I (24m) am 6'6" tall. One of my female friends who's 5'5" told me that my height makes my belly particularly vulnerable in case if I get attacked with a pocket knife, for example. Why is it so?

Honestly, if someone pulls a knife you're fucked anyway. I like to say that the best sport for self defence is track running. Less risk of being injured, and no risk of dealing with legal consequences of injuring someone.

The loser of a knife fight dies in the street. The winner dies in the ambulance.

Yeah, last time someone tried to mug me, I realized he had two buddies behind me forming a triangle around me.

Like, I'm a big guy, the three of them added together might have had 50 pounds on me tops. And I was drunk and stupid enough I was just going to fight my way out of it.

But after a punch to the face I sobered up enough to realize what was going on and that if either of those guys behind me had a knife I was completely fucked. And we were in a nightlife area where there was literally at least one stabbing a weekend.

So I just made a path thru the one in front of me and gtfo.

I don't know if muggings are as popular as they used to be now that no one carries cash, but if I see a gun or knife I'm 100% giving it up.

I'd probably try to take my ID out first. But even that's a mild inconvenience, nothing close to getting shot/stabbed over.

My plan A was terrible tho...

Plan B was throwing one into a bush and jogging backwards towards a busy area. That worked out much better than getting stabbed a block away from safety.

If they pull a knife, you pull a gun. That's the Chicago way!

If they pull a gun, you pull a grenade pin.
