>though I'd otherwise be perfectly capable of doing so
This is a stupid way to think about it. Don't judge fighters by their size or demeanor. They might be fully capable of dropping you in one punch, especially if you aren't experienced with fighting.
Keep to yourself. Nobody is going to have a reason to hit you if you're a nice person.
Personally, I had train myself to be the opposite. I used to be so aggressive that in school I stuck a ballpoint pen three inches into some guy's stomach during a "fight". After narrowly avoiding prison (just BARELY got off with a self-defense plea because I didn't throw the first punch), I realized I need to never get into any sort of physical altercation again in my life and start going to therapy.
Drop your machismo, it's not worth it in any way. If someone is fucking you badly, call the police. Laugh at them as they get charges of harassment and disorderly conduct. If they hit you, laugh at them as you press assault charges. If you think you NEED defense, carry pepper spray or something, it's a fuckload more effective than hitting someone in the nose. Puts them out of commission for a good 30-45 minutes.
Think of it like playing a video game. Someone is a dick to you on a server online. You can repeatedly kill them, which might just make them pissed off slightly, or you can bitch to the admin and giggle as they get banned. Which one do you think makes them regret their behavior more?
tl;dr: Fuck fighting. If you have to fight, fuck honor, use cheap tricks. If you have the chance, get the fucker arrested and make the consequences serious for him.
