Not really. I've been punched by a 10 year old, but you can't really retaliate when you know his family is heavily involved in gang activity and one wrong move will get his massive siblings after you. Said obese siblings have said some stuff, but ignoring scum like that usually works a treat.
A couple times at school.
Once this guy told me at break that him and 5 other older kids were going to beat me up on the last day of school. I told him if he had a problem with me then lets do it right here right now 1 on 1. He of course backed down, coward.

Only once but he was one of the small fat types who happened to have his friends with him at the time. Quick kick to the nads made him let go of me.
a group of guys put broken bottles to my neck and threatened to slit it all because my stupid friend connor called them neds. but they let me leave after one of them calmed the others that was shit scary but one of them cut their hand breaking the glass so ha.
Yep, I got threatened few times, once it ended up in 3 immigrant boys from my school beating me up after school and cracking my skull in the progress (tho my jaw and nose didn't get any hits). And I lost all memory of that day and got unconscious so fast that i didn't feel any pain. I did feel the next day ALOT of pain tho for almost a 2 months, and mental scars show up every now and then. I grew myself long hair to hide the nasty scar on my head.
That was the time I lost MOST of my remaining trust for people who I'm in physical contact. I trust people who I play more than the people who are around me.

Doesn't matter if you have muscles, being tall is imposing nonetheless. People aren't apt to go after people taller then them unless they are very confident. I'm a tall dude, I don't really work out, and I'm a little chubby. I've never been in an actual fight in my whole life probably because of my height and my overall body size when compared to others. 6'4", and 260 pounds is imposing no matter how the weight is distributed.ShrooM_DoughKiD said:
Yup... I used to live in South African, so I guess it comes as no surprise that somebody tried to mug me.
Fortunately, I'd just finished fencing class and was walking home. When the one dude pulled a knife, I grinned and yanked out my demonstration sabre(which is a real one, not a fencing practice blade). The look on their faces was absolutely priceless.

still.. if you came across some pissed off 5' coke machine with legs... well, yeah. do you think you'd stand a chance? I'm not trying to have a go at you man, just saying. Muscles and agreeably, confidence play a big role in not getting your ass handed to you.gilthanan said:
A few times. I pretty much brushed it off. Most recent time I didn't care because the guy lives on the other side of the province and said he'd being two other guys, then scrambled to cover it when I called him on that. Time before that I knew the guy could kick my ass, but I also knew he wouldn't be unscathed. Nothing came of it, turns out an ex of mine was using his phone to pretend to be him.
Only once, but it was a good chance to try out a technique I'd learned from Derren Brown (British street magician, NLP practitioner, Psychologist, etc), he was drunk and thought his girlfriend had pointed me out (no idea what for), he came storming over to me shouting over to me to start something. I turned around, big grin on face (shitting myself inside), and pretended he was an old school friend I hadn't seen since I was about 7. I rambled about how good it was to see him, had a laugh with him about my old teacher, and reminisced over a song the school had everyone sing. I cheerfully laughed it over with him, pretending he knew exactly what I was talking about.
Of course he had never met me, but he was drunk, and I was keeping the conversation moving fast enough for him to not maintain his bearings on it. The effect is known as ( I think) an adrenaline dump. He can't be that confused and off guard while being aggressive, so all the momentum and aggression are replaced by this intense disequalibrium. It was at that point that I said my goodbye and swiftly darted away from him. The look on his face was priceless and I was so thrilled it worked.
In that scenario, you could easily get a good first hit off on somebody if a fight's unavoidable (or in Derren's case hypnotise them), I didn't because I fight like a octopus having a seizure. You have to think fast, or (like I did)have a speech planned out for if the situation arises. Though I think I was just lucky he was drunk.
Plus: I'll look for a link to that 'adrenaline dump'.
Edit: Okay, after some light research, I can conclude that the 'adrenaline dump' is actually the rush of the adrenaline preparing for fight or flight, which you then need to dissipate and ultimately reverse in the guy threatening you.
