So what does size have to do with it??
Size has to do with "perception" for an attacker, not in actual defensive abilities.
If you had a choice of mugging a BIG guy, or an old woman...which would you choose?
I was just funnin' with sun' comments about being "a bigger male."
Not only does someone's physical stature come into play, so does the manner in which they carry themselves. Walking with determination, looking around and making eye contact makes you less of a target.
Criminals will always prey on people they perceive to be easy or weak. Less risk. There are however some exceptional cases where the norm does not apply. Crimes of passion and revenge killings are 2 such cases.
