Maybe OP is just a 280-pound giant so nobody dares to get in his way. Could be possible.

  It's usually the other way around. Females are far less likely to get physically attacked.

    Really? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAgjaV_EPbs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAgjaV_EPbs I remember the day that assault was reported on the news. It made my friends and myself seriously question what the hell is going on the streets of our city. It's common to prey on the weak and vulnerable. Why make it harder on yourself? Just get a job at that point.

      Yep. It's a good example of how reality breaks common expectations. I suspect it's because females tend to avoid physical confrontation like the plague and some men will stand up if someone gets in their face. But it's only a guess as to why it is the case.

        I've definitely had big friends in the past who were always getting shit started with them, even just walking down the street between bars in a group they'd out of nowhere have a stranger single them out, shoulder them while walking past, and voila now there's a street fight. But that's rather different, it's more about sport than crime. Half the time they'd become drinking buddies afterwards. When desperate people are on the prowl for people to rob however, I don't believe it's typical for them to prefer tougher targets. My understanding is most thefts are opportunistic and unattended, which tells me there's obviously a preference for less resistance, not more.
