It's just human nature. You defer to the most alpha looking guy in the room, or they defer to you. When there is a conflict (real or imagined), then they'll try to correct it via intimidation or violence.
Not in real life. Just in barter-town. My advice: don't be a guy who looks like, acts like, or is a denizen of barter-town. Hang out around normal adults in normal public places. If a low-life looks in your direction, which should be rare because you will rarely be in the same place, be too good for him.
Most guys who have been in street fights don't look for street fights. Most guys who spend all of their time watching fighting movies and MMA think that every glance is the first step to throwing punches.
If one of the latter guys "mad dogs" you and you are the former guy you should still walk away. You'll know that you are the former guy by almost your complete lack of adrenaline that comes from the knowledge that you will destroy better than 90% of the people who would try to fight you. Tough guys are calm because of earned confidence. Tough guys are nice and non-confrontational because of real confidence. Guys who are scared of the world look for fights. You can still walk away from them because they don't really want to fight you. If they don't back down, after you try, then you can make a choice as to whether it is worth a criminal record to teach a complete stranger that street fights are no fun.
