I wear one of these and a Gracie Academy shirt so people know I train, and people don't bother me

It's all about your killing intention and the aura you're exuding.

>>1852580
Ears. If you didn't know that, then you are certainly not one of us.

>>1852594
Probably because they think you have autism

>>1856462
Only do boxing

>>1856462
>Ears
This. Possibly having a thick neck and facial scars, but let's be honest OP, you seek this kind of attention and feel happy whenever you get it.

>The cauliflower meme

OP, the real answer was studied some time ago by psychologists using prisoners and asking who they would pick to rob if they were given the chance. They were shown some recordings of people walking, and the reason given was noted. Then they studied what the potential victims shared in common, both in responses and the video.

And for the most part, is neither the clothes or physical appearance, although scars played a minor role (that include cauliflower ears), which was minimized to almost irrelevancy when the people were in dark areas, which is the favourite place to rob people, like dark alleys and stuff.

The real answer was much more simple: body language. Walking with confidence, displaying awareness of the area, fast reflexes and such were the key. They were more likely to try to rob someone who was evidently scared or oblivious to his surroundings than approaching a guy who displayed rapid reflexes and was more likely to fight, even if they were armed.

I know this will sound like material for a cringe thread, but I had similar experiences. The first time I was assaulted, I was kind of feeling down because personal reasons, and some other time I was being followed by a thug, which I scared just by turning around and looking straight at him. Not "come at me" as some sort of Bruce Lee wannabe, just like a casual "what's up". He was arrested some days later, that's how I knew (or suspect) his intentions.

Oh, I forgot to add this:

>Believe it or not, there's a body of research out there about ways not to get mugged. If you want to avoid being mugged in the first place, self-defense classes won't help you; it's all about your swagger.

I dunno about grapplers but as a striker(muay thai and boxing), people notice that you're "twitchier" than normal. Something about reacting to being surprised by bringing up both hands to chest level and slipping is going to ring obvious bells of this guy knows how to fight.

>>1860768
Wtf are you talking about you autistic, if someone surprises me I don't start trying to slip punches

>>1860605
>citation needed
>because you're almost certainly just making shit up

>>1860669
and here's the citation right here

i'd still argue that the perpetrator's confidence level has more to do with it than anything. the study with the cons is no good because you have guys who have to pretend to be tough and no guarantee of an honest answer. plus watching a video is quite a bit different from actually robbing a person so whether or not a convict claims he'll rob you based on a videotape of you means nothing in practical terms

honestly it's mostly whether the mugger has a weapon, what weapon it is, if he has backup, and how likely he is to be caught

swagger is a nice idea, but to self-help

>>1852580
Well, the guy in the picture has the skull proportions of a neanderthal, something common among your kind.

>>1852594
I want one of those belts so I can advertise to everyone and shout from the roof tops
I HAVE A HOBBY AND I'M NOT PARTICULARLY GOOD AT IT!!!

Yeah I get some grief sometimes for just minding my own business. It's never people that actually know how to fight that do that though.
