I'm 5'10" and weigh 205 pounds. I lift almost every day so I am mostly muscular. I know these factors can make or break you in a fight, so those out there with a lot of fighting experience please tell me my advantages and disadvantages. Thank you.

Haha...I find this question funny coming from a liberal. That's awesome.
But yeah...just because you lift doesn't mean that you can fight. If you don't know how to work with your body or how to throw a punch then lifting is useless. I would recommend buying a punching bag so you can get used to hitting something.
Get your form down...stance...feet shoulder width apart...legs slightly bent so you can move easily and fast. Raise your fists to the sides of your face...but not to close. Start punching the bag. This will build up the correct muscles necessary when you do decide to get into a fight. You could just walk up to somebody and knock them out...but it's always good to build up endurance. You get tired way easier and sooner than you think you will be in a fight.
Buy a few pairs of boxing gloves and invite some friends over. They have instructional boxing videos...to teach you techniques also.

The first guy hit the nail right on the head, mot guys now days are too p-ssy to fight, that is why they have guns, as far as your size goes, believe me that is not an advantage, I was a boxer for ten years, 150lbs, 5 foot 4, benching 320, and to train I would throw 380 punches at my heavy bag within 3 minutes and do it for ten rounds with a one minute break in between each round, I avoided fights at all cost but had no difficulty ending a fight in about 5 seconds outside the ring.
The best way to win a fight is to not get into one, a real man focuses his attention on how he can help other people rather than how he can feel good about himself by beating someone up, use your size and your strength to help people, and always, always remember no matter how tough you are there is always someone tougher, the world doesn't need any more hard azz's.

How To Beat Someone Up

depends i guess i would like to say probably not but too many circumstances! karate is all about the structure of fighting and learning how to use your strengths and opponents weaknesses. So if even in size and all that I would say yes. I took karate for years and can't count how many "street fighters" i sent to the ground but if i get that 300 pound dude swinging for the fences that won't go off balance then I might be done!

Strength isnt going to help you as much as technique does. You need to take some martial arts classes (pick the one you like best). Don't get me wrong, strength does help, but not as much as technique. If someone was better in martial arts than you are in strength, the martial artist would win because of technique. The best way to win a fight is to avoid it in the first place.

Okay!!!
Your advantages ...maybe that with being muscular you could absorb a good strike to your torso providing it wasn't the solar plexus,collar bones or ribs.
Disadvantages ...maybe with being muscular you may possibly be slower in reaction time than your opponent ,thus be vulnerable to the most difficult area to defend against on a human being which is the knees.
Hope this helps !!!

1 Don't fight.
2 If forced to defend yourself, use everything you can.
3 Attacking is often a great defense.

Well your first disadvantage is you think your muscles are your best weapon. They are certainly not a disadvantage but training and experience is your best weapon. And through training and experience you will learn what is really your best weapon. There is no substitute for training. Look at Chuck Lidell. He is in shape but not some muscle head. He is an increadible striker. Period. Again if you are serious, train hard.

Use your Brain, and counter or evade as needed. You speak of Muscle first, wisdom last. That's your first mistake.

If you decide on physical confrontation you have lost the battle of wits.
