So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

Hmmmmmm@Pooflake, my general demeanour is that of a very friendly guy!
In my 48 years on this particular planet I have found that the smaller members of the human race are the most likely to try it on, but that's only my experience, I may be wrong!
As an aside, the only person who's ever successfully tried to stick a knife in me was well under 5'6".
On a serious note, I believe in a concept that the Japanese call "Zanshin". They believe everyone radiates zanshin and that most people are "tuned in" to it, some more than others. It's probably a body language thing. I've always told my girls "Look like a victim and you'll be a victim". If you walk confidently and assuredly, head up, hands free and unencumbered, looking all round you all the time, you're less likely to be accosted by the criminal classes.
Mind you, it doesn't hurt to be a bit wider than average, coupled with a face like a displeased Grizzly it's kept me out of (quite a lot of, but not all) trouble for quite a while!
