Carry a taser, pepper spray, a knife, anything that can protect yourself. Also, take a martial arts class. I recommend Jujitsu/Judo, as they are built around executing techniques no matter how big/small you are. And then look for a job in another town and get the hell out of Dodge.

Did she just insert spaghetti-o's into..... ART!
You're better off doing some research than asking me. He only gives me bits and pieces, trust I've tried to get him to give me more info, but he's somewhat protected about the stuff he learns, and that is part of the attitude that a martial arts expert has. They don't flaunt their skill, they underplay it. He has the accolades to prove that he has passed the levels of training to perform certain arts, he kinda leaves it there.
Same.
I've never had issues past middle school, though. I'm not sure what I would do in the OP's situation.

yeah most people are still just barely smart enough to breathe and take a shit at the same time.
It's amazing how most people get a long so well for so long. We probably need eachother more than we'd like.

Fill that out, submit it to the CFO for your Province and await your rejection letter.
No. I did feel a little bad about laughing though.

Sounds like you live in a pretty shitty place, dude, or you're just really unlucky. I live in a city of around ~550,000 (about 1 million in the metropolitan area), in a part of the city that's considered to be one of the less nice (although there are very few, if any, really bad neighborhoods in Sweden compared to in large American cities). I've lived here for 5½ years, and have never been the victim of (or even seen) a mugging. And I'm not a particularly beefy guy, I'm just averagely skinny.
Yeah. I live in Philadelphia and I'm not dead yet!

I don't believe so, but I could be wrong. I use to eat like crazy, and I still barely gained anything.

What you need to do is start with a frozen bag of milk (attached to a rope) to the assailants face, follow up with a second blow via tube sock filled with poutine. As he's reeling from the pain a final thrust of your curling broom should send the message that you're not to be fucked with.
heh its the internet, I know.
This is another thread. It happens too, weight gain isn't as simple as some suggest it is, for some people.

Is what a myth? That different people have varying degrees of efficiency in their metabolism? Don't think so. I can eat all the unhealthy stuff I want without doing shit to counter it, and I still never gain any real weight. Maybe this will change later in life (I'm 27), but thus far I simply cannot get fat.
You almost certainly can with the right diet and exercise, but I feel like the suggestions of "Gain 50 pounds of muscle" seem a bit... short-sighted. It isn't like gaining that much muscle is a fast process.

I don't think anyone is insinuating murder -- just that a gun will deter all types of muggings period due to the threat itself. Getting robbed once in a large city is one thing, but as many times as the OP has, I'd definitely carry. That type of repetition is more likely to lead to him getting harmed, especially if it's the same people or area/group that knows he doesn't defend himself well.

Why do so many people suggest this all the time? Is it just an easy way to go to Japan?
ive been eating literally whatever for the past few months and ive dropped like 40 lbs
cool huh
Me thinks you're a target because of your small body frame and height. I suggested beefing up not particularly for self-defense (because even with the largest muscles and no technique you will still go down like a bag of bricks) but for intimidation factor and also as a deterrent. Couple that with some martial arts training for best effect.
Regardless you will probably still get targeted for walking alone, but anything to help your chances that idiots like that will leave you alone.

It is where I live.
People are usually nice and there is no need to worry about guns or shit like that. No one walks around with them.OP is just unlucky i guess.
I thought i heard that Japan had a lot of depressed people. Because of the kind of life they have over there. Is it really that good of an idea to move there if that's the case?
I just think that introducing a firearm to any situation whether you're the one being mugged or the mugger is just making a bad situation considerably more dangerous when it doesn't need to be.

All 3 of those items you listed are prohibited weapons in Canada. Unless he has Animal Pepper Spray, which is illegal to use on a human. As much as our law defines that you can respond with equal force being used against you, you're still not going to have an easy time in the legal system if you fight back.
You can have a high metabolism, but it won't offset everything you do. I had the same problem gaining weight and asked my Doctor about it. He had me write down everything I ate in a month and then come back to him if I still thought my metabolism was the reason I wasn't gaining weight. I didn't go back.
You'll be surprised to find out how often you skip a meal or eat too little. It sounds like you walk a lot and run when necessary. You also mentioned having a very physical job. You need to find out if your calorie intake is matching the amount of calories you're burning in a day.

I....I don't think so.
well, it's more or less to same for me (as long as I don't regularly consume more than 2000 kcal a day anyway), but I was asking the same question in another thread and apparently metabolism has little to do with being thin or not
also, from a Cracked (yeah, I know) article:

No. I'd say Newmarket is predominantly white and lends itself to having people in it you might call hicks or rednecks.

Hm, well, must be something else that makes no fat stick to my body then!

Seems like a pretty decent place to live! Avg household income over 100k?
OP are you a minority? Seems like most of the place is a bunch of white folks. Could be some racist motives?

Well, he's already in danger, and the more vulnerable he appears to his attackers, the more danger he's going to be in. Whether they're adults or teenagers, there are a lot of examples out there of people going too far.
You just have to be educated about weapons and give consideration to your situation. Sometimes all you have to do is show what you have on you in order to deter any future attempts, firearm or otherwise. If they still try something, then you'll be happy you did decide to have a weapon.

I eat a ton of unhealthy food and am only average sized. Believe the hype.
Go to an all-you-can-eat place and try to eat as much as one of the heaviest eaters there. Again, you're most likely not eating a lot of calories above maintenance on a daily basis. I had Mexican food and cheesecake last night and I'm underweight, that doesn't mean a lot.

Jeez, that is awful! Is this like a sleepy town with not many people? You're stuck there, so I'd suggest going out with friends more often.
Do you walk with proper posture and confidently? Head up, eyes level with others, no slouching. I'm a thin dude, wear glasses, am asian, yet I never got picked on for some reason. Maybe a few racist calls, but no one ever tried to mess with me.

Yeah its your size and I say this as a short guy 5'7'' although I since I'm old, mid 30s and fat 170lbs I don't get messed with anymore. When I was younger and in college like you it was an issue, I weighed maybe 135/140 then and had toothpick arms.
I have a suggestion here and I have no idea if this would help but what about getting some shoes with lifts. You would be suprised I think of what maybe a couple of inches would do for you. I'd also suggest trying to do some working out, not so you can beat them up or anything but it will change the way you carry yourself if you feel fit/strong. Back when I lifted in my late 20s I know it changed the way I carried myself, my confidence.
