The best form of defence is attack
The most vital element of attack is surprise
Therefore the best way to protect yourself against any assailant is to attack him before he attacks you.
You may be able to render your assailant unconsious before he is even aware of your existance!
(Self defence, by monty python of course)

Eliminate 1 and 3 and it isn’t bad advice at all.
In fact, the only reason 1 is wrong is because if people can’t see your face, chances are you can’t see those fuckers over there sneaking up behind you.[/quote]
Not to mention that with a hoodie over your head someone can quickly pull it down further over your face and then beat the shit out of you without you even knowing who is hitting you.

In response to the “acting mentally unstable” one, there was a girl at my school a couple of years ago who was running in the early morning when a guy pulled up in a car to attack her. He approached her, and she dove to the grass next to the sidewalk, started tearing out grass and putting it in her mouth, and growling/barking. The guy proceeded to call her crazy, and drove off. It seems stupid, but hey it’s worked at least once.
I would pay to see that happen.[/quote]
Even worked in a basketball game, i think it was a D2 College game one guy got on his knees and started barking while his teamate scored.
Consider wearing a hooded sweatshirt or hooded coat with the hood pulled over your head. When people can’t really see your face, they are more wary of approaching you. With your hood up and your head down, you become an unknown quantity on the streets.

That’s right. Let’s eliminate the best sense we have against coming danger (sight). Hell, may as well crawl and make it seem like humans never stood up on the plains of Africa in the first place.
Eye contact is a challenge. Guarantee a fight.
Maybe. Some will think you’re crazy, some will think you’re an easier target. I wouldn’t.
I’ve walked thru the meanest streets of Peaceful Valley ID, strolled down the toughest allies and lots of Tranquil Hills IA, and Sauntered down Main St. in Harmony Hills CA, with a sneer on my face and not once did any ‘bad ass’ mofo start any trouble with me.
If one of those old geezers on the corner with their strollers and cains woulda started trouble with me it would be curtains for em I tells ya, curtains!

Hire a prostitute. An acquaintance of mine routinely staggers around Rio when he’s off-duty, he says the whore he is with always makes sure he’s not robbed or killed. lol
