I was in collage when Fight Club came out. Of course a bunch of guys decided to make an underground Fight Club. I never went to one bc I am a women and therefore exculded from Manly Punching Time but, boy, oh boy did I witness the fallout.

It didn't take long for poeple to realize that maybe a computer major shouldn't be fist fighting a ex marine who was here on the GI bill. Or maybe accounting majors shouldn't be trying to punch the six foot tall guy who does construction to afford his textbooks. Poeple had black eyes, knocked out teeth, concussions and face swelling. Turns out it's hard to hide an underground fight ring where you hit each other in the face.

Luckily the Fight club disbanded before admin got involved, and before anybody got really hurt.

I was 19 when that movie came out. I'm so glad I never knew about one or I would have definitely gone and probably ended up with some life long scar. Luckily at 19, I was only stupid enough to pierce my nipples, and not take care of them properly, so the only life long scar I got was permanently hard looking nipples (I'm male BTW, so no padded bras to help me hide them.)
