The Psychologists keep saying, "Don't walk like a victim." All predators seek the easiest prey, whether Goblin or wolf. Walking with an air of confidence is off-putting, apparently.
I have never in my fairly long life ever sought trouble. I was told, once upon a time, that I had a way of walking into a place that exuded the message, "Don't mess with this guy." I was startled; such a thing had never occurred to me. (Actually, I was probably just struttin' a bit for whatever cute sweeties might be hangin' out.
)
I'll take luck over skill, any day.
