like you like to look at 80-year-old women and you sniff glue. What's the honor in fighting a wimp or a guy who seems to pose no physical threat? He'll think you're wasting your time and probably leave you alone.
