As someone who grew up similar to you, I now realize the advantages of aggression. A few friends of mine took up coaching in boxing or MMA and the difference in confidence and dealing with completely unrelated situtations was visible. They were less afraid to be confrontational and more likely to get their way at work and other places. They got more dates and a lot more sex. Women and people in general will demonize some kinds of aggression but reward people who engage in it.

It seems that my comment was misinterpreted as if I grew up never doing any sport or social things. On the contrary, I was doing sports from the early age, first table-tennis, then throughout my primary and high school basketball and then I've discovered martial arts in my 30's and trained karate, judo and jujutsu. I just commented that we shouldn't normalize things like bar fights (just like OP said).
